Why would a respected doctor and former state representative fatally shoot a man who was also respected; a banker, landowner, and one-time friend, in the broad daylight on the main street of town in front of witnesses? This is the question Michael sought to answer in the case of J.D. Todd shooting R.T. Wall in Richards, Missouri in 1904.
As someone who works in the Missouri State Capitol and guides tours of the historic Missouri State Penitentiary, host Michael Lear takes a special fascination with those who were state representatives or senators and served sentences at MSP. Dr. Joseph Davis Todd is one such person.
