LISTEN TO COURT JUNKIE

Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn’t commit, or imagine your child’s killer is still on the loose even though you’re convinced that there’s enough evidence for an arrest.

By delving into criminal trials, court documents, and interviewing those close to the case, Jillian focuses on the facts of one true crime case per episode.
