About this episode
This episode discusses the murder of Charles Locke and the implications of the gay panic defense in relation to another murder case in Oklahoma.
In May of 2019, the body of Charles Locke was found wrapped in a tarp near a dead-end road in Pensacola, Florida. Items left near the body led investigators right to someone close to the victim.
