Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

The Lonoke County Prosecutor is calling it vigilante justice. The defense calls it a father protecting his child.
In this Hidden Killers interview, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta unpack the State’s new filing in the Aaron Spencer case — a motion to use body-cam footage recorded three months before the shooting. In it, Spencer, furious after learning his daughter had been assaulted, tells deputies he doesn’t trust the system and says, “Sometimes you’ve got to handle things yourself.”
The prosecution wants those words played for jurors as proof of premeditation. The defense argues they show grief and disbelief, not intent. Bob Motta explains how prosecutors use Rule 404(b) to sway perception, how the defense fights back, and why this single piece of evidence could define the case.
This is the battle over emotion versus law, instinct versus restraint — and what happens when the justice system fails before a father ever pulls the trigger.
