Episode notes

The blurry colour photograph on the front page of a Danish tabloid newspaper shows an inconspicuous middle-aged woman. The media have dubbed her "The Black Widow". The day this picture is taken, in September 2003, she’s handed the toughest sentence available under Danish law: life in prison.
