  • “Journalism”?

    Been a listener for about a year and I’ll never be listening to this podcast again. I know the Clancy trial is a very polarizing one and I’m no stranger to having discussions with family/friends over conflicting views, but several things mentioned in this recent episode are just inaccurate. For anyone who’s been following the case and watching the trial (like journalists who are commenting on it should be) many of these criticisms and weird remarks could be easily disproven. Really disappointing... more

    Updating to say: NOT ONE “allegedly” was used for these case updates. The host pitches social media updates from supposed family members that are unverified as evidence in multiple case updates. Unfollowing this podcast if this continues in future episodes. This is not journalism.

    This episode is awful and it makes me miss Briana so much. This rando lawyer and host share so much speculation, opinion, and conspiracy it’s crazy. The Ohio updates seem like a strange choice for true crime AZ also…... more

    Briana, please don’t lead your sources with your opinions anymore. Otherwise, I’m interested in what’s happening in AZ and this podcast has had some interesting material.

    Not impressed with the research. The host let someone come on and just say whatever his hypothesis is without any push back. It is a heavy subject not the actual facts used.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The lone survivor of Lori Vallow's murder plot, Emily Pike case, and more
Q: Have you ever gotten an explanation or have any idea why they wanted to shoot you?
Boudreaux says he has his own opinion, but the people who could explain the motive are unlikely to speak. He is grateful the attempt failed and hopes to encourage better solutions.
The lone survivor of Lori Vallow's murder plot, Emily Pike case, and more
Q: What does Unthinkable mean?
Boudreaux says the events seemed too bizarre to be real, and it was unthinkable to him that his life would lead to being targeted for murder.
The Botched Execution of Christa Pike & the Tylenol Murders Cold Case
Q: How does secrecy around execution drugs impact accountability?
Officials argue secrecy protects professionals, but reporters argue it hinders public oversight and the ability to evaluate or challenge the methods used in executions.
Lindsay Clancy trial updates, & a 92-year-old admits to wife's murder
Q: How can a judge remove a juror during deliberations, and what grounds would justify such an action?
Removal is rare and requires significant justification, such as a juror's failure to follow instructions, demonstrated bias, or considering evidence they should ignore; it is an extraordinary remedy with heavy scrutiny to prevent prejudice or coercion.
Lindsay Clancy trial updates, an ex on fire, & a missing grandma mystery
Q: Could Lindsay Clancy be found not guilty by reason of insanity, and what would happen then?
If acquitted on criminal responsibility, she would likely be committed to a high-security or psychiatric facility rather than walking free, similar to Andrea Yates' case, reflecting the ongoing legal and ethical debates around mental health and accountability in extreme cases.
