About Damn Crime - Wicked Beyond Belief

On this week’s episode of About Damn Crime, Rabia and Ellyn have a slight disagreement on their reviews of Wicked. Let’s just say Ellyn feels very passionate about the movie. Once we (sort of) get past that, we launch into the episode. Rabia begins by updating us on Gisele Pelicot’s trial. As the trial goes on, more and more disturbing details come to light about Gisele’s husband and all of the men involved in her assaults. Then, Ellyn tells the horrific story of a baby who was kept in a drawer for over 3 years after birth. We then get a Karen Read update as recently the prosecutors in her case were asking for the cell phone records of her parents – and the judge had a recent ruling on the request. Then, Rabia and Ellyn discuss back and forth Australia’s new social media ban for those under 16-years-old and whether this is a good or bad thing. Finally, we welcome our first Australian guest, Renee Dekker, who tells us about a 95-year-old woman in a nursing home who died after being tased by police – and the fallout.
