Respectfully, this was very detailed!

I remember this case vividly. I thought it would focus more on Chuck and Carol. While race was a huge factor, I can’t believe the way this podcast was spun. To insert Michael Brown and George Floyd was insulting to the intelligence of folks who know the truth about both cases. It’s where we are now (I guess).

AMAZING

I remember hearing about this story as a kid. I watched the first 2 episodes of the HBO special and was like I need more! I didn't know Boston was like the deep south where I am from. It was eye opening that the racial divide was just not for the deep south below the Bible belt. Then to comes this podcast. Because I needed more and to get what I was asking for is amazing. It touched on every single person that was affected to the African American community, Carol's family, the media (journalist), to Stuart Family. This podcast left no stones unturned and I appreciate all the hard work, tears, and fears that was put to make this happen, Thank you, this is something that will be shared another 34 years,
