Carrol County CourtHouse shootout
from truck stop murder and true crime's podcast · host Gary Howard
Floyd Allen (July 5, 1856 – March 28, 1913) was an American landowner and patriarch of the Allen clan of Carroll County, Virginia. He was convicted and executed for murder in 1913 after a sensational courthouse shootout the previous year that left a judge, prosecutor, sheriff, and two others dead, although the validity of the conviction has been a source of debate within Carroll County for decades Allen, who was before the bar for sentencing after being convicted of taking a prisoner from a deputy sheriff, allegedly triggered the shooting at the Carroll County Courthouse in Hillsville on March 14, 1912.https://www.facebook.com/groups/truckstopmrdrandtruecrimehttps://www.instagram.com/truckstopmurder/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXs4CjSF4xKCTmynFsKwSghttps://www.patreon.com/[email protected]/[email protected]://www.facebook.com/missing.miles.2023https://truecrimepodcastfestival.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truck-stop-murder-and-true-crime-s-podcast--5972464/support.
