Something Was Wrong
S22: WCN Presents: [Madison McGhee] Ice Cold Case

If you as a police officer don't collect the proper evidence that allows someone to get away with murder, by definition, are you not an accomplice? And where's the accountability for that? And why are we not making people do the right thing at every crime scene, regardless of the context, regardless of the color of skin of the victim, and making them do the exact same thing every time?

This was 2002. So the argument is DNA wasn't really a thing then. That's not true. It was introduced as evidence in 1986. That's plenty of time to catch up to speed. And there were cases not that far away that were swiping for fingerprints long before then. I just think that there's a certain set of protocols you have to do.

Now, if you can't solve a case after doing those things, that's a completely different story. But if you haven't given a case the proper chance to survive in court, then are you not somewhat responsible for that? I can't even really knock them for not following a protocol because there isn't one. I just wish that there was.

My initial gut reaction when you are like, what's getting you through? I'm like, Vanderpump Rules. I love all of those shows. They're my little escape. I am obsessed with TV, which is funny because I work in it and people usually don't like to go home and do the thing that they do at work. Not everyone can process their trauma through their work. So I guess in a way I'm fortunate.

Although some days I would argue that it's the worst thing I ever did. But my TV is on 95% of the time. I write my episodes with Real Housewives playing in the background. It weirdly keeps me going. It used to be I was a very social person and now I'm not at all. I just love sitting at home. I have a cat. She's amazing.

I think finding that thing that becomes your escape, at least for me, was that this was a side project. This in the beginning was sort of my escape from everything. And I would work on it every now and then. Eventually, it became very all consuming. And that transition happens very fast.
