63. Vintage Case: Infanticide at The Hotel Cecil - a podcast by Crawlspace Media

Hold up- it's been 60+ episodes and we have never thoroughly talked about L.A. Not So Confidential's theme?? As we start this multipart series on vintage Los Angeles crimes, we break down the legacy of Hollywood noir films. We then turn to the Cecil Hotel and Dorothy Jean Purcell's crime of infanticide in 1944. We explore the historical contexts of infanticide and the phenomenon of it today in the US. As a tie-in to Ms. Purcell's adjudication, it was also necessary to talk about the criminal finding of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGI). You can find all of our resources on our website: https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/
