S2E5 Carthage Conspiracy Part 1

In response to several recent emails, we discuss several conspiracy theories about the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. We dissect a video that claims to have "new evidence about what really happened at Carthage” and use some of the movie's claims as jumping-off points for larger discussions around amateur research and tactics used by antagonists of the Church. Below is a link to a Salt Lake Tribune article that we read in the episode. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2022/01/21/jana-riess-who-killed/ While the accusations being made are serious the video and research are “amateur hour” (to quote the Salt Lake Tribune article).
