After the chilling revelations of Episode 156’s “Killing Krew Klan,” the question remained: how would the justice system respond?
What consequences did these young trophy hunters face, and did the punishment fit the crime? In this episode, Investigator Patrick Kiely returns to walk us through the penalty phase of the case. Join us as we uncover the final chapter in one of Connecticut’s most disturbing wildlife crimes.

Here’s what we discuss:
· Convictions for wildlife crime aren’t always a slam dunk
· The prosecutor in the case was an outdoorsman
· Original roadside stop netted only a suspended sentence
· Paring down up to 30 charges: what will stick?
· Group pled guilty to jacklighting
· $500 fines and three years’ probation
· Banned from hunting for ten years
· Conspiracy to sell wildlife and a probation violation
· Getting support from judges and prosecutors
· “Any time you serve a warrant … you’re opening a Pandora’s Box.”
