“Seamless dramatic reenactments from court transcript and dozens of firsthand accounts (from both contemporary and archive interviews) come together to tell a convoluted story of murder and betrayal... and betrayal, and betrayal. In an age where politicians cry “fake news!” every time a journalist asks an uncomfortable question, this is a timely story about investigation, friendship, and the ethical responsibility of the press. Layers of sensationalism (drugs! sex! Satanic cults!) intermingle with speculation about how a person “would” or “should” behave following their family’s tragic death. If you enjoyed The Staircase (or any of the podcasts it inspired), you’ll want to listen to Morally Indefensible. Just don’t do what I did and binge it all in one afternoon... it’s a story to be absorbed slowly, and savored.”
