Meanwhile, we learn of Charlene's affair and the victim's daughter (me!) takes the stand. Hang on folks, this pod has a lot of information.

2020-04-2950 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningApr 26, 2020 | In the News | The Prosecution Rests in 1982The twists and turns of my father and stepmother's lives, along with the cast of supporting characters you couldn't make-up, turns Alsip's preliminary hearing into a crazy, convoluted mess. But the stuff they have on the pastor?!? This is nuts. Sometimes I can't help but laugh!

2020-04-2639 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningApr 25, 2020 | In the News | Working our Way Toward the Preliminary Hearing in 1982We know Joe Alsip didn't do it, and yet, he's sitting in jail, month after month, based on evidence, procedures, hypnosis and more and time just keeps slipping away. As does the money. What a hot mess this is. More from the Ventura Star Free Press.

We also learn more about my dad's amazingly convoluted business dealings - I have no idea how they kept everything straight. Turns out, maybe they didn't.

In sharp contrast, the real killer is soaking up California resources like a dry lake bed in Mono County.

I did it on video for the Life Coach Pod (it's on YouTube) if you want to see Stacey in person. At the end of the interview, she talked about the Golden State Killer and then, and then! Stacey blew my mind. All the feels.

I have loved getting to know Caryl and I am bummed I didn't get to know Charlene better as an adult. I had one last visit, that was everything, and it turns out, it was the same for Caryl. I hope you enjoy this.

There were two lawsuits filed in Ventura in late 1980 and early 1981. One was by us, dad's kids, for wrongful death. The other was against my dad's estate, brought by one of his business partners who was left "holding the bag". In both cases, we have more of a mystery than answers. Maybe you'll know what I should do next!

2020-03-2531 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMarch 23, 2020 | Bonus | Audio Version of My Live Talk (version with slides on Lawyers Daughter YouTube)Here's the audio version of my live talk - the audio/visual version is here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yyFcM8h85d4. The video has slides of photos you might find interesting. This is the jist of our whole story, or at least the Readers' Digest version (that means it's high-level and moves across time rather quickly). Also features guest audio from one of DeAngelo's rape survivors.
2020-03-241h 23The JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 17, 2020 | In the News | March 19, 1980 to May 18, 1980These articles from my Murder Book explain how the case isn't going anywhere and law enforcement is basically stumped. You might want to listen to the other In the News pod first so you have the coverage from day one. This picks up where that leaves off and I end with some feelings I didn't expect. It's just baffling to me how much they didn't really understand about the crime scene and the evidence. The assumptions, based on what we know today, are mind-blowing.
2020-03-1848 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 16, 2020 | Now | What Incarceration Might Look Like for DeAngeloThe DNA has been obtained and now we have a chance to talk about what incarceration might look like for DeAngelo - if he ends up on Death Row or if he does manage to provide a plea that satisfies everyone and is incarcerated for life without parole (LWOP they call it). If he doesn't die from Coronavirus, what might his future hold? Here's a look at what I learned.
2020-03-1742 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 13, 2020 | Now | Court Date March 12, 2020 - More DNA Swabs and LawyersIt was a busy day yesterday. Started with a meeting with the defense. This happened because the defense sent a letter to those of use with charges earlier this year. I met with them in the morning at the Sacramento District Attorney's Office. After that, I grabbed a beverage and headed to court. It was a longer session than we expected, but really interesting. After that, we were whisked off to meet with the Prosecutors - and that went very well. This pod is a bit more extemporaneous than usual because I'm exhausted today and wanted to get this...2020-03-1450 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 11, 2020 | Now | Defense Response to Taking Additional DNA Swabs (for Tomorrow's Hearing)On March 7th, I went through the prosecution's request for additional DNA. You might want to listen to that first, before you listen to this one. Today, I go through the defense response to the motion and it's long and a little whiny. They make a few valid points. There's one giant argument that's closely related to the Motion to Dismiss (that won't be heard tomorrow). I wonder how the judge will rule - he might end up tabling the whole thing until April 29th, the date of the next hearing. We will see!
2020-03-1152 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 10, 2020 | Then | 1968 Learning to Ride a BikeThe news is going to get real again as we head into the hearing on Thursday, so I thought today we'd take a little break and go back to 1968 - the year I got a bike and what happened when my dad tried to teach me how to ride it. I love that my parents were super utilitarian and expected us to figure things out so quickly. Considering this foreshadowing for what happens next!
2020-03-1027 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 8, 2020 | Now | Marsy's Law - California's Victim's Bill of RightsWith many of us feeling like we aren't getting all the information we need, I take a look at Marsy's Law, California edition, and what this means for anyone who is a victim of crime. Along the way, I also discuss how this law was enacted in California using our Initiative Process (for better or worse) and how these turn into Propositions that are voted on by the citizens. I also briefly discuss Prop 69, that made it legal to collect DNA.
2020-03-0941 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 7, 2020 | Now | Motion to Collect Five Buccal Swabs of DeAngelo's DNAThis motion is what will be argued on Thursday. I discovered, in the motion, information I didn't know before. I think you'll find it satisfying. The prosecution does a wonderful job of stating clearly and firmly that this additional DNA is needed and why. I also share some feedback from Gaye based on yesterday's podcast and a little personal information about my love of journalism and journalists.
2020-03-0743 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 6, 2020 | Now | Not All Victims Are Treated EquallyIt turns out there are different kinds of victims in this messy, ginormous case and depending on the crime or where you live, you'll have a different experience from other victims. This episode explains the different factions and the different kinds of communication we are getting and expresses our desire to be considered as one large group to the extent that is possible. Included are statements from Kris and Gaye, who do a phenomenal job of expressing their frustration from different victim subsets.

The JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningMar 5, 2020 | Now | DeAngelo Wants to PleaI’m back! This is a reboot of my podcast about the Golden State Killer. There's so much stuff happening in public and behind the scenes, this is the best way to keep up! Today I talk about DeAngelo apparently offering a plea (as announced in a footnote on page seven of the Motion to Dismiss) and discovered by Paige St. John of the LA Times. I saw a notification on Reddit that stopped me cold. This episode covers what's happened since Tuesday with regard to the offer, questions the intentions of the defense and confirms the existence of a...2020-03-0633 min
Hugo's PostsConversations: Jennifer Carole the Lawyer's DaughterJennifer Carole is an "Energy Life Coach and experienced marketing professional from Silicon Valley" whose life was forever altered by the rape and murder of her stepmom and the murder of her father in 1980. In recent years (2018) Joseph DeAngelo, who is now known to be the Golden State Killer, was arrested for this crime and dozens of other rapes, murders and burglaries throughout California in the late 1970s. On today's episode, a thoughtful, energetic and empowered Jennifer shares details of the events of that traumatic day, her realization that she is part of a vast community of victims/survivors, changes...2020-01-301h 19The JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | Aug 23, 2018 Court DateOn August 23, 2018, we attended court to hear 26 more charges be brought against Joseph DeAngelo, the accused Golden State Killer and East Area Rapist. It was intense, sad and different. I also get out a few soap boxes in this one!
2018-09-1340 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | My Visit With a MediumThis bonus track is podcast only (I didn't write about it on my blog). My friend took me to a Medium and guess who showed up!?

2018-09-1022 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | In the News on March 17, 1980Ripped from the headlines: I read and comment about actual news coverage in Ventura in March 1980, when my dad and stepmom were found and the early days of the investigation. Based on two articles from the Ventura County Star Free Press. Eventually we'd learn they were killed by the Golden State Killer, aka East Area Rapist, but back then, it's amazing how little we really knew about the case.
2018-07-2921 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | Seeing DeAngelo For The First TimeIt was time to see DeAngelo, the man who killed my dad and stepmom, for the first time. Here's what happened.
2018-07-2927 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | Preparing To See DeAngelo For The First TimeI came to Sacramento for the weekend before I'd see Joseph DeAngelo, the accused Golden State Killer, for the first time. Here's what I did with my time - before the nerves kicked in on Sunday night. I was way more anxious than I thought I would be.
2018-07-2918 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | The ArrestI never ever thought my dad and stepmom's killer would be caught. I mean I just didn't. I had decided in my head he was dead. And then, April 2018, an arrest was made! The Golden State Killer, East Area Rapist had been caught. Joseph DeAngelo stands accused. Hot damn. Here's what happened from my perspective.
2018-07-2420 minThe JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The ReckoningLegacy Podcast | The MurdersIn March 1980, my dad and stepmother (Lyman and Charlene Smith) were found murdered in their home in Ventura, California. It took decades to find out who killed them and why. This is what happened the day my younger brother discovered their bodies.
