In early 1933, a group of men dubbed the “Murder Trust” conspired to kill Irishman Mike Malloy, who proved very difficult to kill. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli discuss the aftermath when they were finally able to kill Mike after 9 attempts, including whether they were ever brought to justice for the murder of Iron Mike.
The video will be available at noon Eastern on the day of release.
