Update: I’ve finished the first season, and while I still stand by my opinion below, I am happy to find they’ve discovered the abysmal state of how we go about enacting criminal justice (and a more perfect double entendre has never existed). Consider this fact. Every single time we engage this...Read full review »

This is one of the best told, throughly explained, carefully researched podcasts I have heard. What sets it apart from many others is the interest not just in what happened but why, and what could or should happen next (sadly, don’t hold your breath — the levers of justice are nearly stuck)

It’s extremely disappointing that so little care was given to how this important story was presented. The podcasters present as both immature and unprofessional. Extremely difficult to listen to the upspeak, vocal fry, and absurd way they insert themselves into the story.

The attempts to blame law enforcement are ridiculous. The round about way, often contradicting the previous reason made, to make police to blame makes me sick 🤢. Some how police are expected to mind read, see the future, and interrogate a csc victim. Mary Jane alters evidence? Police pressure...Read full review »

It reminds me of “in the dark,” except this narrator has a much better/less annoying voice. You can tell they really did their homework, and it’s a fascinating story! It really shows that people aren’t just good or bad, they’re complex and flawed. Good people do bad things for strange reasons.

I’m 1/2 way through and throughly invested! Excellent reporting, narrating, and engaging of the audience. Thank you for what you are doing. This is not just entertainment - you are positively affecting lives.

I’m obsessed with this team. Please make another season soon!

This was a great listen with good research. Captivating! I’m hoping for a season 2!
Dbedard67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
Engrossing and informative
hbvxdkm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/24
Meh
This was good until the last episode where everything was blamed on white supremacy.
HollyNLib18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
Absolutely phenomenal podcast. Desperately looking forward to season 2.
ejbacc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/24
I am a daily listener of non-fiction pods, and a snob for ratings of 4.5+ only ( I don’t hesitate to abandon a show after 4-5 episodes if it’s not amazing). This series was produced remarkably well! It embodies all of the necessary factors: high-quality journalism, narration, entertainment,...Read full review »

Half of the episodes are ads, recaps, music, etc. Each episode has so little content
carah5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/23
This is a classic government workplace culture. Many individuals get in to the career with ambition and motivation to make a change in system. There is a fine line to walk though in these careers that are so closely wrapped in with politics. Because even though there is ADA federal rule, or...Read full review »

I really wanted to listen to this but I found the narrator’s vocal fry distracting and irritating.
YourHonor! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/23
Excellent coverage of heartbreaking stories of injustice.
rachel113007 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/29/23
I enjoyed this podcast. It was very well researched. My only complaint is that it is never just said that the woman being covered for these forensic crimes is racist. There is a reason her victims are all black and I feel we as a society should stop tip toeing around these OBVIOUS facts
LRNROSE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/23
Listened to the entire series in spite of Tessa’s increasing and annoying editorialization with each episode, culminating in (SPOILER ALERT) a suggestion by an interviewee in the final episode that the entire prison system should be done away with because of “white supremacy”. 🙄 GMAFB. This was...Read full review »
50 Shades of B*tchy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/23
This podcast shines the spotlight on the terrible reality of innocent people being sent to prison. They try to provide some justice where the supposed “Justice System” previously failed. I hope it forces labs & police to take accountability and acknowledge it’s better to accept fault and free...Read full review »

What a compelling story. Binged season 1 today. Most fascinating story.
Wendy happy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/28/23
This was an excellent listen - an interesting look at one of example of a system’s flaws. NB: of course there are ads - just use the fast forward button and you’ll be fine :)
Bictriana via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/26/23
Interesting podcast, intriguing content, but too many ads. Too many repetitive, annoying ads.
crymerson via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/20/23
This could have been a good podcast. But the ads played take up too much of the running time. The show could have been condensed into fewer episodes. There was also A LOT of reputation. Between summarizing the previous episode and introducing the next episode, and the amount of ads each episode...Read full review »

Thoughtfully and professionally researched podcast, told in a very engaging way. Relieved it was not a classic true crime story, but rather a brave investigation that didn’t shy away from the truth… while still adding humor!
ChazzieCC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/23
Very well researched, written and explained. Highly recommend this podcast💜.
Taralainee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/23
Ok
Mary Jane Burton was instructed to implicate the people that her superiors or the CIA wanted behind bars. Yet no discussion or investigation into this
Cfgih via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/19/23
Good story but I really feel it could have been condensed because it does get quite repetitive. Every 30 min episode has at least 10mins of ads for the other podcasts and it’s very annoying.
kaylellan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/17/23
I binged this in one day. Excellent podcast. This issue is so important. Please continue to report on this. I want more accountability and real transparency and change.
ZumbaJoanie.com via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/23
Great podcast and really enjoyed the reporting and honesty of conflicted feelings.
ThePricePod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/23
Great story that needs more coverage. Glad the systemic flaws in the system were covered in the last few episodes but this is something that needs to be further highlighted and examined. If only all cops led their lives by Harry Bosh’ philosophy.
Dalspot via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/10/23
This is very well done. The only thing I would suggest is you think about getting some more sponsors. Listening to the same ads over and over again is painful.
meowermama via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/08/23
This is excellent reporting and presenting of a shocking story. Really well done, highly recommend.
ccach via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/05/23
I binged these episodes. Information was delivered well.
LeneMaxwell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/23
Better to have 6 episodes that are 45 minutes than 12 that are 25.
lady_shade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/23
Hoping there’s more seasons! Great investigation reporting and I really enjoy the host’s voice while telling the story. A new followed podcast!
Shes_aFox via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/23
Behind the scenes look at true forensic lab work & DNA evidence. Miscarriages of justice & coverup. A real eye opener‼️
Kpakaz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/23
This was a great series right up until everything with “the system” was blamed on race. That was very disappointing.
ParrotMom23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
This is work with real facts and real conclusions. You aren’t following people around and being annoying making assumptions. You are rolling up your sleeves and actually adding value by creating an in-depth story using a creative timeline format. It’s dope.
hundreds of listens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
Very impressive investigative journalism.
Sam4241 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/23
It’s heartbreaking. When will we do better?
Purpleluna7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
The topic was very relevant, enlightening, also horrifying. Excellent twist in the story line. Very well told, enjoyed the reporting and the editing! This will stay with me for a long time.
Bejoynew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
I found this to be so interesting and eye opening about how many people are wrongly convicted and how various forms of evidence can be falsified or misleading.
Madduke5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
My first review too (I think). Listen to all types of wrongful conviction type podcasts. Really Liked this one as it was a bit different from most. Interesting and informative and well-done. Like the music, the host, the quality (I could hear and understand everyone you interviewed). Well done.
Kaseylynn68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/23
This is the first time I’ve written a review but I loved this podcast so much I felt like I must! Great reporting, editing and a much needed story! I wish every juror was required to listen to this.
JulieH123456 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/23
Wow. Digging. Not bias based. Not dramatic. No fluffy chatter. Unbelievable “story” that is scarily true. Don Scott was amazing in the last episode - powerful words.
random)9438chikr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
Great journalism ! Loved it!
ocotilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
This is a really well told story. I didn’t want it to end. I hope next season they go further into the science of DNA, the issues that come up in court cases, and how results can be manipulated. I love well researched podcasts. I was not disappointed.
CINJS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
How many more innocent prisoners remain incarcerated due to this woman? Institutional laziness. I’ve lived in Richmond since 1976 and, to my own shame, I never paid much attention to this story. Admissible kept my attention as I binged on this series of episodes. I’m completely convinced that...Read full review »
