Season 2 Episode 2: The Story of Joe Arridy, The Happiest Man on Death Row

This week we’ll be traveling slightly outside of the Midwest for a listener request.  1939, Canon City Colorado, a 23 year-old man is put to death for the murder of a young girl. But the story behind this young man’s trial and imprisonment is not what you might expect. The story of how Joe Arridy arrived in his cell, the story of his life and his death is nothing more than a grave injustice.
