Ep. 12 - Death Row Double Murder

Do we, as humans, have the right to decide who lives and who dies? I'm not here to tell you one way or another. However, plenty of the facts heavily point toward the negative.

No matter your stance on the subject, today's story is certifiably insane!! What happens when you put a lifer in the same jail cell as a young malleable teenager? Without too many spoilers, let's just say two wrongs don't make a right. Between a "supportive" girlfriend, a thief with nothing to lose, double homicide, and a prison escape, this story has it all! Today I bring you the death row case of Michael Tisius and Roy Vance.

Let's mourn.
