E26 - Murder and the First Amendment

Subpar Talks

In 1983, a single mother in Florida wrote a how-to-murder book titled, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. A decade later, a man used this book for instructions on committing a triple murder. Can the families of the deceased hold the publisher liable, or is the publisher protected by the First Amendment? It’s a fascinating case that gets crazier with a twist at the end!
