S2 Ep09: “Dr. Carl Weiss Sr.: Assassin or Not?”

In this episode, I will be speaking with the three grandchildren of Dr. Carl Weiss Sr. Weiss was accused of shooting the powerful and controversial Senator Huey Long from Louisiana at the State Capital building in Baton Rouge on September 8, 1935. Weiss was immediately killed by sixty one bullets fired by Long's bodyguards and Senator Long died two days later of his wounds. Our guests will share the story of how their family dealt with the fallout of this tragedy and how their father, great-uncle and a forensic specialist uncovered evidence, which they believe vindicates their grandfather and the Weiss family name.
