  • Disappointed

    I was really hoping you’d cover the Lindsay Clancy case but I am so disappointed. Not only do you get the names wrong but some of the facts discussed are missed, or slightly incorrect. I love that you guys agree, the investigation was botched, and would love a corrected episode with correct names and more reading into the details and tiny timeframe window, and an analysis of the husbands behavior further. I think this episode could have been so much better but felt half-assed.

  • Actually irresponsible reporting

    This podcast blatantly spreads misinformation, doesn’t do research at all. Not sure how Wondery is still supporting them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#638: 638|Archdiocese of NY $800Million Settlemen
Q: And if that's the case, there should be an investigation, if they're credibly accused, right?
Clemente agrees that credible accusations should prompt investigation, but explains that cases can be difficult when reports come years later and statutes of limitations have expired. He describes how an investigation in his own case found two current victims and led to O'Hara's arrest and prosecution.
#638: 638|Archdiocese of NY $800Million Settlemen
Q: Was that a difficult thing to do, to get everybody to agree to this?
Clemente says some survivors felt the proposed amount was inadequate after decades without justice, and that legal fees would reduce individual compensation. He explains that an arbitrator would assess claims using a points-based system to determine how the settlement is divided.
#637: 637| O.J. Simpson: Newly Unsealed Evidence Raises New Questions
Q: When somebody's asking another person to lie about their whereabouts during a murder, that's a sign there's something wrong.
Clemente says asking for a false alibi is an admission of guilt because an innocent person would have evidence showing where they actually were.
#637: 637| O.J. Simpson: Newly Unsealed Evidence Raises New Questions
Q: Jim, I'm actually, I've long been struck by the fact that you have felt that O.J. Simpson didn't or couldn't act alone. Why?
Clemente points to the wounds on Ron Goldman's legs, which he says indicate someone restrained Goldman, and argues that Simpson planned the murders and may have had help.
#636: 636|Lindsey Clancy- Did she murder her children?
Q: What do you think about that, Kathy?
Mello says observers cannot reliably judge Patrick's behavior without knowing his emotional baseline, since reactions that seem unnatural to others may be typical for him.
