“I have been listening to true crime podcasts for years, and none have riveted me like this case. Matt did such an incredible job advocating for the truth of this horrible crime. At many stages in his investigation the pendulum of Ivan’s possible guilt or innocence swung back and forth, and it was...”Read full review »

“A single word to describe what happened today. Injustice. My condolences to everyone who cared for Ivan, whether you knew him personally or not. Condolences for all of the angels who worked tirelessly trying to make them see the truth. Or at least the yearning to seek the truth. Your efforts were...”Read full review »

“Thank you, Matt, for your tireless effort to find the truth. Your research and investigative work was what should have taken place by the investigators but they failed on so many levels. So many of us are beyond devastated by the outcome. RIP Ivan.”

“When lazy public defenders don’t do their jobs, don’t even put on a defense, then LIE to the court by saying their client ‘confessed’ in order to hide their incompetence - this is what you get. My god. This is how Americans lose faith in the justice system. This guy is innocent and if Abbott...”Read full review »

“…that Ivan didn’t kill James and Amy. The evidence for his guilt is overwhelming.

Then I realized the twisting and contortions made by the...”Read full review »

“It’s disgraceful that the victims’ families have had to listen to this dramatisation of a tragedy for the podcaster’s personal gain. Dragging the name of a man shot to death by his cousin through the mud and trying to state this as a case of wrongful conviction to create a media following for...”Read full review »

“I am not paying to hear more bunk evidence to keep a dream alive that he’s innocent. He is guilty, and in Texas, if you commit capital murder, you get the death penalty. His life should not be spared because he let you interview him. Go back and listen and you can hear his tell when he lies.”

“To begin with I don’t think Ivan is innocent anymore. There’s too much evidence that points to him and too many coincidences and strange police tampering to make him innocent at this point. But I kept listening to see if anything could change my mind. But now all we get are updates that there’s a...”Read full review »

A few episodes earlier, it was stated that 7 bullets were found at the scene at James and Amy K’s house. I remember thinking “Dang....”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast and incredibly thorough.

In other words, everyone is lying except him. The police framed him; prosecutors were...”Read full review »

B: The reasoning of why would Ivan do this as opposed to that does not hold water. I have dealt with drug users and...”Read full review »
