Sins of the Child

Interesting story. I liked the narration, didn’t like the male reporter interjecting randomly at times. I enjoyed hearing the courtroom tapes, but agree with everyone else about the story missing another perspective- from the school and the school’s negligence. Adding this would’ve been real reporting, not simply reporting what’s already been reported.

Sorry, Charlie Langton is too animated for this. Barely Got through the first episode. If I didn’t already know this case really well, this would have been confusing. Jumped from one unidentified recorded voice to another with no context.

I’m on the fourth episode and while I am interested in the story, the podcast itself is nothing more than a string of recorded comments from many unidentified people, strung together with minimal robotic narration, and there is certainly no investigation or compelling storytelling. The first couple of episodes are particularly all over the place. The podcast is basically just playing public record testimony and comments from other reporters. I also do not like the narrator because she sounds like she’s happy and smiling while she talks about this horrific story. And to jump on someone else’s comment, there is not a word said about the school’s negligence in this situation. This could’ve been a great podcast if it was done by someone else who is an actual journalist.

Love me some Law & Crime, however this couldn’t be more biased. Neutral and concise is the best approach, but this is so different from the others. Hate the Crumbley’s but can you just be neutral and accurately tell the COMPLETE story.
