BONUS - LAUREL, MARYLAND
This episode, James and Jimmie discuss a case in Laurel, Maryland, where it's very hard not to cheer for the murderer, in one of the few situations where maybe murder isn't the worst thing that could happen. It's a weird story, that ends with death, and a happy community!

Laura Rogers is a hero! Hip hip, hooray! 🎉🎉🎉
Listening to this in 2026 & I feel like she would not have got this same treatment 😣. She's my fucking hero!!
Best one so far!!!!
Brilliant.
Going through all the episodes again and I fucking love this story 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Testifying against my abuser was so hard. So glad she didn’t have to go through that. The outcome couldn’t have been better.
openly applauded the judge & prosecutor and cheered.
This might be my absolute favorite episode ever!
This episode hits hard for me, for a number of reasons, but so glad I heard it!
Fuck yea!
‘ Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. Good… fuck you!!’ 🤣 best show ever
Bout damn time. Loved this
I cheered 😹😹
Fuck that guy.
This has me covered in goosebumps. What a case!
Have heard so many episodes but this might me my favorite, short straight to the point, really tragic but with a really great happy ending. The comments from the family and prosecutors make it all the best. Sometimes violence is the right answer 🤣
Fuck yes. Just bawled with happiness from the ending. Feels good to feel things lol
Hell yeah.
She must have felt like such a piece of shit for not believing her. 🥺
This episode is one of the best episodes I’ve listened to. Truly justified manslaughter.
ClintBlack! It's all fine
Oh baby, that was the best!
Beat episode ever!!!
Amazing lady!
Haven't finished yet but I'm laughing hysterically because once my dad proposed to my mom in a Nathan's.
Finished now, very satisfied with the ending. Gonna now tease my dad mercilessly.
Good! Lol
The only thing that could have made this better was if that scumbag saw it before she pulled the trigger
My new favorite episode
It’s so sad to know that this poor girl wasn’t believed from the start. This happens so often and justice is never served. Good job mama!!!
Holy crap I just learned why a boardwalk is called a boardwalk.
“A homicide without a victim” 😂
Hell yeah! As James said at the end, sometimes bad things happen to bad people!
WTF!!!! Craziness!!! Only ending that could be better is him Getting raped with a broom handle everyday while our taxes pay for his housing for Life.... but shotgun to the face is classic!
Catching up on all of these and holy shit this was awesome!!
Hot damn! Wish I could have done this to my childhood monster!! Well done Judge!
🫶🏻💓💓
This was the first kinda happy ending. That was horrible what he did and he deserved everything he got!
This is insane! I loved it
Man oh man do i wish i woulda done this to my former stepfather...while i was still a mi or of course..that fucker had the nerve to teach me how to shoot guns...while actively abusing me..what a piece of shit..statute of limitations has run out..which i was not aware of at 13 yrs old..Jose Abraham Zayas Jr. You are a sorry fuck..and lucky i didnt kill you myself!
🫶🏻💓💓
If I was the daughter I would sue the sh*t out of the State for the Fraudulent charges conviction
What an awesome story! I loved both the judge, and prosecutors statements! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 is there a go fund me or somewhere I can donate money to Laura to thank her?!
I'm cackling. What a lovely end to a tragic story.
Homicide without a victim is the best quote I have ever heard😂😂
Time served!! I love judge❤️❤️
A win for humanity
this judge deserves an🏆
Oh that was so uplifting. l know he got murdered but by god be deserved it. Thanks guys. So glad lm a producer. 💜
"The shooting was a homicide without a victim" that's the best quote!
A great way to start my Friday!!! Loved everyone in this Story, except Walter, ugh! Laura, she is a true Saint😇
Thank you! I needed this today. 🥰
I would've shot him in the groin! What a good episode!
He got off too easy. First shot should've been to the groin
This judge is my f**king hero. 🤘🏼
I’m surprised she just shot him once! She has the restraint of a saint because I would’ve reloaded 5 times!
