Hi, I'm Lindsay Graham, the host of Wondries Podcast American Scandal.

Our newest series looks at the Kids for Cash Scandal,

a story about two judges who stood accused of making millions of dollars

in a brazen scheme that shattered the lives of countless children.

Listen to American Scandal on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Nearly 20 years ago, I got a stack of letters from an inmate at San Quentin Prison.

His name is Kevin Cooper, and he wrote that he had been framed as he put it

for something that I didn't do, the murder of these four people.

Cooper asked us to investigate, and today we're still on the case.

Oh my God. Still chasing the truth, but first,

how we got here.

Everybody knows about it. Everywhere I go, there's someone that knows me,

that I've never seen in my life, but they know my name.

What do you think they remember you even after all this time?

Because it was brutal.

It was a brutal mass murder that grabbed headlines nationwide.

I'd like to take you back to that Saturday before your mom and dad

and Chris and Jessica were killed.

It was very, very bloody in there, horrible beyond belief.

Whenever I look at the photographs, I still get a tear in my eye.
