Though they only met a few times, this teenage couple claimed to be in love. And after one of them winds up taking his own life, evidence would soon surface through the thousands of text messages they sent that the surviving teen may not have deserved any sympathy.

Ep 293: Recently we had the pleasure of holding our very first live show: The Women of Edna Mahan; where we had an Amazoing conversation with three panelists, all of whom had served time at the all-female prison. We heard their stories, struggles and they let us know what daily life was like in this all-women prison.

And while we had a great turnout, but we also wanted to share the recording of this event with those who couldn't attend.
