The Byron David Smith Killings

Sara and Danny cover the chilling case of the Byron David Smith killings, which took place in Thanksgiving 2012 in Little Falls, Minnesota. They talk all about the situation before the killings, and how Smith conducted the killings in the basement of his house. They also breakdown the trial afterward, which centered around "the castle doctrine," and whether Smith acted in self-defense. To end the episode, they play "Not Another Thankful Thanksgiving," where they celebrate Thanksgiving this year by going through the things they are NOT thankful for this year!
