Crime Writers On...True Crime Review

The Lowdown

After writing his latest exposé about the family of a gubernatorial candidate, journalist, used book seller, and self-styled “truthstorian” Lee Raybon learns that Donald Washberg’s brother has shot himself. But notes from Dale Washberg, tucked into paperbacks, lead Lee to suspect things are not as they seem. With the help of his eccentric acquaintances, Lee searches for a connection between Washberg, a group of skinheads, a cabal of wealthy Oklahomans, and a series of suspicious real estate deals. He also tries to balance his relationships with a conniving widow, his ex-wife, and his pre-teen daughter, who’s looking for her father’s attention.Ethan Hawke stars in “The Lowdown,” from FX and available on Hulu. The quirky journalist navigates Tulsa’s political world—and its underworld—to learn whether Dale Washberg’s death was suicide or homicide… all while dodging hate groups, juggling his faltering business, and fumbling his personal relationships.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE LOWDOWN" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Scorched Earth

Attorney Steven Donziger spent his whole career on one case: suing an oil company for polluting villages in the Amazon rainforest. When he obtained a $9 billion judgment against Chevron, it was considered a win for the environment, for corporate accountability, and for Donziger himself.

In the end, the attorney found himself ruined, disbarred, and under house arrest.The podcast “Scorched Earth: Inside the Epic Battle Between Steven Donziger and Chevron,” available now as an Audible Original, looks at the multibillion-dollar lawsuit, an ethically-compromised attorney, and the lengths that Big Oil went to avoid responsibility.

The Preventionist

An official in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley made a troubling discovery about the county’s Office of Youth Services. Workers were taking action against a large number of families based on the diagnosis of a hospital specialist…diagnoses that were frequently proven wrong. He argued money was wasted and lives were destroyed by an overabundance of caution from one doctor. Dr. Debra Jenssen made a career in multiple states finding signs of abuse others hadn’t found, and strong-arming authorities to take action against unsuspecting caretakers. Parents, social workers - and even judges - claimed the specialist too often misdiagnosed illness or accident as trauma, rejected contrary evidence, and upended families in a misguided effort to protect children. The podcast “The Preventionist” from Serial Productions and The New York Times explores the rise of a powerful new field in medicine and the consequences of its “better safe than sorry” application by one doctor. Host Dyan Neary also highlights the story of a family trying to piece itself together after authorities took action on a questionable diagnosis of child abuse.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE PREVENTIONIST" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 10 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Bone Valley Season 3 | Graves County

Fascinated by a 2000 unsolved local murder, Susan Galbreath decided to become a citizen sleuth. With the help of a British journalist, the Mayfield, KY homemaker identified Quincy Cross and five others of kidnapping and killing Jessica Currin, then raping her lifeless body and setting it on fire. While the press loved the story of an amateur detective cracking the case, serious problems were overlooked. The theory of the crime changed, evidence was circumstantial, and interrogation techniques were coercive. Witnesses have recanted their statements, and even Jessica’s father thinks the wrong man is in prison. But what the world didn’t know at the trial was that Galbreath had a reason to lead police to Cross and away from their original suspect.“Bone Valley Season 3 | Graves County” from Lava for Good asks whether the made-for-movie tale of an average citizen solving a murder is too good to be true and the consequences of that fiction.

At a Chicago hospital, labor-and-delivery nurse Clara Hochhäuser prepared to give birth to her own set of twins. But during her Caesarian section, her epidural never kicked in, subjecting her to feel the pain of the entire procedure. Despite her cries of agony, her own colleagues downplayed her suffering as routine discomfort. The incident forced an obstetric anesthetist to realize Clara’s experience was not uncommon.

The Yogurt Shop Murders

In 1991, four teenage girls were found murdered inside a frozen yogurt store in Austin, Texas. The building had been set on fire, and the crime scene was compromised by the blaze.

Years later, after coercive police interviews, a group of men pointed fingers at each other about the crime. Though their stories didn’t completely match, two were convicted and one of them sent to death row. But their convictions were overturned, and new DNA evidence pointed to an unknown suspect. The case remains unresolved, leaving investigators and relatives to wonder what went wrong.From HBO Documentary Films comes “The Yogurt Shop Murders.” The series digs into the twists and turns of the homicide investigation.
