I'll let your host, Philip Halloway take it from here.
As a former prosecutor and police officer and now a
practicing criminal lawyer, I've seen our criminal justice system from
all sides, for better or for worse, verdict after verdict.
What has struck me the most over the years are
the emotional consequences that come with each case. How can
(00:44):
an attorney defense someone, for example, who they know to
be guilty? Or how does it feel to be exonerated
after a wrongful conviction? What is it like to chase
a murderer in a cold case when all hope seems
to be lost. These are the untold stories and the
hard truth that has remained behind the curtain of our
(01:05):
criminal justice system until now. Welcome to Sworn. Sworn will
debut you with a two part series premiere on June.
Here's a sneak peek. The professional killer will come in
(01:25):
your house with a twenty two or twenty two man
and shoots you dead. Leave. They're not gonna cut your
damn head. All every humans being on the face of
this earth wants to know why I haven't saw this case.
Just the details of it. Were you know odd enough
(01:48):
that this couple living in this gated community, a wealthy
couple um with no apparent enemies or anything, that's been
brutally murdered. And then once you look more into it
and found out more detail, it's became more and more
of a mystery. This is the Derman residence on Caroline
Drive and the Great Waters section of Reynolds Plantation here
(02:11):
in Putnam County, out on Lake o'coney. We've used this
with other law enforcement agencies, only this has never been
shown to the public. Decapitation is a rare murderer in America.
When I walked back there and I saw that body there,
and then I didn't see the head, I was scared
that I was gonna be sitting there three years later,
(02:32):
not knowing who did this. The George Supreme Court said
many years ago that the office of sheriff carries with
it the duty to preserve the peace, protect the lives persons, property, health,
and morals of the people. Now that kind of says
at all, that's your duty. I'm not some hired city
(02:56):
police officer that has the authority to do something. I'm
not a state patrolman that has the authority to do
something on public roadwise. I'm to share with the duty
to protect this community. Place your left hand on the
(03:21):
bay of Bible and raise your right hand and repeat
after me. I do solemnly swear the jury trying to
get defended not scis and around the country. It makes
no sense. If it doesn't fit, you must equip judge.
You are the last line of reason in this case.
(03:42):
Very one of us took out all the office, and
we're sworn to uphold the Constitution. Thanks for listening to
the sneak peak of our new podcast called Sworn. Subscribe
