The concept is centuries old - when a crime is committed, the perpetrator must face justice. For many civilizations, this has meant imprisonment, but the nature of that incarceration still varies widely depending on where the justice is meted out. To some countries, harsh punishment awaits criminals while other places take a softer approach. Which is right and what does it mean for our criminal justice landscape?

From the Patreon Archives:By now, you've probably heard that Alex Murdaugh has been granted a new trial. We're bringing you a full breakdown of the South Carolina Supreme Court decision later this week, as well as a look into the civil lawsuit he filed against the woman responsible for depriving him of his constitutional right. But first, we want to set the scene with this True Crime Headlines segment from the Patreon archives. It was recorded back when the first Murdaugh verdict came in. A peak back into what we thought would happen in 2023 -- and what we didn't know was happening behind the scenes.Before we bring you our appeal coverage later this week, dig into this. For a real treat, you can also head back to episodes 151-153 to hear our early EARLY coverage when we weren't even sure Alex was the one who did it. And now with his murder conviction vacated and his attorneys claiming new evidence points to a third party, we're left with the questions - did he?

Today we're talking with Jen Miller, journalist, author of five books, and the reporter and co-producer behind Blood Will Tell, a new limited series podcast from Wondery and Campside Media.Jen's work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many other esteemed publications. She holds both an MFA in fiction and a master's in journalism from Columbia. She's also spent the last decade running the Senior Media Fellows Program at the American Immigration Council, helping over a thousand people tell their own immigration stories in their own words. The story that brought her to us today started with a Washington Post assignment about Shakespeare being used as therapy in prisons and ended with her down a rabbit hole that led to the creation of Blood Will Tell. The podcast overs the true story of 18-year-old Anh and Trung, Vietnamese-American identical twin brothers in San Jose, California and a birthday party that turned fatal.Follow: Blood Will TellJennifer Miller

Follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes to hear the full episode and our in-depth conversation with Vanessa Richardson about Raëlism and our takeaways from the cult. In the 1970s, a French journalist claimed he was contacted by extraterrestrial beings who revealed that humanity was scientifically created by an advanced alien race. From that encounter, the Raëlian Movement was born, blending UFO belief, sensual freedom, and a futuristic vision of human destiny. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines the rise of founder Claude Vorilhon, known as Raël, and the group’s teachings about the Elohim, cloning, and eternal life through science. As the movement spread internationally and made headlines with controversial claims of human cloning, critics challenged its credibility and internal practices. This episode explores how a message of cosmic origins and technological salvation evolved into one of the most unusual and debated new religious movements of the modern era.Follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults and Crimes, for more episodes like this: https://play.megaphone.fm/rbfx2e-fr9uigmk-29g8ea

It all started with radical opacity: a website was born where people could gather and post anonymously, free from consequence or identity. Elsewhere, another site's radical transparency hosted damning documents meant to dismantle authoritarian regimes. But what happens when those two forces converge, and anonymity and exposure become weapons aimed at the same target?
