Summary

This week we discuss Andrew Goldstein, who had been hospitalized countless times, and assaulted many people, but was still desperately trying to get mental health treatment for many years. Tragically, he was on a wait list for a long term facility, when he murdered Kendra Webdale, but the case did lead to increased funding & change in legislation.
