About this listen

Between September and December 2022, a murder-for-hire conspiracy in Mobile, Alabama produced one of the most spectacular criminal failures in recent memory. John McCarroll recruited shooters, provided illegal weapons including machineguns, and directed attack after attack against his target: Milton Carter.

The result? Two innocent people murdered. One permanently paralyzed. Six others wounded. Nine victims who had nothing to do with McCarroll's vendetta.

Milton Carter? Never got a scratch.

Even more damning: the defendants documented their own crimes on Instagram and Facebook—bragging about shootings, mocking failed attempts, and continuing to obstruct justice on recorded jail phone lines.
