Summary

This is 22 Hours: A Second Look, where we revisit our original season with host Megan Cloherty. In this episode, Megan is joined by the prosecutors in this case, Laura Bach and Chris Bruckmann. This is the first they have officially talked to us about the case. They couldn't talk when we were putting the original podcast together as Daron chose to appeal. But now that that process has exhausted they can share their thoughts on the trial. Megan asks how they prepared for the case, their reaction when Daron accused his brothers, what it was like to cross examine him - and many other topics.

New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Original Episode

In a stunning move, Daron Wint, the accused killer, takes the stand. Under unrelenting questioning by federal prosecutor Laura Bach, Daron seems to have an explanation for almost all of the evidence that links him to the killings. It’s almost a perfect puzzle. But will the jury believe him?
