  • Timely but not “both sides”

    Timely coverage of ongoing cases. The host says he spent his first 10 years of his career as a prosecutor before going into private practice as a defense attorney. It seems like he’s doing more. Podcast than defense, he definitely has prosecution take on everything, maybe changed practice but still has a heart of a prosecutor —which is fine, but he presents himself as looking at everything from both sides and that’s not really accurate. His personal bias is prevalent in his commentary.

  • Perfect current crime discussions!

    I just started listening to Josh this past week and I have to say, I’ve dug in and listened to Clancy episodes that were so good I went back to older ones! Josh and the guests he brings on are fantastic. I sincerely appreciate his point of view and explanation on everything. He also has a fantastic and soothing voice so, great to actually hear/listen to as well! 💁🏻‍♀️😎

  • Excellent True Crime Coverage with a Slight Dusting of Snark

    Josh Ritter and his entire team provides an excellent mostly unbiased podcast of current true crime stories. He occasionally throws some snarky shade in there I am assuming to prove he isn’t AI. In any case, his coverage is excellent and if he himself doesn’t understand an issue, he phones a friend to get their perspective. I find it refreshing that he covers true crime without becoming political. Thank you Josh and team for your coverage.

  • Great show

    I subscribe to a lot of true crime shows, but this is my absolute favorite-fair, informative and, at times, even funny, but never in a mean or disrespectful way. If you want to learn and keep informed, definitely the show for you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

True Crime Q&A: Nancy Guthrie, Michael Jackson, Alex Murdaugh, Blaise Taylor, Rex Heuermann & More
Q: Is there ever a time when a defense attorney must report what they know if a client admits to wrongdoing?
No universal duty to report, due to attorney-client privilege, except in limited exceptions such as preventing imminent harm or future crimes, making it a narrow, highly regulated area.
Nancy Guthrie: Did TMZ Just Get a Real Break in the Case?
Q: Did you talk to Harvey about whether the ransom notes and supposed video seem legitimate to you?
Ruiz expresses cautious optimism but remains skeptical, indicating that the legitimacy is possible but far from confirmed and that timing and corroboration will be decisive.
Can the FBI Trust Rex Heuermann? Prosecutor Who Took on Serial Killers Explains Sentencing
Q: Should investigators trust anything Rex Heuermann tells the FBI in interviews?
They conclude that psychopathic individuals are primarily liars, so trust should be cautious; however, the interviews could still yield valuable behavioral or criminological insights that help inform future investigations, even if the person is not fully truthful.
Can the FBI Trust Rex Heuermann? Prosecutor Who Took on Serial Killers Explains Sentencing
Q: Is a guilty plea and the absence of a trial still 'justice' for victims' families?
The hosts acknowledge that while a trial offers drama and potential insights, a plea can be more respectful to victims' families by avoiding prolonged proceedings and appellate back-and-forth, though some viewers might crave the spectacle and evidence that a trial would provide.
George Pino Found Not Guilty: Did The Jury Get It Right? Plus, Karmelo Anthony & Alex Murdaugh
Q: What are your thoughts on whether the jury got it right or missed something here?
Dave Aronberg explains that the jury likely weighed the lack of clear proof of impairment and the defense's brain-injury theory against the prosecution's theories, and ultimately found reasonable doubt sufficient to acquit.
