Episode 55: The Law, the Lies, and Aileen Wuornos

In this post-Halloween episode, Lauren and Lacey trade spooky season for true crime as they discuss the new Netflix documentary on serial killer Aileen Wuornos....Lacey’s long-time “favorite case.” The conversation transitions into how sexism, trauma, and the justice system collided in Wuornos’s trial, from a prosecutor accused of hiding evidence to a judge forced to recuse herself for being “too fair.” They discuss how society’s views of sex work and empathy for victims have evolved, and why Wuornos’s story raises deeper legal and moral questions about accountability, trauma, and the death penalty.
