Episode Introduction: Alison Barber Sets the Docket
At 2:35 · chapter starts 1:23
Alison Barber, NBC News correspondent and host of the Netflix video podcast Allegedly, steps in for regular host Andrea and briskly sets up the episode's agenda. She previews the legal drama in Durham County, North Carolina, where a defense attorney is pointing the finger at a murder victim's roommate; the emotionally charged sentencing hearings for Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann and Utah murder-for-hire mastermind Tracey Grist; and a forensics expert who will explain how cars become crime scenes. The segment efficiently orients listeners before diving into the week's most compelling case.
