Ep. 101: The West Memphis Three, pt. 2
Episode description
What do mail order colleges, alligator snapping turtles, and $0.10 library books have in common? Find out in this week’s episode, when Hannah and Katy conclude the story of the West Memphis Three: three teenagers wrongfully accused of murder in a small town swept up in Satanic panic paranoia. You’ll hear about the prosecution’s straw man case (which included such damning evidence as “they wore a lot of black”), how Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and Natalie Maines (The Chicks) helped the boys get a second chance at justice, and who may have actually been behind the murders (spoiler: a relative with no alibi and a history of physical/sexual abuse.)
It’s worth the wait, so hang in there until the end! The girls are eating cake again, so cut yourself a slice of something sweet, and join us for the conclusion to this unsolved mystery!
