Not even accurate - Speck never used a gun!


Just started watching this and maybe ten minutes in and it's already inaccurate. Specks never used a gun at all in this crime because he didn't want the noise. Why not at least try to be accurate when there is no reason to not be? I hate that!

True, he never fired a gun but he most certainly had one with him. It was identified as a Roehm 22 revolver. This is from a book by the prosecutor. It was never admitted into evidence at Speck's trial, because it had been illegally seized by the Chicago police.
