You're Not Acting Like an Adult, Honey: Episode 50 (How Dan White Got Away with the Murder of Harvey Milk and George Moscone)

In this episode we are drinking our first tequila cocktail–the Frozen Margarita! This frozen  summertime crowd-pleaser is a spin on a vintage recipe called the daisy. For our non-Spanish speakers “margarita” is Spanish for “daisy.”
🍸 - Episode 50: Frozen Margarita — Beyond Reproach

STEPHANIE does a deep dive into the assassination of Harvey Milk and subsequent the “Twinkie Defense.” We raise our glasses to one of the many examples of straight white men getting away with literal murders using defenses that would have been laughed out of court if used by anyone else.
