  • True Crime Wave: A Conversation With Our Moderator

    True Crime Wave: A Conversation With Our Moderator
    Apr 17 2025

    Today, we will discuss issues around moderation with Elle, the moderator for our Facebook group. If you'd like to join, search Murder Sheet Discussion Group on Facebook — just remember to follow the rules! We spoke with Elle about how moderators can help save true crime.

    In our new segment, True Crime Wave, we’ll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims’ families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won’t get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

  • The JFK Assassination: A Conversation with Warren Commission Lawyer and Author Burt Griffin On the Mysteries of Jack Ruby

    The JFK Assassination: A Conversation with Warren Commission Lawyer and Author Burt Griffin On the Mysteries of Jack Ruby
    Apr 8 2025

    Over six decades ago, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. A few days later, Oswald himself was killed by Jack Ruby. A week later, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (commonly known as the Warren Commission, after named after chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren) with investigating the assassination.

    Recently, we interviewed a lawyer who worked on that commission: Burt W. Griffin. Judge Griffin was assistant legal counsel to the Warren Commission. He was especially tasked with investigating issues related to Ruby. He recently authored a book on his experience investigating the murder: JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth. He spoke to us about his initial reaction to the assassination, why the lawyers on the commission wanted there to be a conspiracy afoot, and what he learned as he dug into the case.
