What happens

Twisted Desire is a 1996 American crime thriller television film directed by Craig R. Baxley and written by twin brothers Carey and Chad Hayes. It stars Melissa Joan Hart, with real-life domestic partners Daniel Baldwin and Isabella Hofmann. The movie also stars Meadow Sisto, David Lascher, Eric Laneuville, Kurt Fuller, and R&B/pop singer Jeremy Jordan, with Collin Wilcox Paxton in a supporting role. It aired on May 13, 1996, on NBC. The film is presented as based on real events: the 1990 double murder of James Baxter "J.B." and Katherine "Kathy" Wiseman in Hartfield, Virginia, committed by their 14-year-old daughter Jessica Lynn Wiseman and her 17-year-old boyfriend, Douglas Christopher Thomas. Thomas was executed in 2000, when the death penalty for juveniles was still a legal punishment, while Wiseman was tried as a juvenile and sentenced to six years in prison, from which she was released at age 21.
