Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Such a great podcast! Mike Chapel certainly needs another trial!
Extremely Impressed!
This is hands down the best Podcast I have ever listened to. Facts are the Facts. Great job! Michael is innocent and that is a FACT! I will say it. Michael was obviously set up. What a tragedy for Michael and his family.
A lot of unknowns today
Very well done podcast. After completion- my conclusion is he would not be convicted today- I’m not even sure a D.A. Would bring the case. This is not to say he did or didn’t do it - there are just too many unknowns. Again - great story and worth a listen.
