A&E describes the fate of a murderous couple on a familial rampage in American Justice: Deadly Magnolia -- Patricia Allanson. The Allansons appeared to be a happy couple. But, underneath, tensions raged in the newlyweds' home. Pat accused her husband Tom's parents of being hateful and mean. She ultimately convinced the younger man that they were out to get them both. What followed was a series of murders that would put them both behind bars. Pat was a hindrance at Tom's trial, ultimately helping to secure his conviction. She was sent to prison years later for the attempted murder of Tom's grandparents. After her release, she was again suspected of trying to kill an elderly couple in order to initiate their newly changed will. A&E interviews Tom and Pat's daughter in this one-hour special.
