Jennifer Richards was introduced to Guiding Light under tragic circumstances.  In April of 1980, she, her husband, and her daughter Morgan were driving through Springfield when they were involved in a head-on collision with attorney Mike Bauer. Jennifer's husband was killed instantly, leaving her and Morgan alone in Springfield. Needing money, and harboring a dark secret, Jennifer stayed in Springfield, and took a job as household manager for the wealthy Lucille Wexler. Lucille learned Jennifer's secret and, as a result, tried to stab her to death. In the ensuing struggle, it was instead Lucille who was killed. Lucille's dying words to her daughter, Amanda, were that Jennifer had tried to murder her. During her trial, Jennifer inexplicably confessed to the crime, and was given a long prison sentence.  But her attorney, Mike Bauer, wasn't satisfied that justice had been done. He uncovered fresh evidence, which resulted in a new trial. The audience was riveted by the second trial, which had many surprising twists, and ended with a shocking revelation.This collection features ten consecutive episodes from January 1981, which tell the story of the trial of Jennifer Richards.
