The Ken Gutzeit Case: No Truth or Justice in the American Way
<p>Within the Netflix series, <em>Worst Roommate Ever</em>, the final episode deals with the story of Jamison Bachman and his reign of terror and tragedy. This episode is based on a <em>New York Magazine</em> article from 2018 of the same title. Embedded in this story lies the murder case of Kenneth Gutzeit in 1976. Bachman witnessed this incident as a Tulane University student in New Orleans, while at the Sigma Chi fraternity house, and it supposedly created a catalyst for his destructive behavior.</p>
<p>The Netflix account provides little information on the backstory of the fatal altercation. It simply surmises that Ken Gutzeit instigated the confrontation, and the assailant, Randell Vidrine, walked free without a trial two weeks later based on a self-defense argument.</p>
