Summary

In this fascinating bonus episode of True CrimeCast, we are joined by homicide prosecutor and author Jarrett Ferentino to dissect one of the most polarizing ethical dilemmas in legal history: The "Buried Bodies" Case. When serial killer Robert Garrow confessed to his attorneys, Frank Armani and Francis Belge, that he had murdered two missing women and hidden their remains, the lawyers did the unthinkable. They used Garrow’s hand-drawn maps to find the bodies, photographed the remains, and then… they stayed silent. For six months, while the victims' families pleaded for answers and searched the woods, the lawyers kept the secret to protect attorney-client privilege. We sit down with Jarrett to discuss his new book, Mothers, Murders, and Motivation, and dive into the "prosecutor’s perspective" on a case that is still required reading in every law school in America.
