This murder happened only miles from where I live and both men did state they fought in the house for hours and never knew the wife and children were in the house. Of course they did, forensics showed the husband killed her and the friend was there.The house is not really big and you would have seen Janet Myers lying in the living room almost as soon as you entered the home. Very bizarre case, but it is true and happened in a west bank suburb of New Orleans. Every time I go by this house it reminds me of the tragic ending of a young mother and how her children lost her and their father(since he is in prison with no chance of parole.) The friend will be eligible for parole soon.
Another TVM dealing with murder ! Hey perhaps if someone in America gets to grips with crime the murder rate will fall we won`t have to put up with crap small screen movies like this . Why`s it so crap ? Okay here goes...
The idea is relatively good ( Though I`m somewhat dubious as to how true this " Based on a true story is " ) What`s happened is a woman has been murdered and the husband and her lover both blame one another for it , so who`s lying who`s telling the truth ? The problem is it`s so badly written , directed and acted that you`ll find yourself asking why anyone involved in this poor production escaped prosecution for crimes against TV viewers . Scriptwriter Philip Rosenberg wastes his time with character flashbacks instead of filling in the numerous plot holes which will have you asking " Wait a darn minute, how`d the prosecution come to that conclusion ? " Mind you the defence attornay is played by an actor called Alex Courtney who I`ve never heard of who gives one of the most bizarre performances I`ve ever seen. Imagine Tommy Lee Jones pretending he`s a camp drag queen and you`ve got the idea . No wonder the wooden D.A seems to get so many lucky breaks . And all this is directed in a completely static way by Waris Hussein whose major claim to fame is that he directed the very first DOCTOR WHO story . The camera work there was also very static but that was way back in 1963 and Hussein managed to get good performances out of the cast on his WHO debut so what went wrong here ?
Perhaps the worst criticism I can give MURDER BETWEEN FRIENDS is the fact that later on the same day I also watched A BEAUTIFUL MIND and THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS and could still recall how bad this film was

I think this is one of the best T.V. movies I have ever seen. Martin Kemp is wonderful in this film, he is so handsome and his acting is great. My question is why has Martin Kemp never been chosen to play James Bond he would be perfect in this role he is so sexy. I love Murder Between Friend's.
I read this book many years ago, and was wondering whatever happened to the young boy who was severely injured? Who raised the two children of Kerry and Janet, and how are they today? Do they have a relationship with their dad? Has anyone ever come clean about the true details to this crime? How did the parents of the beautiful Janet fare after her murder? Are her parents still alive? Whatever happened to Bill's wife and son?
I know this happened back in the 1980's; I was in my 20's and living on the East Coast when this occurred. I remember seeing the two men appear on an episode of Maury (Povich) after Kerry and Bill were arrested and I had written to the show for a copy of the transcripts, but never received a response. In any event, the book was well written and I would love to see the movie if it is available on DVD. It's an absolutely fascinating case and one that remained with me for all these years due to the twists and turns and the characters in this horrific murder.

i am in the tenth grade at Barbe high school and i met Kerry myers today. we took a class trip to Angola, and he was one of our speakers. he said he was a trustee there, meaning that he hasn't broken any "laws" or rules that they have there at the jail and hasn't been in trouble since he was arrested. he seemed incredibly intelligent, and mentioned that he had a masters in mass communication. at the end of his speaking, he allowed questions, and when someone asked "what are you in for?" and he answered "second degree murder", i was shocked. he seemed very nice and even made a few jokes. i never would have guessed if he hadn't have told us. i got off the bus from Angola about 2 hours ago, and immediately went to Google to find out more, and realized there was an entire movie based on this man that spoke to us. if anyone knows more and might be able to tell me where i can watch this movie, please let me know.
