How much would you pay for a Reese's Pieces package, half-eaten by Charles Manson during a prison visit in 2002? What about Ed Gein's scalpel? Do you have a spot on your wall where you would hang a painting of Pogo the Clown by John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown himself? We hope that by the end of this disturbing episode your answer will be a resounding, “No thank you – my collection of Beanie Babies will suffice.” In this episode, we discuss Andy Kahan and his quest to stop killers from profiting from their hideous acts of violence and resulting notoriety. We go over which killers are the top sellers and why, as well as why Son of Sam Laws haven’t historically held up in the Supreme Court. Side note: In this episode, Molly refers to Sharon Tate as Manson’s “main victim,” when she meant that she was his most famous and talked-about victim. We don't want to diminish the murders of Voytek Frykowski, Steven Parent, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Steve Parent, Gary Hinman, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.
