Summary

On December 14, 1976, Charlie Brooks and an accomplice, Woody Loudres, committed a senseless murder in a motel. Both were convicted of the crime. One of them became the first person to be executed by lethal injection and the other only served 11 years. Why were their sentences so different? We also discuss our roles on the podcast, once again debate the death penalty, and Ashley compares watching Grey’s Anatomy with having a medical degree.
