Episode 70 - MBSing with Mel Evans - Female-Committed True Crimes

From the podcast

Fellow podcaster Mel Evans drops by MBSing for some October-appropriate scary killer talk! She is as delightful as she is knowledgeable about women who have committed murders. From Lizzie Borden to Snapped, we cover a lot of killer ground and have a total blast along the way. I don't think I ever would have pondered the different ways/reasonings females commit such crimes or the disparity between how they're treated for such sprees versus the drive behind male-committed killings and the way most are shrugged off as chemical imbalances. It's a weird thing we do as a society to slap a "crazy" label on any woman acting out of sorts. More of that talk and plenty of lighter fare in this truly wonderful ep.
