  • I call malarkey to the defense!! Talk about lying.

    The jurors got out on a Friday and had the whole weekend to deliberate. It was not a 21/2 hour deliberation. Ask the jurors !!!

  • Can’t Listen

    When I listen to a podcast, and the host says “um,” “you know,” and “like” over and over I CANNOT listen to another word. So annoying. I turned it off immediately.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Javeayah Harris Case: What Evidence Could Investigators Still Find?
Q: Can investigators tell us when she was killed?
The timeline is anchored by identifying the last living moment and aligning that with digital records and the sequence of events surrounding the discovery, then shifting to forensic analysis to narrow down the window.
Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial: Another Andrea Yates?
Q: Before the trial even begins, what should we be watching for?
Pat Lopez emphasizes the importance of how Lindsay is seated, her affect, and the visual cues that can shape juror perception, especially given her wheelchair and the potential for automatic empathy or sympathy.
Siders Rescue: How Did 16 Kids Slip Through the Cracks?
Q: What can communities do to prevent future cases?
Encourage vigilant reporting, ensure better inter-agency communication, and invest in long-term support structures that monitor at-risk families and provide access to resources.
Siders Rescue: How Did 16 Kids Slip Through the Cracks?
Q: What are the immediate needs for the children once rescued?
Therapy, nutrition, medical care, specialized education, and wraparound services to address trauma, development, and ongoing family and community support.
Siders Rescue: How Did 16 Kids Slip Through the Cracks?
Q: What factors allowed this case to remain hidden for so long?
The expert points to a combination of rural isolation, lack of outside contact, limited school interaction, and complex family dynamics that hindered detection, along with systemic gaps in checks like homeschooling registration.
