Sword and Scale Episode 15




Sword and Scale show

Summary: A deliberate murder that took 8 years of planning and plenty of hard work to accomplish. It involved a man, his truck, and an underground bunker in the Washington mountains. Peter Keller was described as a survivalist with a distrust of authority by his family and friends, but none of them had any idea he would ever resort to what he did. Now they’re left wondering how they could have missed the clues and whether there was anything they could have done to prevent the murder of his wife and daughter. We’ll also cover the castle doctrine case of Byron David Smith, in which all of the condemning audio was recorded by the home owner’s own security system. Even if you strongly feel in the second amendment and the right for homeowners to protect themselves and their property, you’ll find this particular case absolutely chilling. The pure evil in Smith’s voice is nakedly obvious on tape, stirring memories of Norman Bates in Psycho.
