\nWARNING: The audio in this episode is rough. What can we say? We were young(ish), dumb, and thought we\u2019d save a little money by sharing one microphone. Yeah. The audio quality improves drastically after episode 9.\xa0

\nThese are the trials that got us hooked on trials.\xa0

\nWhen she was just 13, Brandi read a book about infamous cult leader Charles Manson. She\u2019s been obsessed ever since. In this episode, she discusses his crimes, his prediction that a race war was a-comin\u2019, and his truly wacky trial.\xa0

\nAs for Kristin\u2026 well, she\u2019s dumb. When she and Brandi agreed to talk about the cases that got them hooked on trials, she knew exactly what trial she\u2019d cover \u2014 the trial of Robert Courtney, the pharmacist who got caught diluting cancer drugs. But what Kristin didn\u2019t *quite* remember was that dear ol\u2019 Robby never had a criminal trial. Oh well. It\u2019s still a good story.\xa0
