This is a documentary about the most dangerous and odious gang of serial killers you never heard of. When he was a teenager, Linwood Briley murdered a neighbour, shooting her in the back of the neck. Incredibly, he escaped with a one year sentence as a juvenile when his legal team was somehow about to convince the court it was an accident. Things went downhill from there.
Linwood, his two brothers and an unrelated gang member are believed to have murdered as many as 21 people of both sexes, including a pregnant woman. He and his brother James were the only two sentenced to death, then, unbelievably, they organised a mass breakout from death row, surely the only time in American history this has happened. Fortunately, they were recaptured and sent to the electric chair.
Ignore the commentary and simply marvel at the facts. Not mentioned here is that some sick woman actually married James Briley shortly before he was executed. She is said to have thought he was innocent. Sure he was.
