What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, your host on Pushing Up Lilies. This week, we’re taking a closer look at a case that hits hard - especially when it involves someone who once wore a badge. Former Carroll County deputy, Matthew Herpstreith, has been charged in connection with the tragic death of Jackson Kradle. We’ll walk through the details of the case, including charges of reckless homicide, reckless conduct, obstruction of justice, and more. How does a trusted officer end up facing serious criminal charges? What really happened that led to Jackson’s death? Join me as we unpack the events, the investigation, and the serious questions raised when those meant to protect and serve instead cause harm. * Listener discretion is advised.
