A Killers Far-Fetched Motive - November 20 2022 Nov 20, 2022

Show notes

November 20th: Salvatore Perrone Arrested (2012)
Sometimes a criminal's motive seems so far-fetched it's hard to know if they are telling the truth or trying to get off easier. On November 20th 2012 a man was arrested for the murder of 3 colleagues in a crime that, according to him, he was hired to complete by a foreign agency. A motive that, for some, proved him to lack the competency to stand trial and, for others, was simply a cold-blooded lie to try and sway a jury.
