The Pimlico Mystery occurred over a hundred years ago, yet themes discussed echo into today's society. Adelaide Bartlett was accused of killing her husband in 1886 through an overdose of prescription medicine. Dogged by scandalous rumours and a tragic past, Adelaide found public opinion was against her. Rachael discusses the obstacles in place for a woman in Victorian England.
Due to the recent Black Lives Matter movement and justified public outcry, Theo continues the theme of power Imbalance still in today's society. A case which almost quietly went away due to the impact of the global virus crisis, Breonna Taylor was in danger of being forgotten. Highlighting the case, Theo explains how an upstanding citizen was murdered in her own home by the very people supposed to protect her.
