THE MURDER-FOR-HIRE THAT REWROTE THE LIMITS OF FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA
Season 1
Episode 227
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
A father's desperate need for inheritance money led him to hire a self-styled minister turned convicted felon to murder his ex-wife and quadriplegic son, using a mail order manual as a literal blueprint for the killings. Investigators unraveled the plot through phone records, a staged alibi tape, and a Western Union payment traced to a dead man's stolen identity. The case ultimately reshaped free speech law when a federal appeals court found the publisher of that manual could be held liable for aiding murder.
