Can someone tell me the name of this case?
I remember seeing an episode of American Justice, which explained a case where someone killed someone the exact same way as they read in a book. The publishers of that book were found criminally liable for the defendant's actions. Does anyone know what this case was called, or at least, name the book and publisher who were involved?
YES, that's it! Thanks!

The book was called "Hitman" and published by Paliden Press. They weren't found criminally liable. Paladin Press settled the case, giving the families of those killed by the hit man several million dollars, agreeing to destroy the remaining 700 copies of the book in their possession, and
surrendering any rights they have to publish and reproduce the work. While the families were successful in profiting from their loved one's death, they have not been successful in stifling the book. With the surrender of the publishing rights by Paladin Press , the book has entered the public domain, and is being published here.
