Beyond All Repair
Imagine you're accused of something horrific. You swear you didn't do it, but someone says they witnessed it: your own brother. Sophia Johnson was newly married with a baby on the way when she became the prime suspect in her mother-in-law's brutal murder. WBUR's Amory Sivertson reexamines a case unsolved, a family torn apart, and the woman who wasn't believed.

Great journalism and reporting on a difficult case. I arrived at the same conclusion.. Sophia is not trustworthy.. then or now. I believe she is manipulative and self serving. The Justice system served its purpose. People have to live with their choices. Thanks for the great listen!
Naive journalist

Naive super liberal journalist trying to do anything to make Sophie the only female in the is seasons story as the victim. It’s beyond obvious that Sophie is responsible for the murder of her mother in law and that she tried to set up her younger brother who had zero motive to kill his sisters mother in law. Immoral journalism willing to distort the truth in order to try and make something interesting that’s not. Immoral and unethical, pushing the far left narrative that women and other minorities are always the victim. Truly pathetic.

This is a well made podcast but omg is it incredibly one-sided. Jacob is right where he should be and he absolutely doesn’t deserve any sort of parole. If you want to point out the issues with parole and incarceration in this country maybe find a better example. Jake should never be free in public and his father is deliberately ignorant. Reading Season 2 reviews doesn’t look much better.
Great true storytelling

Amory’s research and vulnerability to arrive at the truth is remarkable. Sophia is not a really likeable person-she’s had a hard life but Brad’s family was correct about her. Amory was so kind, patient, and professional with her, as well as the other family members. I look forward to another story. People are really complicated!
