    Beyond Recognition Ep. 6: The Buck Stops Here
    Aug 23 2024

    Lead prosecutor Joseph Cooksey Jackson sits with his right-hand man, Maxwell Fyfe, discussing their mounting concerns about the forensic evidence. Jackson knows the stakes are high. The success of their case hinges on presenting complex forensic evidence in a way that a jury of laymen can understand. They don’t want any doubts, reasonable or otherwise, sneaking in. Despite the damning evidence against Ruxton, the case is entirely circumstantial, and the defense is poised to challenge the identification of the bodies.


    Branded as the Trial of the Century by the newspapers, the Ruxton case captures global attention with its sensational details and groundbreaking forensics. With 106 witnesses, 213 exhibits, and 126 graphic photos, the prosecution faces the challenge of making their case comprehensible and compelling.


    "Beyond Recognition," hosted by Yeardley Smith, delves into this pivotal episode where modern forensics and legal strategy collide. Join us as we explore the intricacies of the Ruxton trial and the monumental efforts to bring a double murderer to justice.

Real People

These are real stories told by real people who were really there-- including the good, the bad, and the ugly. And owning the ugly isn't easy. The hosts do that and so much more. Totally recommend!

Professional and Interesting - Can’t Beat It!

Absolutely my favorite podcast and the first one I’ve ever reviewed. The men and women presenting their cases has strengthened my trust in law enforcement. Their stories are fascinating and Yardley, Dave, Dan and Paul ask good questions, and their comments add to the value of the content. Keep up the great work!!

Small Town Cockiness

This could have been a great series but the narration is poorly written, and the dicks are so full of themselves, so much cockiness that its a complete turn off for me.
Took a while to get Lisa Simpson out of my mind while listening to this but thats on me.
The crime series podcasts genre is full of so many good podcasts, sadly this isnt one of them.
