Reconsidered: Ellie Nesler

Ep 359: Women & Crime: Reconsidered is where we revisit our episode catalog and bring new insights, behind the scenes or updates. Brand new episodes are STILL every Tuesday! Original Airdate: 02/08/22 - This woman, like any loving mother would do anything to protect her kids from this unpredictable world turned into a highly overprotective mother who took the law into her own hands when her own son was molested by a Christian summer camp worker who had a previous history of child molestation. Many supported and heralded Ellie Nesler as a hero but that was before a sensational trial that would reveal a side of Ellie Nesler the public had not seen before and this side would raise serious doubt about Ellie's actions.
