13th Juror Podcast

Brandi Churchwell

This podcast is made for True Crime & Justice Junkies. We go through the court documents, analyze the evidence, watch the trials, break everything down, research it, talk to the experts, and then present it all as a compelling story from start to finish. Season 1: Mainstream media only gives you bits and pieces of the story, but 13th Juror gives it all. Each story takes a current or recent case that has made headlines, and we give insight into the victim, the crime, and the pursuit of justice. Some stories will be told start to finish in one episode, others dive a little deeper and will be presented in a short series. Season 2: "Conspiracy in Canton" Episodes include a deep dive into the controversial case of Karen Read- a woman arrested and charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in January 2022. The prosecution says she hit John with her car and left him to die in the cold, however Karen's attorneys are alleging there's a coverup involving multiple law enforcement agencies. Every new piece of information brings new questions, and nothing is what it seems. The controversy stretches outward to law enforcement, officials, even the reporters covering the case, and each side accuses the other of a conspiracy. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and as the new trial approaches, the case seems to get wilder and wilder.

    The Prosecution of Robert Atrops

    When 30-year-old Deborah Atrops was found strangled in the trunk of her car in 1988, suspicion quickly turned to her estranged husband, but the case went cold for more than three decades. Now, with new forensic soil analysis, advanced DNA testing, and long-questioned phone records, prosecutors believe they finally have the evidence to prove Robert Atrops committed murder.

    The Defense of Richard Allen

    Was Richard Allen really the man on the bridge, or did investigators lock onto a suspect while overlooking evidence that pointed elsewhere?
