I'm Brett and I'm Alice and we are The Prosecutors.

Today on The Prosecutors. She was a trail blazing attorney, the first black female prosecutor

Kentucky, but on August 5th 1965 she was brutally murdered. Who killed Alberta Jones?

Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of The Prosecutors.

I'm not going to lie, I think most people probably learned about it at one of the royal weddings.

But did you know the fascinator is literally derived from the Latin term to fascinate and

so they are actually tied because it's enthralling. It's someone who's enthralling and I guess

the art because it's like art that you're wearing on your head. I mean, it serves no practical

purpose. It's really just decoration, but it's beautiful.

It's like an impractical hat. It is an impractical hat, but do we really need hats to be practical

anymore these days anyway? No. I wish we wore more hats. I miss hats. I blame John

F. Kennedy. Baseball caps or like fedoras. I like fedoras. The story is, and I don't

know if this is true, this is probably apocryphal, is that hats went out of style when JFK

did not wear a hat at his inaugural address. I don't know if that's true, but that's

what I've heard. That's fascinating. That's fascinating, Brett. I'm taking it all the

way around. Oh, yes. That's why this podcast works so well, everybody. And that's, I think

maybe when we're trying a little hard back to that person who said we had no chemistry.

That's true. It's true. We're trying to cover it up. But I tell you what, Alice, we have

a fascinating case today. We really do. And really, I think this may be my favorite

case that we've done. She is my favorite person we've talked about. And obviously it

is a sad, sad case that she was murdered. And we'll talk about that. But I'm really

excited about this case because Brett, I'm so excited we get to highlight her life.
