Already Ben Dead - Benjamin Schreiber

from True Crimecast Hosted by Stove Leg Media

Serving a life sentence for murder in Iowa, prisoner Benjamin Schreiber claimed his term was fulfilled after his heart briefly stopped during a 2015 medical crisis. This episode details Schreiber's bizarre legal argument that his momentary clinical "death" counted as serving the rest of his natural life. We explore the court's rejection of this claim, affirming that since he was revived and is legally alive, his life sentence remains in effect. -- For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
