Episode 52: Ed Gein: The Killer Who Changed Horror Forever - Part Two

This week on The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey wrap up their two-part discussion into Ed Gein, separating fact from fiction and unpacking what the Netflix series got wrong. From misrepresented murders to exaggerated rumors, they walk through the real story behind one of true crime’s most infamous figures. The conversation also explores how mental competency is determined in criminal cases, what “not guilty by reason of insanity” really means, and why those rulings matter today. Along the way, Lacey shares a personal story about falling down the stairs that turns into a real-world lesson on teaching kids how to call for help in an emergency. This episode connects horror, law, and humanity, proving that even the darkest cases raise questions about mental health, justice, and compassion.   #thelawmaspodcast #legalpodast #edgein #spookyoctober
