Episode description

Day 5

In 1950 Joseph Taborsky was sentenced to die in the electric chair. Due to the only witness to his crime being declared insane, he escaped Old Sparky and was released from prison.
He didn't do so well for a man who claimed he would lead a life on the straight and narrow.
Small business owners in Hartford, Connecticut, became terrified for a 10-week period in 1956 when Mad Dog and his new friend Meatball were on a robbery spree, leaving people dead in their wake.
