The Jim Rathmann Show Podcast - EP02 The Melanie Curtin Case — Part 2

In this episode of The Jim Rathmann Podcast, Jim returns with Part Two of the Melanie Curtin case and takes you inside the trial that led to her life sentence without parole – and why higher courts later called that conviction into question. Jim breaks down: How a 17-minute video from November 8, 2014 (the night LSU played Alabama) became the centerpiece of the prosecution’s case What really happened in that video according to Juror #3, including key details the jury wasn’t allowed to fully understand The expert witness controversy, including a toxicology expert testifying about impairment from a still photo How exculpatory evidence, prior patterns, internet search histories, and the victim’s own background and sworn affidavit were kept away from the jury The intense, allegedly coercive and hostile jury deliberations that ended with a guilty verdict after threats, shouting, and even a juror punching a wall Why the First Circuit Court of Appeal and later the Louisiana Supreme Court both agreed that Melanie did not receive a fair trial and ordered the conviction tossed What happened to Melanie next – ankle monitor, restricted movement, and the Attorney General’s continued push to retry the case Jim also exposes the alleged contradictions between the victim’s testimony and her own past statements and documents, and raises serious questions about perjury, prosecutorial strategy, and the integrity of the criminal justice process in this case. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sex crimes, alleged drugging, abuse, and crimes involving children. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
