Show Notes:
1. This episode was partly inspired by Columbo and other cozy or formulaic murder mysteries, in which the culprit usually offers no resistance once the detective announces the final piece of evidence that proves they did it.

2. Public defenders were not provided across the country until Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963, but there were cities, counties and states that provided them as early as 1913.

3. My grandfather threatened to leave only one dollar in his will to any of his children who smoked, according to my dad. It worked! None of his kids smoked.

4. Pete Larsen came up with the names Patch Work and Pat Schwerk. Thanks, Pete!
