0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.7	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.

1:47.0	before your eyes. And I had mentioned, you know, a lot of people saw what happened in
1:52.8	Ali's case and you still voted for the same party, right? The same segment that gave us that crime.
2:02.4	There are better ways, guys.
2:04.2	There are simply better ways.
