Matt Araiza was drafted by the Bills. Two days later, he was named in a civil lawsuit which destroyed his life. Although San Diego police and state's attorneys deemed the allegations as "not prosecutable" the money-grubbing lawsuit's claims were so scandalous that everyone assumed Araiza was a vicious criminal of the worst kind. Matt was wrongfully accused, and has refused to settle out of court, to make it just go away, saying his good name if priceless. Now his accuser has dropped the suit-- but how much damage has been done? And will there be consequences for her lies?

Jon and Jason ask hard questions about how people just believe egregious accusations without proof, and what kind of character it takes to stand up to them.

566. LAST CALL: Game Stop Won't Stop

1993. Upstate New York. A little girl on a bike walking uphill. A man in a blue and white pickup truck with out of state plates. Hours later, her bike and effects were found far from the road. A search began that never ended, even after Lewis Lent Junior claimed credit for the crime at his sentencing for another abduction and murder. But did Lent really abduct Wood-- or did he just want the infamy? Former cop Kendra and 911 dispatcher Jon speculate that the timing of Lent's confession and his refusal to leverage disclosing the location of her body even after 30 years, that maybe Lent only wanted to be notorious. But to convince a prosecutor and a judge, he had to know something the public did not. But what was it?

He's a national treasure. Miss USA has turned in her crown, along with a cryptic resignation letter.

564. UNCUFFED: The Drake vs Kendrick Lamar Feud

Okaloosa County Sheriff released body-camera video of a fatal use of force against and armed apartment dweller. This after race-baiter and hate monger blood money attorney Ben Crump, got involved.  Roger Fortson, 23, was an Airman, and according to multiple news agencies, was a black person. Of course the tragedy of a possibly mistaken address or identity is not enough, race must be brought into the issue. The politicians and the lawyers don't care if the cities burn, if departments are defunded, and there is no one to come help when you dial 9-1-1. because by then they will have gotten what they already wanted: more power for themselves.

Former cop Eric and current cop Tyler take on the case-- the other side is about to stoke the flames of hatred with lies, but these guys will tell you their perspective from years spent behind the badge.
