Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

The episode focuses on appraising rural markets. Despite rural America making up 97% of the country’s land mass and being home to 1 in 5 Americans, there are few appraisers that work in this market.

The episode focuses on stigmatized properties, where the value of a property is affected by psychological reasons. Guest Rob Stilo has appraised stigmatized properties throughout Colorado, including the home of Chris Watts, who in 2018 murdered his pregnant wife and two young children. Rob discusses the methodology he used to determine that the Watts house would be unsellable in the first two years after the tragic events, then regain 10-20% of value each year thereafter. While the discussion of haunted houses was fitting for the Halloween season, Rob noted that stigma can also be positive. He discussed some of the properties he appraised in Colorado that benefited in value by their inclusion in a home-building TV show.
