Summary
This week, When Alvin Ridley’s wife was discovered dead in her home, residents of the small town of Ringgold, GA assumed the recluse, hoarder, and odd figure naturally murdered her. Idealistic young defense attorney McCracken Poston Jr., still stinging from a failed congressional run, had already encountered the eccentric Ridley–dubbed “Zenith Man” for his work repairing televisions-and took the case. McCracken joins TCT today to regales his tales of Alvin, the case, and their journey together in trying to acquit him of the charges, and why Alvin was so completely misunderstood... the answer will ASTOUND YOU!

| 0:35.2 | I want you to imagine something for a moment. I want you to think about the people |
