Season 2 is Worth a Listen

Ia this one-sided. Yes. Does it bring up a lot of issues. Yes. I think it episode 11 makes a lot of good points of how the prosecution failed at proving a theory that was not possible. Yet the 1 star reviews are confusing bc these points mentioned have merit. Either way at this was worth listening to and forming your own opinion
Host did a fantastic job

I’m still not sure about Chris’ innocence but I thought the host did a great job of telling the story. Love her voice and her ability to tell the story.

This is a pathetically one sided viewpoint of a tragic story of a man who murdered his wife and kids so he could live the life he wanted to live, which didn't include them. Listening to the parents of the murderer talk about their son was cringe worthy. While the man who murdered his family is described in this podcast as basically the perfect everything, the murdered wife is painted (and literally called) a monster along with her own family. So sad this podcast chose to victim shame and blame, and how cowardly when the woman cannot defend herself. The parents of the killer need to pull their heads out of the sand and accept reality. Only then will they be able to move on from this. And I agree with the other reviewer, the music is just horrible.
S2 seems intensely biased
Jan 13
I started listening to season two of this podcast with zero preconceived notions. This wasn’t a case that I knew about ahead of time. I am on episode seven and can say that almost 0 facts have been reported up to this point. So far it has just been a lot of one-sided reporting from Chris Vaughn’s parents. Some things were told with little corroboration from anyone but Kim Vaughn’s in-laws. The comments about “monster mommy” seemed in very poor taste. It is honestly a disservice to Chris Vaughn because if the reporter eventually does get to any real facts about a wrongful conviction, it’s just hard to even trust her at this point.
