Women of Death Row

John Wilkes Booth's Trap House

This week, Amanda gives us a history lesson that we didn't learn in school. The story of Mary Surratt and the conspiracy to assassinate President Abe Lincoln. Mariel deep dives into a tragic crime and trial that led to the conviction of young Texas mom, Darlie Routier, and the latest update to her case as of 2019. Then some humble opinions about a very creepy "Yogi master." If this episode sounds a little different then our previous shows, it's because Mariel produced it!* Usually, we have our professional producer mix & master our episodes, but she was up for the challenge. 

*update from Mariel: I don't love the quality of this upload, so I'm going to leave it to the professionals for now. An enhanced version of this episode will be re-uploaded soon.
