Acerca de esta escucha

In the summer of 1985, a brilliant young British DNA scientist Helena Greenwood is found murdered in her front garden in a quiet suburb in California. The police believe they know the killer’s identity but there’s no evidence against him, and the only thing linking him to the crime is the fact he’d been charged with sexually assaulting Helena just a few months previously. Fifteen years later the case is reopened and after a breakthrough in DNA evidence, David Paul Frediani is re-investigated, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. It was almost as if Helena was pointing to her killer from beyond the grave, using the very scientific technology she had spent her life working on. Author Samantha Weinberg has been fascinated by this case, writing an award-winning book about the tragic sequence of events. She’s spent time with the man convicted of the murder and was utterly convinced of his guilt. But, in 2018, she received a letter from a jailhouse lawyer, a fellow inmate of Frediani that would blow the case apart. Together, they reopen the investigation, embarking on a shocking journey to discover the truth - in the process uncovering systematic failings and abuses in the American criminal justice system.

Episode 1: DEAD WALKING TALKING

In August 1985, Dr Helena Greenwood’s body is found in the front garden of her cottage in southern California. The police believe they know who killed her, a handsome financial advisor named David Paul Frediani. But there is nothing to tie him to the murder scene. The case is filed: unsolved.

Episode 2: POETIC JUSTICE

There have been extraordinary breakthroughs in DNA science. Fifteen years after the murder, the sheriff’s cold case team reopens the investigation, and, using DNA, they catch their killer. Samantha Weinberg becomes fascinated by the case. She returns to San Diego for Frediani’s trial.

Episode 3: SEEDS OF DOUBT

Samantha visits Frediani in prison, where he is serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. He insists he didn’t kill Helena Greenwood, and that he was framed. Buried deep in the investigation files, she finds a letter which suggests his conviction may be unsafe.

Episode 4: THE JAILHOUSE LAWYER

In 2018, Samantha is contacted by Dustin, a jailhouse lawyer, who has himself been in prison for 45 years. He is helping Frediani, and says that, using the letter Samantha found, he thinks he can get Frediani’s case reopened. Dustin and Samantha launch parallel investigations.

Episode 5: THE PUNCHBOWL

Samantha returns to San Diego. She learns about suspect practices at the sheriff’s department crime lab, and delves into the case of Jane Dorotik, who was convicted of murder at around the same time as Frediani, and who has just been exonerated, because of mistakes at the same lab. Does it help to understand Frediani’s case?

Episode 6: THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY

Samantha and Dustin pick through the case files and each find bits of evidence that don’t add up. Doubt about Frediani’s conviction keeps growing. Dustin is trying to get him a new trial.

Episode 7: BROKEN DOWN

Samantha visits Frediani in prison. He’s ill, but still protesting his innocence and excited about Dustin’s work. The cops open the old files for her, and some of her questions are answered. But two witnesses throw a new light on what happened.

Episode 8: CALLING TIME

Frediani’s health is failing. He is waiting to hear about his new trial. But Samantha has some tricky questions for him. Dustin has positive news. Samantha pays her respects at Helena’s grave, in the New Forest. And comes to a surprising conclusion.

About the Performer

Samantha is the author of six books, including Pointing from the Grave: A true story of murder and DNA, which won the 2003 CWA Gold Dagger for nonfiction, and which was, in essence, the prequel to Trace of Doubt. She began her journalistic career as a reporter in Southern Africa, and has since written for most of the major papers in the UK and US. From 2011 to 2019 she was assistant/features editor at The Economist’s 1843 Magazine. Since then, she has worked closely with Tortoise Media, reporting and writing episodes of the Slow News podcast.
Trace of Doubt is the culmination of a 23-year interest in the murder of Dr. Helena Greenwood, a close friendship with a convicted murderer, and an abiding fascination with the criminal justice system. She lives in Wiltshire with her husband, award-winning wildlife filmmaker Mark Fletcher (who recorded the archive audio for the podcast series), a mutt named Pippi, and, periodically, their two adult offspring.

Great Case Investigation and Much to Ponder!

This case really has me questioning many things. I could not stop listening to this because I was intrigued!

"It's better that 10 guilty escape than one innocent should suffer." The basis of Western law. And, my feeling.

I won't give spoilers, but this case makes me question the motives of all people.

Need to listen to it at 1.5x

The writer is super invested in this murder case and grapples authentically with the many facts and possible narratives that surround capital cases. Entertaining and enlightening enough to keep engaged at 1.5x as the pace is otherwise far to slow.

Twists and Turns

I’m a huge true crime fan so I found this podcast fascinating. It makes you really think about our legal system and the potential for injustice. The interviews interwoven with background made it particularly enjoyable.

A great story

It is interesting how we all start out thinking clearly about a thing until we dive into the details and really look at all sides of a story. Then things are just not as simple as they seemed. Great story.

Gives you food for thought

Wasn’t sure what to expect about this book. Definitely makes one question beyond the obvious. If you listen with someone else, it could be a great discussion following the listening.
