In 1995, two men filmed an episode of the daytime talk show, The
Jenny Jones Show. A few days later, one of the men was dead. The
shooter later claimed he’d committed the murder “in a panic that he
was being falsely accused or identified as a gay person.” We speak
with Cynthia Lee, Carsten Andresen, and Paul Howard about so-called
“gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses, and we discuss the murders
of Scott Amedure, Islan Nettles, Larry King, Ahmed Dabarran, and
Matthew Shepard. Thanks to Thomas Curry, who helped co-produce this
