Unrestorable
iHeartPodcastsOn a January night in 1995, 18-year-old Christa Pike and two other teenagers lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer to a secluded area near the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. They taunted, beat, and slashed Colleen, carving a pentagram into her chest, before Christa picked up a piece of concrete and smashed Colleen’s skull, killing her. Those salacious details stood out during a national Satanic P... more

- Insane logic
I gave 3 stars because I like to hear all different view points and it’s interesting but this is insane. By the logic used in this podcast I wonder if we should ever lock someone up ever? They keep saying it doesn’t make the victim whole- well duh! The crime can’t be undone! They make it sound like locking people up doesn’t solve a problem. It does- it gets criminals off the streets. Also I expect this podcast wouldn’t exist if the roles were reversed and it was a 18 year old boy who committed t... more

United Statesa month ago - Apologia for Murderers
If you’re looking for every conceivable excuse to overlook a premeditated, vicious torture and murder, this is the podcast for you.
According to one of the participants, there is no such thing as an evil human being. One can only wonder at that idiocy.
I’m quite sure Colleen didn’t want to be beaten to death. I’m quite sure she pleased for her life to no avail. Yet I’m supposed to be sympathetic to her murderer’s pleas for her life?
Seriously?
Apple Podcasts1emelksUnited Statesa month ago - 🙄
Aww crista had a pet turtle. I bet her victim would have loved living long enough to have a pet. Cry me a river. Seriously have zero sympathy for anyone in prison for murder. They don’t deserve anything nice, fun or humane for that matter. The two reporters sitting in that murdered girls mommas house…yall are gross. You can hear, in their voices, how much more sympathy they have for a murderer than a momma whose daughter was murdered. Gross. YOU CAN NOT REHABILITATE EVIL. She tried killing some... more
Apple Podcasts1Tismc2United Statesa month ago - The way this case was handled was incompetent.
The first season was great. That’s not the upsetting part. As a forensic psychologist who does competency evaluations for courts and works in a state hospital restoring defendant’s competency, the way this case was handled is so so upsetting. There were clear signs she was faking it (we call it malingering). Nursing that were familiar with her commented that she acted differently when clinical staff were around. She demonstrated competency abilities in court. The judges competency eval was so in... more
Apple Podcasts5ForensicPsychDrUnited Statesa month ago - Very Biased did not care about the victim
Extremely disappointed in this season. Definitely showed bias toward the criminal who beat her victim to death. Beat her to death and took a piece of her skull. While I don't agree with people sitting on death row for this long I am pro death penalty, I think Christa deserves the death penalty. She is all about herself. Not that she tortured and beat Colleen to death. Also the two interviewing Colleen's mother are gross do you even feel bad for her?
