Speaker 1: Everyone. You've probably heard of Aaron Habil, my good friend
Speaker 1: and the co host of Generation Why, but you may
Speaker 1: not have heard about his other incredible true crime investigative podcast, Framed.
Speaker 1: Much like true crime Bullshit, Framed is a deep dive
Speaker 1: investigative podcast. Season one covered the case of Brian Carrick,
Speaker 1: which is very similar to the Brian Schaeffer disappearance. In
Speaker 1: season two, Aaron covered the brutal shooting deaths of nine
Speaker 1: monks in their temple in Arizona, and season three, which
Speaker 1: launches this week, looks into the murder of Saint Clair
Speaker 1: County Community College student Scott Macklum, as well as the
Speaker 1: trial of Frederick Freeman. In this long form podcast, Aaron
Speaker 1: digs deep into forensic evidence and tries to answer the
Speaker 1: many questions that remain in the controversial case, like is
Speaker 1: there sufficient proof that Frederick Freeman murdered Scott Macklum, if
Speaker 1: there are any doubts about his guilt, why does he
Speaker 1: remain incarcerated and has gone through thousands of pages of
Speaker 1: documents in his quest to find the truth? And now
Speaker 1: you can deep dive with him. In season three of Framed,
Speaker 1: out Now wherever you listen to podcasts. Here's a preview enjoy.
Speaker 1: Justice is widely understood to be the concept of moral
Speaker 1: fairness and the administration of law, where individuals are treated
Speaker 1: impartially and receive what they deserve based on their actions.
Speaker 1: But circumstances are not always as clear cut as we
Speaker 1: would like, and the quest for justice can be a
Speaker 1: slippery slope. The nineteen eighty six killing of Scott Macklum
Speaker 1: and resulting trial would test the very limits of justice
Speaker 1: as we know it. When a shotgun blast rang out
Speaker 1: on a frigid November morning on the campus of Saint
Speaker 1: Clair Community College in Port here On, Michigan, students within
Speaker 1: earshot assumed it was a firecracker or a car backfiring,
Speaker 1: or perhaps even a tire had blown out, But the
Speaker 1: truth was that a young college student named Scott Macklum
Speaker 1: had been pitilessly executed. Police settled quickly on a single suspect,
Speaker 1: a brash young man who was leading a somewhat alternative lifestyle.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Aaron, and this is Framed on
Speaker 1: the season of Framed. We're going to look at the
Speaker 1: murder of Scott Macklum and the focus by law enforcement
Speaker 1: and the justice system on a suspect named Frederick Freeman,
Speaker 1: now known as pemmaging KENSU. Research and writing for this
