Stacey Lannert & Charaty White Tuesday, December 2 at 7pm | 6c


The first of two stories in this episode features Stacey Lannert, who was convicted of murder in 1992. Stacey grew up in St. Louis Missouri. According to Stacey, her father began to molest her in the basement of their home when Stacey was eight years old. Convinced by her father that her mother knew about the abuse and didn?t care, Stacey kept quiet. On the night of July 3rd, 1990, Stacey and her sister returned to their home after being out with friends. Stacey says she could no longer take the abuse and took her father?s gun and shot him twice, fatally wounding him. Stacey confessed to the police and agreed to do a video re-enactment of the crime. She was convicted of murder in the first degree and received a life sentence without parole. She is hoping to be granted clemency by the Governor of Missouri. Charaty White grew up in a depressed neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri where the streets were filled with violence and crime. She left home at 15, became a member of a gang, assumed the nickname ?Baby Doll?, and was known to the police for drug dealing, burglary, and carrying a weapon. When a double cross drug deal went bad, Charaty and her boyfriend Demetrius were involved in a murder. In an effort to keep Demetrius from being convicted, Charaty, along with two of her girlfriends, fatally tortured and stabbed 19-year-old Danielle Montgomery who had become a ?secret witness? to the police. Charaty is now serving a life sentence without parole for the murder.
