EXTREME TRIGGER WARNING. Today we interview Colette Martin who takes us through the harrowing night she was attacked by her former intimate partner, months after he had moved out from the home they shared, months after he had already started a new relationship with another woman. Colette, a mom with a young son, living in the New Brunswick region of Canada, didn’t know how to recognize the red flags in her ex-boyfriend and had no way of knowing he was a ticking time bomb who was planning to murder her, in front of her child, in plain sight of her parents’ house who lived next door. Laura illuminates all of the warning signs of coercive control that he displayed. Amazingly, Colette survived and has gone on to help other vulnerable women and change laws in Canada.Colette is part of the “She Is Your Neighbor” awareness project and short documentary created by the Women’s Crisis Service of Waterloo Region.

#469: Convicting a Murderer | Part 2
We continue analyzing Teresa Halbach's murder and the behavior of Steven Avery who was convicted in 2007 for her killing along with his nephew Brendan Dassey. They are both currently serving life sentences in Wisconsin. Filmmaker Shawn Rech’s new series “Convicting A Murderer” re-examines the case and provides much more information and context than was previously disclosed in Netflix’ “Making A Murderer” about this same case. Rech, who’s previous work include documentaries about wrongful convictions and over-sentencing, reveals much more evidence of Avery’s extensive criminal history which Laura and Jim review.

KILLER CASTING PODCAST - This week Lisa interviews George Kolber, executive producer and writer of the new film “Miranda’s Victim” the true story at the heart of the "Miranda Rights" case, which was the landmark Supreme Court decision protecting the rights of a suspect against self incrimination while in custody of the police. Who was the real victim at the heart of the ground breaking legal challenge?
In 1963, 18 year old Trisha Weir was on her way home from her job at a local Phoenix Arizona movie theater when she was abducted off the street, driven out into the desert and raped by Ernesto Miranda, a man who already had a history of crime including stalking and sexual assault. Police were able to zero in on Miranda, bring him into a line up where Trisha identified him and shortly thereafter he wrote a full confession to the crime without the presence of an attorney. Miranda was convicted, but later his verdict was overturned by the Supreme Court who found that his rights as had been violated. The film tracks Trisha’s journey as she tries heal from her trauma and still pursue justice. Join us for this important discussion.

Tristan Redman is a journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in his teenage bedroom – weirder than normal. When, years later, he discovers subsequent occupants of his family home say they have been visited by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. It just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to the house where his wife’s great grandmother, Naomi Dancy, was murdered – killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself where no son-in-law should ever be: delving deep into his wife’s family history asking questions no-one wants answered.
