Hey friends!
On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.
This week’s episode is a short one but definitely not sweet…
This week we are discussing the upsetting and wrongful conviction and execution of the sweet Joe Arridy. Joe was executed in 1939 for the crime of rape and murder despite being innocent. He was quoted as being the “happiest man on death row” due to him being intellectually disabled with an IQ of 46. Joe enjoyed playing with his trains and became very close to the warden, Roy, while in jail. He did not have the capacity to understand most things in life but was still convicted of a well-planned crime that even state psychiatrists said he couldn’t have done due to his capacity. How did this happen to Joe? Was the real killer convicted? Listen and find out!
