About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial shooting case involving Olympic dressage competitor Michael Barisone and his student Lauren Kanarek, exploring themes of innocence and mental health.

Olympic dressage competitor Michael Barisone shot his student, Lauren Kanarek, in 2019 after a year of tension and alleged harassment. Though Lauren was the victim, do Emily and Shane believe she’s entirely innocent?  Was Michael’s “temporary insanity” case valid, considering he still looked mentally unstable two years after the shooting?!  Plus, what did they think about the Netflix documentary on this case? Do others agree that Lauren isn’t the most likable?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
