# The True Crime Defense You've Never Heard Of | Indefensible with Jena Friedman \[Full Episode\]

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Jena Friedman.

Jena Friedman tackles a horrifying anti-LGBTQ crime in Chicago and the even more horrifying legal defense that followed: The Gay Panic Defense.

In the early 2000s, two strangers met at a Barrington, Illinois bar, but their evening ends with a gruesome death. Police think they know who's to blame, but questions of motive leave them stumped. Could a victim's sexual orientation truly trigger a temporary state of "panic" that justifies a violent crime? Is this self-defense, or is America just legalizing hate?

This episode aired in 2021 as part of True Crime Story: Indefensible on AMC+, hosted and directed by Jena Friedman.
