Episode 31 The Potato Masher Murder by Gary Sosniecki, Pt 2- The Wife Killing Primer

Part 2: In this second installment of The Potato Masher Murder, the 1906 murder of Cecilia Ludwig saw the arrest and trial of her husband, Albin Ludwig. The Defense presented a scenario sharply countered by the Prosecution. But would it be enough to convict Albin? Death penalty on the table, jurors would hear the shocking story of suspicion, obsession, a deteriorating marriage, conflict, and abuse that reach a deadly flashpoint. Join Jill as she tells the story of Albin’s trial and the factors that led to murder by fire.   Source material, show notes, photographs, food and drink suggestions are found on Jill's blog at www.murdershelfbookclub.com, Dec 2021.
