Ep 6: : Trial of the Century

In the summer of 1936, New York watches with baited breath, as Lucky Luciano stands trial. He’s been charged alongside some of organized crime's most violent strongmen.

Their fate sits in the hands of Eunice’s witnesses: a handful of sex workers, many of whom are experiencing brutal heroin withdrawal as they sit on the witness stand.

This stand-off would become known as the trial of the century. So why isn’t Eunice Carter in court to see the results of all her painstaking work?

The Godmother is produced by Novel for iHeartPodcasts.
