The Crimes That Shaped Our City: Warwick Murder Suspect Adam Emery (Part 1)
Episode description
Join lawyer and true crime fanatic Kate Itacy for stories about crimes allegedly committed by Warwick citizens or within Warwick city limits.
Today, hear the tale of Warwick murder suspect Adam Emery. When his Ford Thunderbird was sideswiped at Rocky Point Park in 1990, Adam sped after the wrong car, ran it off the road, and stabbed the driver to death. At trial, Adam argues he only meant to talk with the driver about the accident, and only stabbed the driver when Adam believed his own life was in danger.
Next week, tune in to Part 2 to learn about the mysterious disappearance of Adam and his wife just a few hours after the jury finds him guilty of second-degree murder.
Katherine Itacy was born and raised in Warwick, worked as a criminal defense lawyer in the city, and remains a civil rights and criminal justice advocate.
