Episode 3-3 --- Political Prisoner or Murderer ?
The 1957 Murder of Two North Carolina Highway Patrolmen. Is the killer, Frank Wetzel a cold-blooded killer or a political prisoner?
Some say the most notorious prisoner in North Carolina history was silvery-haired, sparkly-eyed Frank Edward Wetzel, inmate No. 11021-OS, serving two consecutive life terms at the Vance Correctional Center.
The state said he’s a calculating killer who gunned down two young highway patrolmen one “sad, bad night” back in 1957.
Supporters called him a “political prisoner,” denied fair treatment and any hope of release by vote-counting officeholders.
Justice or Politics, listen and decide for yourself.
