Episode 121 - Part 2/2 - Alive But Still Not Free
The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories
01/24/22 • 54 min
After Nicole Addimando fatally shot her partner in what she claimed was self-defense, she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At her trial the details surrounding her history of abuse were excluded, essentially removing the context for what happened the night of the shooting from the jury.
As much as this case examines the darker side of the judicial system it also highlights human strength and the immense power of friendship, love, and compassion - the unstoppable force behind a group of women who have fought fiercely to bring not only Nikki’s truth to light but the injustice all criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face.

Episode 125 - Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower
The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories
03/13/22 • 38 min
In June 2011, UK author Helen Bailey began writing a blog after the death of her husband as a way to deal with her grief and to provide comfort and a voice to the bereaved.
She openly chronicled her journey following her loss - the ins and outs, the highs and lows, and eventually revealed that things were, indeed, getting better for her - she’d met someone: a man she called “The Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower.”
