Danny Calahane was at home with his young daughter when two men showed up with screwdrivers aiming to do Danny harm. Danny fought back against the intruders, chasing them from his home while protecting his daughter.  The intruders came back, this time with sulfuric acid, attacking Danny and covering his body in the acid. As the two men fled the scene, police and paramedics were called. Danny Calahane was suffering from a pain that cannot be easily explained. Transporting the injured man to the hospital Danny was given morphine, enough to give him some relief, and in those brief moments Danny described his attackers. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack breakdown the story behind the headline. What was the attack all about? Who was behind the attack? What kind of injuries did Danny Calahane suffer? How is it possible that Danny lived for 10 weeks in the hospital with around the clock care and still died from the injuries he suffered in the acid attack. And WHY was Danny's Ex-Wife found Guilty of his MURDER!
