United Kingdom24 days ago - Re: Martin’s comments in the Delroy Grant episode.
The true daichitomy which jurors are bound to consider is that of guilty or not guilty. Innocence does not come into it. If a juror is not convinced to a high enough degree to convict the accused of a crime it does not mean that they have found that person to be innocent and it is misleading for you to say so.
Apple Podcasts4Tia CheUnited Kingdoma month ago - Great podcast but spoiled by misogyny
Really great podcast but the regular misogynistic tone which is threaded throughout the episodes is not ok. Whether it being the police they bring in for comment who seemingly refuse to acknowledge the female host and only speak to the male host, or the terrible reference to a female BBC journalist who was walking down the street ‘swinging her handbag’ who they say was probably late to court because she was out shopping. Not ok-do better please.
Apple Podcasts3CLCcccCharlotteUnited Kingdom4 months ago - A bit of a let down
Finding this podcast so very basic unfortunately . Nothing new to added to cases which have been covered thousands of times. You could do a quick google search yourself on any of these cases and discover more info.
Also, the who thing sound’s completely rehearsed-not conversational/candid, my guess is it’s read from script. And the information shared, especially in the Myra Hindley episode, I found to be incorrect. A lot of things mentioned about the case were wrong.
It’s a shame because I mu... more
