Wolves in sheep's clothing - Julie Rae
On this week's episode I'm telling Russ all about the wrongful conviction and exoneration of a woman named Julie Rae! Her story is totally nuts and actually brings up 2 other cases we have already covered. Way back in 2020 I told Russ about the case of Darlie Routier and my opinion on it caused us to get more hate e-mail then any other episode! Julie's case is eerily similar to Darlie's and may even make some of you question if Darlie should be on death row right now. Moral of the story... Its the one's claiming to do good but are actually causing harm that we should be the most afraid of. The real villains are the wolves in sheep's clothing. Learn more about your ad choices.
