Judge, Jury, Executioner: The Bobby Kent "Bully" Case
About this episode
The episode explores the complex murder case of Bobby Kent and the dynamics of his relationships leading up to his death.
In July 1993, 20-year-old Bobby Kent believed he was meeting his ex-girlfriend for a second chance. Instead, he was driven to a secluded rock pit in western Broward County, Florida, where seven young people were waiting. Among them was Bobby's best friend of fourteen years, Marty Puccio. The murder of Bobby Kent would inspire books, documentaries, and the 2001 film Bully, but the real story is far more complicated than Hollywood could ever portray. Was Bobby truly the violent bully so many described after his death? Were some of the allegations against him impossible to verify? Was Marty Puccio a victim trapped in an abusive friendship, or did he become something far more dangerous?
