“Kerrice Lewis, Lesbian Woman Shot And Burned Alive In Washington, D.C.” (Pay particular attention to how misleading the last full paragraph, the one that begins with “Heartbroken friends of the victim,” is in light of what you discover from listening to this full episode.) https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kerrice-lewislesbian-murdered-burned-alivesay-her_us_5a5040d0e4b0ee59d41c0ac5
