Devil We Know — True Crime
Devil We Know

Welcome to Devil We Know, an American true crime podcast. I’m your host, Aaron. My team and I work to bring you the truth in real-life horror, in stories that chill the bones in every body. We tell the true crime tales of criminals who live two lives, of the dangerous strangers that have lived two doors down. Together, we crack open the cases of people from the dark side of history. After all, you never truly know what a person’s inner self looks like.

Solitude Feb 29, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Devil We Know, a man commits crimes so heinous that he was sentenced to the death penalty. However, the killer stated that the reason he committed the murders was the large amount of time he spent in the segregation unit prior to his crimes, in addition to a very controversial accusation: he claimed his mental health needs were largely ignored during his incarceration.
