When the media and police departments decide someone is not the “perfect victim”, citizens must take criminal investigations into their own hands. In this episode, we analyze the concept of the so-called “perfect victim” and how people seek justice for those who don’t fit the ideal profile. We hear about the role Keith Warren’s family played as citizen detectives and wrap the episode with an interview from Lonita Baker, co-counsel for Breonna Taylor and her family.

This podcast includes graphic discussion of a violent death. Listener discretion is advised.
