The Case of John Bodkin Adams

Rarely do I encounter cases where the veracity of facts is so hotly contested that I find myself wavering in my stance. Typically, my research journey leads me through a maze of articles, books, and newspaper reports, where minor discrepancies may arise regarding details. Yet, a cohesive narrative of agreed-upon facts generally emerges.

The Ethical Dilemma of Justice:

The legality of capital punishment varies depending on geographical boundaries.

Special Episode: A Captivating Tale of Heroism:

Today’s episode takes a diversion from regular cases to present a captivating tale spanning nearly a century in the U.S.
Acts that were once considered crimes are now celebrated as acts of heroism.

Double Jeopardy

July 18, 2023July 18, 2023 LanieLeave a comment

Welcome to True Crime Cases with Lanie, the podcast that deepens into captivating criminal mysteries. Today’s episode explores the intriguing concept of double jeopardy, a fundamental principle in legal systems worldwide. Double jeopardy generally ensures that individuals cannot be retried for previously acquitted charges. However, as we’ll discover, this law has exceptions and complexities.

We examine real-life cases where suspects were initially found not guilty but later faced retrial, resulting in their eventual incarceration many years after the original crimes. Join us as we unravel the nuances surrounding double jeopardy laws and delve into the circumstances that led to these unexpected outcomes.

But before we begin, a content warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including the murder of children and the rape/sexual assault of a woman and a teenager. Please listen with caution.
