Ep43: The Case of the Somnambulist (Aug 28, 2017)

When young Albert Tirrell killed his lover Maria Bickford on Beacon Hill, it sparked a scandal that rocked Victorian Boston in the 1840s.  It was a tale of seduction, murder, and the unlikeliest of defenses.  In the end, he would be found not guilty, in the first successful use of sleepwalking as a defense against murder. We apologize for Nikki's head cold, some rough cuts that resulted from editing out her sniffles, and the couple of sniffles that made it into the final cut. Show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/043
