Episode 3-3 --- Political Prisoner or Murderer ?

from The Felon File · host Scott Lunsford

Episode 3-3   --- Political Prisoner or Murderer ? The 1957 Murder of Two North Carolina Highway Patrolmen. Is the killer, Frank Wetzel a cold-blooded killer or a political prisoner? Some say the most notorious prisoner in North Carolina history was silvery-haired, sparkly-eyed Frank Edward Wetzel, inmate No. 11021-OS, serving two consecutive life terms at the Vance Correctional Center. The state said he’s a calculating killer who gunned down two young highway patrolmen one “sad, bad night” back in 1957. Supporters called him a “political prisoner,” denied fair treatment and any hope of release by vote-counting officeholders. Justice or Politics, listen and decide for yourself.
