Murder on the Last Turn

My most recent cover story for the LA Weekly (about Mike Goodwin, above, the alleged murderer of race car driver Mickey Thompson). It's a great story but hard to do. Everyone had an agenda and hardly anyone, I thought, completely told me the truth. Worst of all the story took me longer to research and write than any other story I've ever written. A teenage dropout flipping burgers at McDonalds wouldn't accept my hourly wage on this story.
