Ep 244: Arsenic Obsession - The Valentine Meat-Juice Incident
Description
Today let's talk about the 'murder' of James Maybrick - a businessman in Liverpool in the 1880s who loved to medicate with poisions. A good, what-doesn't-kill-me-makes-me-stronger kind of guy.
James's young American wife, Florence, will be accused and tried of murder. It's a story of unmet expectations, Victorian medicine, and a very strong case for prison reform, even well over 100 years later.
Florence's book is avaialble via the public domain - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/55773
