Customer Reviews
Engaging and heartfelt
The telling of this who done it, is a very well told tragedy, keeping me engaged with every episode and tugging at my heart strings for the loved ones of the victim of this awful crime. The most glaring question that may have helped exonerate Foster immediately is, was a simple gun shot residue test done since he was immediately named suspect on the scene?
Good
I think that more looking needs to go into this “ witness”.
Eh
Unfortunately this is basically just an episode of the first forty eight stretched to its thinnest mixed with some additional case update to make it in to a multi episode podcast. It definitely all could have and probably should have just been a one episode ir show or at the most a two parter. It was odd the amount of time the podcaster spends describing the sisters, almost like it was a fiction author going overboard trying to be poetic when describing female characters. It seemed like the podcaster was attempting to make a the story more romanticized which felt inappropriate really took away from the overall listening experience and unessicarily destracted from the facts of the case.. i mean, seriously.. it’s true crime podcast not your diary.
