In this episode of Women of Death Row, Mariel tells the story of Dame Alice Kyteler, a woman condemned and burned to death at the stake for witchcraft in Ireland on November 3, 1324. We also discuss breaking news of the confirmed date for Lisa Montgomery’s execution, Eric Menendez’s retrial, and why the new Netflix documentary film American Murder: The Family Next Door shook us to the core.
Listen in as we discuss how Bishop Richard de Ledrede’s declaration that his diocese was filled with devil worshipers led to the imprisonment and death of the supposed witch and demon worshipper Alice Kyteler. Digressions include more death penalty stuff, particularly in light of the cases of Lisa Montgomery and Scott Peterson. Thanks for listening!
