I just forwarded this podcast to my daughter, who also loves true crime series, and this is what I said…”Promise me that you will listen to this all the way through. To every last word. It is the best all around series I’ve heard in YEARS!!! Bringing up all kinds of thoughts, feelings and opinions and surprising me along the way.” I love this show and these people, Bobby and Jermaine. I Want to visit the church with Pastor Jermaine. That’s how moved I was here.
These two men are a remarkable example of how honesty and forgiveness can turn lives around. My heart is so full of hope after hearing Bobby and Jermaine share their journeys. I wish them both every good thing life has to offer.
Season 2 is an incredible story of mistakes, resilience, forgiveness, faith, and unlikely friendship. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first season was fine. Ads, retelling the same thing every episode, but ok. Second season could have been told in 2 episodes. I swear they slowed their voices down in a couple episodes to stretch it out. Nancy Glass’ verbally drawn out and manipulative reporting in the 2nd season feels like a pity appeal and cheapens their stories. It’s really unfortunate.
Wow I’ve listened to countless true crime podcasts, including many about wrongful convictions similar to this one, but I’ve never come across someone as remarkable as this man. He is truly unique—an extraordinary human being the world needs more of right now.
This isn’t just a story of a wrongful conviction and redemption. It’s a story about hope, resilience, and humanity. It reminds all of us that there are still genuinely incredible people in this world.
Thank you for giving us that hope, Je... more
