0:00.0 | Welcome to Boston Confidential, Bean Towns True Crime Podcast. |
0:11.7 | Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park. |
0:16.7 | There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts. |
0:26.1 | Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations. |
0:39.5 | If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact. |

1:37.6 | Michelle Carter was convicted, but that conviction was overturned on appeal, and she's out of jail now. |
1:46.6 | And I think it was shaky ground where she was convicted at any rate, but she did some time in jail and she certainly deserved it. |
1:53.2 | Both of these cases, the Michelle Carter case and the Phoebe Prince case, have moved the ball |
1:58.9 | forward in terms of legislation regarding bullying. |
2:02.6 | And that's, I think, definitely a good thing. |
2:05.7 | First, it was the Phoebe Prince case where these kids were prosecuted. |
