BRAIN SCANS FOR ATHENA'S KILLER, FOOLIO'S HUNTERS ON TRIAL & DAD WHO BURIED HIS KIDS DODGES DEATH

About this episode

The episode discusses three death penalty cases involving Tanner Horner, Julio Foolio's attackers, and a Georgia father who buried his children.

Tanner Horner's defense plays the trauma card in Texas, four men face capital charges for a rapper's birthday ambush, and a Georgia father escapes execution for unspeakable crimes. Garret returns with three death penalty stories pulling the system in different directions. In Texas, Tanner Horner's defense team marches teachers, a former pastor, an ex-girlfriend, and brain scientists past the jury — every lever pulled for the man who admitted murdering seven-year-old Athena Strand. In Florida, opening statements begin in the trial of four men accused of hunting down Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio at his Tampa birthday party. And in Georgia, the father who buried his children in trash bags in the backyard pleads guilty in a deal so disappointing the prosecutor said it himself: this is certainly not justice.
