Podcast cover

The Expert Witness from Uncover

This episode of CBC's Uncover podcast, "Sea of Lies," details the murder trial of Albert Walker for the killing of Ronald Platt. The prosecution builds its case with testimony from Walker's daughter, Sheena, who reveals her father asked her to lie, and from Elaine, Platt's former partner, who outlines Walker's motive. The podcast covers the forensic evidence, Walker's testimony, and his disastrous cross-examination, culminating in a guilty verdict. Despite circumstantial evidence, the jury convicts Walker, and the episode explores the aftermath, including Walker's day parole being revoked due to his continued dishonesty and Sheena's perspective on her father's manipulative nature.
