Child Abuse Trials

Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn't commit, or imagine your child's killer is still on the loose even though there's enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.

  • THE ADS??

    I understand that ads are a necessity but you have no reason for making them so long. Why are these ads the size of novels??? This podcast has turned into ads with a sprinkle of true crime stories.

  • Ruined me for all other true crime podcasts 😩

    No one else can measure up truly! I have been listening from the very beginning. I have tried every true crime podcast out there, and Court Junkie is by far my favorite. The research, the delivery, the production value - everything is right. I remember seeing her husband post about it on reddit years ago, and even then being a bit starstruck haha
