  • Adnan case

    This was awful. You guys continuously gave everyone but Adnan the benefit of the doubt. The next time you do such a high profile case, perhaps try a little harder to hide your bias.

  • WM3

    You two trying to present a case that the WM3 might really be guilty is revolting. Continuing to stand up for police/prosecution incompetence is disgraceful.

  • Commercial Volume, Holy Hell

    I found this podcast reading about the WM3. Binged that case then started from the beginning. I really enjoy the show!

    But FFS is there something that can be done about the commercial volume? I’m listening to the show at a normal volume and then with no transition have some idiot screaming in my ear about a car dealership or online gambling.

  • Occasional disingenuous arguments can make it weird

    Love the friendship and banter between Brett and Alice, and they have great voices for podcast. I appreciate how well-researched each case seems. This is one of my comfort shows.

    But every once in a while, to further convince you of their theory (regardless of whether there is already plenty of evidence) they’ll act like something a suspect did is way beyond human logic, and proves their guilt.

    For example, I’m currently listening to the 2nd episode about Jade Beasley. Alice’s argument that it... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

362. The Real Prosecutors on Songbird Road
Q: Why were diary entries or fingernail scrapings not introduced or tested?
The diaries would have muddied the narrative and required too much context, risking confusion and sympathy for the defendant over the core evidence; fingernail scrapings were not tested due to prior substantial DNA support and lab backlog considerations, plus strategic decisions about what was necessary for conviction.
362. The Real Prosecutors on Songbird Road
Q: What was the most surprising moment or decision during the trial?
The most surprising moment was the decision to introduce the bite-mark testimony under strict limitations, balancing evidentiary risk with the need to present a complete and compelling timeline for the jury.
362. The Real Prosecutors on Songbird Road
Q: How do you deal with the pressure of national attention in a case like this?
We relied on our experience, stayed focused on the facts, and kept our oath to seek justice rather than chase headlines, using that pressure to reinforce our commitment rather than derail our approach.
357. The Murder of Jade Beasley Part 1 of 5 -- Songbird
Q: Has the defendant ever surprised you or managed to fool you in questioning?
The guests explain that defendants often think they can pull one over investigators, but experienced prosecutors rely on evidence and prepared questions to expose lies, noting that even seemingly credible denials can crumble under follow-up questions.
BONUS: Legal Briefs: Julia Cowley on the Nancy Guthrie case
Q: Is there a risk that multi-jurisdictional operations create turf wars or conflicts?
From my experience, turf wars are not the norm; the reality is that strong relationships and clear communication enable one investigation across jurisdictions, though public perception can still create myths about competition.
