Mormon Manson: Ervil's Revenge

This week we are getting into the real story behind the death of Dr. Rulon Allred, as it turns out it was less of a murder…more of an assassination. We’ll touch on some of the many other murders ordered by Ervil LeBaron and talk about the history of ‘blood atonement’ and embezzlement in the churches.
