(130) Life in Prison in Delaware

On today's episode...another disaster on the east coast. Delaware actually used the death penalty until 2012, believe it or not. This one has it all. A horrible child abuse case, a black widow, and an 80s serial killer. I couldn't expect anything else from the state that gave us Joe Biden.

(128) Life in Prison in Connecticut

On today's episode...a chunk of the east coast that surprisingly held onto the death penalty until 2012. This episode has everything from a crafty "good samaritan" to a brutal child abuser. And of course, some of the strangest food I've seen in a while.

(127) Activism

Oh boy, do I have a spicy one for you today. We've all got opinions on things like abortion, the judicial system, immigration, etc. Some of us choose to go the peaceful route when we express our feelings. Petitions, signs, and quiet demonstrations. Others go out of their way to make a scene and leave a bloodbath in their wake. Today's episode ain't for everyone, but I feel it's important to remind you all that violence is not the answer.
