Við ætlum að byrja í Mexíkó. Þú ræddir í vetur Birta við Azam Ahmed, blaðamann á New York Times, í vetur um bók sem hann skrifaði um sögu Miriam Rodríguez. Hún er frá Mexíkó og dóttur hennar var rænt og hún drepin af mönnum sem tilheyra skipulögðum glæpasamtökum. Hún ákvað að taka málin í sínar hendur og við fjölluðum um sögu hennar en einnig miklum áhrifum glæpagengja í Mexíkó. Þó einhver árangur hafi náðst í að draga úr áhrifum þeirra eru skipulögð glæpasamtök fimmti stærsti atvinnurekandinn í Mexíkó. Um 175 þúsund eru talin starfa innan þeirra vébanda. Dönsk stjórnvöld komu getnaðarvarnarlykkjunni fyrir í líkömum kvenna og stúlkna á Grænlandi, án vitundar þeirra, til að hægja á fólksfjölgun og var tilrauninni lýst sem vel heppnaðri. Formaður mannréttindaráðs Grænlands segir mikilvægt að rannsaka málið ofan í kjölinn og skera úr um hvort þessi mannréttindabrot beri að skilgreina sem þjóðarmorð. Sumar stúlknanna hafi aðeins verið ellefu ára gamlar. Dagný Hulda Erlendsdóttir fjallaði um eitt umdeildasta mál sem hefur komið þar upp í langan tíma.

Hvað gerir móðir þegar dóttur hennar er rænt og hún drepin af mönnum sem tilheyra skipulögðum glæpasamtökum? Vitandi af gjörspilltu og um margt lömuðu stjórnkerfi heimalands síns ákvað hin mexíkóska Miriam Rodríguez að taka málin í sínar hendur og hefna dóttur sinnar. Saga hennar er sögð í nýlegri bók eftir Azam Ahmed, blaðamann á New York Times. Við ræðum við Azam í Heimskviðum í dag en í bókinni er einnig sagt frá uppgangi og miklum áhrifum glæpagengja í Mexíkó. Þó einhver árangur hafi náðst í að draga úr áhrifum þeirra eru skipulögð glæpasamtök fimmti stærsti atvinnurekandinn í Mexíkó. Um 175 þúsund eru talin starfa innan þeirra vébanda. Svo fjöllum við um sögu einnar þekktustu fjölskyldu Noregs. Sennilega þeirrar þekktustu fyrir utan norsku konungsfjölskylduna. Það er Ingibrigtsen fjölskyldan en í henni eru þrír af heimsins bestu hlaupurum og þeir sökuðu á dögunum föður sinn, sem hefur þjálfað þá frá barnæsku, um að beita sig andlegu og líkamlegu ofbeldi frá því þeir voru smástrákar. Lögreglurannsókn stendur nú yfir og þetta hefur klofið fjölskylduna sem norska þjóðin hefur fylgt síðustu ár í sjónvarpsþáttunum Team Ingebrigtsen. Yngsti bróðirinn, Jacob, er einn besti hlaupari sem Norðmenn hafa alið og hann ætlar að freista þess í París í sumar að verja ólympíugullið sem hann náði á leikunum í Tokyo 2021, en það gæti reynst honum erfitt án þjálfarans og pabba síns sér við hlið.

For tens of thousands of people, living in Mexico today means living in a country where criminal violence begets state-sponsored violence, and where law and justice have so failed ordinary citizens that they often take matters into their own hands.

Fear Is Just a Word: A Missing Daughter, a Violent Cartel, and a Mother's Quest for Vengeance    A riveting true story of a mother who fought back against the drug cartels in Mexico, pursuing her own brand of justice to avenge the kidnapping and murder of her daughter—from a global investigative correspondent for The New York Times “Azam Ahmed has written a page-turning mystery but also a stunning, color-saturated portrait of the collapse of formal justice in one Mexican town.”—Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Directorate S Fear Is Just a Word begins on an international bridge between Mexico and the United States, as fifty-six-year-old Miriam Rodríguez stalks one of the men she believes was involved in the murder of her daughter Karen. He is her target number eleven, a member of the drug cartel that has terrorized and controlled what was once Miriam's quiet hometown of San Fernando, Mexico, almost one hundred miles from the U.S. border. Having dyed her hair red as a disguise, Miriam watches, waits, and then orchestrates the arrest of this man, exacting her own version of justice. Woven into this deeply researched, moving account is the story of how cartels built their power in Mexico, escalated the use of violence, and kidnapped and murdered tens of thousands. Karen was just one of the many people who disappeared, and Miriam, a brilliant, strategic, and fearless woman, begged for help from the authorities and paid ransom money she could not afford in hopes of saving her daughter. When that failed, she decided that “fear is just a word,” and began a crusade to track down Karen's killers and to help other victimized families in their search for justice. What do people do when their country and the peaceful town where they have grown up become unrecognizable, suddenly places of violence and fear? Azam Ahmed takes us into the grieving of a country and a family to tell the mesmerizing story of a brave and brilliant woman determined to find out what happened to her daughter, and to see that the criminals who murdered her were punished. Fear Is Just a Word is an unforgettable and moving portrait of a woman, a town, and a country, and of what can happen when violent forces leave people to seek justice on their own.

A 16-year-old boy from a well-to-do Fort Worth family commits a quadruple vehicular homicide.  His attorneys will argue that his overprivileged upbringing resulted in him not knowing how to discern right from wrong. The term "affluenza" was coined to describe defendants like Ethan Couch - wealthy, spoiled and held unaccountable for their bad behavior.              I'll also describe how this same defense was used in 1924 to defend the wealthy teenaged murderers Leopold and Loeb.  #LeopoldandLoeb #CrimeoftheCentury #EthanCouch #Affluenza  Several resources were used in the research for this episode including:  Manny Fernandez, Richard Perez-Pena and Azam Ahmed, The New York Times, "Ethan Couch, 'Affluenza' Teenager, Had Last Party Before Fleeing," Dec 29, 2015.  Michael J. Mooney, D Magazine, "The Worst Parents Ever," May 2015.   American Experience, PBS Television, "The Perfect Crime: Leopold and Loeb".
