One of my current projects: Notorious/American Justice

[wiseguy182]

I have currently recorded, 127 episodes of this show hosted by Bill Kurtis, with more on the way. This series takes a look at notorious crimes and criminals that made headlines, and how they were handled by the American justice system. They are good quality and many episodes were recorded directly from satellite, with 4 episodes per disc. Here is a sampling of episodes.

The Disappearance of Madalyn Murray O'Hair ~ once deemed "The Most Hated Woman in America", O'Hair founded American Atheists and was instrumental in getting the Supreme Court to ban prayer from schools. O'Hair spent her lifetime protesting religion when she disappeared at age 76 with 2 of her relatives.
