COJ #72 - The Devil Is In the Details: How Solving Stephen Smiths Case is Within Reach + Privilege Is Back on Trial in SC

Published: March 12, 2024, 6:10 a.m.

Our mission is to get Stephen Smith's case to a place of solvability, but day to day, our goals are much smaller and much more focused on the tiniest of details. As Eric puts it, Liz and Mandy are pulling at the edges of this case in the hopes of finding more dots that can be connected by law enforcement. And so far it\u2019s working. So far we\u2019re finding new details and when you don\u2019t have answers, every detail matters.\xa0\nThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that law enforcement continues to throw every resource they can at Stephen's case right now. Yes, there are a ton of other cases out that deserve the attention of SLED and the AG\u2019s office, but Stephen\u2019s case is not only about finding out who killed him \u2026 it\u2019s about a system that needs to redeem itself... for the victims and to the public.\xa0\nAlso on the show today, we talk about a decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court that is long overdue. The decision sets a new standard for the release of police records \u2014 specifically the case files from crimes that are technically still open because they haven\u2019t been solved. As Eric says, it was a good day for justice.\nWe also discuss a new case the LunaShark team is taking on \u2014 the Sara-Lynn Colucci case. Sara-Lynn was found dead outside the Charleston-area jewelry store she owned with her husband in 2015.\xa0\nLet's get into it...\n\nPremium Members also get access to searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on\xa0lunasharkmedia.com\xa0all in one place.\xa0CLICK HERE to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.
