Summary: AN EYE FOR AN EYE -- A special edition of Yesterday’s News exploring the criminal justice system at its most extreme: Inflicting the Death Penalty... The Brutal Murder Of Ethel Mae Atkins Episode 301 is an especially sordid tale, and I don’t belive all of the lurid details were revealed, although many of them hinted at as police and people who knew her inadvertently reveal uncomfortable truths even as they try to protect the dignity of the victim. But I think she just went on a bender and things took a dark fatal turn. What do you think? Culled from the historic pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers of the era. *** If you think this episode is worth a couple of bucks, I invite you to download the Himalaya app for your smart phone where you can listen and give True Crime Historian some tip jar love.
