Murderess: Innocent Until Proven Guilty

In this episode, we’re traveling back to the late 19th century to meet two women whose stories left behind questions that still haven’t been answered. Florence Maybrick was convicted of poisoning her husband with arsenic—but was she really a murderess, or did a scandalous marriage, an affair, and a web of suspicious circumstances condemn her?

And then there’s Jesse Booth, a mother accused of something even more unthinkable: killing her own baby. But did she really commit the crime, or was she another woman caught in a story where suspicion proved easier than certainty? Listen in as we draw parallels to the current Lindsay Clancy case.

Two women. Two shocking accusations. And two cases where the truth may be far more complicated than the headlines made it seem.
