    101. The Trial of Coley McCraney

    In 1999, two teenagers, Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley, were brutally murdered just outside the town of Ozark, AL. For decades, the mystery remained unsolved. Then, genetic genealogy came along. In an unusual twist, the Attorney General of Alabama, Steve Marshall, was called upon to prosecute the case. He joins us to explain how this case was solved and tried, and how the families of two murdered 17 year olds finally found justice.

Breaking down legalese

Edited 4/26/24 to add a new question:
Thank you for clearing up confusion about legal terms and arguments. I appreciate when you go through motions and affidavits. Question: what was the biggest surprise for each of you about the actual practice of law after years of law school?
