Wicked - Comes in Many Ways
-
Narrated by:

By:
Two child murders, Holly Staker and Jeanine Nicarico, end up telling the same chilling story: once police pick a suspect, the system stops asking who did it and starts creating a narrative to prove that person did. Both cases lean on shaky human statements, false confessions, shifting stories, and admitted lies, while ignoring evidence that doesn’t fit, and evidence that may have been planted. Even when DNA raises doubts in Rivera’s case, and even when another man confesses in the Nicarico case, the prosecutions push forward. Families trust the system because the alternative is unbearable: if the system is wrong, the real killer is still out there. Wicked doesn’t just describe the men who killed Holly Staker and Jeanine Nicarico. It describes the ones who let their killers slip away, while innocent men were locked in cages for crimes they never committed.
