Tea Time Crimes

Toni Jo Henry did not have an easy life. At age 14, she was working as a sex worker and dealing with a traumatic life of abuse and addiction. That is, until she met Claude “Cowboy” Henry, a man who saw her and loved her for who she truly was. The two married immediately and had their hearts set on a happily-ever-after. Sadly, Cowboy’s own past came back to haunt him and he is sentenced to 50 years in prison. Toni Jo refuses to accept this outcome and decides to take matters into her own hands. Join us today and listen to a story where one bad choice can ruin a life forever.
