G bad ,

Great podcast

Obviously great - look at the team behind it. But the fact that the victims parents think a murderer got off because of “liberals” is madness. I hope they get justice and I hope they get a better understanding of why “innocent until proven guilty” is so important.

Detective Frost

I sincerely hope I never have to meet Detective in a crime situation he’s an incompetent blinkered idiot and to think he is now a head of a police department is horrifying
