The Misunderstood Shooting of Daniel Harris
Daniel Harris was a 29-year-old man living in Charlotte, North Carolina in August of 2016. Daniel, along with his entire family, are deaf and rely on American Sign Language to communicate. On August 23rd Daniel was speeding home on the I485 when he was pursued by State Trooper Jermaine Justus Saunders. Officer Saunders attempted many times to pull Daniel over, but a high speed car chase ensued. Daniel arrived at his house and got out of his car; within seconds he would be killed by a single gunshot from Officer Saunders. Both Daniel and Officer Saunders were misunderstood and this led to the controversial issues relating to police interactions with the deaf community. Some would argue that the fatal shot was fired too quickly, whereas others would say that Officer Saunders was justified in his decision to use deadly force. Join me as I navigate this complicated case and look at both sides of the story from beginning to end.

The Lynching of Duran Bailey- Part 2
*I made a goof in this episode. I said that Panaca was in New Mexico, but it is actually in Nevada just north of Las Vegas*
This story doesn't start or end with Duran Bailey, but it should. At the end of the day, this man was lynched for an alleged rape in 2001. The justice system not only failed to find his murderer, but also stole 16 years of an innocent woman's life. Join me as I explain how a young 18-year-old girl named Kirstin Blaise Lobato got caught up in a Las Vegas murder and how she was exonerated after serving 16 years.

Interview with Tahjmere Hopkins' Father
This interview was a direct response to the Episode on Tahjmere Hopkins' case that Crime Noir and Modern Murders covered in July 2020. Candice from Crime Noir led this interview with Mr. Hopkins while Ariel was present on the call. We learned a lot from this interview and Mr. Hopkins corrected some facts we got wrong.
The corrected facts:
1) The police did not show Tahjmere's mom his deceased photo. Tahjmere was identified through fingerprints.
2) Tahjmere was not tied to the chair he was found on. He was tied, but not to the chair.
This interview is very important because it gets us closer to spreading the word about Tahjmere's case. It is still unsolved and police are not revealing any suspects or leads that the family is aware of.
If you have any information about this case, please call Petersburg Dinwiddie Crime Solvers at 804-861-1212. You will remain anonymous and if your tip helps, you could receive a cash reward of up to $1000.

Your show is good, your take on the law enforcement side of the Oscar Grant killing sounds ridiculous though. You literally sound like you have no idea of way policing is done. Keep up the good work though, your on the right track.
Great podcast
Stumbled upon it and was a great listen. Sad to see it’s no longer being updated.
Great Podcast!
