BAD TOWN #5 BAD TRIAL TOWN aka FOR THE LOVE OF MOSES

Content warning for domestic violence.

If you didn’t already know - the Good Time Girls have teamed up with the ladies of The City of Subdued Podcast to bring you the darkest, the most oppressive, the spookiest, and the baaaaaadest parts of Bellingham History!

THIS EPISODE’S STORY is about a murder that occurred on Forest Street, near the Majestic Hall in Bellingham, Washington.   It is a rather sordid tale that involves a whole cast of seriously damaged folks.  It’s about a man who shot his wife and his son-in-law,--- who was also his wife’s lover---.  It’s about fancy-talking lawyers with pink toupees --and-- a particularly savage and patriarchal biblical law (even for the 1890's) filed under the Laws of Moses. And lastly, it’s about the flaws in our justice system then and NOW.  

Don’t miss this epsisode if you are a true crime fan.

You can also listen on google podcasts, apple podcasts, spotify, or podbay!
