John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monster

Based on the best-selling true-crime book by Sam Amirante and Danny Broderick.

"Sam, could you do me a favor?" A seemingly simple request sparks the story that has now become part of America’s true crime hall of fame - the journey of a young lawyer, fresh from the Public Defender’s Office, whose first client in private practice turns out to be the most evil serial killer in our nation's history.
