    What to Listen to Next - The Generation Why Podcast

    Suspect explores the weighty decisions made by prosecutors, judges, and juries in the pursuit of justice. Despite checks and balances, our system remains flawed. The newest season, Five Shots In the Dark, dives into a unique case featuring two victims of the same crime: one was shot five times, the other was sentenced to life.   Leon Benson was convicted of murdering someone he swears he never met. Despite a botched police investigation and a weak case hinging almost exclusively on shaky eyewitness testimony, Benson was sentenced to 60 years in prison. But that wasn’t the end. Decades later, recently discovered evidence supports his claims of innocence. But as he continues his fight for justice, the question remains: will it be enough?

  • STAY TUNED FOR MORE CONTENT - Law&Crime will continue to provide you with all the latest updates while we wait for the Luigi Mangione trial dates to be announced. Follow the LUIGI show page and stay subscribed to be the first to access new episodes, bonus content, and more -- available exclusively for Wondery+ members. --- When Luigi Mangione was arrested for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it sent shockwaves across the country, but the aftermath was even more unsettling. While mainstream media condemned the act as a brutal murder, a very different narrative was taking shape online—one that questioned the true villains in this story. Was the alleged shooter a violent extremist, or had he become an unwitting symbol of something much larger?  Hosted by Law&Crime's Jesse Weber, LUIGI is more than just a true crime investigation—it's an exploration of a uniquely American moment. As this case continues to unfold in real-time, this series steps beyond the headline-grabbing "crime of the decade" angle to examine the cultural reckoning it has triggered. At its core, LUIGI captures a shifting America at a tipping point. From the public's growing disillusionment with corporate power to the radicalization of online discourse,—this is a story about what happens when the powerless begin to push back. LUIGI dissects the moral, political, and cultural divide at the heart of this case. Wherever this case goes, Law&Crime will provide you with all angles of the case; from those who have condemned the suspect and the crime, to others celebrating the act as revolutionary.  With exclusive interviews and in-depth coverage, we challenge you to decide: Is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning? Listen to Law&Crime and Twist’s LUIGI exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments.

  • In December 2014, Katja Faber received the news every parent fears most. Her son Alex, 23, had been killed. Chilling details emerged in the months that followed: her son’s killer had been his university friend Bennet – the son of an ultra-rich art dealer – who had brutally beaten Alex before murdering him. The killing took place on Zurich’s Gold Coast – a place of extraordinary privilege, just like the killer’s upbringing. But even more extraordinary are some of the revelations that have since surfaced about Bennet, his history, and the cat-and-mouse game he continues to play with the authorities to this day. (In)Justice - Killer Privilege , hosted by London Standard journalist Katie Strick, takes listeners on a journey around the world as Katja Faber seeks justice for her son. It is a story of traumatic grief, the psychology of wealth, and how power and privilege can intersect with the justice system – with often terrifying consequences. This is a production from Message Heard and The London Standard. Listen to Killer Privilege exclusively and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
