An American actress is killed by her stalker, paving the way for a whole new category of crime: murder by celebrity obsession. But if the stalker claims mental illness, how does that affect the trial? What anti-stalking laws were born as a result of this case?

Host Daryn Carp is joined by Dr. James Horan, author of “Celebrity Worshippers: Inside the Minds of Stargazer” to get answers to all her burning questions about this case.
