About this listen

For the next few weeks "Murder Weekly" will be playing select episodes from our sister show "Celebrity Trials". These shows however will feature only the cases involvoing murder! If you enjoy these shows, please check out "Celebrity Trials".

Reid Carter examines 160 years of American political assassinations, from John Wilkes Booth shooting Lincoln in 1865 to this week's murder of Charlie Kirk. Four presidents, countless political figures, and one consistent pattern: grievance plus gun equals murder. Lincoln died for winning a war. Garfield for getting a job. McKinley for empire. JFK for being JFK. Martin Luther King for having a dream. Bobby Kennedy for having a last name. And now Charlie Kirk for speaking at colleges. Saturday's special proves America has always settled political differences with bullets, and we're getting better at it.
