The La Trobe University Shooting

3 August 1999

His hand trembled as he wrote, his sweaty fingers wrangling the pen as the words poured from his mind and became scrawl on the paper.

‘I tried every legal way possible to find justice for being wronged, this is a warning to employers, politicians, and corrupt men of authority. The little guy is getting tired of being used and shit upon with no avenue for fair play.'

‘Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war...’

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the case of the La Trobe University Shooting, resulting in the tragic death of Eagle Bar Manager, Leon Capraro, at the hands of Jonathan Brett Horrocks.
