The more that comes out, the harder it becomes to believe this was random. And the more chilling the question becomes. Was Dr. Michael McKee seething for a decade? In a moment that felt inevitable to some and shocking to others, Dr. Michael McKee was marched into court in chains as prosecutors upgraded the charges against him in the murders of Ohio dentist Spencer Tepe and his wife, Monique Tepe. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the courtroom moment, the upgraded aggravated murder charges, and what prosecutors now believe about how this double murder unfolded. We also dig into what those charges mean in Ohio, including the very real possibility of the death penalty. Joining Banfield is Angenette Levy, host of “Crime Fix” on Law and Crime and an Ohio native who has been closely following this case from the beginning.
