THE CASE OF MARIA BARBELLA: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Episode description
Who’s to blame for the Case of Maria Barbella?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Mo Fry Pasic, host of the podcast Worse Than You, to discuss the troubling case of Maria Barbella. She may have escaped the electric chair, but her story electrified the world. Did Maria’s status as a non-english speaking Italian immigrant and her unbiased, all male jury of “peers” create any difficulties for the initial verdict? Did Lazy Translating during the trail have something to do with it? And why wasn’t there more reporting on the ongoing sexual and physical abuse Maria had to endure? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
