Gems are beautiful creations of nature that can refract light in all directions and colors. Much like its crystalline namesake, Gems of History is a podcast in which Jacob Schopp and Evan Rusch aim to explore various refractions throughout history that make up some of the world's most interesting events, people, and folklore in a fun and educational way.
The finale is here! To wrap up the show, and our series on Lizzie Borden, we discuss the lead up to the official trial as well as the nitty gritty details of both legal teams' arguments over the guilt and innocence of Lizzie. In the end, she is ultimately acquitted due to crafty legal maneuvering and a lack of evidence tying her to the crime, but that didn't, and still doesn't, stop people from believing wholeheartedly that she did it. Thank you all once again for listening to the show for the past few years, we truly couldn't have done it without you.

Ep 138 - Lizzie Borden Redux Part 1: She Sounds Like a Liar
To wrap up the podcast, we are going back to a topic we covered way back at the beginning of the show and giving it another look - specifically, the Lizzie Borden murder case. On this episode, we discuss the timeline of events and give some background on who the family was and the setting in which they lived. The police eventually land on no other option but to arrest Lizzie Borden for the murder of her parents and take her to a proper trial. What are your initial thoughts?

Gems Unscripted: Piles of Bodies and Incel Terrorists
We are taking a week off from research to prep for our final series, so this week we found some wild news stories to talk about! A Colorado funeral home with a stack of nearly 200 unburied bodies starts off the episode, then we get into brain chopsticks, violent incel murders, and butt-based chess cheats! This one truly goes all over the map.
