How does the first Miss Mexico end up on trial for killing her husband—and walk free after a jury of men decides she was defending her honor? The Dark and Disturbing Case of María Teresa Landa takes us to 1929 Mexico City, where the newly crowned beauty queen married General Moisés Vidal, only to discover his violent temper and infidelities within days. When he attacked her with a pistol during a jealous rage, she shot him first—and then made history by becoming one of the first women in Mexico to successfully claim self-defense in a murder trial. The press turned her into a symbol, the public into a jury, and the verdict into a national conversation about gender, violence, and justice. Press play, and don't listen alone.
