| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the mens rea podcast. And this is part two of the story of Catherine Nevin, the Black Widow. The Oh, Last time on the mens rea podcast we we heard about the Nevins marriage and history together |
| 0:45.8 | before they bought Jack White's pub and British Bay County Wicklow. They were not a happy couple, |
| 0:52.0 | and Catherine engaged in a number of affairs. |
| 0:54.8 | We learned about how Catherine had gone about approaching contacts that she had with IRA associations |
| 1:01.4 | that she thought might kill her husband for her and how she was trying to |
