Welcome back to Black Girl Gone After Thoughts.

I, of course, am your host, Amara.

And I am here with my husband and my co-host, Jason.

What's going on, y'all?

So this week, we did a case about the murders of the Clay family. It was Angela Clay and her two daughters, Angela, I'm sorry, Latoya and Lakeisha.

And this was a soft case. It was a case that, you know, happened 37 years ago,

1988. But it was a case that I have had on my kind of list of cases for a while. And I didn't,

you know, didn't do it. It was, you know, and then suddenly I was like, you know what, I do want to do this story.

And one of the reasons why I decided that I wanted to do the story was because of the fact that it seemed like so little was talked about, you know, in the modern kind of telling of this story about Angela and her daughters.

The case was because of the execution or the death row sentence of the killer,

the, you know, it had dragged on in court and there was all of these things that happened

around him and his um you know pending execution um you know his attorneys had argued that he was

no not mentally you know um he was not mentally you know what's the word i'm looking for

fit to be tried yeah thank you thank you was not mentally fit you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Fit to be tried.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.
