This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

Karmelo Anthony: The Sentence That Split the Country | Pt. 2

Caysen Allison stabbed a classmate more than once and got 10 years. Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf once and got 35. Both said it was self-defense. Part 2 opens at Anthony's sentencing in Frisco, Texas — including the victim impact statement from Austin's mother that reframes the whole debate — then sets the case beside a strikingly similar one out of Belton: same self-defense claim, very different ending. Tyrella and Nikita break down the 35-year sentence, the data on sentencing disparities, the jury and the Batson challenge, the online firestorm, and the appeal — built on the record, not the noise. Start with Part 1 for the trial and the verdict. Content warning: fatal violence involving minors, and a racist remark (quoted and condemned) in the context of public reaction to the case.

Karmelo Anthony: "I'm Not Alleged. I Did It." - Pt. 1

A handcuffed 17-year-old corrects the officer reading him his situation: "I'm not alleged. I did it." Behind him, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf is dying under a track-meet tent. In April 2025, Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf — two teenagers from rival Frisco, Texas high schools who'd never met — ended up under the same tent at a district track meet. Four minutes later, one of them was gone, and the case split the internet long before it reached a courtroom. Tyrella and Nikita walk through the confrontation, the arrest, the closed trial, and the jury instruction that may have decided everything — reported out from the courtroom, because no recording exists. This is Part 1. Part 2 — the sentence, and a second Texas case nobody's talking about — is on Patreon now and drops Thursday. Content warning: fatal violence involving minors.

Michael Jackson The Verdict: The Witness Who Flipped- Pt. 2

In 2005, Wade Robson swore under oath that Michael Jackson never touched him — and helped win the acquittal. In 2026, he's asking a different jury to believe the opposite. Part 2 picks up where Netflix's "The Verdict" stops. Tyrella and Nikita get into what the documentary left out: the $20M+ Jordan Chandler settlement, the Robson and Safechuck lawsuits against Jackson's companies, and the credibility questions on both sides — a memoir he didn't disclose, a Grand Canyon trip his own mother contradicts, and staff who say they saw things they never reported. It's the messy, gray-area aftermath of a not-guilty verdict — and a civil trial set for later this year. This is Part 2. Start with Part 1 for the 2005 trial itself. Content warning: discusses child sexual abuse allegations, grooming testimony, and mental health.

Michael Jackson The Verdict : 14 Not Guilty - Pt. 1 of 2

Fourteen counts. Not guilty on every single one. Twenty-one years later, Netflix has reopened the case — and one of Michael Jackson's own defense witnesses is about to change his story. In June 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of a Santa Barbara courtroom acquitted of all 14 child sexual abuse charges. Netflix's new three-part docuseries "The Verdict" revisits that 2005 trial, and in Part 1 Tyrella and Nikita break it down episode by episode — the Martin Bashir interview that started it all, the raid on Neverland, and the fingerprint evidence at the center of the case. We also get into what the documentary left out: the surprise witness who blew up the "captivity" story, and the "neutral" family friend with an undisclosed tie to the prosecution. This is Part 1. Part 2 — who flipped, and where the estate stands in 2026 — drops Thursday (out now for patrons). Content warning: discusses child sexual abuse allegations, grooming testimony, and substance use.

Lindsay Clancy: The 54 Minutes & Where It Stands | Pt. 2

When Patrick Clancy walked back into that house after 54 minutes, it was silent. Three small children were in the basement. Lindsay was outside on the ground. Part 2 of TFC's Lindsay Clancy coverage picks up the night of January 24th, 2023 — the minute-by-minute timeline, the phone evidence the prosecution is relying on, and Lindsay's own account of what she says happened once Patrick left. Tyrella and Nikita also break down the full toxicology, the competing expert arguments about what was active in Lindsay's system at the time the children died, and where the criminal and civil cases stand heading into the July 2026 trial. Part 1 covers who Lindsay was, the medication timeline, and the civil lawsuits — go back and start there if you haven't. Content warning: child death, strangulation, suicide and self-harm, severe mental illness. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
