Atlanta-based Citadel Forensic Accounting has become the initial sponsor of Forgotten Verdicts, a true-crime podcast and companion app that turns historic British court records into cases its listeners judge for themselves. Approached first to consult on the project’s handling of the record, the firm decided to back what it vetted. Episodes perform testimony word for word from the record; listeners lock in a verdict before the real jury’s decision is revealed. Season One launches August 2026.

ATLANTA, GA – July 25, 2026 – Citadel Forensic Accounting, LLC, the Atlanta-based forensic accounting and litigation support firm, today announced it has become a financial sponsor of Forgotten Verdicts, a forthcoming true-crime podcast and companion app that turns centuries of real British court records into cases its listeners must judge for themselves.

Forgotten Verdicts is built on a simple inversion of the true-crime formula: the audience is not told a story about a verdict. The audience delivers one. Each case is drawn from the surviving records of historic British courts and performed by a full cast of period voices, with the testimony taken from the court’s own printed record. The case for the prosecution is heard; the defence answers; and every listener locks in a verdict before the real jury’s decision, rendered centuries ago, is finally revealed. A free companion app lets listeners seal their verdict, watch how the worldwide audience is leaning, and build a standing record as a juror.

The collaboration between an American forensic accounting firm and a British-history production began, fittingly, with the evidence. Citadel was initially approached to consult on the project, bringing a forensic practitioner’s eye to how the series handles, verifies, and presents the historical record. The firm ended up becoming a financial sponsor of the program.

“We were brought in to look at the evidence, and the evidence convinced us,” said Richard Drye, Partner at Citadel Forensic Accounting, Certified Forensic Accountant and CPA. “I have been deeply impressed by the team at Forgotten Verdicts: their innovative approach, and their insistence on putting truth at the forefront of the product. In a world that constantly tries to make fantasy into reality, they are doing the opposite. They take real cases, real testimony, and real verdicts from the primary record, and they let the audience weigh them the way a jury would. That is the standard our profession lives by, and it deserved more from us than advice.”

The partnership may not end at sponsorship. The two teams are even discussing a future series focused on financial crimes of the past: historic frauds, forgeries, and schemes drawn from the same court archives, examined with the insight of working forensic accountants.

Though rooted in British legal history, Forgotten Verdicts is global by design. The cases belong to the historical record, the jury is anyone with headphones, and the verdicts belong to the audience. The series launches August 2026, with episodes and the companion app available worldwide at forgottenverdicts.com.
