  • Why pay If I get ads

    I am paying for the subscription but I am still getting ads in some episodes, if there some special episodes that are not included in the subscription, then we need to be aware of them in the description of the episode, hate ads !

    edit: The Mary Day episode is cut short before the ending

    I'm a subscriber and wonder if I'm getting my money's worth these days. I guess I've heard all the good old ones and I've already heard the new ones from watching cable.

  • Too squelchy

    Overall, a well done series. However, the close in recording on crying is unnecessary. In a way it’s like a camera close up on a crying person. No need, exploitative in fact. Same for sounds of crying. Hearing it is not needed to know a person is crying. Also, some people wear headphones, so the sounds of squelch are louder still.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside D4vd's Preliminary Hearing in Murder Case
Q: What are the key pieces of evidence shaping expectations for the trial, and how might the defense respond?
Key evidence includes graphic photos, forensic expert testimony about the location and manner of the dismemberment, vehicle tracking data, and the alleged use of aliases to acquire murder-related supplies. The defense may challenge admissibility, interpretations of the blood evidence, and the credibility of witnesses, while also anticipating potential arguments around pretrial publicity and the possibility of a negotiated plea.
Inside D4vd's Preliminary Hearing in Murder Case
Q: What is the standard for a preliminary hearing in California and how does it differ from a full trial?
The hosts explain that prelims require only a preponderance of the evidence to decide if there is enough basis to move forward to trial, a much lower threshold than beyond a reasonable doubt. In this case, the emphasis is on whether the presented evidence supports proceeding to trial rather than resolving guilt.
Post Mortem | The Footprint Evidence
Q: What was he like during that interrogation?
He appears calm and subdued, not showing overt emotion or immediately challenging the investigators, which raises questions about his state of mind under questioning.
Post Mortem | The Footprint Evidence
Q: Do you know what we have in your DNA?
The suspect responds with uncertainty, indicating he cannot recall or affirm knowledge about DNA findings, while investigators persist in pursuing genetic linkage to the crime scene.
Inside the Sentencing of the GIlgo Beach Serial Killer
Q: Can you tell me, can you give me an idea of how unusual this is from a legal perspective? Why do you think he decides to take a plea?
The timing was surprising, but with such strong evidence and repeated pre-trial losses, pleading guilty saves time and resources for both sides and spares the defendant from detailing the gory specifics on a trial; it also allows the defense to frame the outcome as efficient closure for the families.
