  • Refreshing view of True Crime

    These two prosecutors have an excellent rapport between them, and they bring a fresh perspective to true crime stories. As prosecutors, they stand for the victims and know the bull that defendants try to get away with. And they are pretty fair in their approach.

  • Smart, authentic and educational

    I have no idea how I ended up listening to this show the first time, because I had thought of true crime as ghoulish, but the perspective of real life prosecutors is so entirely different. I love how they break down cases in their ‘if you believe this happened, you’d also have to believe that…’ method. It has sort of expanded my brain.

  • Brilliant!

    Question for the hosts, if you had to defend ( I know you’re prosecutors, but humor me :) ) one of the West Memphis 3 back in the original trial, which would it be and why?

    I found this podcast looking for coverage on the West Memphis 3 case. The coverage of the case is the best I’ve heard so far. They cover every detail, they discuss in depth all the facts, every theory, every suspect. I have been following this case for years and had strong opinions on the case. Bret and Alice changed some ... more

  • My favorite true crime podcast, hands down!

    I have been listening to The Prosecutors since it began and it has been my go-to true crime podcast ever since. I will say True Crime Garage was my favorite before, but this one has surpassed that one mainly because Brett and Alice are so great at what they do - they have perfected the combination of mysteries and true crime with their legal expertise, and I love hearing their theories. I look forward to each week. Being a paralegal may have something to do with that, but I learn so much from li... more

  • Phony host Brett

    Used to be good analysis of complicated cases. Now it’s just trying to be cuter than the other, with stupid comedy bits and time killers. Amazingly, a show that has because one big cliché makes fun of the way other true crime shows are produced.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
BONUS: Legal Briefs: Julia Cowley on the Nancy Guthrie case
Q: How quickly would the Behavioral Analysis Unit be brought in, and how early would profiling start?
BAU is brought in early in many cases, especially those with complex behavioral components; profiling starts with gathering data (crime scene photos, lab reports, victimology) and evolves as new information comes in, but it's often a gradual, collaborative process.
BONUS: Legal Briefs: Julia Cowley on the Nancy Guthrie case
Q: Can you talk through when the FBI becomes involved in a case like this?
Involvement typically begins when invited by state or local authorities or when the case involves elements like interstate activity, significant digital evidence, or the potential for federal jurisdiction; it's about supporting, not taking over, and depends on relationships and the specifics of the case.
350. The Isdal Woman Part 5
Q: How often does your podcast life come up in your day-to-day life?
It comes up regularly, especially since moving to a new city where people Google my name, and coworkers frequently reference it.
347. The Isdal Woman Part 2
Q: What is the craziest thing that has ever happened to you in court?
Brett shares a story about how he once arrested the wrong person, who matched the description of a suspect but turned out to be innocent after fingerprint verification.
