  • Informative and entertaining!

    I found Brother Counsel by listening to a podcast where he was a guest panelist discussing the Karen Read trial. Since then I’ve started following his YouTube page and now podcast. He picks apart testimony and dumbs things down for us laypeople. Highly recommend!! I’m hoping he cover the Rex Heuermann case next!!!
