Sadly however, despite these crimes there is a whole fan base of women who not only support him but also lust after him. Wade Wilson was convicted of 2 counts of murder this year and his groupies are still fighting for him.

On this episode of WOC I'm telling Russ the type of case I've been avoiding for a long time. See, I know how Russ thinks and I know when it comes to false confessions he is extremely close minded and quick to judge. I went into this conversation knowing that his opinion will probably annoy me but also hopeful that he might actually learn something, and to my surprise I think he actually, kind of did :) Moral of this story... "if cops try to question you for a crime you didn't commit tell them...

On this week's episode I'm telling Russ all about the wrongful conviction and exoneration of a woman named Julie Rae! Her story is totally nuts and actually brings up 2 other cases we have already covered. Way back in 2020 I told Russ about the case of Darlie Routier and my opinion on it caused us to get more hate e-mail then any other episode! Julie's case is eerily similar to Darlie's and may even make some of you question if Darlie should be on death row right now. Moral of the story......
