THE PREPPY MURDER CASE: WHO IS TO BLAME?

The Alarmist
About this episode

It's a given that Robert Chambers is to blame for the brutal murder of 18 year old Jennifer Levin. But who is to blame for Jennifer not getting the justice she deserved? How was a murder victim perceived as more villanous than the murderer? Rebecca Delgado Smith and her guest Nicole Shabtai will figure out who is to blame. On the board: Archbishop McCarrick, Defense Attorney Jack Litman, The New York Social Scene, and The New York Post.
