Notorious crims and Pearl Jam: Trent Dalton Pt.1

Ex-solicitor Karina Berger reveals how she became a true crime investigator behind Bronwyn and The Poisoned Wife podcasts.

In this episode:

• Why Karina left law to hunt the truth in cold cases

• Inside the research behind The Poisoned Wife investigation

• How podcasts are forcing the system to revisit unsolved deaths

The citizen sleuth investigating cold cases: Karina Berger Pt. 1

Gary Jubelin talks to Kerry Tucker, ex-prisoner turned reform advocate, about her 20-year journey from "jail lawyer" to PhD holder and prison reform champion.

In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with Kerry Tucker, former prisoner turned prison reform advocate to track her extraordinary 20-year redemption.

Inside, Kerry became known as the "jail lawyer." 

She kept daily diaries, completed a Master of Arts through Swinburne University (the first Australian university graduation ever held inside a prison), wrote a children's book for incarcerated mothers that's still in circulation today, and began writing parole letters for other women, going from almost no women getting parole to 38 at her lowest count.

She spent her final 6 months working in a law firm in Werribee, left prison on a Friday and was lecturing at university on the Monday, went on to complete a PhD, and has spent two decades advocating for prison reform, education and fraud awareness.

That work was formally recognised in November 2022, when the Magistrates' Court of Victoria spent and removed her criminal and prison record with the endorsement of the Victorian Chief Commissioner of Police, the Attorney General of Victoria, the Assistant Commissioner of Corrections and the Chief Magistrate.
