  • Good but..

    The first season is the only one I’ve listened to so far. I think it started off strong but quickly deteriorated. When the host talks to people she is very quick to assign them emotions, ask them incredibly leading questions, and make herself and her presence way to prominent a part of the story.

  • Murder Most Foul

    I have stumbled across this podcast now all these years later (through a link via The Narcissists Playbook )

    this is a gripping true story horrific - I just keep saying over and over to myself Why Why Why ?

    and how come someone can commit murder and then just be allowed to resume their life as though nothing occurred !?

    Astounding that this person is free to live their life - while the friends and relatives live a life sentence that’s never ending

  • As near to a Jury experience as you’ll get on a Podcast

    Outstanding insight. Loved how the Presenter explained the more difficult aspects and liked how she didn’t play full interview until the evidence had been presented in Court

    I really hope similar Podcasts are produced

  • Unparalleled

    Isla’s commitment from age 22 till the end of this trial is unparalleled. Most journalists, even good ones, even excellent ones, would’ve let go and moved on. Isla held steady and brought us an amazing opportunity to hear Justice speaking for Herself , witness by witness, expert by expert, hour by hour.
