“All the things John would say on night of his death remind me exactly of what my ex would say in his drunken rage’s.
Thank god I finally left. My heart goes out to Deven.”

“Dosent seem like she takes agency for any of her choices. She moved to AL due to John. She was an alcoholic due to John. She had a baby due to John. She stayed in the trailer 24/7 due to John. Does she take on any responsibility? The trope about AL is from liberals who have never been/lived in...”Read full review »

I had to walk away from listening a couple of times and found myself googling Deven before I could power through the rest...”Read full review »

“The pod had me seething at various points. The racism, the bias, the lack of resources for people experiencing domestic partner violence…all of it. Job well done.
PS avoid Alabama at all costs.”

“I thought it started out as a good podcast I can tell if I’m gonna enjoy some one from the first few sentences in it. I did. But then the podcaster was blaming every thing of skin color. We don’t need to know all of that. Just tell the story. Not your opinion of why it happened the way it did....”Read full review »

“Listening to this podcast has been so hard because everyone assumed Deven was guilty and lying from jump! If she was a white woman, things would be perceived differently and we all know it. If this story were told as if she were white, people would have a different opinion. Melhoff disgusts me!...”Read full review »

“The case is very interesting based on the evidence presented. The problem is the extreme bias on the part of the podcast. While I empathize with Ms. Grey, it’s obvious that she didn’t kill her abuser in self defense, since he was sleeping and face down when she killed him. The most obvious bias...”Read full review »

“First of all, incredibly done. I’m on episode 5. Let me just say, Alexis is a lying, two faced, conniving female. I can literally tell exactly what kind of female she is just by hearing her talk. The fact that she tried to turn it around & make it about herself is INSANE. She knew exactly...”Read full review »

“I am a domestic and sexual abuse advocate at a DV(domestic violence) shelter. I’ve seen so many cases that could have ended up like Deven’s. I’ve seen people who didn’t get the chance to save themselves, people who are broken beyond comprehension, and people so strong that it’s amazing...”Read full review »

“The story pushes a racist agenda constantly. Why does racism exist? Leftist journalist like this.
The fact is, a lady shot her boyfriend in the back of his head while he was asleep, that’s murder no matter your skin color.
The narrator also makes Shelby County out to be the most racist county in...”Read full review »

“This is not a story of self-defense against domestic abuse. Whether or not you believe her story of abuse, she had many chances to get out and get away from the situation. Shooting someone in the back of the head while they are sleeping is not self-defense. This is not a story about racism...”Read full review »

“I have no doubt that Deven suffered all of the abuse mentioned in the story but, the narrator makes every attempt to use emotion and race to lead the listener into believing that Deven shouldn’t have been found guilty of murder. It’s nonsense and outrageous. She mentions plenty of times that John...”Read full review »
