Welcome back to one shot, where we don't drag out the story, and you get to listen to a whole case in one shot!

-

In 1939 Joe Arridy was executed by lethal gas. However, there were a couple problems. Joe Arridy had an IQ of 46, Joe Arridy was intellectually a 6 year old, and Joe Arridy was not present at the crime he was being executed for. In this small dive Madison tells us of the horrific murder of Dorothy Drain and how Joe Arridy ended up in the gas chamber for it. This one is very sad, for the Drain family, and for Joe Arridy.
