Episode Details

In this Florida Man Friday episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, I tell you about the case of Julie Ann Sulpizio and her family in Eustis, Florida. What began as a disturbance call quickly escalated into a deadly standoff with law enforcement. Julie had a plan to lure her neighbors into her home for her family to murder them. The Sulpizio family's isolation and anti-government beliefs had been intensifying for years, culminating in a tragic night of violence and death. 

After listening to this episode, let me know if you believe mental health should play a larger role in determining criminal responsibility in cases like this?
