“The criminal justice system should treat everyone like a white teenage girl whose future it’s concerned about disrupting.”

Sarah tells Mike about Melissa Drexler, the New Jersey teenager who (according to George F. Will) killed her newborn baby due to the influence of Metallica and the United States Supreme Court. Digressions include Baby Moses laws, “Citizen Ruth” and Ted Bundy’s political leanings. To the surprise of no one, we end up discussing true crime tropes in great detail.

This episode contains detailed descriptions of neonaticide.
