Suspect Convictions

I’ve intersected with a lot of parents as a volunteer. Whenever they’re feeling insecure about their parenting they talk about all the Christmas presents they bought for the kids last year. They often pull out their phone or point to a photo on the fridge of a Christmas tree with a pile of presents. It seems to be the goto excuse to alleviate their guilt and anyone’s suspicions of neglect. Or worse. One day a year they exclaim, “oh I spoil these kids.”

It’s rather lacking as a true crime/ law podcast. At least one episode has a disturbing amount of victim blaming. Some episodes are really good to fall asleep to though, something about the hosts voice is relaxing as long as he’s not doing phone interviews.

Interesting cases in a poorly assembled podcast. The factual presentations of the case lack flow but are generally a concise, non biased representation. However, are interrupted with “round table discussions” that are sensationalizing and victim blaming all over the place. Interviewing witnesses, family members, and other previously involved in the cases give the podcast life

Wish I could give a real review! Unfortunately, the first two episodes are unavailable. I haven’t tried any others.
