Tell us more. Never heard that one before.

"Ma" Barker's sons were heavily involved in criminal gang activity. She herself however is now thought to have been guilty of nothing worse than providing safe houses for them. She was killed when the FBI raided one such house hoping to capture the entire gang but only Barker and one of her sons were there at the time. He initiated a shoot-out which ended after FBI forces riddled the house with gunfire.

It’s not like the FBI (Mueller himself) would lie to put people in prison who he knew hadn’t murdered anyone.
