On November 24, 1963, two days after the killing of President Kennedy, a troubled nightclub owner named Jack Ruby quietly slipped into the Dallas police station and assassinated the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. The bizarre trial that followed stretched Ruby's defense to their limits; how exactly does one defend a man who was seen pulling the trigger in front of millions on live television? Guest: David Fisher, co-author of "Kennedy's Avenger: Assassination, Conspiracy, and the Forgotten Trial of Jack Ruby"
