I really wanted to listen to this but the quality of the recording is so bad.... it sounds like they are interviewing him inside of a bathroom! I gave up after just 15 minutes.

Love this cast! I'd never heard of this case before. Professional, interesting and riveting. The volume does tend to fluctuate from audible to very loud in several places but this does tend to keep you on your toes.

Not a bad series, I'm sort of tired of hearing about the gun being held together by radiator clamps. Some parts of it are repetitious, so it's interesting when you actually hear some new facts about the case.
