S2E27 The SUFF of Nightmares PART 1 : William Suff

28 minutes

Today's case is a two-part episode. Thanks to the 70s lax views on sentencing, it allowed a murderer to walk free after serving 14% of his 70-year sentence. Part one we will discuss how this man commits heinous acts of domestic violence. Not only does he abuse his wife for the most trivial reasons, but he also abuses his two young children. Listen to today's episode to hear about the beginning of William Lester Suff's murderous temper.

And tune in next week on Halloween for part 2 of William's choices with his new found freedom.
