True Crime All The Time

In January 1978, Alfred Brown murdered his mother, father, and sister with a rifle he received as a Christmas gift. After he was arrested, Alfred showed little emotion and didn’t offer much explanation for why he killed his family, only that his parents were “bugging” him about his grades. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders committed by Alfred Brown. After he was caught and charged, it was decided that Brown would be tried as an adult. He admitted his guilt, but his trial centered around his mental health. Like many trials that we talk about, the experts on each side disagreed.
