Has anybody read/heard about the 'lurid details' in Martha's trial?


I've been reading Crime Library's entry on the Lonely Hearts Murders, and they mention that during her trial, Martha gave some lurid details about "abnormal sex", related to Raymond's voodoo practices. However, they don't deepen on the topic. Most sites don't mention this, either. So, does anybody know what details Crime Library is talking about? Thanks!

I was wondering about this myself. I know that a lot of court documents have been put online. It would be interesting to see transcriptions of that trial. Even Lizzie Borden's trial transcripts are available online, so I'm curious why no one has done the same for this one.

I thought it was stupid how they left out the voodoo aspect but I think it focused on Buster Robinson. I honestly didn't come to watch a movie about Buster Robinson, I wanted to hear about the Lonely Hearts murderers even if his grandson wrote it, it still felt like the same old cop story I've heard many times before and it didn't do anything for me really especially seeing as it wasn't even accurate in a load of places.
