Steven Avery: The Evidence that Raised Red Flags Mar 02, 2021

In this episode, I sort through key pieces of evidence that many viewers of the Netflix hit documentary "Making a Murderer" believe the Manitowoc County Sheriff's planted evidence to incriminate Steven and his nephew Brendan Dassey for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.

Murdered: Breonna Taylor #sayhername Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

Louisville Metro Police Dept. had been surveilling Breonna's home because they suspected her ex-boyfriend had been receiving drugs there. They planned to do a no-knock search warrant raid, in which they executed and Breonna was shot and later died.
Breonna's story moved so many because the police officer who fired off the deadly shot did not get any charges against him.
She inspired the #sayhername movement, and many who support the #BLM movement keep her story alive by demanding justice and change.

Drew Peterson, a former police officer, had been married many times and was known to cheat on his wives, and then marry his mistress. His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in her bathtub after he divorced her. It was ruled an accident, and then later his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, went missing. Police were suspicious and ended up exhuming Kathleen from her grave to reevaluate her cause of death, which then opened up the legal investigations into Drew's involvement.

Stonewall Uprising of 1969 Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

The 1960s were difficult for members of the LGBTQ+ community because the laws in place discriminated against them. A local hangout, The Stonewall Inn, was a safe haven for those in the community but remained a place where NYPD officers would badger the patrons. On June 28, 1969, the patrons would not back down, which led to 6 days of riots and freedom for those in the LGBTQ+ community to be who they wanted to be.

Phil Holland Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

Phil Holland was delivering food on his shift when 2 plainclothes officers spotted him and shot at him, mistaking him for a suspect in a nearby shooting. The issues involved in this case are the police's use of plainclothes officers, as well as implicit bias.
