Summary

A Wells Fargo driver is executed in his own van during a 1994 armored car heist in Arizona, and the case that follows exposes greedy insiders, a betrayal that cracks the conspiracy wide open, and a Supreme Court ruling that permanently changes how America decides who lives and who dies. Timothy Ring orchestrated the killing for cash, only to have his own crime become the vehicle for a landmark constitutional protection for capital defendants nationwide. A gripping true crime deep dive into murder, money, and the fragile machinery of American justice.
