He had once worked in security himself, trained to understand exactly how armored car routes operated, and exactly when a driver would be most vulnerable. On November 28th, 1994, he used that knowledge to plan an execution outside a Phoenix-area mall.
When Wells Fargo driver John Magoch stepped out of his van for a cigarette, a coordinated team was already in position, waiting. What followed was a carefully planned heist that netted hundreds of thousands of dollars — and a case that would eventually reshape how the death penalty is decided in courtrooms across America.
This episode traces the Arrowhead Mall heist, the spending habits that gave the killers away, and the Supreme Court case their conviction ultimately produced.
