Before Patty Hearst appeared as an actress in John Waters' movies, she captivated America on the silver screen as a hostage terrorized by the Symbionese Liberation Army. When the newspaper heiress was kidnapped by the radical organization in 1974, the country sympathized with her plight. But after just a few months, the SLA's guns weren't pointing at Patty anymore. Suddenly, Patty was firing her own weapons during fistfights and bank robberies as a member of the same terrorist group that once kept her locked in a closet. In court, Patty claimed she was brainwashed and that she played along for her own safety. It's true that Patty Hearst gave the performance of a lifetime — but we still don't know which part of her life was the performance.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!Murder in Bel-Air: The Scorned Lover and the HouseboyIf there's one thing Hollywood socialites should know by now, it's that mixing business with pleasure—especially when it involves a live-in employee—is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, Norma Thompson McCauley, a wealthy Bel-Air divorcee, learned this lesson the hard way. And by hard way, we mean stabbed and strangled to death by her former houseboy-turned-lover, John Russell Crooker, Jr., in July of 1955.Norma was the kind of woman who knew how to live well. With the lush backdrop of Bel-Air as her playground, she enjoyed the finer things in life, including a houseboy who quickly became much more than just a helping hand. Enter John Crooker, a 30-year-old man in law school at UCLA, who was supposed to be dusting chandeliers and pouring cocktails—not plotting murder. But once Norma tired of their affair and sent him packing, Crooker proved that hell hath no fury like a jilted domestic servant.On the night of July 4, 1955, Crooker let himself into Norma's swanky estate, and hid in a closet until she came home from a party. When John knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Norma was cutting him loose, their conversation escalated, and soon, Norma lay dead in her home, the victim of a scorned lover's blind rage. Crooker, however, didn't get far. It turns out the Bel-Air elite came to Norma's defense, saying she'd told them that Crooker said he would kill her if she broke it off. Within days, he was in cuffs.The prosecution had a smoking gun in the form of Crooker's signed confession—one that he later claimed was coerced by the LAPD, an argument that wasn't exactly unheard of in the 1950s. Regardless, the jury didn't buy it. Crooker was convicted and sentenced to die in California's gas chamber. Case closed, right? Not so fast.Enter Judge Stanley Mosk, the man who presided over Crooker's trial. Mosk, apparently struck by a bout of judicial guilt, later admitted he regretted allowing the confession as evidence. Years later, when Mosk climbed the political ladder to become California's Attorney General, he personally petitioned the governor to commute Crooker's death sentence to life without parole.And because the universe loves irony, years after that, the very same governor decided that even life without parole was too harsh. So in 1972, after serving 17 years at San Quentin, John Russell Crooker, Jr. walked out of prison—alive, breathing, and free.So, what's the moral of the story? For one, if you're a high-society socialite with a penchant for hiring your lovers, maybe draft an airtight NDA (or at least a solid security plan). And if you're a judge with a conscience, be careful what you regret—because one moment of hesitation can turn a gas chamber sentence into a second chance at life.As for Crooker? He died in Oregon in 1992—twenty years after his release. Don't miss this week's episode filled with WW2 ex-husbands, adult bed-wetters and enough scandal in 1955 California to fill years of newspaper articles.sources used for this podcast: https://www.hitched2homicide.coSupport the showJOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA

     This week- a pair of films about women defying social expectations.     Leaving her upper-middle class adoptive parents and normative school life behind, Raquel runs away to become a sex worker in São Paulo. Soon she works her way up the ranks, begins writing a blog (with client ratings), and becomes so popular that she begins making guest appearances on mainstream talk shows. Inspired by The Scorpion's Sweet Venom, the first autobiographical book by Bruna Surfistinha, Confessions of a Brazilian Call Girl.     Shy young Christina lives with her father, who has always been openly disappointed in her for not being as charming and social as her late mother, and her aunt. At a ball, Christina meets a charming, handsome, and very poor young man named Morris. Morris pursues Christina, encouraged by her aunt and highly suspected by her father. When her father draws a hardline against her socializing with Morris, Christina must make a choice- to be disinherited over a who might be only after due to that inheritance or remove all connection to the only person to show her any kindness and care at the demands of her cold and controlling parent. Added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1996, William Wyler's The Heiress.     All that and we try a new recording platform.
