When "Justice" is "Just Us."

The "Making of Crime Stands Still," a behind the scenes peek into the monumental investigation and voluminous record.

With Marjorie’s life in the balance, her lawyers fight for her release in this stunning climax.

Pigs, freezers and jigsaws. Experts theorize how the victim’s butchered body could have been so well preserved in the desert for seven weeks without decomposing. And was it even plausible that someone of Marjorie’s petite build could have lifted the heavy torso into a plastic container?

EPISODE 3: SABOTAGE

After Marjorie’s arrest, the prosecution’s case was fast unraveling. With several of their jail house snitches, eager to rat on Marjorie in exchange for leniency, the police and State ignore or overlook crucial evidence, some of which it releases to members of the victim’s family before trial.

The police’s investigation heats up and after several curious discoveries, they begin to narrow in on Marjorie’s hot-headed boyfriend. They want to know more about the plastic sheeting found in his car and the mysterious hair on the victim’s remains. They want to know about his guns and the trash bags he dumped at his daughter’s house….

What You See Is All There Is…. Or is it? When the victim’s torso is discovered in the desert stuffed into a plastic rubber maid tub, police are initially perplexed. Where was the rest of him? And what kind of person chops up a body? With few leads (and even less evidence) they focus on the one person closest to him….his beautiful, former showgirl, ex-wife.

ABOUT SEASON ONE: FIREFLY

Kerrie Droban is the host and creator of the “CRIME STANDS STILL” podcast, a docuseries that follows one case every Season.

Season One features the sensational Arizona story of Marjorie Orbin, a woman wrongfully convicted of the brutal and shocking beheading of her former husband and currently serving a life sentence.

Season One, “Firefly,” was written and produced with the permission and encouragement of my client, Marjorie Orbin, whom I have represented in post-conviction for over ten years. After extensive investigation, research, and interviews, FIREFLY is a presentation of the “whole truth” and not just what the jury heard.

Post-conviction practice is a highly specialized area of law that explores fundamental and nuanced aspects of criminal law and procedure. It asks what happened and what went wrong behind the scenes and outside the record after appeals have been exhausted. With over 3,200 inmates nationwide (21 of whom were sentenced to death) exonerated either in full or in part by DNA testing, newly discovered evidence, and newfound witnesses, post-conviction investigation is a vital component of truth and justice.
