    11 - Greg Parsons
    2024/11/22
    Catherine Carroll was not a perfect mother but it didn’t stop her son Gregory Parsons from loving her with his whole heart. However, to hear Catherine tell it, that was the farthest from the truth. As a result of much hearsay, her son would become the prime suspect after her murder. This week, Kylie and Rory go through Greg’s story and his fight for justice.

    Ronald and Brenda Dalton had just settled down to decompress together on the couch after a long day. Their children were all safely tucked into bed, and the couple were just enjoying each other's company when Brenda began to choke on the snack she was munching on. Kylie and Rory take you on a journey from choking to what the police believed to be murder.

    In an affidavit in front of the Ontario Court of Appeal, Dinesh Kumar made a powerful statement to the preceding judges: “I do not want my guilty plea to ever be interpreted to mean that I did anything to harm Gaurov. I did not.”. Dinesh had only recently moved to Canada when he became the suspect in his month-old baby’s death. Kylie and Rory tell you his story from his own words this week.

    Being convicted for a crime you didn’t commit is life shattering, but being convicted for a crime that didn’t even happen is a whole other league. Maria Shepherd would find herself facing charges for the death of her daughter, a death that was very much not Maria’s fault. Hear her story told in her words, thanks to the affidavit Kylie found.

    Forensically speaking, blood spatter analysis isn’t the most reliable. Delve further into the details with Kylie and Rory this week as they discuss the forensic bind between the legal cases of Warren, Tim, and David. Also hear about one of the (in Kylie’s opinion) worst so-called experts we’ve encountered in our journey so far.
