  Sword and Scale  

Sword and Scale is an internet radio show and website covering the dark underworld of crime and the criminal justice system’s response to it. The first episode launched January 1st, 2014 and feature stories of murder, abduction, rape, and even more bizarre forms of crime. It’s the purest form of true-crime where the raw uncensored audio tells the story. Everything from 911 calls to court testimony, interviews with victims and sometimes with perpetrators give listeners a 360 degree look at the seedy underbelly of human nature and so-called civilized society. Told from an everyman's point of view, Sword and Scale goes beyond the news clips and the sensationalist headlines to hold up a mirror to the audience and ask, "Is it us versus them? Or are we just like 'them' too?" Sword and scale proves that the worst monsters are real.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at [https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement] (https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement)

Modern geneticists argue that we are nothing but the stage on which a play written by our genes is performed. The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology, and countless experiments tested which theory is correct. However, none have ever come close to explaining what happened to 65-year-old Nancy Noone and her twin children.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at [https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement] (https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement) ...

For months, this kind-hearted and well-liked family had seemingly been victims of repeated thefts, harassment, vandalism, and an attempted break-in. Meanwhile, there were no other reports of similar crimes in the area, which suggested that The Pleskovics were being targeted. But by who? And why? Then, in late October of that year, the police were called to the home for the last time, and when they arrived, they found one of the most gruesome and bloody murder scenes that the city of Strongsville had ever seen.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at [https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement] (https://www.spreaker.com/show/5895676/advertisement) ...
