Lawless

Season 1, Episode 12: Guilty by Association

Summary: They say that legends never die, but what happens when the stories that fuel the myth are speculative at best? For Episode 12 of Lawless, we venture back in time to the Wild West, exploring the legendary mythos of Belle Starr, the “Bandit Queen.” While this woman did live a life of questionable morals, how much of her story is truth and how much is folk tale?
