    11 - Greg Parsons

    Catherine Carroll was not a perfect mother but it didn’t stop her son Gregory Parsons from loving her with his whole heart. However, to hear Catherine tell it, that was the farthest from the truth. As a result of much hearsay, her son would become the prime suspect after her murder. This week, Kylie and Rory go through Greg’s story and his fight for justice.
