0:00.0	You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime.
0:26.1	From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record.
0:41.4	My guest, Lisa O'Brien is a native and resident of New Orleans, a graduate of Benjamin Franklin High School.
0:48.7	Lisa has worked as a civil litigation paralegal on both the defense and plaintiff sides for over three decades.
0:57.5	Lisa can be seen on the ABC 2020 special on Stacey Stites' a murderer, Rodney Reed, entitled Stacey Stites, The Girl in the Pines. Lisa also co-hosted the clear and convincing
