Jun 27, 2020 | Now | Like a Phoenix Rising (Two Days Before Court)

It is possible for one's brain to simply say "enough". That was me yesterday. After a nice evening with Kris and Gay just prepping for today (gathering of victims and some new faces) and Monday, court. I have been struggling with sleep and it finally caught up to me. Thankfully, I managed to get rest and today I'm doing so much better. The link to the Zoom planned for Tuesday is at jcarole.com. Then the recording will be on YouTube at Lawyers Daughter or try this. 

Jun 25, 2020 | Now | Four Days Before the Big Day

I promised to share "how it feels" and it's not pleasant. There's too much going on and that's tough. I knew it would get rough but I underestimated how rough. I'm heading out to see Victim 1 who had surgery last weekend and we're hoping she's gonna bounce and be there on Monday. We all just need to make it to the finish line at this point. This one is fast, but provides an update.

June 15, 2020 | Zoom Live: Recording from Today’s Discussion

This was amazing. Thank you to all who came. When I squeal at the beginning, that's totally legit as I could see every sweet smiling face and so many names I recognized. While anything could happen by the 29th (and it seems like so much has), we should soon be putting a fork in this thing. We'll do this again on the 30th.

June 15, 2020 | DeAngelo is Taking a Plea

I recorded this on June 3, literally took me three days just to live with the news to be able to talk about it. I had to hold this until the news broke.  It's breaking today. I have no words for how hard this has been to have things end so quickly. I also can't thank my legal team enough for their thoughtfulness, empathy and compassion. 

June 13, 2020 | Uncovering DeAngelo’s History with “Deep Throat” | Part 2

Here's part two. As we pour over what Deep Throat has uncovered about DeAngelo, I'm am not surprised he has more crimes that aren't currently included in his "portfolio". I'm having a hard time understanding how his family, the adults, didn't know something was very, very wrong. 

June 13, 2020 | Uncovering DeAngelo’s History with “Deep Throat” | Part 1

I've called her that from almost the first day. Desperate to maintain her privacy, Deep Throat (my moniker for her) has done incredible research into DeAngelo that goes beyond what you've read in the papers. She also provides insight into how to do this kind of research yourself, which I find truly interesting. See what you think. Here's part one.

June 12, 2020 | The Crush of Feels, Pretrial

The last few weeks have been incredibly hard. This pod is pretty raw as I struggle to share my feelings.

June 4, 2020 | The Visalia Ransacker Interview with Margie Smith (Part 2)

THIS IS PART TWO - MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN TO PART ONE FIRST!

Margie talks about what DeAngelo did when he broke into homes and then she taps some of his classic behaviors: anniversaries, riddles, mind-f-cking. All things we now know. I wish we could convict him for every damn crime. 

June 4, 2020 | The Visalia Ransacker Interview with Margie Smith (Part 1)

Before he terrorized Sacramento, Joseph DeAngelo, the amazingly evil Golden State Killer, managed to terrorize Visalia. He murdered Claude Snelling and broke into more than 100 homes. There's more we just can't prove. Here's Margie's story (not my mom!) in part one of two.
