  • Murder At The U Series

    I think ESPN did any excellent job highlighting Miami Dade County Police Departments mishandling of this case.

After hearing an unbiased report from 20/20 I changed my mind that it was Rashawn. Keep in mind I listened to 30 for 30 first and that’s what made me think it was Rashawn. I think you breezed over the Haitian g... more

  • Irresponsible Journalism murder at the U

    So while yall are patting your selves of the backs for feeling like you moved a case forward the evidence that exists is really weak. You suing Dade County seems like it forced them to arrest a suspect. But he’s not a good suspect. He’s just relatively better than perhaps the next best one. Unfortunately he will probably get convicted just cause he’s accused and they I will listen to the next podcast about the question to exonerate him. I hope they have more than some suspicious activity that... more

    Love your podcasts. But the words are powerful enough. Why do you need this silly music constantly in the background? It is distracting and not needed. Let the words tell the story.
