That's a Bad Sign

Jack the Ripper and the wrongful conviction of the Scottsboro Boys


Listen Later

Jack the Ripper, one of the world's oldest cold cases, terrorized London's East End in the 1800's. Some argue it was a crazed butcher - others think it was Winston's Churchill's father... listen to the gory details and decide for yourself. Then, we take a depressing but necessary turn and dissect the story of the Scottsboro Boys, nine black teenagers falsely accused of raping two white women aboard a train near Scottsboro, Alabama, in 1931.
