THE BURDEN
In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname.
Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers (who all say they are innocent!) turned jailhouse-lawyers. In prison they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away. They set out to turn the tables on Scarcella while still in prison. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they would succeed.
Thirty years later, more than 20 people Scarcella helped put away have walked free. In the media he’s the “disgraced detective,” the rogue cop who hoodwinked an entire system.
For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast ... where justice is done (and undone).

Customer Reviews
Amazing
Ariel is a fantastic storyteller and I absolutely love that she includes the psychology behind the story. She says “if you’re like me, you want to know why,” and she delivers.
What is that Constant Rustling Noise
I couldn’t get past the first few minutes because the background sound was so distracting. I’m also not a fan of the dramatic storytelling style so definite for me🙏🏼
Thought provoking
Malice is not your ordinary true crime podcast, it dives deep into the questions of why and what causes the perpetration of crimes. As an added big bonus, Ariel’s voice and narration wraps around you and brings you into whatever it is she’s discussing.
