Getting Acquitted

Jimmy’s defense lawyer, Eric Naiburg, claimed, “There’s proof of the defendant’s guilt, but also reasonable doubt. I don’t think anybody but God knows what happened that night.” And with Ricky now dead, unable to testify against his friends, the jury would luckily acquit him of second-degree murder.

Becoming A Man Of Legend

Unbelievably, while no one actually lawfully answered for the murder of Gary Lauwers, Ricky Kasso would become somewhat of a legend. Not only did the story inspire movies, books and songs, his moniker would even become the name of a heavy metal band called ‘Acid King.’ Then to make matters even stranger, many folks, including the authorities, had claimed that the entire murder was really just a rift between friends fighting over drugs and money. Whether Ricky Kasso was persuaded by the devil or he was just too high on drugs, one thing was certain, two young men would die way before their time and cause enough heartbreak to haunt them forever.
