Desperate Bride: Toni Jo Henry

from Criminal Broads Hosted by Gemini XIII

Life was hard for Toni Jo Henry in 1940s Louisiana. She was in the forced-to-grow-up-too-fast, creepy-men-all-around, dead mom, and alcoholic father club. So when she finally met a man who loved her for who she was, she was all in. But then her new husband was thrown behind bars, and Toni Jo decided that she needed to get him money for an appeal, and to get money she needed to rob a bank, and to rob a bank she needed to hijack a car…and suddenly she was on the long, dank rode to the electric chair.
