“This was deeply personal for me. My 23 yr nephew was also framed by a DA after two people died in an accident when his friend’s motorcycle collided with a car and the DA chose to scapegoat him by charging him with double vehicular homicide and misc other offenses adding up to 36 years in prison,...”Read full review »

“Laughably one-sided. Like its titular “protagonist” this podcast lacks self-awareness and empathy. Repeated cruel characterizations of the murdered Korey Kauffman as nothing more than a tweaker and a thief make clear Goffard has forgotten that he was the real victim in this case, not the lying...”Read full review »

“I was hooked from the first minute. I wanted the story to never stop and couldn’t wait to get to the end. As a defense attorney myself, this podcast has informed the way I will practice going forward. I hope this blows up the way Serial did so that I can question potential jurors about it.”

“To the reporter/narrator on a fantastic presentation on just how corrupt small minded people with power can get when their tiny little feelings get pushed in by a lawyer with full understanding in his responsibility to his unrelenting defense for his clients.
God, What an eye opener…Hope the...”Read full review »

“This is a heartbreaking story. Innocent people losing theIr lives, livelihoods, reputations. and freedom because of maliciousness and vindictiveness. You can hear and feel their pain.

“I am from Turlock, mere blocks from where some of these events took place. I have been following the case on and off over the years. It is good to have this all laid out. The case seemed nuts from the start, it just keep getting bigger and bigger. Now I know that we need a new DA in our county.”

“Frank Carson is a clear narcissist anyone who believes a word that comes out of his mouth is an idiot. Was the states case garbage? Yes. However, did he do it? Probably. He’s scum. And his “woe is me” attitude isn’t fooling me.”
