It was Las Vegas’ crime of the century. Lonnie “Ted” Binion, ne’er-do-well son of the famed casino owner Benny Binion, was found dead in his home September 19, 1998. Some claimed overdose, others speculated suicide, investigators said murder.
Ted’s girlfriend, Sandy Murphy, and her lover Rick Tabish were charged with Binion’s murder and the show began.
The most riveting courtroom drama in Las Vegas history is presented pictorially, with more than 200 images by award-winning photographer Jeff Scheid.
