When Navy JAG officer Nicholas Kassotis went on trial for the brutal murder and dismemberment of his wife, the courtroom expected a defense grounded in law. Instead, jurors were told a story that belonged in a screenplay. Kassotis claimed an FBI agent—one who never existed—had been investigating mysterious vandals and secret threats against the couple. Kassotis even took the stand insisting this phantom agent shaped his life and career. Prosecutors countered with chilling evidence of premeditation, including a shovel, knives, and cleaning supplies bought before his wife’s murder. In the end, jurors had to decide: was this the desperate delusion of a guilty man, or the truth of a husband facing forces no one else could see?
