Not Sure It’s Worthy Of A Series
Interesting story but they really drew it out to make it a series and then it ends without great resolution.
They hounded some guy without any proof
I usually love true crime and specifically anything Morrison does but I can’t believe he validated the accusations against some man without any evidence. It’s embarrassing and it’s shameful. They ruined this man’s life. The accused had no money and he had no wiles. He participated in interviews, depositions and lie detector tests because he thought he should. He had no representation. The opposing lawyer said the only reason he participated must have been because he enjoyed it. They played the audio. He was badgered and was obviously not enjoying it.
I can’t believe Morrison went along with this narrative with zero evidence. And let a poor man who couldn’t afford a lawyer get destroyed like that. They were chuckling at the guy.
Engaging!
I liked the pace of this one and didn’t find it as bloated as some of their other ones (Murder and Magnolias is just terrible for that). Cool podcast and recommended.
