Well, actually...
the true crime that's worth your time
No one likes to be what we often refer to as “that guy,” the pedant with the (accurate!) correction that brings down the room. And yet we are often forced to be, aren’t we?
There’s always that person who starts going on and on about the “Twinkie defense” (a myth), or someone who swears up and down that a cop in their hometown overdosed on Fentanyl while exposed to “dust” during a bust (total nonsense).
And if Sarah and I had a dollar for every time we muttered “Flavor Aid” when someone made some sort of joke about the Kool-Aid man “oh yeah” ing across Jonestown, we wouldn’t always be asking you to sign up for a paid subscription. Which, while we’re at it…
We know we’re not alone in our tiresome self-appointed duty to “help” folks who perpetuate true crime misinformation. Which cases do you find yourself offering corrections on the most? Which mythical and false aspects of crime stories and reporting nag at you the most? Lay it on us. You’re among friends. — EB
