Tausha Fields Morton’s story, as featured on Snapped: Behind Bars, presents a dramatic and contentious narrative about the murder of her ex-husband Mitch Kemp. Morton maintains her innocence and blames her then-husband Greg Morton for the crime, claiming he acted out of jealousy and premeditation. The case involved complex legal and personal issues, including Morton’s allegations of manipulation and her claims that the justice system failed her.
In the episode, Morton speaks about her experiences and the conviction that led to her life sentence, asserting that Greg Morton, who has already confessed to the crime and was sentenced to 19 years in prison, was the true perpetrator. She argues that her current incarceration is a result of his actions and the system’s shortcomings, rather than her own guilt.
The episode provides a platform for Morton to voice her side of the story after years of silence, aiming to shift the narrative and draw attention to what she believes is a miscarriage of justice.
