The Team House Ep. 21 w/ Private Investigator Paul Ciolino on Amanda Knox, Jeff Epstein, and more.

This one is going to rustle jimmies, blow out some o-rings, and generally boggle your mind. In brief, Paul discusses what the real deal is with the Amanda Knox case based on his investigation in Italy, His thoughts of Jeffrey Epstein's death, his work exonerating death row inmates who had been falsely accused, his thoughts on criminal interrogation and the polygraph, his work on sex crimes and how many turn out to be BS, his Army days, and other very high profile murder and sexual assault cases he worked on. Some shocking stuff in here to say the least.
