In April 1985, a man named Ronnie Lee Gardner who was facing numerous felony charges and the possibility of a death sentence was meeting his lawyers downtown Salt Lake City at the Metropolitan Hall of Justice. Having escaped prison before, another opportunity for breakout presented itself. As Ronnie was led into the courthouse that morning, shackled at the waist, a female friend approached him and handed him a loaded revolver.Music Credits:Steve O'Connell - Doom and Gloomhttps://www.freesoundtrackmusic.comMidnight North - Take me to the DepthsJosh Lippi & the Overtimers - Fresno AlleyAfter the Fallhttp://www.purple-planet.comJosh Lippi & the Overtimers - St. FrancisKai Engel - EvermoreKai Engel - Oecumene SleepsWes Hutchinson - One Down DogKai Engel - Something The Whole Other - Beyond the LowsSteve O'Connell - Empty Insidehttps://www.freesoundtrackmusic.comAll music is used under an Attribution License - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/Music provided by George Cattapan - http://www.cattapanproductions.com/The Funkoars – Feel The MadnessUsed with Permission - http://goldenerarecords.com.au/ge/funkoars/Special thanks to the Researcher & Writer of this episode Stephen B.
