Episode 65 2ndCast- 'Female of the Species'- Pt.3 Death Sentence- The True Story of Velma Barfield's Life, Crimes and Execution by Jerry Bledsoe

Pt 3: What happens when you are on Death Row?  How does the appeal process work?  What is the human toll?  Is it justice?  We will follow Velma's loved ones as they struggle with new revelations and hear from the families of the victims as human endurance is tested.  Jill walks you through Velma Barfield's maze of appeals, arguments for a new trial, and the final emotional outcome.  And Jill tells you what she thinks of Velma Barfield, the Death Row Granny (of course she does!)   Sources, show notes, photographs, recipe and drink information are found on Jill's blog: www.murdershelfbookclub.com, May 2023.   ANNOUNCEMENT- JAN 2025:  My new Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast MERCH SHOP has launched!  Please go explore!
