“I am black and I grew up poor. That doesn’t make you a thief or commit crime or be violent. Being poor tells you only one thing about a person…they are poor. Being poor does not equate to poor character. For all her activism and organizing, she is doing a disservice to the poor! Being poor, if...”Read full review »

“It became obvious 21 minutes in that she doesn’t understand what she is talking about. Asking someone to tell the story backward is a way to show when someone is lying. Also yes, if you shoot someone when you have the upper-hand and they are not fighting back, you are guilty of manslaughter. You...”Read full review »

“I keep asking myself how it got to this point: a horrendously abused woman, with well-documented evidence of her abuse, ends up in prison for defending her children. The only conclusion I can draw is that this reflects how the US justice system operates. It resembles a TV show, evident in the way...”Read full review »

“I loved this. My significant other’s sister went to high school with Nikki, and was friends with her loosely for a few years after. The comment about her possibly inflicting upon herself is mind blowing my outrageous. This is very well put together”

“Nikki’s story is without a doubt horrific, heartbreaking and a tragic tale is the truth that far too many are living everyday!
In an age when women have come so far, we still have so far to go! It’s bad enough that women are victimized in every hour of every day. Nikki’s story clearly shows how...”Read full review »

“Nikki is brave, strong and a loving mother. It is a true story of survival. This is what I took away from this podcast. It is absolutely frightening to hear the details regarding the prosecution and some of the views of the jurors and friends of the abuser. People put yourself in someone else’s...”Read full review »

“Good story, but the police are bad, white men are bad, the DA is bad, society is bad, friends and neighbors are bad, laws are bad, medical personnel are bad. It’s their fault the husband got shot in his sleep.”

“The funny part is it seems as if they thought they were making a real effort at examining both sides of the story. But anyone from the husbands side was quickly shot down as either having incorrect thinking or was mocked.
An interesting listen but not journalism.”

“Good up until the 5th episode. Of course, somehow, a podcast about how a white woman was prosecuted for murder turns into how all of America is racist and how black people are incarcerated more than white people. How do the 2 even correlate? Annoying. Not worth listening and you’ll be bored by ep 2.”

“The podcast is so full of bias. It’s one sided for Nicole. Which, I believed her, but the podcasts bias makes you start to doubt her story because of how biased it is. Podcast is also on an agenda against “white men” and the second amendment.”

If it’s ever going to stop there has to be awareness. It’s hard to listen to but that’s why you need...”Read full review »

Without a hint of irony, the podcast host criticizes...”Read full review »
