    Wanted to listen to past seasons but some how some way the episodes are mismatched. Titles do not reflect content. Might want to clean this up. Disappointed and disappointing

  • Disappointing

    Started off okay and at first I was very excited to listen from a profiler’s pov but the bias is ridiculous. The research isn’t as deep either and I even find other podcasts with regular folks present better information and also provide objectivity before they chime in. Candice is very ‘me me me’ and takes away the essence of the episode. Also, the way she discusses mental illnesses can be so stigmatising, it’s appalling.

    Not for me anymore, sadly.

  • HE’S A KILLER! DUH!

    She is super into her view point and her view point only, and there is no room for humanity. I can only take so much of “HE’S A KILLER! DUH!” She has a very condescending attitude and I feel like having a conversation with her would be like banging your head against a wall.

    This podcast lost me after this episode. It’s disgusting how she plants her as a victim when SHE murdered innocent children. She made many, many choices to take another route & didn’t. It’s also gross that she blames the husband for an action he didn’t commit.

Bauerlein emphasized the importance of chronology in understanding the case, highlighting how Murdaugh's addiction and financial misdeeds evolved over time, leading to the tragic events.
Alex Murdaugh: A Southern Legacy of Murder & Mendacity
Q: What do you think was really driving Alex desperation, power, something else?

Luigi Mangione: Discussing the Latest with Law & Crime's Jesse Weber
