87. The San Antonio Four: Wrongfully Convicted feat. Beyond the Rainbow

Welcome to episode four of this October sinister series with me and my amazing friend C.J. from Beyond the Rainbow: True Crimes of the LGBT!

For 20 years, Elizabeth Ramirez, Kristie Mayhugh, Cassandra Rivera and Anna Vasquez fought to prove their innocence. They were accused of doing horrible things to their nieces. This was all during the time of the Satanic Panic witch-hunts. These four Latina lesbians were battling against myths, homophobia and much more in their fight to get exonerated.
