On November 17th, 1950 Ernest Ingenito shot nine of his wife’s family members in a murderous rampage. Five of them died. When Ernest went to trial his defense argued that after years of tensions with his in-laws and a custody battle, he snapped. The prosecution believed he spent weeks planning the murders in a cold and calculated manner. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders committed by Ernest Ingenito. He acquired guns in the months leading up to the killings and purchased ammo. He made comments to people that later seemed like harbingers of bad things to come. But, in court, the defense tried to paint Ernest as a man who snapped over the conflicts with his wife and the custody battle for his kids. Did the evidence support that? Ingenito killed members of his wife's family in three different houses. Two were across the street from each other but one he had to get into this car to get to. Would Ernest spend die in prison or would he be let out to commit other crimes?
