This week we’re delving into the life and crimes of John Wallace, a notorious landowner in Georgia during the mid-20th century. It explores his ruthless nature, the impact of Prohibition on his life, and the eventual murder of Wilson Turner, which led to Wallace's arrest and trial. The discussion highlights the complexities of the case, the cultural implications, and the legacy left behind, including books and films inspired by the events.
