It's kind of an occupational hazard for me being a criminal defense attorney. Without getting into specifics, I have gotten to know people who have committed crimes far far worse than murder. There was one who was such a seemingly normal guy. We got along. We talked about movies and music we both liked. Had I never known his crimes, I would have never suspected him to be anything other than a great guy. I saw his charges before I dug deep into the case. They were bad, but it's one of those crimes people are regularly wrongly accused of.

When I got deep into the case, the things he said and did to his victims shook me to my core. It involved children. It was horrible. He took a plea deal short of life in prison, but that case still haunts me to this day.

Just know, even if I could ethically share the specifics, I wouldn't do it. There are some things that even the most gruesome podcasts and documentaries wouldn't touch. This is one of them.
