“I am torn. I’m writing this as I finish season 2. I absolutely love this series and what season 2 accomplished, but I was left with an odd feeling in my stomach about the way the Willy J Hemphill episodes and the wrap up episodes were handled.
I feel that there is a good chance that Hemphill was involved, but I’m still not sure they handled this in a appropriate manner. I wish they had simply presented the facts. Those episodes felt at great odds with the rest of the podcast.
Also, in my opinion, there was some insensitivity in the way that the original victims families were approached after the bail hearing and recusal. Those moments felt a bit like a smug victory lap. They still lost family members and had have been lied to for 20+ years by a corrupt DA. I understand the need to include their point of view, but you were contacting them when they still (wrongly) viewed you are fighting against them.
I do enjoy this series a lot and I will keep listening. You really accomplished something great. Just a little constructive criticism along with it. Carry on.”
