CLAREMONT: The Trial
Ever since the shocking deaths of three young women in 1996 and 1997, the unanswered questions surrounding the Claremont serial killings have remained one of the biggest mysteries in WA history. Any hope of justice in the tragic deaths of Ciara Glennon, Sarah Spiers and Jane Rimmer seemed bleak for more than 20 years, with police coming unstuck and no sign of a breakthrough. That was until the arrest of Bradley Robert Edwards in 2016, who was subsequently charged with the trio's murders. For the past three years details about the allegations facing Mr Edwards have been in short supply as his case headed toward what has been dubbed the trial of the century. Now, we bring you in to the courtroom and walk you through all the revelations, allegations and talking points as the historic court case unfolds. Join our team of journalists and legal experts as we break down all the key information from the proceedings in Claremont: The Trial.

Long winded but good

Recaps each day of the trial, not a huge amount of speculation and suspense but exactly what you expect from a straightforward trial. Would love to hear them do some interviews after the fact and try to bridge a few of the “gaps” talked about within the episodes. Great team regardless.
Brilliant in-depth coverage

Listened from the beginning and to every episode over the last 12 months. Thank you so much to the entire team who clearly worked so hard to put this together. It was quite the education on how our justice system works. From the police work, to the forensic work, to the courtroom proceedings. I have developed a new understanding and appreciation for it all. I also appreciated the honest, carefully-worded and straightforward approach of the presenters. Especially Tim. No embellishment or dramatisation, just fact and clear explanation for the lay person, like myself. Well done! RIP Sarah, Jane and Ciara. You will not be forgotten. My thoughts are with their families and the other victims.
Comprehensive but bloated

They were determined to make a long podcast every day no matter what. 103 episodes! Slow, repetitive and bloated even when played at 1.5x speed. The female ‘journalists’ added little except breathlessly sharing their emotional responses to every development (‘how did ya feel when...’). The only real crime journalist there was the English guy who did the case file update frankly could have done it all by himself, in half the time and with ten times the impact.

Omg - I have just read some of the comments! Bunch of wingers in there! I listened to all of the podcast and found it very informative and interesting. Loved the DNA and physical evidence part. I found that fascinating. The reporting of each and every court day was a great idea, as the case built before our eyes. Glad that Edwards is safely stowed away!
