Ep 1: Mark Fisher and John Giuca Working Class True Crime
-
- Cronaca nera
If you've heard about this case you know the story of Mark Fisher's fateful night out in the big city where his life was tragically cut short. You know of the highly credible wrongful conviction claims regarding John Giuca, one of two men convicted of his murder. You may even be aware of the daring vigilante mission Giuca's mother undertook to try and clear her son's name.
But what about the substance of the testimony, recanted and otherwise? Or the political history of the prosecuting DA? How did financial and political incentives play a role in the outcome of the trial, and what of the civil suit filed by the victim's parents?
We discuss all of this and more.
BTW: The audio quality isn't great on this first try so take it easy on us. We've contacted some experts so follow us to get an alert for future episodes which should sound a bit better.
