The Prosecutors: Legal Briefs PodcastOne

In 1999, two teenagers, Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley, were brutally murdered just outside the town of Ozark, AL. For decades, the mystery remained unsolved. Then, genetic genealogy came along. In an unusual twist, the Attorney General of Alabama, Steve Marshall, was called upon to prosecute the case. He joins us to explain how this case was solved and tried, and how the families of two murdered 17 year olds finally found justice.
