About this episode
In the early morning hours of February 26, 2022, a heavily armed intruder used construction scaffolding to breach a massive, secluded estate outside Richmond, Kentucky. The home belonged to former state representative C. Wesley Morgan, but the gunman wasn't there for politics or money. He was there for the multi-million-dollar underground survival bunker built beneath the property.
With the verdict officially handed down in May 2026, we break down the complex reality of a jury finding a killer "guilty—but mentally ill," proving that a defendant can be consumed by delusions and still be held legally responsible for murder.
