Episode Description
A Facebook post comparing the murder of Calum Simpson to violence against women raised a question we couldn't stop thinking about:
Do we treat violence against women differently than violence against men?
At first, the answer seemed obvious.
Then we started reading the court records.
In this episode, we tell Calum Simpson's story—from the night he met two strangers to the evidence presented in court—and explain why one social media post sent us down a much bigger investigation.
This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
In Part 2, we leave the courtroom and follow the research to see whether the evidence actually supports what we thought when we started.
