Duels on Delmarva (Part 2 of 3): The Tangier Tragedy
Episode will continue with some of the tragedies that happened around the pits family from Virginia's Eastern shore. the many family members were held in a steam with a judge, a senator, doctors and lawyers making up the professions of most of the male members of the family. but when rash actions are taken and consequences or not thought of, it can lead to a tragedy that affects not only those directly involved, but their families and the community at large. today we will look at a shooting that took place in 1884 involving Dr James Pitts and Dr Thomas Walter.

Freedom at Whose Cost?
Denise Rhudy was killed in December of 1999. She was a mother of 4 who was just going to enjoy some time out with some colleagues, but the planning and actions of 3 men took away her future. But one of those men, while not the one who pulled the trigger, should not have been out amongst other citizens of his community. His past actions indicated that he was a criminal with violent tendencies, but some people either refused to see this or cast a blind eye towards his actions. What type of prison sentence is too harsh? Too lenient? And should judges be accountable for bad decisions that were made? Join me as I look at the history of Christopher Johnson.

The Weight of the Jury
This episode will cover the murder of Denise Rudy who was killed by Sadiki Garden in December of 1999. His appeal brought up questions of judicial discretion, jury instruction, and the validity of eyewitness identification especially when it's cross-racial identification. As with many cases, we don't know that much about the victim, but she was a mother of four who didn't get to spend Christmas with her children that year, or even meet grandchildren in the future to spend Christmas with them. that was taken away from her, her family, and the holidays were tarnished for the family forever because of a person's decision to shoot a woman during an attempted robbery. Additionally, to be covered in a future episode, someone charged along with Garden had walked away from a work release program, and much of the coverage from this trial stemmed from this in questioning the sentencing of that person to a work release program.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Content, Poor Production…
While I find the subject matter and topics fascinating, the overall experience is flawed by the poor sound quality and subpar production levels. Listening to bad audio is mentally tedious and fatiguing. The sound is tinny with wildly wavering volume levels. Sometimes the sound drops out completely. Please work on this, your stories are worthy of much better presentation.
