Crime Analyst

In this episode Laura deep dives the senior officer’s backgrounds leading the charge to identify this prolific serial killer and discovers some shocking and mind-blowing revelations. Laura deconstructs two high profile cases, the M62 bombing which resulted in then Detective Chief Superintendent George Oldfield being promoted to Assistant Chief Constable and Lesley Molseed’s sexual assault and murder whereby then Detective Sergeant Dick Holland was commended by the Judge. Their roles in the cases had catastrophic and wide-reaching consequences.

In this special report, I discuss the latest developments with former criminal prosecutor and legal expert Loni Coombs who was at the court on July 14 2021 for the hearing. I highlight what has happened in the three weeks since the world heard Britney Spears’s shocking and unfiltered testimony about the “abusive conservatorship” that she has been living under for the past 13 years. I compare and contrast it to Bill Cosby and the decisions taken in his case, a set of decisions that should alarm everyone and wake us all up to grave injustices that are happening every day and where women pay the price. Cosby and others were entitled to pick their own legal team. Britney was not. Cosby is free. Britney is not. This case is important for all women everywhere. Listen. Be outraged. Get Angry. Get Loud. Take action. #Women Matter #FreeBritney #BritneySpears #Trauma #Misogyny #Conservatorship #CoerciveControl #MaleViolence #Cosby #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst Sources https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare?source=google_sem_dom_promo&gclid=CjwKCAjw87SHBhBiEiwAukSeUZ-_LqOn7SFVkfNc8N9pqKkRvAQ_Ujg33xibzBvreODLT5mJwpmo5xoCGw4QAvD_BwE https://variety.com/2021/music/news/britney-spears-samuel-ingham-resign-conservatorship-1235012511/ https://variety.com/2021/music/news/britney-spears-manager-larry-rudolph-resigns-1235012207/ https://www.npr.org/2021/07/12/1014666435/spears-case-goes-back-to-court-heres-what-could-be-next-for-her-conservatorship https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/britney-spears-jamie-conservator-millions-lawyer-fees-212446553.html https://www.cnn.com/entertainment/live-news/britney-spears-conservatorship-hearing-07-14-21/index.html Sponsors: A huge thank you to my sponsors.

In this special report I interview Dr. Jessica Taylor, psychologist, CEO of Victim Focus and author of ‘Women Are Blamed for Everything: Exposing the Culture of Victim Blaming’ and her new book ‘Sexy But Psycho: Uncovering the Psychiatric Labelling of Women and Girls.’ Strap yourself in as Dr Jessica Taylor and I deconstruct how the criminal and civil justice systems and social and medical systems and models routinely position, demonize and pathologize women as ‘hysterical’ ‘unhinged’ ‘crazy’ ‘non-credible’ even if when many women come forward with allegations of abuse or if you are a successful, wealthy female mega star and icon, such as Britney Spears. In order to understand what is happening to Britney Spears, we need to understand and examine the wider culture and ecosystem that enables men to claim and dominate the narrative and frame Britney - and women – without challenge. We track back to Britney’s Disney days and forensically take a part the trajectory of pathologizing Britney over time. We name names, revealing who we believed framed Britney. To provide a context to this episode, ‘Who Framed Britney Spears?’ dropped the week after the world witnessed Bill Cosby walk free from prison following a Supreme Court’s decision to honour a so-called non-prosecution deal between two men - a powerful prosecutor, Bruce Castor, and Cosby. This alleged deal took place in secret. No-one knew about it including Bruce Castor’s team, none of the victims or prosecutors knew about its existence - nor was it ever documented or written down. Cosby is free. Britney is not. Listen to the episode and get angry. #Women Matter #FreeBritney #BritneySpears #Trauma #Misogyny #Conservatorship #CoerciveControl #MaleViolence #Cosby #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst Order Signed Copies of Dr. Jessica Taylor’s Book on Victim Focus Use Code VFAS35 for 35% OFF https://victimfocus-resources.com/ Clip Source https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/britney-spears-allegedly-called-911-report-abuse-yorker/story?id=78670108 https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare Sponsors and Leave A Review A huge thank you to my sponsors.

In this special report I interview former Los Angeles criminal prosecutor Loni Coombs, who was at the courthouse on Wednesday 23th June for Britney Spears' testimony at a remote hearing about her conservatorship. Britney had specifically asked to address the Judge and for her testimony to be made public. No-one knew what Britney was going to say. Loni provides unique insight and legal analysis and I weigh in with analysis of events and behaviour and discuss the control over Britney in the context of coercive control.

In this episode, Laura deconstructs motivation, the ‘why dunnit’ which is important to understand regarding identification, culpability, diagnosis and risk management as well as learning opportunities for the future. Laura discusses an alarming discovery following PS’s conviction, which led to his transfer to Broadmoor High Security Psychiatric Hospital. Trigger Warning: This episode contains PS’s voice and narrative about motive and Laura’s analysis comparing and contrasting it with his crime scene behaviour. #Podcast #TheForgottenVictims #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #SerialKiller #Analysis #Psychopathy #Motivation Sources https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/hand-writing-expert-who-interviewed-10551492 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/yorkshire-rippers-penpal-reveals-fears-1411675 https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/chester-graphologist-diane-simpson-yorkshire-5679454 Michael Bilton (2012) The Hunt For the Yorkshire R***** Wicked Beyond Belief, updated edition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8OkdvpEaiM&list=LL&index The R***** Murdered My Mum.

Laura also answers the second, third and fourth most commonly asked questions about this case. After people get over the shock that PS was married, everyone wants to know what was his relationship like with his wife, Sonia? What was she like and what did she know?

In this episode, Laura analyses and deconstructs PS’s behaviour at the crime scenes and discusses what it reveals about PS and shares her thoughts about why he chose to brutalize and kill so many women. Laura’s work always starts with analysing the crime and the victimology. If we look at how the crime was committed, that leads us to why the crime was committed and it’s instructive about the who committed the crime. This is most requested episode of the series.
