This guy would have been a good defense lawyer for mary ann cotton, and he brings up some good point's. I can really see her being innocent, but guilty as well. IT is possible that she had some death around her, but some of the death's could have been murder. I think about charles dickens, and how bleak thing's were in that era, makes me think about the old black and white movie oliver twist. The old british oliver twist, with the kid sleeping under a coffin, and the guy who bludgeoned his girlfriend to death, that one is how I picture this book. Good interview, I like how you always let the author give the details without interrupting, but you keep them on track every time. God bless, and thanks for another enjoyable podcast.

Agreed. Eric always keeps them on track.

I know it was a different time and place, but it seems suspicious that death seemed to follow Mary Ann so prolifically.

Poison green - learned about this in my Quilt History Study Group. Chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered arsenic's use as a coloring agent. It became popular for dyeing and printing on cloth and wallpaper and food coloring for sugars and candy. So women were making their clothes and quilts out of this poison green fabric. Over time the fabric made with poison green would disintegrate in quilts. So this to me would fall into the category of "Things that make you go hmmmm" certainly some food for thought. Thank you Erik and Martin!

Amazing discussion. Thank you.

Thanks to both of you , always high quality content

An awful lot of question's now isnt there Erik. I was cracking up by the middle of the podcast, when he had said this, or something close to it. The dr. said........... died of typhus, another line Martin used, trying to pull your not guilty strings lol. Martin would be good at doing audio book's.

He would! I’d love to hear him on an audiobook. This is such an entertaining conversation. I’d love to talk to him about any questionable subject, love how his mind works.

Thank you for yet another fascinating podcast. I wonder if anyone, living in a home with the dangerous green wallpaper, would test positive for arsenic in their system?

I feel a book order in my future!

IF there's any doubt, you can't convict. The newspaper's back then, were all about sensation and sales. This will be a good book to read.

Oh, this is going to be a great one….

That's a whole lot of circumstantial evidence.

If there is any doubt, you must acquit, and it would be sad if she was innocent and then hung. Wonder if the stepdad was a pervert, you never know. If she was guilty, you think she would have confessed before being hanged. They should do a trial, and give a proper verdict with the evidence they have. God bless.

one of the most amazing concepts within true crime. she may have done 1 or none or all of those murders, but yes, like it was said during the interview/episode, could not have been charged in today's world by the evidence being so heavily contaminated . Of course, I think of the OJ trial with all the forensics and all the proof that may have existed in both those cases, doesn't make a guilty charge. It doesnt stand up to scrutiny. And also, heartbreaking to see victorian times with such death and squalor, compared to the idealized version .

and i think it's in Munchhausen's by proxy, that the caregiver wants the attention of doctors and medical staff so makes these illnesses around him/her in order to get the patient looked at, frequently. So, the question in this episode, why would someone go after these doctors to look after these sick kids, well, can be explained. Although, to me, it doesn''t seem like she did murder the children.

Revisiting this to hear when the guy talks about pooing….

Mr Connolly is conscientious about keeping Mary Ann in the CONTEXT OF HER TIMES. This is what is so often overlooked today by people passing judgment on those from the past. It's a huge mistake to ignore context because, where it will feed the need to feel morally superior, it seriously skews the truth. Everything makes more sense in its own time.

I am sorry my friend but I can only hear for mi mnds ear QXIR talking about the faey and televised Éireann

When Mary "disappeared," isn't it likely she was in jail? The author states she had stollen some money & got a loan without her husband's permission. Wouldn't that had led to time in jail?

40:16 When you’re pooing….

This is a really awkward interview.

It would appear as though Mary had a doctor/murder for insurance fetish and the author, has a Mary fetish? This episode is too full of hyperbole and BS. IMHO and...SMDH

Nonsense the woman was obviously innocent

Fascinating story ! I believe she just had very, very bad luck in being around so many deaths. So many attended/signed- off on by doctors as disease/natural causes. The use of arsenic in the beautiful green wallpaper, fabric, soap & other cleaning products is well known. Hell ! They would even use it in bread making (I believe) to make the expensive flour go further ! Thank you.
