Death of a Demagogue, Pt. 3.5
from Weird Little Guys · host iHeartPodcasts and Cool Zone Media
In 1976, the recently paroled assassin went back to prison after being arrested in Charlottesville. He was acquitted on the charge of being naked in a stranger's living room, but he'd violated his parole. He's tried to stay out of the spotlight ever since. Decades later, his son wrote that he was a changed man. His comments after the 2017 Unite the Right rally say otherwise.Sources:Schmaltz, William H. (2013).
