Two major true crime cases. Two very different outcomes.
⚖️ The murder case against Aaron Spencer has been DISMISSED.
⚖️ Brendan Banfield has been SENTENCED TO LIFE.

🚲 WORLD BICYCLE DAY 🚲
Whether you're chasing justice, chasing leads, or just chasing a little fresh air, World Bicycle Day is a reminder that sometimes the best way to clear your head is to get moving.
No subpoenas. No motions. No crime scene photos. Just two wheels, an open road, and a chance to enjoy the ride.
Question for the courtroom: What's your favorite place to bike—or if you don't ride, what's your favorite way to unplug from the true crime world?
