  • This week's case takes us back over 70 years to discuss a case that involves a love triangle (or maybe a love hexagon?), some questionable life choices, and a heaping spoonful of backwoods "justice."

    Episode Correction: I misspoke about when Judge Andrews retired--it was October 30, not April 30!!

  • There isn't a description good enough to adequately describe the ridicularity of this case, but if you go to about the 1 hour & 20-minute mark, you can hear it summed up in 3 words that Rob wanted us to use as the title, but I didn't think the podcast apps would approve of.

    WARNING: If you don't like banter, you may want to stop at around the 1 hour mark. Also, although we do make light of some aspects of the story, especially at the end of the podcast, we are not making light of anyone's death. No one deserves to die, even if their own actions led to their demise.

    I also misspoke at about the 50 minute mark--I said "His beef was with Johnny" but I mean to say "His beef was with Harold."
