True Crime Story

These are stories that you don't hear about on every other podcast. They are the forgotten stories. They are the every day people in non-salacious stories that need to be remembered. Hilarie Burton Morgan is every bit as good as Keith Morrison on dateline. Maybe even better because she actually sympathizes with the families. She has no obvious agenda to create a program that is salacious in anyway. She sympathizes with the victims and families at every turn. She actually tries in every way to find the facts of the case. I am so in awe of her and so proud of her for doing this. It is actually amazing to watch the show.

I enjoyed the series. Hoping they have another season. This show really makes you question the Justice system though. It leaves you with a lot of questions.

I love watching true crime shows and this one really puts a different spin on most of the shows. I like the episodes that bring awareness to the wrongfully accused and imprisoned!

I like Hilarie Burton Morgan as the host. I dont feel like the negative comments about her are fair or just. I think she asks the questions and allows the victims families and the professionals(lawyers, investigators, police, etc) to do the majority of the talking. She does not hog the spotlight because she is famous.

I hope this show continues for more seasons because it is a really great show and I enjoy watching !

It seems to me a lot of those who have such a strong negative opinion / problem with Ms Morgan as the host should be looking more deeply into themselves as to why. These overly critical reviews are reminiscent of those I've seen for another great host of another true crime show, Paula Zahn. They are both very attractive white ladies. So yeah, what are we really angry about here ? And I get it, to each their own but gimme a break !!

This show IS different and important in that it focuses on getting justice for the victims when justice is nonexistent. Imagine spending 23 years behind bars for a crime you did not commit and because this show challenged that verdict, it's either overturned or dropped and you are rightfully set free.

I, too, am an avid true crime junkie and know most of these docs / shows have a definitive ending with the case usually having been solved CORRECTLY. This show should actually be called something along the lines of WRONGFULLY ACCUSED or QUESTIONABLE VERDICT or something to that effect but whatever.

We'll be needing more of this. Oh yeah, and don't change the host. Please and thank you.

Sorry UPDATE : Ok so I just saw Episode 6 which does not involve anyone who was wrongfully convicted so apparently they're not all like that. My bad !

I wanted to like this show but after watching episode 2 I just could take it seriously. I've seen the Yoder story told in a couple of other shows that talk about the evidence with detectives and prosecutor. They did a much better job at explaining why the Kate was found guilty. For starters, this episode doesn't talk about all the forensic evidence they found.

The only DNA found on the bottle was Kate's. Secondly, she was obsessed with the son Adam. When he wanted to end things, she tried to accuse him of sexual assault. The detectives looked into it and found zero evidence. They also found a ton of online evidence, not just on her work computer, but on her phone. She created the email days before she ordered the poison. The password for the email? It was "Adamisgay"

At the end, she poisoned the mom hoping she could get the son back. She was there at her death bed consoling the son. He was also the one who gave her the job at the practice. And the husband? He had an alibi and the affair with the sister started after his wife's death.

This episode also didn't show the victim statement the son gave at Kate's sentencing. He was beyond crying and blaming himself for brining her into his family. This show lost all my respect for portraying that psycho monster as an innocent woman.
