And you guys know, I am always on the lookout for cases that need their season of justice. And a case recently came across my desk that had me questioning everything. Although it was technically solved, whether or not justice was fully served is still a big question. And thankfully, investigative journalists, your favorite in mind, Delia Diambra is diving into all those details of this case for season seven of counterclock. The case centers around a shocking murder that rocked a close-knit community. And while police launched an investigation immediately, after days, they still had no solid leads. But then things took a drastic turn when a concerned mother called the police to learn more about the case. And this call alone completely changed the direction of the investigation. Soon after five teenagers were arrested for the murder. But what unfolded next has me truly questioning the very fabric of our justice system. There are layers upon layers to this case. And it is one that holds so many players, stories and perspectives. And I promise you, you will want to hear all of it so that you can decide what you believe. I'm going to give you the first episode of counterclock season seven right here, right now. And then you can head over to the counterclock feed to catch the other three episodes that just dropped. And be sure to follow counterclock wherever you get your podcast so you don't miss a single episode of this season. This is the story of Nathaniel Jones.
For some people, there have been distinct moments in our lives where we felt death upon us. It was visceral, overwhelming, terrifying. The sensation may have whizzed by us in a fleeting second, or maybe it dragged on for minutes, hovering like humidity on a late summer day. No single experience is the same. Becoming a victim of a violent crime sometimes leaves physical scars.
