    Love this podcast which is hosted by two moms who are smart, funny, and respectful of the victims and their families. They choose fascinating cases and convey them well.

    The stories themselves are interesting and have a but the delivery makes the podcast difficult to stay engaged with. Most episodes sound like the hosts are simply reading directly from a script, with very little natural dialogue, discussion, or back and forth conversation. I think the podcast would be much more engaging if the hosts loosened up the format and incorporated more natural conversation, reactions, and discussion rather than just reading a prepared script.

Faith Hedgepeth: What to Know About the Murder Trial
Q: What evidence links Miguel Salguero Olivares to Faith Hedgepeth's death, and what does the defense dispute?
Prosecutors point to DNA recovered from Faith and objects in the apartment, including a match to the profile from the crime scene, as well as Olivares's palm and thumb prints on a wine bottle. The defense argues that DNA cannot establish when or how it was deposited, challenges the handling and interpretation of evidence, and emphasizes the missing bathroom blood sample.
