    In 1985, 160 people were sent letters saying they’d won free tickets to an NFL football game. They were told to pick up their tickets at the Washington Convention Center. When they arrived, they were greeted by cheerleaders, men in tuxedos, and team mascots. But then, they found out there were never any tickets at all.

Incredible Story of Restitution

Very powerful story. My words cannot do it justice, the wat Benjamin Freinz (sp?) chose to treat the trial of Nuremberg is admirable.

Long time listener, mind blowing episode

This two part series of the horrific experience these people went through where the crime is so over the top that the victims go unbelieved…it’s just not something I thought was possible.

Criminal across the board is a great series, the stories are both charming and alarming.

My favorite crime podcast

I've been a long time listener of criminal, Pheobe Judge is an amazing host and never fails to bring an interesting story to the table. I was introduced to criminal during my school days by my teacher and I could not be more thankful.
