Description

Sword and Scale is a true crime podcast covering the dark underworld of crime and the criminal justice system’s response to it. The first episode launched January 1st, 2014 and feature stories of murder, abduction, rape, and even more bizarre forms of crime. It’s the purest form of true-crime where the raw uncensored audio tells the story. Everything from 911 calls to court testimony, interviews with victims and sometimes with perpetrators give listeners a 360 degree look at the seedy underbelly of human nature and so-called civilized society. Told from an everyman's point of view, Sword and Scale goes beyond the news clips and the sensationalist headlines to hold up a mirror to the audience and ask, "Is it us versus them? Or are we just like 'them' too?" Sword and scale proves that the worst monsters are real.

The episode about the tragic fate of Whitney Hossler raises important questions about domestic violence and the consequences of family dysfunction. The story makes you think about the need for timely recognition of abuse and protection of victims. And if you need a distraction from heavy thoughts, you can not only listen to audiobooks but also try playing at pin up casino bono https://pinuponline.mx/bonificaciones/. -a great way to take a break.
