A taillight. A skull fracture. A cannon. The defense calls ARCCA’s Dr. Daniel Wolfe and Dr. Andrew Rentschler to challenge the state’s case with science, testing whether a thrown glass, not a car, caused the damage. Their findings? Not a smoking gun,... more

    What a great view into the pure corruption and propaganda pushed by the media. Every single excuse on why the authorities had nothing to do with the death only the woman Karen Ried! She’s the problem and nothing else can happen. Laced propaganda really!

  • Bias much?

    I thought this podcast would be more journalism focused, but the host and some of the commentators are full of biased opinions, I almost gave up on early season 1 because of some of the comments trying to point in a direction of the defendant being quilt even though the first trial haven’t even started being explained. I was listening to another podcast on P. Diddy’s trial and the difference on the approach was huge. I’m listening in retrospect, I know Karen was already acquitted from the murde... more

  • Couldn’t stop listening

    Loved the details and explanations- thought the hosts were great and they pieced together aspects of the case that took listeners through the events in a more digestible format. This one has twists and turns and shows all the angles! Binge-worthy

  • This app is a scam

    Do NOT download - I downloaded and forgot about it and they charged me for a couple of months. Not a huge deal - but what was so annoying is that when I went to listen to this podcast it said I couldn’t and sent me to their website to listen but didn’t recognize my account. Honestly not great reporting and a TOTAL scam of a product. Save your money.
