Wrongful

Ep 1 Aaron Spencer - Not who, but why?

Aaron Spencer has been charged with second-degree murder —but was it really murder, or a father protecting his daughter? In the next episode of Wrongful, we break down the case that raises the question: is it justified? One moment changed everything. Now, the fight for truth—and for Aaron’s freedom—begins.

Ep5 - Zachariah Anderson - The Trial Part 2

In our concluding episode, we will continue exploring the remainder of the trial, more questionable tactics, and misrepresentation of evidence by the prosecution. Then finally the verdict, along with the reactions and responses that followed.  Our goal in sharing Zach’s case is not just showing how one man’s life has been upended unfairly, but also showing how the system we trust with our lives and the lives of those we love, is broken. Corruption exists and it will continue to exist unless we, the people, step in and demand change. It may not affect you today, but what happened to Zach could happen to you, to someone you love. Something needs to change and we hope by sharing these wrongful convictions, we can make some kind of difference in bringing awareness to this problem in our justice system. This goes into the local officials we elect, how seriously we take our civic duty when assigned to a jury, and keeping these institutions accountable.

Ep5 - Zachariah Anderson - The Trial Part 1

February 28, 2023, media cameras would be set to capture the trial, under the headline “The obsessed ex-boyfriend murder trial”. Notably, law & crime and court tv would be streaming it live on YouTube as many trial watchers and true crime addicts tuned in to watch the teased love triangle murder case unfold before their very eyes. Immediately, speculation on which celebrity Zach resembled was made and armchair psychologists began throwing out their diagnoses. In this episode, we will explore the rest of the witness testimony we haven’t yet discussed, some eyebrow-raising moments, and finally, the verdict and subsequent reactions.

Ep4 - Zachariah Anderson - Building a Case

Zach was alone and his bail was high. He knew as soon as he fronted the bail money they would look for another charge to hold him on while they tried to build up murder charges. So he waited. Eventually, 7 months later they would find something they could use.  They would find one area with trace DNA that they believed belonged to Rosalio Gutierrez. This finding would lead to homicide charges being filed against Zach in December of 2020, along with a charge of hiding a corpse. In this episode, we will explore this DNA and the building of the case by the DA’s office.
