Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend.

Sitting in the audience during the vigilante's trial was Harper Lee, with the idea of writing her own "In Cold Blood", the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research 17 years earlier.
