About Damn Crime - Who Are They Trying to Protect?

On this week’s episode of About Damn Crime, Rabia and Ellyn dive right into it - there is a lot to cover on this lengthy special episode of ADC. Ellyn starts by discussing Quinton Nixon, a 33-year-old Akron, Ohio resident who recently faced a sentencing hearing in the murder of a 34-year-old woman named Toni Westover. Quinton chose to represent himself, opening up a fascinating conversation about the law and subsequent appeal options and barriers. Then, Rabia discusses a horrifying case that has had very little media coverage. Veronika Rodriguez, an enlisted member of the national guard who was serving in Pennsylvania, reported that she had been raped by an officer at the base. While the male officer faced absolutely no charges, Veronika was charged with a felony for recording the assault without his permission. The final case they cover, Rabia and Ellyn disagree on many factors. This is the case of Luigi Mangione. You won’t want to miss it.
