Three Jolts to Justice: The Shocking Case of Michael G. Schiller

A brutal backyard murder. A courtroom drama. And an electric chair that just wouldn’t finish the job.

Michael G. Schiller was convicted not once—but twice—for the brutal and unthinkable murder of his wife, Mary. After disemboweling her in their Youngstown, Ohio home, Schiller maintained his innocence through years of legal maneuvering, appeals, and retrials. But justice caught up with him in the end. In 1904, after two death sentences, Schiller faced the electric chair—three times—before he finally died at the Ohio State Penitentiary. In this episode, we unravel the twisted tale of a man whose final punishment was as shocking as his crime.
