*Please read description before listening* - The Adam Britton Case: Animal Cruelty, Criminal Behaviour & The Warning Signs We Can't Ignore
3w ago01:26:51Tap to summarizeContent Warning: This episode discusses animal cruelty and contains some non-graphic but distressing descriptions of animal abuse.We understand that this topic will be too upsetting for some listeners, and we completely respect that choice. However, as our guest Mark Randell from the Naturewatch Foundation explains, there is an important reason not to ignore cases like this. Animal cruelty thrives in silence. By confronting these crimes, we help ensure they are acknowledged, victims are not forgotten, offenders are held accountable, and pressure continues to build for stronger legislation, better enforcement and meaningful change.Following the recording of this episode, Seeing Red made a donation to the Naturewatch Foundation in support of their work protecting animals and campaigning for better welfare laws. If you'd like to support them too, you can donate here: Donate to Naturewatch FoundationTo learn more about the Naturewatch Foundation and the work they do around the world, visit Naturewatch Foundation.For this week's episode, Bethan is away, so I'm joined by Mark Randell from the Naturewatch Foundation, a former senior police detective who has spent years investigating animal abuse and campaigning to improve animal welfare around the world.Together, we examine one of the most disturbing criminal cases we've ever covered.Adam Britton was internationally respected as a crocodile expert and wildlife conservationist. Behind that carefully cultivated public image, however, investigators uncovered a catalogue of horrific offending that shocked even experienced detectives.In this episode, we explore how Britton managed to conceal his crimes for so long, what the investigation revealed, the psychology and behavioural warning signs discussed during the case, and the wider relationship between animal cruelty and other forms of serious offending.With Mark Randell's unique experience investigating these offences, we also discuss why animal abuse should never be dismissed as a lesser crime, and how cases like this can inform safeguarding and criminal justice.Listener discretion is strongly advised.http://www.youtube.com/@seeingredtruecrimepodcastwww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcasthttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtwwww.seeingredpodcast.co.ukTheme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →The Wrongfully Convicted Husband? The Murder of Christine Morton | Texas True Crime
May 2600:54:01Tap to summarizeThis week on Seeing Red, we travel back to Texas in the 1980s to examine a case that began with the brutal murder of Christine Morton — and led to one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice in modern American criminal history.Her husband, Michael Morton, quickly became the focus of the investigation and was convicted of her murder. But years later, serious questions began to emerge about what had really happened, and whether the wrong man had been sent to prison while the real killer remained free.We discuss the investigation, the evidence, the conviction, and the extraordinary fight that would eventually expose devastating failures within the justice system. A story of loss, wrongful conviction, and a search for the truth that took decades.www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcasthttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtwwww.seeingredpodcast.co.ukTheme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Hosted on Acast.
