⚠️ Trigger Warning: Violence, murder, prison gangs
Most people think they know the story of Diane Whipple. They remember the fatal dog attack. But according to bestselling true crime author and investigative journalist Aphrodite Jones, this case was never really about the dogs.

In this episode, Aphrodite joins me to discuss her new book, Dog O' War, and the shocking prison connection behind one of America's most infamous cases.

What started as a deadly attack quickly uncovered a web of manipulation, obsession, coercive control, and alleged ties to the Aryan Brotherhood.

How did a man serving multiple life sentences inside Pelican Bay State Prison gain influence over people on the outside?

Why were so many warning signs ignored?

And how did two respected attorneys become entangled in one of the strangest true crime stories ever told?

✔️ The prison connection most people have never heard about
✔️ The manipulation tactics used by powerful offenders
✔️ The warning signs everyone missed
✔️ How Diane Whipple's death changed the law
✔️ Why this case still sparks debate decades later

This episode is a fascinating look at power, control, obsession, and the devastating consequences that followed.
