Her experience, her insight and laser sharp analysis are undeniable. Here’s a woman who’s devoted her career to protecting women and children from violence. And probably at great personal cost (not to mention risk! I can’t begin to imagine the haters and threats she gets). Some listeners are put off by her self promotion and rehashing of her credentials. I don’t seem to recall her doing it as much in her earlier episodes , and I wonder if recent challenges have frustrated her of late. Maybe she feels the need to reclaim her authority. Listening to Ghost Story must have been infuriating. She’s approached to give her professional opinion on a case that’s right up her alley, yet she’s reduced to a sound bite. We don’t hear any of her analysis. For those who listen to CA every week, yes it can get repetitive, but for those who drop in once in a blue moon, perhaps they need reminding who gives the analysis. A pro. Not some flakey crime junkie. And with the cases she studies, she must get armies of dimwits tweeting or leaving messages contradicting or arguing with her analysis. Hence even more compelled might she feel to restate her credentials.
If you argue with a brain surgeon about brain surgery, they’ll be quick to remind you who’s the expert in the conversation.
