Sound of Pursuit Podcast 5.26.26 - The "Blood Will Tell" Podcast

Twin brothers, 18 years old, go to a party in San Jose, California. A fight ensues. Somebody gets stabbed — and dies. The brothers are arrested, and one twin is charged with murder. The wrong twin. And he stays in jail for nearly two years before the guilty twin finally comes clean. My guest, author and journalist Jennifer Miller, met one of the brothers, Trung, while reporting a story for the Washington Post. Trung had joined a group that was performing Othello, in a program that uses Shakespeare’s plays to help rehabilitate people serving prison terms. Miller says the story Trung told her was so extraordinary that it “felt like Shakespeare himself could have written it.” She spent years getting to know the twins and earning their trust. She then shared their story in a podcast called “Blood Will Tell." It's not a true crime podcast in the strictest sense — Miller's burning question wasn't "who did what?" To her, this story was all about the why: Why did one brother take the blame for nearly two years? Why did the other one let him? Listen to this episode to find out how Jennifer Miller knew this was the story of a lifetime. And then, download and listen to "Blood Will Tell" to learn the answers to the deeper "why" questions asked above.
