After the Matthew Farwell verdict, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on True Crime Today to talk about the loyalty that surrounded Sandra Birchmore's killer, beginning with his twin brother. The former Stoughton police detective is guilty of killing Sandra and her unborn child.William Farwell wore the same badge as his brother. He asked for immunity because he'd been with Sandra on duty, and he told the jury Sandra once texted him that she was fifteen when Matthew first got involved with her. William's reply to her was "Nice." A Stoughton dispatcher testified that when he told Matthew about a call from Sandra's friend, Matthew got angry and told him never to bring it up again.Shavaun and I talk about the instinct to say "he'd never do that," how a man's own secrets shape his silence, and why staying out of it can feel safer than asking a hard question. We ask why people get angrier at whoever speaks up, and how you help someone report what she knows when she's afraid of what it will cost.The conviction carries a mandatory life sentence, and Farwell is due back in court for sentencing in February.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
