About the Episode

The case of Christiana Edmunds has been debated since 1871. Christiana became known as ‘The Chocolate Cream Killer’ after lacing chocolate creams with strychnine. Some believe that she simply went mad and began poisoning the people of Brighton, England, at random. Others believe that this dirtbag was a woman scorned. After she failed at murdering her ‘lover’s’ wife, Christiana attempted to pin the poisoning on local confectioner, John Maynard. Either way, this woman was not nearly as ‘sweet’ as she wanted others to think that she was. Join us as we take a look back in time and examine how a matter like this was handled by the justice system.
