It’s helped me enormously as an adult now that one of my jobs is to sift through thousands of pages of documents to see what police missed in their investigations (for my podcast What If They’re Wrong?, the spiritual successor to Accused).

Would the SCOTUS have stood beside the Shelleys if this case went before them today??
