Is it a sin? Is it a crime? Love and you do like I do.

0:10.0

If it's a crime, then I'm guilty, guilty of love and you.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Criminal Broads,

0:24.0

a true crime and history podcast about how wild women on the wrong side of the law.

0:29.0

I'm Tori Telfer, and I have forgotten to say my name on the past two to three episodes of this podcast,

0:34.0

so I'm going to re-emphasize it here. I'm Tori Telfer, and if you know one thing about me,

you should know that I have a book coming out on February 23rd called Confident Women.
