  • Wish I could give negative stars

    I wish Tony and his buddies would quit lying and laughing sarcastically. They literally have no respect for Abby & Libby.

  • Brilliant Commentary

    Tony is passionate. It is contagious. As much as it is crime news and commentary it is eloquent theatre and I love it.

  • Delphi A.K.A. Uneducated dribble

    This show is complete garbage and everyone on it sounds ignorant AF including the bumbling idiot Bob Motta. You are spreading lies! I feel stupider for having listened.

    If it's not already obvious Do Not Recommend!

  • Waste of time

    Stacy Cole is embarrassingly uninformed. It’s mind-blowing that she is allowed to voice her opinion regarding topics that she has absolutely no clue about. Easily the worst “news” show I have ever listened to. Do not recommend.

  • A Rare Gem in the True Crime Genre

    If you’re tired of sensationalist storytelling, dramatic voiceovers, and biased narratives that plague so much of the true crime space, this podcast is a welcome departure.

    Intelligent, honest, and grounded, it offers a clear-eyed look at complex cases without falling into the trap of exploitation or theatrics. The hosts do their homework. Research is thorough, sources are clearly cited, and speculation is kept in check. You get the facts, the context, and the humanity- without the showboating.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patrick Clancy Said His Wife Looked Like WHAT?!
Q: Can she be guilty and sick at the same time?
Yes, the hosts and expert discuss that a psychotic episode can co-occur with actions that are legally framed as crimes, complicating both culpability and treatment considerations.
Did Officials Fail Both Nolan Wells AND The Siders Kids?
Q: What is the impact of an early statement by law enforcement on an ongoing investigation?
It can create a bias toward a particular narrative, potentially diverting resources and influencing witnesses and agencies to follow that suggested path rather than exploring all possibilities.
Nolan Wells' Phone Showed His Mother WHAT?!
Q: What impact can a premature official statement have on the investigation?
It can create a chilling effect, push investigators toward a preferred narrative, and hinder objective inquiry by signaling expectations to collaborating agencies, potentially delaying or biasing critical steps like interviews and search warrants.
How Did The Anna Kepner Case Go From Sealed Juvenile Court To Federal Murder Charges?
Q: Why would the defense agree to have the case moved from juvenile to adult court?
The guests suggest reasons such as belief that adult counsel might handle homicide cases more effectively, weighing the risk of intensive sentencing exposure against the possibility of a more favorable outcome in an adult system, and the belief that the federal prosecutors' case could be more persuasive, potentially pressuring a plea.
Does A Seven-Day Trial Estimate Mean The Anna Kepner Case Is Strong Or Thin?
Q: Eric, what are those moves telling you about how they plan to actually try this case and defend their client?
The defense appears to be protecting their client by avoiding courtroom exposure for now, potentially laying groundwork for a future mental-health oriented defense and cautious handling of the public narrative while they review the evidence file.
