Who doesn't love Halloween?

But come on, where did it begin?

I'm Patty Steele.

Before trick-or-treating, there were yikes, human sacrifices.

That's next on the backstory.

A brand new historical true crime podcast. The year is 1800.

City Hall, New York.

The first murder trial in the American judicial system.

A man stands trial for the charge of murder.

Even with defense lawyers Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr on the case,

this is probably the most famous trial you've never heard of.

When you lay suffering a sudden violent brutal death, I hope you'll think of me.

Starring Allison Williams. I don't need anything

simplified Mr. Hamilton. Thank you. With Tony Goldwyn as Alexander

Hamilton. Don't be so sad Catherine. It doesn't suit you.

Written and created by me, Allison Block.

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

Listen to Erased the murder of Elma Sands.

She was a sweet, happy virtuous girl.

Until she met that man right there.
