KELLY SIEGLER ON INTERNET RADIO TONIGHT!

Tonight at 10:00 ET, tune in to "War on Crime Radio" to hear Kelly Siegler discuss a murder case that took prosecutors 27 years to make.

Today, jurors began deliberating the fate of Aaron Foster, on trial in Minnesota for the shooting death of his girlfriend Barbara Winn in 1981. Last year, when Foster was finally charged, the victim's family stood beside the sheriff who accused the county prosecutor of "dragging his feet":

"We are befuddled as to why they haven't pressed [charges]," the sheriff said at a televised press conference. "It's either lack of competency, lack of caring, lack of making it a priority. . . ."

Kelly will also discuss the worldwide controversy surrounding the upcoming execution of José Medellin for the sadistic slayings of Elizabeth Peña and Jennifer Ertman. Kelly was a prosecutor in the multiple gang-rape murder case.

Listen to the live broadcast tonight at 10:00. Kelly will be taking callers' questions and will be joined by WCI's Policewoman / Novelist Stacy Dittrich along with Crime Victims Advocate Andy Kahan.

KELLY SIEGLER ON INTERNET RADIO TODAY

This afternoon at 5:00 p.m. EDT, catch WCI's Kelly Siegler on a live Internet radio broadcast. Today's topic on War on Crime Radio: "Husbands Suspected of Murder."

Gunslinging Texas prosecutor Siegler has much to say on the subject, having tried her share of intimate partner homicides. Two of Kelly's most notable cases: Susan Wright, who was convicted of binding her husband to the couple's bed and stabbing him hundreds of times; and David Temple, whom a jury found guilty of the shotgun slaying of his pregnant wife. WCI's Kathryn Casey is working on a book about the Temple case.

Today, Kelly (pictured right) will give her take on two husbands who are prime suspects in their wives' deaths: Drew Peterson (with wife Stacy at left) who has not been arrested for the disappearance and presumed murder of his wife, and a computer programmer currently on trial. Englishman Neil Entwistle is accused of murdering his wife and baby in 2006 (family at right). The book about the case was released last week, written by WCI's Michele McPhee, who is now covering the Entwistle trial.

Joining Kelly for today's broadcast is Dr. Maurice Godwin, a forensic expert, investigative psychologist, and author. WCI's Violence Expert and author Susan Murphy-Milano will also participate in the discussion with her co-host Levi Page.

Click here to tune in this afternoon at 5:00. Kelly will be taking your questions during the live broadcast: 347/838-9781. Listeners can also weigh in with their thoughts at The War on Crime's interactive discussion board. Also, watch for Kelly's first post for Women in Crime Ink this coming week.
