Thirty-six years after he killed his wife, Robert Fulton changed his name to Raymond Reddington, the lead character in US crime show, The Blacklist. We discovered another connection to this program not mentioned in the trial.

Stocky, David Weber and Clare Rawlinson discuss the sentence, the name change and why Raymond Reddington didn't receive a non-parole period.

If you have any questions you'd like David and Stocky to answer in future episodes, please email thecaseof@abc.net.au.

The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
