**CONTENT WARNING**

Just a gentle heads up before we dive in: this episode touches on sensitive topics related to disability and crime, including the case of Oscar Pistorius and some things that may upset some listeners (drug/alcohol talk, weapon talk). If that's something that might be tough for you to listen to, I understand entirely, and please feel free to skip this one.
