**Spoiler Alert**
The most recent edition of Felony Friday entitled "Love Thy Neighbor" is a case that had many in uproar across the country after the early reports indicated the neighbors whose home the teens frantically tried entering for safety, did not let them inside. Some argue the initial interaction was fraught with confusion and uncertainty - that they believed one of the teen boys had the gun and was responsible for the shooting, so they were scared and did not let any o...

I didn't include this detail so as not to detract from Gabriel Fernandez's story this week... but his teacher Jennifer Garcia (whom you heard in the episode) was seen in a now viral photo holding up a noose with other teachers. Most believe it was connected to Isauro's death sentence. What do you think?

In what some have called the worst case of child abuse in Los Angeles County history, 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez suffered prolonged torture at the very hands of those entrusted to protect him. Early reports alleged his death was accidental. But the investigation would quickly reveal a much darker, more evil series of events that would ultimately shake the cracked foundation of the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services to its core. A BB gun, a belt, and a s...

Do you find the outro hip-hop track at the end of "The Wooden Sword" distracting, or that it otherwise takes away from the gravity of the case? I have heard this feedback a couple of times now and wondered what you all thought?

I released the Felony Friday episode early this evening, entitled "The Body Exchange." It highlights the gruesome discoveries made during a 2014 federal investigation into U.S. human body trafficking. I first heard about the case in true-crime forums and on Twitter in the last few weeks, and was truly horrified to hear how the donated remains were handled by the Biological Resource Center in Phoenix, AZ. What are your thoughts? What would you do if you found out your l...
