    Decent episode, but it was pretty annoying that it sounds like you’re saying “Alec” instead of Alex.

  • Better before

    I started listening because of the outstanding reporting on the Karen read case. I stopped subscribing to crime junkie many years ago because it is the same script and narration all the time.

We want new cases, current cases, and Brandy’s research back. It seems to be this way with so many podcasts who get boug... more

Beyond the Jury Box: Jamie Snow
Q: What role did witnesses and informants play in the case, and how might undisclosed deals have affected testimony?

He maintains his innocence, points to a lack of fair process, and advocates for DNA testing and a new trial to reexamine the evidence.
