Full Episode
Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. All right, you guys, my next guest is Beth Karras. You may recognize Beth Karras from legally analyzing cases like JonBenet Ramsey, Natalia Grace, Casey Anthony, Jodi Arias. She's covered all of these cases on shows, on documentaries, docu-series, deep dives.
Throughout her career, Beth has provided legal analysis on different cases and she's very knowledgeable. She does the deep dives and I absolutely love her. I think I first saw Beth on ID Channel. So that's where I know her from. She got a bachelor's degree in political science and Spanish from Mount Holyoke. And she graduated with a Juris Doctor from Fordham Law School.
Those are her credentials to start. In 1987, she was admitted to the New York State Bar. And from 1987 to 1994, she actually worked as an ADA, an assistant district attorney in New York City under the legendary district attorney Robert Morgenthau. They were prosecuting cases ranging from robbery and rape to racketeering and political corruption.
And in 1994, she actually joins Court TV, later True TV, as an on-air legal analyst and correspondent. She begins covering high profile criminal cases across the United States. And so that's where she transitions to, you know, covering all of these cases. And in 2003 into 2004, she covers the Scott Peterson trial, which we talk about in this episode.
And as you guys know, that's one of the most sensational murder cases in the US. And then in 2011, and I followed this case so closely, she provides analysis of the Casey Anthony trial, a case that obviously captivated the nation. The interest is still ongoing today. From 2012 to 2013, Beth covers the Jodi Arias murder trial, which became one of Court TV's most widely followed cases.
And she also covers Conrad Murray, Drew Peterson, and Phil Spector. So if you're familiar with any of those cases, you might recognize Beth from her legal analysis on these cases. All right, today we have Beth Karras on Barely Famous Podcast. Thank you so much for joining us. Well, my pleasure.
I'm so excited because I have seen you on so many docuseries and things like that, especially on ID Channel. So I'm so happy to have you.
Well, I'm excited to talk about my career, the shows I've been in, the latest series, whatever you want to talk about. So the latest series is The Curious Case. Curious case of, and then there's six episodes, and the rest of that phrase, the curious case of, depends on that episode. The curious case of the girl who died twice, that was the second episode.
I don't know all, I don't have all the names memorized, but each one, curious case of Bam Margera. The curious case of Natalia Grace. Yes. Curious case of Natalia Grace, but that was one ongoing story that lasted for three seasons, right? Six episodes for the first two seasons and then four episodes. And the new series that I'm in, it's just one standalone story each episode.
