Hello lovers of crime stories. This is a live, and unscripted conversation between two Detroiters. This is a real ripped from the headlines story, but a conversation about the Samantha Woll murder trial. It includes coverage that includes news clippings and breaking news stories on television. Day 1 of the trial began Tuesday, June 11, 2024 and we will follow this story until its conclusion. This trial is expected to run at least 3-4 weeks. For the next episodes of this podcast, we will attempt to make ready an agenda so that you can follow along the conversation. We will also share links to news reported out from various outlets including local (The Detroit News, Click on Detroit, etc.); national (MSN, Yahoo, YouTube, etc.); and international sources (AP).

We are simply having a conversation. Neither of us are attorneys and our conversation is based on what is being presented as evidence to accuse a man, a known thief, with murder. He is facing life in prison.
