1Pandora’s Box: The Fall of L.A.’s Sheriff is a six-part podcast exploring the crisis that toppled one of the country’s most prominent lawmen, Lee Baca. Rising from humble beginnings, he presented himself as a reformer when he took over the scandal-plagued agency in 1998. He vowed that he would be sheriff as long as he lived, and voters seemed to approve. But inside the massive jail system he ran, claims of inmate abuse kept surfacing. When a young FBI agent found an inmate willing to talk, it triggered an unprecedented clash between two massive law agencies…and a cover-up that went to the top.

I loved Dirty John but Frank Carson's story was told in such a haphazard way that I still have no idea how these people became suspects. I was frequently confused listening to it.
Had I been on the jury, I would have immediately made my decision for the defense, based solely on the way Prosecutor Ferrera speaks.
SPOILERS! ruined the rest of the podcast for me .
I wish the episodes were longer. They are so interesting.

11year old Chad heard that his mom was killed by his dad - and one of the first things he allegedly said to his grandmother was "Abraham Lincoln didn't have a mom and look what he turned out to be"? Once you start listening to Arlene's stories, it gets clearer by the minute why Debra is the way she is... her daughters may be weird / arrogant but at least they seem to possess common sense and aren't as fixated on a man's approval as their mother is. Guess they can thank their nannies for that.
Deb already had 4 divorces under her belt - and she marries this guy she barely knows, who is intent on driving a wedge between her and her family, right from the start?! How desperate for intercourse can you possibly be... I find it hard to muster up any pity, especially when I hear her fake laugh, sorry.
The 24-year old daughter collects Birkin bags? That smells like sugar baby...
I just can’t. This narrator needs nasal surgery.
What’s with the Zombie 🧟♂️ Us she 9yrs old
Her daughter sounds NQR Not Quite Right
I just can't with these two stupid women. One forgives her daughter's killer the other one's immaturity almost cost her child's life. Love, love, love. Shut the hell up. Christians 🙄give me a break. And all that stupid laughing ugh. Her daughter has to live with the trauma of killing someone. 🤬
".....that's where things went wrong....." no sir! that's where things, finally and for once, went RIGHT. Very, very right.
Congratulations to everyone in these comments on never having been the victim of coercive control! Here’s hoping you never end up with a guy like John, who is, you seem to have forgotten, the actual villain.
