October 4, 1991, Scottsboro, Alabama. A woman calls for an ambulance in the middle of the night saying she’s been bitten by a poisonous rattle snake. When they get her into the ambulance, she tells them that her husband, a snake-handling local preacher, had used his snakes to try to kill her. And thus begins one of the most terrifying and bizarre cases we’ve ever covered.
What struck me the most was how the case blurs the lines between extreme Retro Bowl 26 religious belief, manipulation, and domestic abuse.
