Los Angeles is famous for the always captivating entertainment industry, some of the most famous sports teams, and incredibly expensive smoothies. But beneath the glamour, it's also a breeding ground for bizarre, historic, and unforgettable crimes. My name is Madison McGee. You might know me from my podcast Ice Cold Case, where for the last three years I've been investigating my father's murder.

But now I've embedded myself into the LA Times crime beat to bring you not only some of the juiciest cases, but what it takes to be a gritty crime reporter in a giant metropolis.

From LA Times Studios comes its latest series, LA Crimes.

From deep dives into the Menendez brothers to conversations about why Bravo TV seems to be a hot

bed of white-collar criminals, we'll cover it all.

The solved, the unsolved, the love triangle's gone wrong.

You get the idea.

Tune in every Wednesday starting May 21st, wherever you stream your podcasts.

You can also watch the episodes on YouTube and Spotify.

You don't want to miss this.

They only care about the persecution.

And in court, we have also a thing you can't unring a bell.

supposedly done by Trump, most people have no clue about jurisprudence. They don't know that

these trials are phony, that the charges are phony, all they hear is about the persecution.

And they don't look at it that way. And the thing to me is the police officer, hearing about these January 6th suspects supposedly still in jail is outrageous.

These are misdemeanors.

According to the Constitution, you have a right to a speedy trial.

And these guys are still in jail.
