Ep. 170 - Dr. James Snook: Premeditation, or passion?

In 1929, an affair between married Ohio State University professor Dr. James Snook and medical student Theora Hix came to a crashing end when he beat her with a hammer and slashed her throat.

But two days after he was sent to the electric chair, the prison warden said Snook told him it had always been premeditated.
