    In this episode of Justice Seekers, we revisit one of the most infamous criminal trials in American history: The People v. O.J. Simpson.
    What happens when overwhelming evidence collides with police misconduct, racial tension, media spectacle, and a deeply divided jury? We break down the case beyond the headlines, examining how the prosecution lost control of a winnable case, how the defense reshaped reasonable doubt, and why the verdict still sparks debate decades later.

    In this episode, attorneys Natalie and Katrina examine the 1996 abduction and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, the case that prompted the creation of the Amber Alert system and reshaped law enforcement response to child abductions nationwide.

    We analyze the investigative timeline, evidentiary breakdowns, and jurisdictional delays that limited early rescue efforts, then break down the legal framework governing Amber Alerts today—including statutory criteria, constitutional considerations, and concerns about equal protection, alert fatigue, and public trust.

    Nearly three decades later, the case remains unsolved, but its legal legacy endures as one of the most significant reforms in modern child-protection law.

    In 1991, a fire ripped through a small home in Corsicana, Texas, killing three young sisters. Their father, Cameron Todd Willingham, escaped; but within days, investigators accused him of deliberately setting the fire.

    In this episode, attorneys Natalie and Katrina revisit the Willingham case and examine why so many believe Texas executed an innocent man.

    What We Cover

    • The fire and early suspicion
    • Outdated arson methods used to claim the blaze was intentional
    • Jailhouse informant testimony later revealed as unreliable
    • Defense failures in a death penalty trial
    • Prosecutorial misconduct allegations
    • How junk science continues to drive wrongful convictions

    Why It Matters

    The Willingham case exposes cracks in the justice system, reminding us that flawed forensics, unreliable witnesses, and weak defense representation can mean the difference between life and death.
