America loves its founding fathers, but that's a tough act to follow as a founding son.

I'm Bob Crawford. Join me, Patrick Warburton, and Nick Offerman, as we bring the sixth

president to life. Was there ever witnessed such a bare-faced corruption in any country before?

Let justice be done, though the heavens fall!

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hello and happy Friday, I'm Holly Fry, and I'm Tracy V. Wilson.

We talked about murder! Yeah, yeah. I was hard to say it like Linda Belcher.

There's so much I left out of this story because it was like

bleh, and kind of sexist and infantilizing to Alma.

But it mirrored its discussion because these are things that have not entirely gone away.

One of the things that really stood out to me while I was reading accounts of the trial,

was a comment par-do made. He got to the trial a little bit late when it started,

and he had to sit in the press box, so reporters heard him say this. He had not seen Alma in

quite a while. She of course had still been in jail. He had not been visiting her.

And the first thing he said when she came into the courtroom was, wow, she looks like she lost 40

pounds. Which she apparently had lost about 40 pounds while she was in jail.

But it also was just super gross. And there was lots of discussion of her body in the press about

how like some accounts you read of her trial is about how incredibly pretty she was.

And then there are others that are like, yeah, but remember when she was fat? And it's just like

the grossest, like oh, she had been quite chubby before all of this. So maybe this was good.
