Today I am drinking a bottle of triple hop, and I will be telling you about the case of Kitty Genovese AKA the bystander effect. 
 
Kitty was stabbed, raped, and left to die outside of her apartment building in 1964.  It was famously reported that 38 neighbors saw everything that happened through their windows that overlooked the entrance to the building, and not one person called the Police. 

But what really happened?

Hello there, and welcome to episode 9 of Ale and Agony!
Today I am drinking an alcohol-infused punch,  and I will tell you about the bizarre case of Paul Ingram.
 
Paul's daughters came forward and accused him of satanic sexual assault, which at first he denied. But he didn't bring up his children to be liars, so they must be telling the truth right? Perhaps he repressed the horrible things he has done to them? Come on this wild ride and decide for yourself!
