Episode 15: Ed Gingerich | Murder in Amish Country

When we look back at a crime in retrospect it is easy to say that the entire situation could have been avoided. That the brewing storm should have been so obvious for it’s participants to see. However what if I told you the people in this crime knew exactly what was happening, and what could happen but they were unable to do anything about it because of the subculture they belong to? And to make matters worse even years after one of the most brutal domestic crimes in this country’s history the same denial of the group involved would cause yet another death. During this case we will discuss with you the power of societal subcultures, religion, mental illness, ignorance, and forgiveness. Join us in discussing the story of Edward Gingerich the first Amish man in the United States to be tried for murder.
