In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim.

Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she ... more

4.4 out of 5 stars from 1.9k ratings
  • Important issue poorly reported

    This was not well-reported and a shame for it. It felt more like advocacy than objective reporting.

  • Blind Plea

    Deven’s story was interesting. I like that the podcast shared her story while also educating about the intricacies of self-defense with the dynamic of domestic violence. I wish that the counter arguments that came up throughout the podcast were explored more. Liz would bring them up then immediately shut them down with kind of a “ugh I don’t think that happened/Deven said that didn’t happen, so it didn’t happen” instead of exploring if the surrounding factors indicate whether it was true or fals... more

  • Good storyline!

    The storyline and the telling of the story are put together very well. The reason I only give 3 stars is because the episode John, Barry, J and some other episodes have some false information! I can’t tell if it was political or if the fact checker just didn’t actually research! Definitely seems like liberal fake talking points though! Otherwise this is a good podcast!

  • Very Moving Story

    This was a very detailed, superbly reported, incredibly emotional story about a woman whose color in rural Alabama determined the outcome of killing her boyfriend after years of horrific abuse. I’ve heard this story many times before, but Liz Flock does an excellent job telling Devon’s gut wrenching experience . I found it a bit long and the bonus episodes did not add anything to the story. I actually found them repetitive and just a way for the listener to pay for a subscription. I resent being... more

    All the things John would say on night of his death remind me exactly of what my ex would say in his drunken rage’s.

    Thank god I finally left. My heart goes out to Deven.

Q: Is there a moment when we can identify that someone is gone forever?
It's difficult to pinpoint the exact moment of death, as it can feel like a gradual process with no clear line.
Listen Now: Alive with Steve Burns
Q: What is hospice and palliative care?
Hospice focuses on living the rest of life comfortably, primarily used when one is close to death, while palliative care manages symptoms for chronic illnesses from the point of diagnosis.
Listen Now: Happier with Gretchen Rubin
Q: What do you consider to be the best parenting advice or suggestions that you think all new mothers should know?
The best parenting advice includes little nuggets of wisdom that may not seem significant at first but can be incredibly helpful in practice, like not checking the clock when waking up for a feed.
Introducing: When It Clicked
Q: What does true accountability mean to you, and how can our prison system actually help people choose a different path?
True accountability begins with education, understanding the value of one's actions, and creating mental culpability. Punishment alone doesn't foster accountability; a deeper understanding of values is necessary.
Bonus: Liz Wrote a Book!
Q: How do we redefine violence?
The Green Gang uses shame as a tool to confront corruption in their communities, flipping societal expectations.
