I’m Brandi Churchwell, creator and host of 13th Juror, a true-crime podcast that breaks down real trials, real testimony, and real evidence — from both sides of the courtroom.
Two sides, the same evidence. You decide what to believe.
One thing I've learned is that the media only reports what they want you to hear. This podcast is set up to give you ALL the details as I take complicated court cases and present them as compelling stories, breaking down the details and weighing them from a non-legal perspective, just like the jurors do.
Is Karen Read a vengeful murderer? Or is she being framed by a well-connected family full of Boston area law enforcement and officials? It's one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history, and there's a new twist at every turn. Binge this chart-topping podcast from the start, through both trials, and the final verdict.

Brandi Churchwell is a true-crime podcaster and legal-case analyst known for comprehensive, evidence-driven storytelling.
She was the first creator to cover the Karen Read case in a fully serialized podcast format. That series climbed the top true-crime charts and led to her signing with Audiochuck, where she joined a respected roster of investigative hosts and original shows.
Brandi’s work centers on balance, clarity, and the belief that understanding both sides of a case is essential to understanding justice itself.

I regularly appear on livestreams, panels, and media discussions to provide clear, evidence-based analysis of high-profile cases as they unfold. My focus is on context- what the jury heard, how the evidence fits together, and where reasonable interpretations may differ.
Visual breakdowns of timelines, testimony, phone data, and evidence — created to make complex cases easier to follow and understand.
