In 2008, Ronald Wright murdered a 70-year-old war veteran while experiencing the psychotic effects of meth. Although Ronald, now sober, is horrified by his past actions, his defense that he was not in his right state of mind fell on deaf ears. As we’re about to hear, all information about drug-induced psychosis was excluded from Ronald’s trials, and news articles at the time painted him as a vicious monster who deserved to be locked away for a long time. Now, you’re about to hear the full story of Ronald’s crime, a version that the jury members were not allowed to hear in 2008. What was running through Ronald’s mind as he started up his old truck that day? Why did Ronald knock on a stranger’s door in a quiet Missouri suburb? Join us to hear Ronald’s recollections of his life and crime on this week’s episode of Voices of a Killer.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>More information about this case:</strong></p><ul><li>Appeal Decision Document | <a href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/missouri/court-of-appeals/2012/ed97219.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. Ronald Wright, Appellant</a> | Justia US Law&nbsp;</li><li>Article about Ronald’s Sentencing | <a href=\"https://dailyjournalonline.com/2011/07/20/judge-sentences-wright-to-life-without-parole/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Judge sentences Wright to life without parole</a> | Daily Journal&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Access exclusive unseen and unheard material via our Patreon:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"http://www.patreon.com/voicesofakiller\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.patreon.com/voicesofakiller</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>If you enjoyed this episode then please either:</strong></p><ul><li>Follow, rate, and review on <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/voices-of-a-killer/id1688069851\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts</a></li><li>Follow and rate on <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/2zx7kg4yUdZRk2DPxwQpP6?si=178b5b2535c64a0c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a></li><li>Watch our videos on the Voices of a Killer <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@VoicesofaKiller\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube Channel!</a></li><li>Connect with us on <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/killerpod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/killer_podcast_/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/VoicesofaKiller\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a>!</li><li>Listen to more episodes via the <a href=\"http://www.voicesofakiller.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Voices of a Killer Website</a>!</li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"DeNovo Enterprises, Sonic Futures"}
