According to Wells, quote, there were some events that were attributed to what would become the Atlanta Ripper that ended up not being the work of the Atlanta Ripper and ended up being the work of disgruntled husbands and boyfriends.

Oh.

Which, damn.

Woof.

In most cases, there was little to no evidence left behind in the more than two dozen cases eventually ascribed to the Atlanta Ripper.

In fact, the handful of suspects arrested and brought to trial for the crimes all were acquitted by white juries, which was wild, for lack of evidence.

That actually is wild because I didn't even think of the fact that it was not necessarily a jury of their peers.

It was white juries, lack of evidence, which is a remarkable occurrence given the racial tensions and just like what was going on in Atlanta at the time.

Because how many...

was well and it's like how many other stories have we heard where yeah it's a jury of white people who are just like yeah they did it yeah they did it sure there's barely any evidence but yeah yeah so this is really like you said so it's very interesting and to this day we don't know who committed those murders how sad is that and which ones are even the work of the same person

Well, honestly, it's a result from zero effort being put into any of these cases.

Just hearing that one detective.

That summed it all up.

How he talked about this.

You're just like, got it.

There was eyewitnesses.

That's the thing.

There was eyewitnesses.

They definitely could have solved it.

Yeah.
