Growing up as brothers, it is a common thing to have agruements and physical fights.  Blaming one another for breaking the glass or eating the last cookie is common among older and younger brothers.  In bibical days, Cane killed Abel over jealousy.  In 2009 one brother was charged with killing the other, not because of jealousy, but because of self defense.  As tragic as the case was for one brother to have killed another, not intentionally but to prevent a further assault, it was more tragic that Denny Petitt was charged with first degree murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison.  This emotional case was plagued with police interview misconduct, jury misconduct and most of all a brother who was attempting to protect himself from further injury other than the broken jaw he already sustained.  Tune in this Wednesday as our guest will be Kelly Thompson, Dennis's biggest supporter who also happens to be his daughter.
