Sistas Who Kill: A True Crime Podcast MaRah & Taz

Hey MaRah, Hey Taz, I love your show. My girlfriend and I are binging your episodes down here in New Zealand, we love how the two of you are able to be storytellers together, you make it suspenseful, you give us every side of the story, you relate it to your own lives and you’ve taught us so much about southern states, the judicial system, guns, black history … I could go on and on. I think you’ve done a great job with the show, and it’s the only True Crime that I listen to, mainly because I cannot stand how true crime glorifies police and the prison system! I don’t believe that prison gives any human the chance to change or grow, and in fact breeds violence into the people in the system. And black Americans suffer the most under the prison system, with policing and prison being the main strong arm with which racism is so obviously perpetrated against black communities. I guess I’m trying to say I want another section after ‘I ain’t do it but if I did’ .. I wanna hear how you think it could have been prevented entirely. What institutions could we put in place aside from prisons that would allow for these murderess’s to heal and grow instead. We can never heal these communities if people are still getting locked up, and even the most violent or ‘evil’ people deserve a chance to be loved and to learn not to be violent. A lot of these women are just suffering and pushed to violence because their own lives have been so violent for them. Addiction, abuse, usually at a very young age. How do we make it so these girls have better lives? More options to deal with their pain and trauma than just violence towards others? I want an “other options than jailtime” segment at the end. I love your podcast regardless, and you’ve touched on these topics already, I’m just wanting a deeper dive from you two. Your opinions and thoughts are so valuable to me, I always feel blessed to hear you two laughing, you’re the best company on the road ❤️ Thank you Meira

I’ve listened to a few of the episodes and was mostly enjoying them, except in each one the hosts seem to be sympathetic to the murderers. The nail in the coffin for me was the Whitehead twins case - they were SO sympathetic towards the two girls. What? They ganged up on their own MOTHER and stabbed her to death.
They went on about how the girls were “crying out for help” by saying they wanted to live with their great grandma. No, the reason they wanted to live with her was because she didn’t enforce rules on them unlike their mother. They either ignored that little fact or didn’t care to find out.
Their “how they would get away with it” was unsettling to me in the previous episodes I listened to, but in the Whitehead twins case it was really disturbing listening to them describe how the twins could have got away with the crime.
I love listening to black true crime podcasts but I can no longer support this one.
