I think they missed an obvious (and likely) possibility as to why the murders went unreported: In 1950's Georgia, communities of color had every reason to avoid interactions with law enforcement...
Fetal ejection reflex
If George witnessed this going down, why didn't he alert someone right away??? I think George should was suspect.
Always race, always woke
Always interesting cases. Very well presented.
I should not have listened to this during lunch
Host bemoans racism in arrest while presenting no evidence of racism. Ends up presenting lots of circumstantial evidence saying the black guy was involved, and she ends up saying he is responsible. BUT he is acquitted, so why was racism introduced at all? Just tell the story, if racism is a part of it, so so. If it is not, then don't politicize.
Trying to listen, the woman is laughing to much. But since another Susan likes it, I'll try again.
love you folks and your great content, but can you PLEASE stop using the redundant expression "Time Period." please - it drives me bonkers
I tuned in to hear Paul Coles, but a mere peep in 15 minutes...why is she telling the story and very little from Coles? no thanks
I am subscribed and your episodes always download 2 times. Why is that? Can it be fixed?
I'm guessing the Brother did it!!! ?
Narrator so offended evidence suggested a woman because that is not sufficiently woke. Turns out it was a woman. Please just follow/speculate on the evidence, leave the woke BS out.
I love these episodes! I hope this can be solved!
can't get over how much the theme song reminds me of Goosebumps TV show intro!
I think since you have one named Ruby, it is only fitting that the other one be named Jolene!
as a not-very-careful soap maker, I can verify that strong bases are much better at eating through flesh (mine) than strong acids.
ummmmm I was born in '77 and my daughter was born in '99 and we both listen to Loggins and Messina. music isn't set by what generation you were born in ✌️❤️🎶
I wonder what happened to the 14 midwives who testified she wasn't pregnant, since she was clearly 5 months pregnant when she was executed.
Kate. I think you may have been onto something. has anyone looked into who lived in Crippen' s house before him. many times the Dr would move into the previous drs residence.
