  • My go to podcast!

    Crime Weekly is one of the podcasts I keep coming back to. The research they do is amazing, and you can tell they actually care about getting the details right.

    Stephanie and Derrick have great chemistry and the conversations feel real, like the same things the rest of us are thinking while listening. I’ve definitely caught myself responding out loud while driving like I’m part of the conversation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 Ep341: The Case That Doesn’t Add Up | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 3)
Q: What do you think about this series of events that Pat laid out during the reenactment?
There are two sides to every story, and though Pat might have been justified in firing the initial shots, the continued firing raises the question of whether lethal force was necessary.
S3 Ep335: Cardi B’s Viral Court Testimony
Q: So here's my question from a law standpoint, because I've been watching the trial and I've been wondering...
It's not illegal to turn around and say, like, get the hell away from me, bitch. Like, it's not illegal to call people names.
S3 Ep336: Six Shots, Six Minutes | The Unanswered Death of Christian Griggs (Part 1)
Q: What was the situation like for Christian Griggs before the shooting?
Christian was in a complicated custody situation with his estranged wife, struggling to maintain his relationship with his daughter amidst ongoing familial tensions.
S3 Ep333: Baby Emmanuel’s Parents Charged With Murder
Q: What do you think about Rebecca's possible culpability?
If she cooperates and provides credible evidence against Jake, she might get a deal, but her involvement in the false kidnapping could complicate her case.
S3 Ep334: Amy Bradley: Our Interview with Brad Bradley (Part 5)
Q: What other theories do you believe could have happened to Amy?
My theory is that after being last seen with Yellow, she was handed to an accomplice and taken off the ship through service elevators before being smuggled away.
