“Law in Culture” Review

I am choosing to do my review on Season 2 of the podcast In the Dark. The investigative podcast, released throughout 2018, is hosted by Madeleine Baran and produced by APM Reports. I chose this podcast because I listened to the first season a few months ago and have been meaning to give the second season a go! The second season is about the case of Curtis Flowers, a man who “was tried six times for the same crime” (from the podcast description). The case ended up being a 21+ year process of appeals and new trials revolving around a 1996 shooting in a furniture store that resulted in multiple deaths. The whole time, Flowers was in jail on death row. It is law-themed because not only does it involve a murder case (against the law obviously), but it goes into detail about the trials and the multiple appeals. The podcast is 18 episodes and I hope to get through most of it before the end of the semester!
