Revisionist History: The Alabama Murders
About this episode
The episode discusses the Alabama Murders and the ethical implications surrounding capital punishment and personal choices.
We're sharing an episode from another podcast that asks big questions about who we are and how we got here: The Alabama Murders, a new series by bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast. Entangled in an affair with a parishioner, a Northwest Alabama minister made a devastating choice. Eventually, the consequences led to the center of a hot national debate about who should be allowed to live, who should die, and how the state should kill them. Malcolm asks: why, in our efforts to alleviate suffering, do we so often make it worse? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
