The 50-Year Grudge: Carl Ericsson's Fatal Revenge on His High School Rival
When 73-year-old Carl Ericsson walked up to Norman Johnson's door in Madison, South Dakota on a freezing January night in 2012, he was about to settle something that had been eating at him since high school. Fifty years. That's how long he'd been carrying around this grudge. And when Norman opened that door, Carl shot him twice in the face with a .45 caliber pistol. The prosecution said it was about a locker room prank from the 1950s. The victim's family said it was jealousy that never died. The psychiatrist said it was severe depression and impaired judgment. But here's what nobody disputes: a beloved teacher and coach is dead, and the man who killed him says he wishes he could turn back the clock. This is a story about what happens when resentment doesn't fade with time, when mental illness collides with ancient anger, and when someone decides that destroying another person is the only way to feel whole again.
