Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette team up each week to tell stories of love and relationships gone fatally wrong. This show is all about seemingly normal people driven to terrible madness by passion and rage. Hang out with your new best friends each week to discover how someone can go from sweet to murderous in the blink of an eye, and to hear all the ways murder can give love a real bad name.
Jessie and Andie recap Karen Read’s 2025 retrial, tracing the case from Officer John O’Keefe’s death to Read’s acquittal on homicide charges and lone conviction for OUI. The episode details key differences from the 2024 mistrial, the effect of intense media coverage, turning-point testimony, the jury’s decision, reactions from both families, and what civil and administrative battles still lie ahead.
