Edward Gingerich was a troubled man.  He suffered from several mental illnesses that were beyond his Amish community's ability to treat.  He slowly spiraled out of control until he earned the dubious distinction as the first Amish murderer in history.  This is a story of illness, greed, bad influences, murder, and attempted redemption.   SHOW NOTES https://medium.com/@nikyoung/the-first-amish-man-convicted-of-murder-edward-gingerich-7550e7333748 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish https://gambonelaw.com/library/why-mental-illness-isnt-a-complete-defense-in-pennsylvania/ https://buffalonews.com/news/a-rage-out-of-time-with-an-amish-housewifes-murder-20th-century-crime-jolts-a/article_7ab7c81e-fa86-562b-9bf7-d679ddfd57ee.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Gingerich Support the showSupport by joining KMH+ and by checking out our merch shop!
