An HBO docuseries follows the story of a white man who killed his wife but blamed a Black man, and the reckoning that follows
“My wife’s been shot. I’ve been shot.”
On 23 October 1989 Charles “Chuck” Stuart, who was white, called 911 to report that he and his pregnant wife, Carol, had been carjacked and shot by a Black man in Boston’s Mission Hill neighbourhood. Carol died that night. Their baby died days after being born. Stuart survived and garnered nationwide sympathy.
