Episode 87 - Ruth Ellis: The Last Woman to be Hanged in Britain

In the gruelling world of elite gymnastics, Larry Nassar was seen by a lot of young athletes as a friendly face in tough times. As the USA Gymnastics National Medical Coordinator, he performed treatments on children as young as ten, for almost 30 years.  And under cover of those treatments, he was routinely molesting hundreds of young girls for decades – sometimes multiple times a day, often with their parents sitting just metres away. After multiple investigations, he seemed untouchable. But thanks to the bravery of his survivors – and the discovery of three external hard drives – the world saw him for what he really was: a calculated predator, with more victims than Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky and Harvey Weinstein combined. Hannah and Suruthi chart the biggest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com Sources: https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/1/19/16897722/sexual-abuse-usa-gymnastics-larry-nassar-explained The Girls, Abigail Pesta https://www.thecut.com/2018/11/how-did-larry-nassar-deceive-so-many-for-so-long.html https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jan/26/larry-nassar-abuse-gymnasts-scandal-culture https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42725339 https://www.netflix.com/title/81034185  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42806911 https://www.npr.org/2018/01/28/581397061/how-larry-nassars-abuse-went-on-for-so-long https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/01/24/here-are-the-larrry-nassar-comments-that-drew-gasps-in-the-courtroom/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/03/sports/larry-nassar-gymnastics-hbo-doc.html See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the second and final installment of our two-part episode, we enter the courtroom to hear some flimsy evidence and absolutely bizarre testimony. Get ready for witchcraft, covens, and satanism that convicted three teenagers of triple child murder. Damien, Jessie, and Jason would spend the next 18 years in prison. And as the rusty cogs of the US justice system slowly turned, a final bitter pill of injustice was forced upon the West Memphis 3. 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com Sources: The Devil’s Knot by Mara Leveritt Docs: Paradise Lost and West of Memphis https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2287-home https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2236-chronology https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2022-06-23/judge-rejects-new-evidence-testing-in-west-memphis-3-case https://www.jivepuppi.com/dale_griffis.html https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/10/13/Juror-misconduct-alleged-in-murder-verdict/28341287001195/ https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2018/hidden-damage-solitary-confinement See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This infamous case is part Stranger Things, part courtroom drama. When the bodies of 3 young boys were found, battered, sexually mutilated and hogtied with their own shoelaces in a local creek, the finger was pointed in the most 80s direction of all… Satan. Or more specifically, at three teenagers accused of being in a witches’ coven, and in league with the devil himself... 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com   Sources: The Devil’s Knot by Mara Leveritt Docs: Paradise Lost and West of Memphis https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2287-home https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2236-chronology https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2022-06-23/judge-rejects-new-evidence-testing-in-west-memphis-3-case https://www.jivepuppi.com/dale_griffis.html https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/10/13/Juror-misconduct-alleged-in-murder-verdict/28341287001195/ https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2018/hidden-damage-solitary-confinement See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In October of 2019, prison officers at HMP Full Sutton in West Yorkshire discovered the body of a prisoner who'd been subjected to 89 minutes of torture before being strangled to death by another inmate. The victim was 33-year-old Richard Huckle. Dubbed by the media as "The Gap Year Paedophile", Huckle was serving a life sentence for carrying out a 9-year-long, systematic campaign of abuse against some of the world's poorest children. Huckle documented his atrocities on the dark web, authored a how-to-guide for paedophiles, and contributed to one of the largest nonce-networks ever discovered. This is the story of Richard Huckle and the incredible officers who brought him down.

Described by the first officer to arrive as “the worst domestic scene” they’d ever witnessed, the brutality of what Alex Skeel endured was shocking. Alex had deep gashes on his arms, burns upon burns, and according to his family, he smelt like he was dead. But his years of isolation and abuse weren’t the work of a kidnapper – they came from the woman he loved.
