That’s a system that does more to protect you. SimpliSafe’s new Active Guard Outdoor Protection helps stop break-ins before they happen. Think about that. They’re not reactive. They’re proactive, and they’re here for you. We’ve used SimpliSafe for years. There’s one reason for that.

Karen Read is accused of murdering John O'Keefe. Her first trial ended in a mistrial. Her second murder trial has attracted much speculation, social media sleuthing, and attention. To unpack the latest, we turn to Brett and Alice from The Prosecutors podcast. They have been doing excellent coverage of the trial.Pre-order our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.Sometimes we mess up technology on this podcast.One time we made a reference to a train whistle but accidentally edited out the train whistle sound so nobody knew what we were talking about.

We recently started using one one app that’s so good, so intuitive, so user-friendly that it’s us-proof. That’s Cash App. Setting this up was so easy and fast.
