Women & Crime In this podcast, we look at the causes of female crime, victimization and celebrate heroines of the criminal justice system.

We will use a criminologist lens to look at how women are treated in the criminal justice system.

Most states do not handle fetal homicide the way people think.,, Over 25 states protect an unborn child from the earliest stages of pregnancy. But in some states, viability matters — usually around 22 to 24 weeks.And only 2 states— Maryland and Massachusetts — explicitly limit these charges to a medically viable fetus. That part surprised me, because I used to think experts decided viability case by case everywhere.Turns out the laws are way more specific than that.

What did you think the rule was before this?

$60,000 a year for an “advanced course” had me doing a double take.

What started as a simple workshop turned into:
pricey retreats
coaching programs
advanced courses

The real business isn’t always the “practice” - it’s the ladder of offers built around it.

Two things can be true at once: Lindsay Clancy was severely mentally ill, and the law still had to ask a harder question.

Both sides agreed that Lindsay killed her children. Both sides agreed that she was mentally ill. But mental illness alone does not determine criminal responsibility—and twelve jurors could not agree on what her illness meant at the time of the killings.

She had spent months asking for help. Her medications were repeatedly changed. And the prosecution and defense examined much of the same evidence but presented two very different interpretations of it.

What should have carried the most weight for the jury: the timeline, the medication history, or the psychiatric evidence?

She was trying to walk away. 48 hours after filing for divorce, she was found dead in a state park. Meghan takes us through what we know, what the system saw, and what this case forces us to ask about leaving, risk, and how stories like Mica’s get told.

Gotta love pushing your co-worker / co-host’s buttons 😂

What would make one of the greatest basketball players of her generation walk away from the game?
For Maya Moore, the answer was Jonathan Irons.
Jonathan was arrested as a teenager, tried as an adult, convicted by an all-white jury, and sentenced to 50 years in prison for a crime he always said he did not commit. Years later, Maya became convinced that his case had been mishandled — and eventually stepped away from her Hall of Fame–caliber WNBA career to help fight for his freedom.
In our latest episode of Women & Crime, we walk through Jonathan’s case, the questions surrounding the evidence, the legal fight that led to his release, and the personal sacrifice Maya made along the way.
It is a story about love, yes — but also about race, power, wrongful conviction, and what it takes to challenge a system that does not easily admit its mistakes.
