In this extra-long episode, Katie and Elissa can't keep it concise when discussing thoughtcrime, better known as criminal thought. Elissa's brother suggested a google search of "Cannibal Cop," which led her to discover the 2013 trial of Gilberto Valle. Knowing nothing about law and even less about cannibalism, Katie and Elissa share their perspectives on what constitutes intent to harm and how to prove it.
