Author: William F. Thomas and Kristin M. Dilley November 28, 2022 Duration: 37:54
"Mind Over Murder" co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley discuss new legal strategies being used in the Hae Min Lee/Adnan Syed murder case, the 1965 Malcom X assassination settlement, and a new lawsuit filed in the murder of Army Private Vanessa Guillen at Fort Hood, Texas. Can these methods provide some sort of rough justice?

Citizens! Check out our new line of "Mind Over...

Behind the microphone of Mind Over Murder are William F. Thomas and Kristin M. Dilley, two voices shaped by profoundly different yet converging paths. Bill is not just an entertainment executive; he carries the personal weight of a family tragedy, having lost his younger sister Cathy Thomas and her girlfriend Rebecca Dowski to the still-haunting Colonial Parkway Murders. Kristin brings her background as a researcher and teacher to the table, applying a meticulous and thoughtful lens to each story they explore. Together, they move beyond the sensational headlines to examine the human cost of violence, the intricate process of investigation, and the long, often painful road toward resolution. This isn't a passive listening experience. Each episode of the Mind Over Murder podcast is built on a foundation of advocacy and deep, personal investment, offering a perspective that only those directly touched by such loss can fully provide. You'll hear detailed analysis of cases, conversations that grapple with the complexities of justice, and an unwavering focus on the victims and the families left searching for answers. It's a careful, respectful exploration of true crime, where the emphasis rests on understanding over exploitation, making it a distinct and compelling entry in the genre.
