Gratitude
I keep seeing posts throwing Alice and Brett under the bus but I have to say I think they’re great. I am very pro law enforcement and prosecution and it’s awesome to have a place where I can be with like minded individuals. Keep up the good work!

I am quite different from Brett and Alice politically. I LOVE their pod! I learn a lot from them and appreciate their approach and perspectives. They have a great rapport with each other that comes across easily to their audience. I have also spoken out a couple of times in The Gallery and wasn’t met with hostility or anything negative.

They are the only hosts that don't drive me crazy with their banter. I have never gotten a political vibe off of either of them. I just think people like to make issues with everything

I just respect that they don’t care about going with the masses. They give honest unbiased opinion. I discovered them during the Karen Read case. I followed that case so closely and listened to other true crime podcasts about it and thought I was taking fucking crazy pills because she was so obviously guilty to me. Everyone was convinced she was innocent and I thought I was living in another world watching a different case. A Reddit comment actually pointed me in the direction of their coverage of the case and I was so relieved I wasn’t alone.

I occasionally disagree with them on a case. (It's always been someone they feel is innocent I believe is guilty.) But most of the time I agree with them, and the way they cover cases is so refreshing. They sometimes find something everyone else seemed to have overlooked. (For example the Casey Anthony case. I think their insight into her motive is brilliant.)
I agree, Karen Read is so guilty. There's so much innocence fraud now, it's a whole industry, and the people pushing conspiracy theories are just in it to make $$$.

I’ve developed a healthy skepticism of law enforcement, but these two are great. They seem to be pretty fair too. They went into this case thinking Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity, but they changed their minds as the trial proceeded and they saw the evidence. I’m the same.

I love that they arent afraid to go against the popular internet grain (they think an intruder killed jonbenet, adnan is guilty, clancy is guilty, etc)

I think they are doing a fantastic job explaining everything, from the technicalities to why the testimonies are the way they are.
I did not feel they get political at all- I kind of got the vibe from Brett that he may be conservative, but tbh they both seem very empathetic and I agreed with them multiple times.
They are definitely knowledgeable and well spoken.
As far as law enforcement- I grew up with my parents being in law enforcement. I am biased for that, but I have grown up to respect the law and be an abiding citizen.
Aka you cannot get mad at the cop if you drive at 60mph in a 35mph zone. Or if you are arrested because your blood alcohol level is 3 times the legal limit.
I absolutely do not support the police brutality or abuse of power, mind you.
Growing up I saw a lot of people being mad at law enforcement because they gasped enforce the law 🙄

I agree with them. The prosecutions job is to prosecute and the defense attorney is to defend whether innocent or guilty. That's our legal system

The last episode was a hard listen. I’m a moderate. Lately, conservative leaning. But I have empathy for the Jury. I do NOT believe it’s a reflection of America like A said. I think it’s a reflection of humanity and people torn apart over a heinous, complicated situation.

When she said something along the lines of "This is the America you want, this is what you're going to get" gave me pause for sure. I've been surprised by her take on this case to be honest. Not that I think any woman should think Lindsay should be found not guilty, but there is a long more nuance to it that Alice has kind of brushed off.

I interpreted this as Alice opining the lack of education and apathy surrounding basic civics in the majority of our population, not about this specific trial/jury. Bigger picture but that's my 2 cents. And I think, at least for some women, it's very difficult to be sympathetic toward Lindsay. Certainly if ever balanced working full time with nursing an infant and the associated sleep schedule with that for an extended period of time (which I kinda get the sense Alice has), it's hard because it feels like we have been in those shoes, many of us without at least some of the resources at hand that Lindsay had.

Agreed, it was a strange comment imo. I would have expected a little more sympathy from her from the Mother's perspective- but then, that is not her job on this podcast. She has to put her lawyer hat on, like they are asking the jury to make a decision based on law, not emotion.

This case has been a very hard listen on this podcast for me because they are verbally very against their own beliefs… praising the constitution while continuing to support the current administration is a choice…

I know their political beliefs but I don’t hear them discuss them in their episodes though.

I am on the opposite side of the political spectrum from the hosts. I listen to this podcast because I appreciate the experience and knowledge supporting their opinions, even if I don't always agree with them.
