13th Juror Podcast

Brandi Churchwell

This podcast is made for True Crime & Justice Junkies. We go through the court documents, analyze the evidence, watch the trials, break everything down, research it, talk to the experts, and then present it all as a compelling story from start to finish. Season 1: Mainstream media only gives you bits and pieces of the story, but 13th Juror gives it all. Each story takes a current or recent case that has made headlines, and we give insight into the victim, the crime, and the pursuit of justice. Some stories will be told start to finish in one episode, others dive a little deeper and will be presented in a short series. Season 2: "Conspiracy in Canton" Episodes include a deep dive into the controversial case of Karen Read- a woman arrested and charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe in January 2022. The prosecution says she hit John with her car and left him to die in the cold, however Karen's attorneys are alleging there's a coverup involving multiple law enforcement agencies. Every new piece of information brings new questions, and nothing is what it seems. The controversy stretches outward to law enforcement, officials, even the reporters covering the case, and each side accuses the other of a conspiracy. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and as the new trial approaches, the case seems to get wilder and wilder. Exclusive Interviews: The audio versions of interviews Brandi has done with some of the top names in the true crime and legal world.

The Prosecution of Scott Peterson

When Laci Peterson vanished on Christmas Eve 2002, a missing-person search quickly turned into one of the most infamous murder cases in modern history. Prosecutors laid out a case built on lies, timelines, and a secret life they say reveals motive and intent. This is the story the state believes proves Scott Peterson murdered Laci and their unborn son.

Beyond the Jury Box: Richard Allen w/ Bob Motta

The verdict may be final, but the unanswered questions are not. Brandi and Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) revisit the Delphi case through the lens of what jurors were barred from hearing, especially the third-party culprit evidence and the Odinism defense that never reached the trial. Decide for yourself what’s compelling… and what’s troubling.

The Defense of Richard Allen

Was Richard Allen really the man on the bridge, or did investigators lock onto a suspect while overlooking evidence that pointed elsewhere? In this episode, the defense exposes investigative failures, conflicting eyewitness accounts, and digital evidence that suggests someone else may have been handling Libby’s phone long after the murders.

INTRODUCING: 13th Juror

Did the jury get it right?
That’s the key question Brandi Churchwell is breaking down as she dives into some of the most controversial trials each week on 13th Juror. Join Brandi and get an in-depth look at the stories crafted from both sides of the aisle. How will the prosecution and defense take the same evidence and spin it in their favor, and most importantly, who will be successful?
When the gavel falls, the jury’s decision may be final—but the debate is far from over. Now it’s your turn to weigh the facts, question the evidence, and decide for yourself.
