Who lets these people out to kill again? Is it to make a bet to get paid if they pick the number murdered after the release?
Cabrera, that explains it
Who let that scum back on the street to repeat the crime, what was in it for that judge? Maybe life without parole will be the sentence. Anything less will be another repeat.
Life for all five.
So another animal may be loosed.
20 years should have been life in prison, or a death sentence. 20 years lessens the value of the dead.
Great podcast, but Emily please stop saying 'To your point.' After 6 times In a podcast or Fox show, it gets annoying.
There should be a million ♥️on this one.
Breaks one's heart . . .
1:40 … "Nothing like this ever happens in the state of Arkansas" ? How short was your stay in the state of Arkansas ?
This podcast is going downhill as Emily is phased out . . .
Why so much effort in making excuses for the prosecution & lying on professional witness resumes ?
Hope the one sidedness of these podcasts concerning this topic doesn't damage Emily's reputation in the long run . . .
Love your podcast but if you were to take a closer look I think you'll see your guest doesn't know what he's talking about.
Odd how this guy labels every "Special Agent" in this story as something like "outstanding", etc . . .
Glad you've looked into this case a little more.
Disappointed much of the facts of this case have been ignored in this podcast. Much more could have been covered in the time it was allotted.
Is Emily out ?
Will the lowering the average IQ cause more and more hung juries in the future?
Great episode. The good FBI that the FBI leadership often stains. The field personnel are to be respected. The top, lately, not so much.
