Summary

Scott Amendure thought the Jenny Jones Show would be the perfect place to reveal to his friend, Jonathan Schmitz, that he had a crush on him. Three days later, Schmitz shot Amendure to death, but was it mental illness or homophobia that led Schmitz to kill his friend? And was he the only one responsible? This week’s Court TV Podcast takes a closer look at this high-profile case with an episode of the original series Judgment with Ashleigh Banfield. This is Judgment of Jonathan Schmitz.
