    Introducing American Justice!

    Introducing American Justice!

    The pursuit of justice can be impacted by the smallest detail. "American Justice" from A&E explores recent compelling criminal cases, from those that made national headlines to gripping lesser-known cases, through the prism of our justice system. Driven by first-hand perspectives of loved ones, survivors, investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, jurors, and sometimes even the perpetrators, the series dives into significant crimes that reveal how our justice system works, and, sometimes, how it doesn't. One of the original true crime documentary series, "American Justice" originally aired for 13 years on A&E.

Much better

Flat you ditched the long after stories. Make a new story for after the fact… Much better format.

Great podcast for walking and driving

I used to love this show when I would randomly come across it. I recently rediscovered it through this podcast and I love listening to episodes while walking my dogs and also while in the car for long periods of time. It helps the time to go by so fast. On the actual show they would put information on the screen so if you walked away you would lose track of what was going on, so I love how the podcast tells the story through the person’s point of view and also the narrator fills in the gaps. The stories are so interesting!

Great changes

Usually, when things are reworked or revamped, it ends up being one of those “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situations. That is so not the case here. I stopped following this show maybe a year ago? When a girlfriend sent me a recent episode, I decided to give it a try again, in spite of myself. I’m so glad that I did. What a difference! I’m loving the new host, and the slight changes in the way the stories are presented. It’s always fun to discover a new podcast that I actually like. Although this one may not be literally new, it definitely *feels* new and refreshed. Looking forward to hearing more!
