This is an I-Heart podcast.

Malcolm Gladwell here.

This season on Revisionous History, we're going back to the spring of 1988 to a town in northwest Alabama,

where a man committed a crime that would spiral out of control.

And he said, I've been in prison 24, 25 years.

That's probably not long enough.

I didn't kill them.

From Revisionous History, this is The Alabama Murders.

Listen to Revisionous History, the Alabama murders on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts.

My favorite videos on the Internet are funerals where people throw a dove and it's dead.

They need to stop.

So funny.

You imagine your life was cut short because you had to give some weird symbolism to somebody else who died.

Yeah.

And you died during that. Because somebody that didn't know how to hold a bird held you for the first time. Bro. Crushed your little bones and then threw you in the air. Those are the videos that are going to get us got by the machines. A hundred percent. They're going to see that shit and be like, they got it. They got it. Wow, that was just a public execution at a funeral. That animal served a greater system. They're flying around and shit. And you crunched it up and threw it. Or eat him at least. Yeah. You didn't pick it up because you thought it was nasty. You're like, you're better than this.

You just crushed it with your hands.

Yeah, but I don't want to touch it. I don't want to fucking eat that.

That'd be crazy.

Oh, man.

It's a pigeon.

The government growing babies.
