Michael Laudor was living in lockdown at a mental health facility when he received his acceptance letter to Yale Law School. Before his paranoid schizophrenia had flared out of control, he had been admitted to the top seven law schools in the country. Michael deferred his admission and enrolled the next year. He was about to experience the best — and worst — years of his life.

When Michael stabbed Caroline to death, everything changed.
