    The South African Parole System: Is it Brilliant or Broken?

    In a break from ACMQ’s usual storytelling format, Nj sits down with Nicole Englebrecht, author, and podcaster (True Crime South Africa), to discuss the South African parole system and what could be done to improve the system and minimise the risk of revictimization. They dive into topics, ranging from Nicole's experience writing her book, Sizzlers: The Hate Crime that Tore Sea Point Apart and the cases she has covered on her podcast that touch on the parole process, to how the parole system can be improved and what alternatives South Africa could consider. Nj also get Nicole's input on his conversations with Julian Knight, the lawyer who has previously represented Oscar Pistorius and Janusz Waluś in their parole applications, Tania Koen, who represented June and Barry Steenkamp at Oscar’s parole hearing, and heads up the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation, and Karin Pampel, the trauma counsellor who worked with Nj in the wake of his 2023 assault.

    The Kansas City Butcher | The Life & Crimes of Bob Berdella

    For 17 years, Bob Berdella convinced his neighbours that he was a bit of an oddball, but mostly harmless. Others, however, mostly the rejects and reprobates of society, knew better. When a naked man, wearing only a dog collar, flees from his house in April 1988, he reveals a story beyond imagining, a story of kidnapping, sexual sadism, and murder.

    Meth, Mayhem, and Murder | The Bludgeoning of Prof Carl Mischke

    On April 15th, 2013, Prof Carl Mischke was found beaten to death and face down in his blood-soaked bed. He was the ninth in a spate of murders of gay men in and around Johannesburg, South Africa but was his killing really the work of a serial killer or was his murderer actually someone closer to home?

    Upstairs Horror in Downtown New Orleans: Part III | The Arson of the UpStairs Lounge

    When gay New Orleanians headed out to the UpStairs Lounge in the French Quarter on Sunday, June 24th, 1973, they had no idea that many of them would never be returning home. A fire started in the main stairwell leading up to the bar quickly spread, as patrons desperately tried to escape the burning building. Until the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in 2016, this was the worst loss of Queer life in American history. In Part 3, we look at the aftermath of the fire, including the total disregard and lack of compassion for the victims displayed by politicians, law enforcement, religious figures and the public.
