Kylie Lowe: 作为主持人,我详细介绍了Karen Clark和B.J. Brown被谋杀的案件背景。我描述了受害者,案件发生的环境,以及Peeler兄弟的犯罪活动。我强调了B.J. Brown作为关键证人的角色,以及警方未能有效保护他和他的母亲。我阐述了案件的法律程序,包括对Peeler兄弟的指控、审判和判决,以及后续的法律改革和争议。我希望通过讲述这个悲剧故事,揭示司法系统的漏洞,并呼吁加强对证人的保护。 Oswald Clark: 作为Karen Clark的兄弟,我强烈谴责了布里奇波特市和康涅狄格州允许Peeler兄弟逍遥法外,对社区造成了极大的危害。我声称我的妹妹和侄子本可以活下来,如果州政府有更强的证人保护措施。我强调了家庭在失去Karen和BJ后所遭受的痛苦,以及对司法系统的不信任。我认为,Adrian Peeler的贩毒罪比杀害我的妹妹和侄子更严重,这让我感到非常愤怒和失望。我希望通过我的声音,让更多人关注证人保护的重要性,并确保类似的悲剧不再发生。 Josephine Lee: 作为案件的关键证人,我承认了我在案件中的角色,包括监视Karen的房子和向Russell报告他们的行踪。我描述了Adrian Peeler如何进入Karen的家,并杀害了Karen和B.J.。我承认我最初的证词有所改变,但我坚持我所说的是真相。我希望通过我的证词,帮助将凶手绳之以法,并为受害者伸张正义。我知道我的过去无法改变,但我希望我的证词能够为受害者家属带来一些安慰。 Ryan Peeler: 作为Adrian Peeler的表弟,我证实了在谋杀案发生当晚,我将Adrian的兄弟Russell的车开回了Russell的家。我描述了Russell告诉我他一整天都待在家里,他的兄弟Adrian正在为他“做一些事情”。我希望通过我的证词,帮助警方了解案件的真相,并将凶手绳之以法。我知道我的证词可能会对我的家人不利,但我相信正义必须得到伸张。

Shownotes Transcript

The mother and son had just gotten home from a trip to the store and had no sooner brought their bags into their Bridgeport, Connecticut home when they heard the doorbell ring. As Karen Clarke turned the doorknob to see who was on the other side, she and her son, B.J. Brown Jr., were ambushed and gunned down in their own home. 

This case has eyewitnesses, it has clear and critical evidence, it has a strong motive, and I’m here to tell you that it has an ending… But I wouldn’t say it has justice in its entirety. The rug was pulled out from under the feet of Karen and B.J.’s family earlier this year when they learned one of the perpetrators would see the outside of prison walls long before they ever thought possible.
