Narrator tries to steer you away from an obvious outcome with race and emotion

“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 would leave their trailer home for days at a time. She chose to stay when she had every opportunity to leave. And on the day of the murder, he was passed out drunk. Asleep! By her own admission, for around 5 minutes. So take the gun AND LEAVE. If he wakes up and does something, THEN she could have shot him. But he was asleep and she shot him in the back of the head. I have sympathy for her in that she was abused but the prosecution is right that she should have just left - or at the very least attempted to.
It was an interesting story but the more of the story I heard, the more convinced I became that Deven flat out murdered John. In the end, there was so much bias and unnecessary over tones, I mostly just didn’t trust the narrator anymore and I wouldn’t listen to more of her podcasts.”

“This story is so captivating… Just listened to episode one and I’m absolutely hooked for the long haul. Lemonada does true crime so well- I’m a huge fan. This series seems to be following in the footsteps of all their other great ones, including Believe Her and The Letter.”
