  • E71 The Menendez Family
    Sep 19 2024

    Today we’re talking about Erik and Lyle–two infamous brothers who murdered their parents. The Menendez brothers aren’t just any other brothers in crime. We’ve waited a bit to talk about this one, and with the new Netflix show out today, we thought it was as a good a time as any. These two also have a habeas petition currently pending, and are hoping to see their life without the possibility of parole sentences shortened–one way or another.

    We had some recording issues with this episode, and we apologize for the audio quality that isn’t up to our typical standard.

  • E70 Christopher Harper
    Sep 12 2024

    A few episodes ago we told you about the wrongful conviction of Marvin Grimm, Jr. (E62). Shortly after that episode dropped, a nice lady reached out to us about the little boy, “CH,” who was the victim in that case.

    That lady is Sarah –and she is “CH’s” sister. Now that her brother, Christopher’s, case has recently been turned upside down by the Court's decision to vacate Grimm's conviction, her family is understandably looking for answers.

    Join us as we take another look at this case – not from Marvin Grimm’s perspective, but backing up and just talking about what we know about the whole case. Today’s episode is about Christopher Harper and finding out what happened to him in Richmond, Virginia nearly 50 years ago.
