For one mother, believing the truth cost her everything.

After a contentious divorce, Cindy was ready to begin again. To her surprise, she found a new partner, Kenny. Days after their engagement came a devastating allegation that Kenny abused her 9-year-old son.

  • Captivating

    While there is some repetitiveness, this is a story worth listening to. Full of coercive control, manipulation, lies, deceit, and fighting for what is right against a system with a judge who has confirmation bias. The worst part is the kids have been mentally abused by their dad.

  • Couldn’t stop listening once I started.

    This was such a crazy story. Unbelievable miscarriage of justice towards Cindy and Kenny. It is no wonder most of the true crime shows I watch a spouse kills their spouse due to a custody battle. These courts are in over their head.

  • Unbelievable

    People need to go to JAIL!!! The idiot DFS lady Karmella?, gramma, Steve and his wife, judge Hoke. That is only way you stop this from happening, let’s go prosecutors!!!! It was clear from audio what was happening, they are either dumb or were bribed. My heart breaks soooo much for Cindy and Kenny, I hope with all my being that they find peace and live the happiest of lives.

  • A bit repetitive

    I like season 3 of the podcast, but the episodes are a bit of a slog. Way too repetitive, probably could have been half as long

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q & A | BONUS | Season 3
Q: What's next in Cindy's fight to get her kids back?
The custody case remains in Colorado's court system, and Cindy is waiting for permission to get her twin boys back. The hosts say the outcome is uncertain, and that her adult daughter is no longer subject to family court.
Q & A | BONUS | Season 3
Q: Could Cindy's ex Steve have been criminally prosecuted for what he did?
Nancy Glass says she thinks Steve could have been prosecuted, but he was not. District attorney Matt Carson explains that prosecuting him would have required another jurisdiction to take the case, and that proving it beyond a reasonable doubt would have been difficult.
The Other Shoe | EP 2 | Season 3
Q: So how do you tell your new boyfriend that you're involved in a nasty lawsuit with your ex-husband, disputing the split of a $90 million profit?
Cindy describes the nerve-wracking process of disclosing the scope of the litigation and the stakes involved, emphasizing the emotional weight and fear of how he might react, but ultimately choosing transparency to build trust.
Redemption | BONUS | Season 2
Q: Were there any questions that you asked him that he just refused to answer?
No, he was completely open. He answered everything and stayed in the moment, even when the questions were painful.
Equal Justice | EP 7 | Season 2
Q: What is the core issue at the heart of Jermaine Hudson's case?
The core issue is the use of non-unanimous juries in Louisiana, which allowed convictions with only 10 of 12 jurors agreeing, based on a historically racist framework, leading to wrongful convictions and the need for a reexamination of past cases.
