Little Sonny: Marcus Dorwin Adams
04/24/25 • 67 min
Marcus Dorwin Adams, known as 'Little Sonny', was a feared enforcer and rising shot-caller within a violent street gang in L.A.. His ruthless tactics and cold precision earned him the reputation as one to be feared as he committed a string of brutal crimes, including armed robbery, extortion, and multiple homicides. Behind this dirtbag's hardened persona lies a tragic origin: a boy shaped by abandonment, violence, and a desperate need to belong. Circumstance and choice collide in this case, begging the question, could things have been different if life had dealt 'Little Sonny' a different hand?

The Chocolate Cream Killer: Christiana Edmunds
The case of Christiana Edmunds has been debated since 1871. Christiana became known as 'The Chocolate Cream Killer' after lacing chocolate creams with strychnine. Some believe that she simply went mad and began poisoning the people of Brighton, England, at random. Others believe that this dirtbag was a woman scorned. After she failed at murdering her 'lover's' wife, Christiana attempted to pin the poisoning on local confectioner, John Maynard. Either way, this woman was not nearly as 'sweet' as she wanted others to think that she was. Join us as we take a look back in time and examine how a matter like this was handled by the justice system.
