The Case Against Nikki Addimando

Show Notes

When a police officer saw a red car stopped at a green light just after 2 AM, he figured the driver had fallen asleep and he blew his horn hoping to wake the person up and continue on his way. What he didn’t expect was for the driver, a very small, young woman, to get out of the car and start confessing to a murder.

The woman was 28 year old Nikki Addimando, and she told the police officer how she had shot and killed her boyfriend of 9 years, Christopher Grover, and that his body was lying on the couch in their apartment. She told the officer she'd done it in self defense - Chris has been horrifically abusive to Nikki throughout their 9 year relationship. But there was something about her story the officer didn't like, and the prosecutor thought she could see Nikki for exactly what she really was - a master manipulator.
