E104: Eddie Lee Mosley Pt 1

This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Eddie Lee Mosely, a Floridian serial killer and rapist. This case has also been called the Broward County Miscarriage of justice because Mosley managed to slip through the hands of justice for 15 years, and in that time he was responsible for the sexual assaults and murders 8-100+ black women and girls, and two innocent black men were wrongfully convicted for some of those crimes. This will be a two parter because there’s just so much to the story.
