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

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

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to Criminal Broads, a true crime and history podcast about wild women on the wrong side of the law.

I'm your host Tori Telfer, author of Lady Killers and Confident Women and numerous articles online that span a long freelance career.

I have articles from think pieces on why there are so many movies being made about Ted Bundy to articles from about 10 years ago that are like the best DIY avocado honey mask to put on your face.

I never said I started out as a as the billionaire true crime writer I am today. No, I started out my freelance writing career writing beauty and fashion articles for $25 a pop three articles a day all due before noon.

Living in Chicago, waitressing at night and honestly wouldn't want to do it again, but I look back on that time in my life fondly.

And if you want to start out as a freelance writer, you might have to start with one of those soulless grind gigs.

But do it because one day you could be sitting in your closet talking into a microphone all by yourself.

Okay, I didn't mean to get into my life story here today. That was just the first thing that came to mind.

I hope you're all doing well. I hope you're hydrating. It's very hot out there and a lot of places in the US right now.

International listeners. I don't care what the weather is like where you are. You need to hydrate to hydration is very important.

Okay, before we get into today's story, I want to beg a moment of your time. I don't have any ads today.

So you don't have to sit through any ads. Instead, I was hoping I could just direct you in lieu of an ad to check out this great organization that I recently found.

It's called LastPrisonerProject.org. And they're basically trying to grant clemency or have President Biden grant clemency to quote the thousands of people incarcerated due to or otherwise still burdened by federal cannabis related convictions.

Let me try to put that in plain English. Pretty sure what they're saying is it's kind of ridiculous. We live in a country where you can become a millionaire by selling weed or selling like your fancy schmancy.

Like, you know, product like weed infused products while other people mostly black and brown people language in jail for having a little bit of weed on them.

So I'm really into this organization. I think they look really cool and not to be shallow, but they have some cool merch. So check it out.

LastPrisonerProject.org. I'll put the link in the show notes.

All right, today's story is one. In a way, I feel like it's a quote-unquote classic story of a female murderer because it seems like it could appear on snapped or deadly women.

I don't think it has. I don't know. Honestly, I don't watch those shows. I don't like how they treat the subject matter usually. They're very salacious.

But this seems like one of those stories. You know, if you just, if I just summarized it for you really quickly here, which I'm not going to because I don't want to get it away, it sounds kind of like, ooh, she did what now? That's so like, what a bad girl.
