Michael Goodwin's Conviction Upheld! The Mickey Thompson Murder Case

Can a business deal truly lead to murder, even decades later? The conviction of Michael Goodwin for the 1988 murders of racing legend Mickey Thompson and his wife, Trudy, continues to reverberate, a stark reminder of how deeply business rivalries can turn personal and tragically, violent. The latest development in this long-running saga is the upholding of Goodwin's conviction by a state appellate court, ensuring he remains behind bars for a crime that shocked the motorsports world.

The Los Angeles Times, in a piece by Francine Orr, reported on the appellate court's decision affirming the 2007 guilty verdict against Michael Goodwin. The 2nd District Appellate Court's ruling effectively closes a chapter that began over two decades ago, a period marked by legal battles, accusations, and ultimately, a conviction for the contract killing of Mickey Thompson, a name synonymous with racing innovation, and his wife, Trudy. The murders, occurring outside their Los Angeles area home, stemmed from a business relationship gone sour, forever linking Goodwin and Thompson in a narrative of ambition, betrayal, and violence.
