In this episode of Madness and Murder podcast, we dig deep into the case of Mary Bell, an 11-year-old who murdered two young boys. We look at her life, the murders, and the trial, and then discuss how her accomplice, Norma Bell, was treated in comparison. Was Norma Bell innocent? We consider this and more in this episode.
