Sword And ScaleSeason 1Sword and Scale Episode 28
Everyone thought Joshua Gouker was a dangerous criminal. It was easy to convict him of murdering his 15-year-old step son Trey Zwicker, especially after he suddenly changed his plea to guilty and confessed. But why would a hardened criminal mastermind, who had several friends and family members lying at his command, suddenly confess at trial without a plea bargain in place? The answer is that his son, who he proudly referred to as a demon child was also on trial for the same murder and was being tried as an adult. This story gives new meaning to the words "like father, like son."
