Torn Apart takes an in-depth look at 14 gruesome murder cases and examines how "victim impact statements" used in court finally give a voice to the suffering of those dealing with the death of a partner, child, or loved one. The cases discussed include lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce, who was murdered for £20, a cell phone, and his oyster card; Caroline Dickenson, who was assaulted and murdered in a French youth hostel; and Peter Falconio, a British tourist murdered while backpacking around the Australian outback.
