We are living in a time when crime does not stop at the courtroom. It continues in the headline, on social media, and in the public’s imagination.

This week on Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer discuss the laws that prevent offenders from profiting off their crimes and why cases like Bryan Kohberger’s continue to test those boundaries.

They talk about the world of murderabilia and the broader culture that turns high-profile cases into collectibles and conversation.

They also examine an ongoing beheading case involving a former adult film actress that has drawn national attention, plus several other stories of interest this week.

Highlights:
