In a surprise move, Glen Samuel McCurley changed his plea from “not guilty” to “guilty” on Tuesday, August 24th, 2021, the third day of his trial for the February 1974 murder of Carla Jan Walker. On Part 3 of Justice for Carla, Emily Dixon speaks with us about what the third day of trial had in store if it had proceeded and Carla’s siblings, Jim and Cindy, share with us their thoughts on everything from their allocations to their sister’s new legacy – her murder case as a template for other families desperate for answers.

Special thanks to Cindy, Jim, Tarrant County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Emily Dixon, Nicole (Juror #6), and Detectives Jeff Bennett and Leah Wagner for their contributions to this episode.
