Part 3: The 1954 Riot at Missouri State Penitentiary and the Murder of Walter Lee Donnell

Episode Summary

Part 3 of 3: This was "the" riot at Missouri State Penitentiary, not because it was the only one, but because it was the most memorable, the best documented, the most impactful, and yes, the biggest. As this episode is launched on the 70th anniversary of that incident, SMM host Michael Lear looks back at all those involved, and at the one of the greatest mysteries of that night, and of MSP: who really killed Walter Lee Donnell?
