b"The panel tackles a HUGE true crime update - the Alford plea taken by Michael Peterson, the novelist and suspected murder featured in The Staircase - a documentary Rebecca contends is the Citizen Kane of true crime. As a bonus, our very own Legal Siri (AKA legal professor and Undisclosed genius Colin Miller) educates us on WTH Alford pleas actually are.\\xa0\\n\\nThen\\xa0the Crime Writers argue about an alternative theory posed in the Peterson case...was his wife Kathleen actually killed\\xa0by an owl? That was the theory posed in the amazing pilot episode of the podcast Criminal - but Toby's not exactly buying it. (Shocking, we know.)\\n\\nThen, in our regular segment about whether you should watch/listen to/read the latest big thing in crime media, we review Stranglers, the podcast by Earwolf that takes a deep ol' dive into the Boston Strangler case. (Warning: This segment features a quasi-mansplain meltdown and Kevin Flynn doing a pretty convincing trashy Boston accent.)\\n\\nFinally, our Crime of the Week features one of Rebecca's favorite big box stores, a sex crime, and scabies.\\n\\nListen:\\n\\nThis week's sponsors:\\n\\nMadison Reed.
