Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Deepfake Murder Cover-Up: James Craig's Shocking Jailhouse Plot EXPOSED!
Witness the truly astonishing and disturbing aftermath of the alleged crime as James Craig's post-arrest actions escalate into a shocking series of cover-up attempts. This episode meticulously details the accusations of a calculated, desperate scheme, including a chilling and morally reprehensible request to his own teenage daughter: to create a deepfake video of Angela admitting to suicide. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis provides expert legal analysis on the profound and devastating impact such manipulative behavior has on a jury, discussing the stringent legal standards that determine whether jailhouse letters, confessions, or coerced statements are admissible as evidence. We delve into the formidable challenge a defense attorney faces in attempting to explain or justify a request as bizarre and ethically bankrupt as involving one's own child in a deepfake suicide conspiracy. Crucially, we explore how this type of post-arrest manipulation, if verified, can retroactively strengthen the prosecution's case by proving the defendant's consciousness of guilt and original intent. Could these desperate actions result in additional, severe charges for Craig, fundamentally altering the dynamics of the ongoing murder trial? We consider the intense emotional reaction a jury might experience when confronted with evidence that the victim's own child was allegedly drawn into such a disturbing cover-up scheme. Furthermore, we ask whether this kind of egregious, post-crime behavior might ultimately be even more persuasive to a jury than the complex forensic evidence itself. Eric Faddis will dissect how prosecutors can strategically use these actions to weave a compelling thematic narrative: that James Craig didn't just meticulously plan the murder, but he also meticulously planned and executed the aftermath. Finally, we discuss the profound legal and ethical implications when a defendant treats their own family members not as loved ones, but as mere pawns in a desperate bid to escape justice.
