Twenty-two-year-old Elma Sands is found murdered in a Manhattan well on January 2nd, 1800. Her lover, wealthy and well-connected Levi Weeks, is accused of the barbaric offense. Weeks brings in the nation’s best legal defense team – none other than Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr – to clear his name while a pandemic-stricken New York City buzzes with scandal. This six-episode true story unfolds over the unbelievable two-day trial that laid the sexist roots of today’s justice system. Through flashbacks & testimony recreated in modernized language and narrated by Allison Flom, Erased: The Murder of Elma Sands investigates history’s chronic erasure of women and highlights the toils of Catherine Ring, a 27-year-old Quaker woman who took on the nation’s best legal team to preserve her cousin Elma’s name. Starring & Executive Produced by Allison Williams ("Get Out", "Girls") as Catherine Ring, Tony Goldwyn ("Scandal," "Ghost") as Alexander Hamilton, Barry Scheck (Innocence Project Founder) as Aaron Burr, and Jason Flom (Wrongful Conviction) as Judge John Lansing. Created & Narrated by Allison Flom. Erased: The Murder of Elma Sands is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.

I don’t usually like dramatizations, but this podcast did a great job interpreting 200-year-old testimony to bring this trial to life. The frequent ads are annoying, but the series makes up for it with good writing and a constellation of talented actors for all the many witnesses. I especially appreciated the historical context added by the host’s narration, and how she always circles back to centering Elma’s story, which got lost in the trial itself. Then ending was especially poignant. I think a lot of listeners were expecting a more erudite delivery, but this series encapsulates the motto “show, don’t tell” – it’s more of a radio show than historical nonfiction.
FUN. & Different

I really enjoyed this podcast. I listen to hundreds of podcasts - mostly true crime - so this unique take on New York’s first murder trial was right up my alley. I appreciated the focus on Elma and who she was as that has been lost over the many years. As a lawyer I also appreciated the significant impact this case had on our current criminal system and how the host weaved those details into the story. Much has certainly changed over the decades but, tragically, the scales of justice are still vulnerable to the power of privilege and money. That story still needs to be told! Well done!

Could have been so much better. The acting is atrocious and ruins the historical narrative.
It all makes senses now

What a wonderful podcast. It is sad and Elma’s story is loving told so that she does not get forgotten and has yet another injustice added to her short life. Her story is lovingly told and it is a look into the history of the (un)justice system and how it was built. Wonderful story telling. Great podcast.
