HBO's Alabama Snake Trailer Explores Murder By Rattlesnake

"I loved him, but I was afraid of him."

"Scottsboro Police say this five-foot-long poisonous rattlesnake was used as a weapon."

"The prosecution painted Glenn Summerford as a brutal, jealous husband."

The new HBO true-crime documentary Alabama Snake explores the story of a snake-handling preacher who was convicted of attempting to murder his wife with the venom of his deadly pets. 

Alabamba Snake premieres December 9 on HBO.
