We Saw the Devil: A True Crime Podcast

We Saw the Devil

Day-by-day courtroom coverage of the cases everybody's arguing about, done with the filings in front of me. Not vibes. Not a theory somebody's cousin saw on TikTok. The actual record: what the witness said, what the document says, which expert has never treated the condition they were hired to testify about. Murder, medical neglect, prosecutorial games, and the cases nobody bothers covering because the victim wasn't the right kind of victim.

Then the part most true crime skips. Who let it happen. Which agency looked away, which law made it possible, which doctor never returned the call, which department was too underfunded to answer the phone. Every case sits inside a system, and the system is usually the whole story. That's where the politics shows up, and it shows up because the facts drag it in, not because I went looking for a soapbox.

Hosted by Robin Coleman. Sourced, furious, filthy, and allergic to pretending cruelty is just another perspective. Y'all, this is not a polite little show for people who want everything softened, centered, and served with a bipartisan garnish.

No spin. No filter. Just facts. We don't do fair. We do factual.
