Megan

there was nothing "protecting" this young woman from an actual physical assault. being "someone known to the victim" is NOT any barrier to a physical sexual assault, and you can ask any of countless women and girls R'd by men and boys they knew, especially family members and stepfathers. these women teach about women and crime - yet make these kinds of ignorant comments? there was nothing benign about what he did to her; he wasn't trying to bond with her or any of that crap.

I just find it hard to believe that Rajeeve didn’t suspect his father due to the murder was such a random act, his family disowned him, and the cultural component.

Of course this was a hate crime! And that stupid remark about Christopher Newsom's rape ("were they homosexual")?! Rape isn't about sex, it's domination - the worst thing you could do to a heterosexual man.

Definitely not victim blaming, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to have your underage child’s partner living with you under any circumstances!

I agree with Meghan on pretty much every point she made. A bit of a cringy episode to listen to. I hope someone else took over the prison project because it’s a shame that the dogs and inmates lost out because of someone’s really poor decision.
