The Docket 05.02.24: Lives Of Crime

the true crime that's worth your time

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, who died at 45, is one of the “famous/criminal” obit exemplars we’re discussing.

When a major-case figure dies, what should that headline look like? What if that figure is or was known “mostly for” something else — an athlete or pop musician? Has anything changed in the last few decades, in the way “celebrity-crime” obits get written, or in how we think of them? Arbuckle, Blake, Bryant, Polanski, shadowing The Hit King at the sportsbook, Spacey content we can’t watch anymore, lightweight words for heavyweight felonies, and more in today’s episode.
