78: The Man Who Scared a Woman to Death

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) On the morning of September 26, 2008, Larry Whitfield and Quanterrious McCoy—armed with a .357 handgun and an AK–47 assault rifle—entered the front door of the Fort Financial Credit Union in Gastonia, North Carolina. Only one of these would-be bank robbers would be sentenced to life in prison for it. Reb teaches you how not to rob a bank (but if you do, ask if any bystanders have high blood pressure). This is United States v. Whitfield (2015). *** REPORT: FELONY MURDER—An On-Ramp for Extreme Sentencing (updated May 2024): ⁠https://www.sentencingproject.org/app/uploads/2024/05/Felony-Murder-An-On-Ramp-for-Extreme-Sentencing.pdf⁠ *** THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
