Episode 12: The Fat Theory

A young field worker is found dead after a party and altercation. This week, Alisha takes you through the death of a Ramiro Fidel and the trial of Santiago Ventura. While this case is burdened with sloppy police work, judgemental investigators and an unimaginably mishandled trial, you’ll soon learn how it changed Oregon’s legal system. You’ll also spiral with Alisha and Emily as they explore the now infamous, ‘Fat Theory’.
