The Case of John Bodkin Adams

March 12, 2024March 12, 2024 LanieLeave a comment

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.

Crimson Tales: Holiday Crime Special

December 15, 2023December 15, 2023 LanieLeave a comment

We’ve chosen a slightly different path as we approach the final episode of 2023. Today’s cases will be less emotionally intense, offering a reprieve as we transition into the festive season and the new year with a lighter spirit. We will focus on incidents where, despite criminal actions, no physical harm befell anyone – those peculiar situations that prompt disbelief and make you question their authenticity.

Content Warnings: mentions of drug use, drug trafficking, assault, attempted murder

Shifting Perceptions: From Crimes to Heroism

August 1, 2023August 1, 2023 LanieLeave a comment

Welcome back to True Crime Cases! I’m your host, Lanie. Crime doesn’t change, but the law sure does.

Exploring Shifting Perceptions:

Over the last 100 years, countless individuals have fought for their rights and achieved progress despite ongoing struggles.
Civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, and rights for women and children are some of the notable milestones in this journey.
In the past, women were denied voting rights, and children endured harsh labor conditions in factories.

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.
Exploring ethics, shifting perceptions, and the complex world of crime.

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.
