    The Night She Told Him She Was Pregnant - Then She Was Dragged Out

    Blood-red paw prints led straight to a woman in a Queens lobby in the early hours of February 3, 2019, and the building's cameras captured the sequence that would decide a trial. The man convicted said nothing at the time - so who alone claims the world has it wrong, and why does the footage raise more questions than answers?

    In this episode, we walk through the night Jennifer Ynoa Hobson chose to tell her partner she was five months pregnant, the argument that followed behind a closed apartment door, and the hallway scene the security cameras recorded that prosecutors emphasized at trial. What in the order of the wounds and the recorded sequence reframed the case?

    Person: Jennifer Ynoa Hobson
    Date: February 3, 2019
    Location: Queens, New York
    Age: 35
    Other person: Anthony Hobson, 48

    - The small dog left red paw prints that led from the hallway to Jennifer's motionless body.
    - Jennifer was five months pregnant and had sent her twelve-year-old son to a relative that night.
    - Maurice Román, 27, heard screams, opened his door, and saw Jenny being dragged down the stairs.
    - Building security cameras recorded the attack and the prosecution focused on the sequence of wounds shown in the footage.
    - A neighbor heard raised voices and Jenny saying "don't hurt me" and "I want to protect my baby" before Anthony returned from the kitchen with a knife.
