Summary

This week we're jumping into a brand new series about families gone wrong. Not only is the series new, but we're doing something new by revisiting an old story. In episode 46, we discussed the Mecklenburg 6's escape from death row. Today, we're telling you the story of how two of them earned their spot in the prison. No one really knows what went wrong to make the three Briley brothers so violent, but they left behind 11 victims and 9 more injured.

1:38.9

extinguisher. So what we're going to do is we're going to circle back to this story. And instead of telling you the prison break aspect, we're going to tell you how they got in there.
