Truth Deferred is a historic true crime podcast by Mike and Amy Morgan, who share the story of a series of grisly murders and public hysteria leading up to the largest massacre of unarmed civilians by National Guard troops in U.S. history. Accepted history says that the National Guard Massacre, usually referred to as the Cincinnati Courthouse Riot, was caused by a corrupt lawyer getting a cold-blooded murdered off on a ridiculously light sentence – probably by bribing the jury. This caused the public to riot, and the National Guard had to step in and heroically restore order. But what if most of this story is a lie? Join us as we peel back the layers of murder, media bias, Gilded Age corruption, the rivalry between attorney T.C. Campbell and a rising young legal star named William Howard Taft, and how it all led to the slaughter of dozens of innocent people and a whitewash that covered up the truth for over 140 years This isn’t just history – it’s a mirror reflecting today’s dangerous political divisions paired with an unsettling question: could something similar happen in the streets of a modern American city?
