00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Everyone. You've probably heard of Aaron Habil, my good friend

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and the co host of Generation Why, but you may

3
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>not have heard about his other incredible true crime investigative podcast, Framed.

4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Much like true crime Bullshit, Framed is a deep dive

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>investigative podcast. Season one covered the case of Brian Carrick,

6
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>which is very similar to the Brian Schaeffer disappearance. In

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>season two, Aaron covered the brutal shooting deaths of nine

8
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>monks in their temple in Arizona, and season three, which

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>launches this week, looks into the murder of Saint Clair

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>County Community College student Scott Macklum, as well as the

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>trial of Frederick Freeman. In this long form podcast, Aaron

12
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>digs deep into forensic evidence and tries to answer the

13
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>many questions that remain in the controversial case, like is

14
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>there sufficient proof that Frederick Freeman murdered Scott Macklum, if

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>there are any doubts about his guilt, why does he

16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>remain incarcerated and has gone through thousands of pages of

17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>documents in his quest to find the truth? And now

18
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you can deep dive with him. In season three of Framed,

19
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 1>out Now wherever you listen to podcasts. Here's a preview enjoy.

20
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Justice is widely understood to be the concept of moral

21
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>fairness and the administration of law, where individuals are treated

22
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>impartially and receive what they deserve based on their actions.

23
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>But circumstances are not always as clear cut as we

24
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>would like, and the quest for justice can be a

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>slippery slope. The nineteen eighty six killing of Scott Macklum

26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and resulting trial would test the very limits of justice

27
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>as we know it. When a shotgun blast rang out

28
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>on a frigid November morning on the campus of Saint

29
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Clair Community College in Port here On, Michigan, students within

30
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>earshot assumed it was a firecracker or a car backfiring,

31
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>or perhaps even a tire had blown out, But the

32
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>truth was that a young college student named Scott Macklum

33
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>had been pitilessly executed. Police settled quickly on a single suspect,

34
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a brash young man who was leading a somewhat alternative lifestyle.

35
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I am your host, Aaron, and this is Framed on

36
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the season of Framed. We're going to look at the

37
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>murder of Scott Macklum and the focus by law enforcement

38
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>and the justice system on a suspect named Frederick Freeman,

39
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>now known as pemmaging KENSU. Research and writing for this
