Show notes

On September 29, 1986 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cotton Kelly aka James Thiede was gunned down by 18-year-old Troy Kell and 17-year-old Billy Merritt, when asked by 15-year-old Sandy Shaw to rough him up. Kell would go on to murder Lonnie Blackmon in prison, and the security camera footage of the incident went on to form the basis of the film ‘Gladiator Days: Anatomy of a Prison Murder.’

Conversation with author Robert Rand - The Menendez Murders (live stream audio) Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

August 20th marked the 31st anniversary of the murders of businessman Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty in Beverly Hills, California, and Emmy Award winning reporter Robert Rand joined me on my live stream, to give us an inside look at his 31 years covering the case.
He culminated his decades of work into the Menendez Murders: The Shocking Untold Story of the Menendez Family and the Killings That Stunned the Nation, his 2018 novel which was the primary source for Law and Order: True Crime: The Menendez Murders, an 8 part miniseries which aired on NBC in 2017. You can also find him on ABC 20/20’s “Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers” and Dateline NBC’s “Unthinkable: The Menendez Murders,” as well as ‘How It Really Happened’ with Hill Harper on HLN.
Since this is livestream audio, there is a delay in the audio so there are a few instances where I appear to speak over my guest. So I apologize in advance, and I hope you enjoy the interesting information Robert shares with us after knowing and reporting on the brothers for over 30 years.

Show notes

On July 16, 2003, 14-year-old Evan Miller and his 16-year-old friend Colby Smith beat 52-year-old father of three Cole Cannon in his home, before attempting to cover their tracks with fire.
His case would end up at the Supreme Court, along with those of Kuntrell Jackson, and later Henry Montgomery, all leading to landmark decisions, with Terence Graham having helped paved their way.
Supreme Court decisions in Jackson v. Hobbs (2012), Graham v. Florida (2010), and Montgomery v. Louisiana (2016) are also discussed.
