Show Notes

Peter Spencer was 29 when he went camping in Venango County with a group of white men in December. The next morning, Spencer, who was Black, was found dead in the lawn with nine bullets in his back and front. And while news reports have said that the person who killed Spencer admitted to it, no charges have been filed. 

Lead producer Matt Stroud is with longtime Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Tony Norman about the case and where it might go in coming weeks.
