What Had Happened Was: A Podcast For Dayton

Trespassing and damaging property are crimes, but the punishment is rarely death. “What Had Happened Was” host Amelia Robinson and Dayton Daily News reporter Cornelius Frolik dive deep into one of the most controversial Dayton cases of 2019. Property owner Victor Santana was just indicted on murder charges for allegedly fatally shooting Javier Harrison and Devin Henderson in their backs on Aug. 28. Prosecutors say the 17 year olds and a friend were smoking marijuana in Santana’s detached garage before shots rang out. The case is expected to be the first local test of Ohio new self-defense law. During this episode, Cory, a Pittsburgh native, also explains why he loves the Gem City and covering city hall. He and Amelia discuss the rigors of sharing stories about the tornadoes, Oregon District shooting and the community’s grit. The What Had Happened Was podcast is sponsored by Premier health and recorded in the WHIO Radio studios.
