Just had to call out Dateline for the misleading reporting. Thank you for playing the clip of the judge calling out the defense team. I can depend on you to actually tell the full story. Thank you!

Love the podcast but I prefer to use Dick Harpootlian’s nickname from high school . . . Poot

Mandy, Liz, David and team do an awesome job of bringing recent crime and corruption to the public’s attention in an interesting and insightful way. This and Cup of Justice are the only true crime podcasts I listen to anymore because they are the only ones putting their lives on the line to make a real difference. This podcast is compelling and their mission and bravery are commendable. I look forward to every week’s episode.

I’ve been a faithful listener since 2021 when it was still MMP and this is the one podcast I hope doesn’t go anywhere. I love their mission, the research, narration, witty analogies, there’s nothing I would change except maybe clone the whole team so the episodes could come out like twice a week 😁
