As someone who has worked with the DA’s office and court judges, victims of DV and lived in Chattanooga, this is as real as a trial can be next to sitting in the courtroom each day as a member of this sequestered jury. The law and which side of the line of the verdict you fall on is up to you so give a listen to a tough trial both prosecuted and defended and learn from the professional trial court personnel.

Layers of relevant content packed in every minute (After the first half of episode two). Almost lost me when repeating testimony almost verbatim but then… #nospoilersx3
You struck a recently exposed nerve.
You and your team get 9.875 stars for conveying details that I would have never understood before being a juror on a very rough case. Thanks for validating the posture post verdict with your own account. It legit helped understand the unique dynamic between Jurors (each other) and cases.
Way to follow through on the Podcast, I needed it.
hundreds of listens · May 2025
I couldn’t get enough! I’ve always wanted to be a juror and have never had the chance. So it’s super interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff. The host did a great job of balancing telling her experience and the story without it being salacious or hurtful to the family. Very good podcast!
Jorashtim · May 2025
I really wanted to like this podcast. The trial and story had close to home. But unfortunately, it was hard to pay attention due to the monotone voice of the narrator. The quality of the audio clips from the courtroom was really bad and impossible to understand. Also, There was so much excruciating detail in first person about the juror’s experience that it took me out of the story and the facts of the actual case. The only time I felt myself tuning in was when actual information from the case was provided. Everything else I wanted to fast-forward. I think this would’ve been better if the narrator had told her story to an investigative journalist for them to record and produce instead.
Mmcgraw3 · May 2025
This was really one of the worst podcasts I have ever heard… I felt like the narrator had made up her mind to support the prosecution early on, and there was no nuance at all. It would have been much better if she explained both sides of the case before giving her opinion (as jurors are supposed to be open-minded until all the evidence has been presented). Beyond that, the narrator was monotone and the audio was awful. Save yourself the time and don’t start this podcast (lest you have to finish it, like I did)!
Leadn · Jun 2025
The content had a lot of potential but 1) the narrator sounds bored and blah - totally monotonous *snore*. 2) To make things worse, most of the recordings of the trial had terrible audio. 3) Music was bad too.
The worst thing though is how the narrator constantly said she was doing the podcast to honor Jasmine. But I didn’t feel this podcast honored Jasmine at all. It was a self-righteous activity that pretty much focused on how the experience changed the narrator, almost in a self-pitying way. I didn’t learn much about Jasmine’s life - just about her brutal death. And the narrator somehow managed to make it all about HER. I’ll skip any of her podcasts in the future.
I really wanted to like this but I didn’t.
