Silent Night, Violent Night Justin Stephens

Silent Night, Violent Night is described by Discovery ID as in 2006, Christmas cheer hits an all-time low in Hubbardston, MI when 80-year-old Billie Cunningham is found murdered in her home. Years pass as police search for a vicious killer. But it turns out the shocking confession is well worth the wait.  

Justin Stephens appealed his conviction, stating,   After  The  Ionia  County  Sheriff  Department  concluded  the  death  as  accidental,  a  crew  arrived to clean the scene of the victim’s death.  During their cleaning, they found earrings lying on  the  floor  where  the  victim  had  died.    One  of  the  earrings  had  a  bent  post,  indicating  to  the  members  of  the  cleaning  crew  that  it  had  not  fallen  out  of  the  victim’s  ear.    They  also  found  a  statue or a piece of a broken
statue in the middle of the victim’s living room.  The pieces of glass and the mirror were preserved by the cleaning crew and bagged. Defendant,  who  had  moved  to  Texas,  lived  with  the  Kramer  family  who  he  had  met  in  Texas.    Defendant  dated  Jessica  Broom,  who  also  lived  with  the  Kramer  family.    The  Kramer  family  lived  across  the  street  from  the  victim,  which  led  police  to  question  him  and  other  members  of  the  Kramer  household.    Despite  having  concluded  the  death  “accidental,”  in  December of 2006 and January of 2007, Ingram spoke with defendant four times.
