Welcome to the global phenomenon, Surviving the Survivor, where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime.

Here's your host, Emmy Award winning journalist Joel Waldman.

What's up, SCS Nation, and welcome to what is sure to be a very interesting episode of Surviving and Survivor.

It is the podcast that promises to bring you the very best guests in all of true crime.

And tonight, maybe an exception because it's going to be very fascinating, I think.

And I put out a video earlier.

We are discussing the trial, the so-called overdose trial in Los Angeles that's going on right now.

Two defendants.

One is David Pierce.

Well, his sister has never spoken publicly to anyone about this.

There's been a 48 hours done.

There's a podcast about it um it's a fairly high

profile case um and we connected and i told her promised her that uh sts nation is the best

community uh true crime or not very supportive and um she you know really wanted to come on uh and she's not wanting to show her face, which is why you're seeing a black box there.

And we welcome Allie to the show.

Ali, I know it's got to be a nerve wracking moment.

I'm going to get into the details of this in one second.

But how are you

feeling right now? You okay? Yes, I'm feeling okay. It's a little nervous, but yes, I know this

will be really helpful. Okay, good. Saw Josh on the 48 hours episode on this case years ago.

So this trial just began January 10th, 2025.

It's going on in downtown L.A., even with those horrific fires.
