Episode 45 out now! Mikalya Miller was a 16-year-old black girl who was a part of the LGBTQ+ community in Hopkinton, MA. But the morning after she was assaulted by a group of teens in April 2021, Miller's body was found "hanging" from a tree in the forest. The Middlesex County District Attorney's Office immediately called her death a su***de. However, Miller's friends, family, and many activists are adamant this was a homicide and are requesting an independent study. Join us as we explore the details of the case, the the  discrepancies  in the investigation, and the glaring issues with the DA's ruling. Was this a su***de? Or was it in actually a lynching and a murder cover up?

Episode 41 available now! South Carolina's Republican governor signed a bill into law that requires death row inmates to choose whether to be executed by the electric chair or a firing squad if lethal injection drugs are unavailable. Lethal injection is the preferred method of ex*****on in states that have the death penalty. But in recent years, they've had difficulty obtaining lethal injection drugs as pharmaceutical companies blocked their drugs from being used in ex*****ons causing states to find a way around the block. Enter the firing squad. Join us as we explore this new bull and what it could mean for death row inmates across the U.S.
