Court Junkie
Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn't commit, or imagine your child's killer is still on the loose even though there's enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.

Ep 226: The Fatal Motorcycle Crash
After a tragic motorcycle crash killed 7 people in June 2019, prosecutors and attorneys would later argue in court over who was really responsible. Was it the defendant, 23-year-old Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, whose truck had crashed into the motorcycle group, or was it the fault of the lead motorcyclist?

In October 2020, the shocking arrests of multiple members of two militia groups were announced.
