Description
Host Ashley Willcott is known as a tv anchor, a former judge, and a trial lawyer, and nearly all of the cases she's covered over the years intersect with one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The opposite of the seven heavenly virtues.
These are THE REASONS why criminals commit crimes. They cannot resist their temptations. And it is a fascinating study to delve into the biggest and less known cases to figure out that why behind the crime; the motive.
This is a chance for us to figure out that WHY.
Join Ashley each and every week as she dives deep into cases you'll recognize instantly - and many you won't. She's joined by a roster of experts to break down each case.
