A victims voice - Mark Newell

Today is a first for OMR as I sit down with Mark Newell.. Mark is the brother of John Newell the former husband of Karen Newell who is currently incarcerated for her husbands murder..

Since I began this podcast back in September of 2022 I had always stated that this is about giving incarcerated men and women the opportunity to share their stories, their side of what happened during the events which lead to their incarceration.

I have been asked many times in the past what about the victims? and my answer has always been the same, I am not out actively searching for them or contacting the, this is for a multitude of reasons, the biggest one being that, having been through a traumatic event of potentially loosing a loved one or being involved in some form of crime is an undoubtably painful and life changing experience that in most cases will live with them forever. Having some random podcaster from Australia calling you to, not only remind you of it but also ask if you'd like to relive that experience is not something I want to do. If people involved in the cases we discuss hear about or see the show they can choose to ignore it.

However I've always been of the mindset that should someone involved in a case we discuss reach out to me I would very much welcome that and that is exactly what happened a few weeks ago.
