The Prosecutors Podcast 
The remarkable thing about how legal system is just how well it works in terms of convicting the guilty.
Less than a small fraction of 1% of convictions are unsafe.
Yet true crime has degenerated into click bait crime.
Was it a suicide? Yes.
Was there a wrongful conviction? No. It’s called “reasonable” doubt for a reason.
True crime podcasters have become voodoo victim hunters in search of magical injustice.
If you can’t find a victim. Make one. And while you are at it blame someone else. Preferably a white male.

It seems remarkable to me that this prosecutor, Roger King, who had many notable cases throughout his long career with the Philadelphia DA’s office, does not have a Wikipedia page.
