About this episode

On August 31st, 1997, Michael Sanders along with a group of supposed bounty hunters forcefully entered a home in Phoenix, Arizona, holding a woman and children at gunpoint and fatally shooting two of the home’s occupants.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this baffling case of what prosecutors eventually called a robbery gone wrong. When the bounty hunters were arrested, the police learned that they were using expired paperwork, and the individual they were after didn’t even live at the house. But as normally happens, members had many differing accounts of what transpired. Who would the jury believe?
