  • Dr murderer

    I’m surprised you are shocked that a surgeon would murder his ex and her husband. I’ve listened to several podcasts about abusive, murderous Doctors. Just because they are intelligent and educated doesn’t mean that they are good people.

  • The Outdated Racial Caste System, USA and Blanca

    When Blanca shows such respect for people who were so destructive, but probably wouldn’t show that same respect for the people who built South Carolina and USA (people of African descent), it’s a sad testament to how broken the USA is.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Judge Denies Stand Your Ground Defense in Killing of Scott Spivey
Q: What is the Stand Your Ground shield and how does it affect civil immunity?
The shield is civil immunity that can bar civil litigation if it applies, but a judge's ruling can deny it in a civil context, potentially allowing civil claims to proceed or leading to criminal considerations if the shield no longer applies.
Updates on Murdaugh Appeal and Tepe Murders
Q: How did law enforcement handle the investigation into the Tepe murders?
Law enforcement acted quickly, focusing on the victimology to identify McKee as a suspect due to his history with Monique.
