Trial By Wine

Schmidty survived her hip replacement and comes in hot with this story of medical malfeasance, which is dedicated to the lovely anaesthetic nurse who was vibing pre surgery with her.  Fortunately, there were no incompetent surgeons on that day, unlike in this story of Christopher Duntsch who killed and/or maimed almost all of his surgical patients.

Schmidty tells the story of Connie and Richard Dabate.  Victims of a Vin Diesel like attacker, or was there something else afoot?  

Swanny tells the story of Joseph Pikul, a self made millionaire and violent husband who killed his wife Diane and got custody of the kids - and that is only one of several plot twists in this story.

Schmidty tells a story of brutal violence set in 1950's Nebraska - the spree killings by Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate and explores the likelihood of Caril's true involvement.

Swanny tells the remarkable story of Alison Botha who was brutally attacked by two monstrous men in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 1994.  

Schmidty tells the story of Charles Ponzi. whose name became a verb to describe pyramid scheme fraud, but who wasn't actually the OG!

Clarky tells a fan pick story that simply astonishes the jury.  Insurance fraud, serial murder and fake self harm are the key themes of this story out of South Korea.  Without giving away too much, Eom In-suk came to be known as the Black Widow or Lady Death.

Swanny tells the story of Molly Martens, an au pair that found love with Jason Corbett after he tragically lost his wife.  What could have been a love story about second chances, turned into a nightmare of epic preportions.
