This is the viewer who requested your input at the courthouse. I must say this episode has been most enlightning. My father told me about this case and he stated that Ruby Bates and Victoria Price were a couple of good time girls looking for some money.They had sex with men who paid them for it and then they had to cover themselves because they looked so disheveled when they met their husbands or boyfriends at the train station and so they cried rape. On to Part 2

Yes, you're the one. didn't know if you wanted your name used or not.

I don't know about your Father's version, but transcripts of the testimonies can be found online and make fascinating reading.

Watched part I last night and look forward to hearing the rest tonight. I think its great that you went out "on location" to tell the tale. Harks back to the cotton picking videos. Great job!

Thanks Greg,

These places are so familiar to me that I sometimes forget that others would be interested in seeing them. The advantage of living in a small town is that everything is close in so it is not a big effort to visit the different locations.
