San Antonio Four

Jul 13, 2020

In this episode, Alysa’s friend, Jordan, joins the podcast to hear the unbelievable story of the San Antonio Four. These four women were wrongfully convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls and they spend twenty-two years defending their innocence. The discussion also touches on the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 1990s, “junk science” used as evidence, and bias based on sexual orientation. All sources are located in show notes and any images will be posted on Instagram.
