Hollywood Scandals: Arbuckle & Flynn Cases Explored

Episodes

1.1 - The Trials of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle

1921. One of Hollywood's biggest stars is charged with manslaughter after a woman dies at his party. The DA builds his case around a witness who’s running a shakedown - and never testifies. Three trials, an  astonishing jury statement, and a verdict that couldn’t save him. Criminal defense attorney Adriana Collado goes behind the evidence — and the headlines.

1.2 - Errol Flynn - When Robin Hood Became the Outlaw

In February 1943, Errol Flynn — Hollywood's romantic leading man — walked out of Los Angeles Superior Court acquitted of sexually assaulting two teenage girls. This episode examines the legal strategy behind that acquittal, the defense tactics used against the accusers, and what the verdict reveals about the criminal justice system of the era — and our own.
