Matthew Farwell was found guilty of killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child, and on Hidden Killers Live, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I take on the question that verdict leaves behind: how does a man like this go on with his life?

Sandra met Farwell as a kid in the Stoughton police youth program, and prosecutors said their relationship began when she was fifteen. Years later, she was pregnant and telling people the baby was his. According to the FBI affidavit, Farwell's wife gave birth to their third child roughly 13 hours after he left Sandra's apartment.

Shavaun lays out what he likely tells himself, how a man can be loving at home and do something like this to another woman, and why some men care more about looking decent than being decent. We talk about what happens to a cop who keeps getting away with it, and the signs that separate real remorse from regret over getting caught.

His jurors said they were deadlocked, kept deliberating, and returned guilty verdicts on both counts the next day. Farwell faces a mandatory life term at sentencing in February.
