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 c... more

  • Great Podcast

    Super sad story another woman who was victimized by a man and then the judicial system. Glad that podcasters are continuing to bring this problem into the light.

  • Alabama prison system is such a scam

    I used to live in a neighboring county to Shelby Cty Alabama. I’m not surprised by the story but deeply saddened by it. I’m also angry at the cop who decided to believe the white girl on the phone instead of the evidence in front of him. Acab for real.

  • 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!
