Many know Joel Schwartz as the criminal defense lawyer who defended Russ Faria during both his murder trials for the death of his wife, but there is much more beneath the man portrayed in the NBC series The Thing About Pam.
The NBC limited series—based on real-life crimes committed by the victim's best friend, Pam Hupp—has been fictionalized to make good TV. The Thing About Pam is based on the real-life crimes committed by a woman named Pam Hupp.
She was sentenced to life without parole in August 2019. In a phone call to her then-husband, Hupp claimed that she had pleaded guilty so her family would not have to "witness an ugly trial". Hupp is serving her sentence at the Chillicothe Correctional Center.

Does Russ Faria speak to Betsy Faria's family? It was also revealed in the finale that Russ still doesn't speak to Betsy's daughters, Leah and Mariah Day (his stepdaughters), despite his exoneration. Sadly, this is true, too.
One of the other major players in how the case turned out is attorney Joel Schwartz, who is played on the show by Josh Duhamel. Joel's defense of Betsy's husband, Russ Faria (Glenn Fleshler), when he is accused of murdering her changes the entire dynamic of the case.
Where Is Leah Today? Today, Askey works at her own private law firm called Chaney Law Group. While the world is captivated by her portrayal in The Thing About Pam, it sounds like Askey is focusing on distancing herself from the case that she would rather forget.
