Lake Placid Bodies - Robert Garrow.

Description

The episode explores the famous 1973 case of serial killer Robert Garrow and the unprecedented ethical firestorm that consumed his defense lawyers. After Garrow confessed to the murder and location of two missing teenage girls, his attorneys secretly found and photographed the bodies but, bound by attorney-client privilege, refused to tell police or the victims' families for six months. Discover how this decision made them social pariahs, forced them to defend their actions in court, and ultimately set the legal standard for a lawyer's duty to a client versus their obligation to humanity. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
