Not unbiased
Ugh. So I had a difficult time figuring out what I wanted to rate this. But geez - Melanie is so so guilty. This podcast isn’t unbiased. They’re basically defending a murderer. Clearly Melanie did and said certain things to clear herself (all murderers in her position would) but to think that these ladies believed that is insane. They’re supposed to be criminologists and they believed a manipulator. One of the ladies even worked at a prison and she soaked up EVERY lie that Melanie said. Wow. Wow. If Melanie is innocent, then everyone in prison is. If Melanie is innocent (which she clearly isn’t) - why spend the whole podcast trying to broadcast how horrible her husband was? It’s almost like she’s trying to justify her murdering him without admitting she murdered him. If her husband was killed by someone else, she wouldn’t be trying to paint him in a bad light. But because she killed him - she needs the world to know how evil he was. Common ladies - do better. P.S if Melanie was charged with perjury, it’s because she actually lied in court. She told the judge that there were no guns in the house.. she said that before she thought she’d get caught. Why lie to the judge and say she didn’t have a gun if she had it lawfully? It’s because she knew she used it to kill bill and it wouldn't do her any good to state that she had a gun. She lied. Stop justifying her and saying that her story is consistent - it isn’t. She lied about the gun and tried to cover up the EZ pass - because she’s a murderer. It’s disrespectful to the victim and their family. You didn’t tell the full story, you just tried to justify her murderous ways. Btw, I am 5’2 & I weigh 120 pounds.. i can throw an 80 pound luggage. With adrenaline, she could probably do more. Here’s what really disgusted me about this - one of the ladies believes that she hired/played a part in someone murdering her husband but feels that life in prison is an “injustice” because she should have gotten 10 years instead of life due to New Jerseys laws. Lady, you are absolutely disgusting. Someone lost their life, was chopped up in pieces, made to suffer and thrown away like he was garbage.. this person was stripped of all his years and the injustice was done to Melanie? Wow. Thank God you’re not a jury member. Ugh. I had to change my rating from two stars to one star after hearing season 2. These women are ridiculous. Ryan is another liar. Stop saying what’s happening to him is unconstitutional just because you’re too blind to see that he deserves to be in prison. He had THREE trials - and was found to be guilty. That’s fair - that’s how our justice system works. I personally know people who knew him and they all said the same - he is a murderer. Btw - I sleep a lot and can sleep anywhere, I also have a heart murmur .. so I guess I could also die in a bathtub.. his story isn’t consistent. All you’re doing is justifying what he did. Maybe the rest of your seasons should be proving why Jodi Arias, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy are also innocent.Read full review »

Busted! I was fascinated with this case when it was portrayed on regular tv but wasn’t following the aftermath once she was convicted. Now, this narrative is being brought back via this Podcast and can’t wait to actually hear a non biased view on whether Melanie is really guilty or (gasp) not...Read full review »

Why subject listeners to the affectatious distortion during recorded interview portions? It’s annoying and detracts from the content.
