Blade Runner - Oscar Pistorius
On this week's episode I tell Russ about the murder of Reeva Steenkamp. Reeva was murdered by world famous Olympian Oscar Pistorius. This was a sensational case out of South Africa and was reported on all over the world. Was this a case of cold blood murder or a terrible mistake?? Oscar was a disabled olympic gold medalist who was truly inspirational until this happened. Moral of the story... If you're claiming self defense, you gotta make sure your story ads up. In my opinion something just ain't right about this one.Sponsors:greenchef.us/WIFEOFCRIME125https://chef.greenchef.comPromo code- WIFEOFCRIME125Hydrojughttps://www.thehydrojug.comPromo code- CRIMEBecome a Patron!www.patreon.com/wifeofcrimepod Learn more about your ad choices.

"I believe I can fly!"- Arne Cheyenne Johnson a.k.a The Devil
On this week's episode I tell Russ about the case of Arne Johnson. This case is also well known as "The devil made me do it" case. Arne was an all around nice guy who committed a horrible crime. To police the case was open and shut, but according to Arne, his girlfriend Debbie and Ed and Lorraine Warren, Arne was innocent because the devil made him do it. As most of you know, Russ doesn't believe in anything supernatural especially angels and demons, so I already knew what I was getting myself into with this one! Moral of the story.... A couple that fights the devil together stays together! Happy Halloween!!Check out our Sponsor!https://www.invisawear.comPromo code : WIFEOFCRIMEBecome a Patron!

Spinning and Winning - Lizzie Borden
On this week's episode I tell Russ about the infamous case of Lizzie Borden. This case is super popular around this time of year. It's a classic " who done it" type of case...a little bit of American folklore. But did Lizzie Borden actually kill her parents? Or could it have been someone else? I tell Russ everything I know about the Borden case (because of course he has no idea who she is) and I wanted to see what he thinks. Moral of this story... "As long as greed is stronger than compassion, there will always be suffering"Sponsors:www.thehydrojug.comPromo code: CRIME for 10% offBecome a Patreon!www.patreon.com/wifeofcrimepod Learn more about your ad choices.
