If this particular episode doesn't get your emotions going, or blood boiling, as they say, then check your pulse. There are several aspects of this 1993 crime that evoke strong opinions, I would think.
One is a father lying and lying about his involvement in having is quadriplegic son murdered, along with his ex-wife and the boy's full-time nurse. The second part of this story is about a book publishing company - Paladin Press, of Boulder, Co. - that publishes books like "Hit Man," which tells you exactly how to murder people and get away with it. That's why this episode is called "Blueprint For Murder."
The killer, almost to a tee, did everything the author said to do in this horrifying book. As I was watching this TV show, I was thinking, "Why doesn't somebody do something about the slime who would publish a book like this?" Sure enough, after the two trials of the perpetrators, the victims families did that. There is some unbelievable facets and ramifications to this case.
If you look at what's in this book, you will be sick to your stomach. It's only intent is to help people murder others. Really. The book's publisher, Peter Lund, went on the witness stand and actually agreed this was true! Does he feel any responsibility? "No," Lund says, matter-of-factly. Does he feel bad about what happened? "No," he answers. He acts extremely smug and uncaring. The man has literally no remorse.
Well, that part of the case goes back-and-forth will editorials in almost every newspaper in the country, arguing about "First Amendment Rights." Be wary when you see that. Usually it means sometime has done something harmful and put a lot of people in harm's way, but Liberal wackos like The New York Times, college professors and the like will scream bloody murder - as some do in this TV show - about censorship and the like. Tell that to the victims. Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, used books from Paladin Publishing, too.
What happens concerning the publisher is interesting, not what either side expects to happen. (He winds up settling out of court when he sees he probably isn't going to prevail in the court.)
Meanwhile, what about the actual killer (James Perry) and the ex-husband? Well, they get what's coming to them. That part IS the name of the show - justice. The name of the father who would have has handicapped kid murdered: Lawrence Horn, a former big executive with Motown Records. He came out luckier than the man he hired to kill three people, another thing that got the victims' families very upset. Yeah, this is a really upsetting case, all the way around.
The last thing we hear on the program is a college professor moaning that First Amendment rights were being violated. The TV narrator's comments make him sound as if he is agreeing. Amazing.
