(all times CLT)

The Lincoln Lawyer features an LA lawyer who runs his practice out of his Lincoln Town Car: The new Netflix law drama is based on Michael Connelly's bestselling novels and follows Mickey Haller (played by Manuel Garcia-Ruffalo), an iconoclastic and idealistic lawyer. Haller has recently regained his footing in the law world after being sidelined for a year due to a substance abuse problem. The lawyer has quite the comeback as he soon inherits Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent’s practice after Vincent is harshly murdered. With the practice comes a huge case that could propel Haller to law fame: The defense of Trevor Elliott, a tech bn’aire accused of murdering his wife and her lover. However, as he delves further into the investigation he realizes that Vincent’s death may have been tied to case — and that the murderer may be coming for him next.

???? EARS TO THE GROUND-

A true crime podcast that changed the course of a murder trial in Australia: The Teacher's Pet — hosted by investigative journalist Hedley Thomas — explores the unsolved murder of Lynette Dawson, who disappeared in 1982. The podcast suspected that Lynette’s husband, Chris Dawson, was the culprit, particularly as he moved in with the couple’s babysitter two days after Lynette’s disappearance. The Teacher’s Pet gained both global media attention and a cult following, putting pressure on Australian authorities to reopen the case. Chris Dawson — now 72 years old — is currently facing trial for his first wife’s murder, with the babysitter in question testifying against him this morning. To really understand the story, listen to Thomas’ podcast, which shows the true skills of an investigative journalist and a great storyteller that managed to bring a man to justice 40 years after the fact.
