Fan Mail
hi I love your show, I’m just an amateur interested person who has been reading about MOVE for a couple years now. I heard you mention something in the new episode that I have tried and failed to look up a few times which is what on earth happened at the 1981 trial?? It seems to be a very important event that has been little reported on. How did the seemingly very heavy charges just go away? JA wouldn’t have been the first cult leader to have worked with the feds. I always just thought it was a super weird gap… thanks again for your work
