Episode 8: Delphine LaLaurie and Patty Hearst
First, Rose talks about one of the worst women ever. Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a two-time widow who abused her slaves so bad that a mob of townspeople ran her out of town.
Then Lynn tells us about Patty Hearst, an heiress who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army and helped them to rob a bank. Did she become one of them or was she just trying to survive?
