Description
Sword and Scale is a true crime podcast covering the dark underworld of crime and the criminal justice system’s response to it. The first episode launched January 1st, 2014 and feature stories of murder, abduction, rape, and even more bizarre forms of crime. It’s the purest form of true-crime where the raw uncensored audio tells the story. Everything from 911 calls to court testimony, interviews with victims and sometimes with perpetrators give listeners a 360 degree look at the seedy underbelly of human nature and so-called civilized society. Told from an everyman's point of view, Sword and Scale goes beyond the news clips and the sensationalist headlines to hold up a mirror to the audience and ask, "Is it us versus them? Or are we just like 'them' too?" Sword and scale proves that the worst monsters are real.

Philosopher John Locke believed that we have no innate ideas; our minds are blank slates upon which experience writes. Modern geneticists argue that we are nothing but the stage on which a play written by our genes is performed. The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology, and countless experiments tested which theory is correct. However, none have ever come close to explaining what happened to 65-year-old Nancy Noone and her twin children.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement

Great episode, such a nice ending, for once lol
damn this girl can ramble on and on
a poor man's Donald Trump, so sad.
She should have left a note. Because they always go after the husband.
I bet and all that time Her so called friend. He's saying to people her husband did it without any proof. Damaging his name. I say what's the truth is Uncovered sue her defamation of character. Make the Gossip lonely cat, lady pay.
You seen how his demeanor changed? When he says can I go? He says you're free to go if you want. But you see how it looks on you, you fuckn killed her. Lawyer m.f you should never answer any questions. Without a lawyer present what the fuck happened to inocente before Proven guilty
oh yeah buddy there trying to point the finger on you. lawyer m.f
Lawyer.. Mutherfucker!!
They're going by the gossip and goose's statement. No evidence, no police work bn done.
Who's marriage is in the honeymoon Stage everyday? Hell, there's time I hate. My wife doesn't mean I want to kill her. hell I love that woman but she drives me nuts.
I think her friend killed her
Damn this bitch sounds like a Jealous lonely 15 minutes of fame. Seeker
This is what happens when you have a loose Tongue They took her statements like a gossiping. Next door neighbor as facts . Let's look into your closet and see the skeletons you have in your closet. Probably have a greevyard.
juries, eh? if u ever find me in a jury and u r accused of a crime, know that a dumbass is judging u and u don't ever want that to happen... that's what I think about juries. fact is we don't know if he did it... but if the jury had found him guilty, he would have spent his life in prison... so much for long sentences... if u r innocent and u get 15 years, u will still get out, but life or 35 or 50 to life, that's the end. hold on polygraphs don't lie ... why do we even bother? maybe he did it after all...
Still best podcast out there. Period. #boudetforpresident
starts @4:20 - nice 👍🏾
The blood hound should have checked for Matt’s scent, it may have led them to Emily. He probably carried her to the woods.
👍
