Insanity Defense: Andrew Goldstein

This week we discuss Andrew Goldstein, who had been hospitalized countless times, and assaulted many people, but was still desperately trying to get mental health treatment for many years. Tragically, he was on a wait list for a long term facility, when he murdered Kendra Webdale, but the case did lead to increased funding & change in legislation.   To support Murder Dictionary & get access to rewards, perks, & merch, please visit our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MurderDictionaryPodcast If you’d like shirts, mugs, phone cases, & other merch, you can shop at https://murderdictionary.threadless.com/  This episode has been edited by Dimitris Kokkos.
