Tina’s Story
Daniel Sickles, known for his intellect and friendship with James Buchanan, made a name for himself in politics. BUT it’s his wife’s infidelity that leads to a crime of passion and a newfound defense plea.
Hillary’s Story
Federal judge Samuel B. Kent was well respected since his appointment to the bench in 1990, BUT when he made unwanted advances to staff members, he faced impeachment.
