Real Crime Profile

Chrystul Kizer was seventeen years old when she was arrested for allegedly killing the man who was sex trafficking her and who had used her to create images of child sex abuse. She is now fighting for her right to use the "Affirmative Defense" law to defend herself in court against charges of first degree intentional homicide and arson. The Wisconsin Supreme Court and prosecutors are debating the use of this defense which Jim breaks down for us. We talk about who this law was intended to protect, who the real victim is in this situation as well as the shocking details in Chrystul's case. #ChrystulKizer#WisconsinSupremeCourt#AffirmativeDefense*****PLEASE SUPPORT THE SPONSORS WHO MAKE THIS PODCAST POSSIBLE!*****SMILE DIRECT CLUB - Lisa’s aligners have arrived and she is so excited to get started on a new smile.

Jim and Laura continue their analysis on this shocking, many layered case. We follow the framework of the Topic docu-series “The Missing Children” of Tuam, Ireland. More is revealed about exactly where some of these vulnerable children ended up after being ripped from their destitute mothers. Someone once said “follow the money” and in this case, it is incredibly revealing who profited from the plight of young mothers and their children. This is a human rights violation. Will anyone ever be brought to justice?

It is the stuff that gothic horror movies are made of, but instead of fiction, the story of the missing children of Tuam, Ireland, is tragically real. Using the framework of the stunning documentary streaming now on the Topic platform, “The Missing Children”, Laura, Jim and Lisa analyze this case that involves multiple layers of treachery, abuse and as Laura says “evil”. If 796 children went missing in your town, there would be an uproar. If year after year, 30 to 40 babies died in the care of those who were responsible for their well being your community would demand answers. So why did no one question this when it happened to these particular children. Your blood will boil when you hear the answers. We dedicate this podcast series to International Women's Day 2022 to honor all the women and children victims and survivors. We have a long way to go.https://www.topic.com/the-missing-children#TheMissingChildren#ChildrenofTuam#ChildrenMatter#WomenMatter#Topic#NoChildIsIllegitimate#BonSecours#CatholicChurch#Tuam#IrelandSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
