  • No thanks

    Victim Blaming? Wow, Donna does not like Karen Read! And she defended Weinstein? Not a podcast I care to listen to.

  • Defending Harvey Weinstein ?

    Criminal defense is one thing but getting in bed with a predator like this and wearing massive crucifix on FOX shows while blaming rape victims for putting themselves in that position ?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OnlyFans Model Slaying: Murder or Self-Defense?
Q: How will the defense address the self-defense standard in Florida and the role of prior abuse in establishing reasonable fear?
By focusing on the history of abuse to support a battered woman syndrome defense and arguing that the use of force occurred in the heat of the moment with reasonable fear, while challenging the state's interpretation of self-defense through expert testimony and the jury's perception.
OnlyFans Model Slaying: Murder or Self-Defense?
Q: What is she facing in Florida on the second-degree murder charge, given the potential downgrade from first degree?
The defense expects a substantial sentencing risk but not life imprisonment; second-degree murder carries a lengthy prison term, and the state will seek a severe penalty given the circumstances and procedural history.
Scott Peterson Case | Defense Attorney Floats New Evidence
Q: What about the burglary timeline and the date of the burglary—how would that influence Scott's alleged involvement?
If the burglary occurred on December 24th rather than 26th, the timeline affects where Lacey was and whether Scott could be linked to actions around that time. The presence of media and on-scene reporting complicates the narrative, but the core issue is aligning the physical evidence with the established timeline and the way it was handled or tested.
Scott Peterson Case | Defense Attorney Floats New Evidence
Q: Why do you think the court denied these issues given that they seem fairly new and available to the defense at the time?
California judges are elected, and the political risk of overturning a conviction can influence decisions; appellate courts and the Supreme Court can offer more room to revisit evidence, especially when new scientific methods are involved. This dynamic makes it unlikely for trial-level judges to grant relief, though higher courts may entertain the arguments.
Scott Peterson Case | Defense Attorney Floats New Evidence
Q: Talk to me about what they have uncovered and how you think that could change the possible future for Scott Peterson.
The new evidence spans several areas: a revised timeline for the burglary, updated fetal age calculations suggesting the baby may have been alive after December 24th, new analysis of sea currents and body recovery, and multiple witnesses providing additional details about the events that day. While the court previously denied new trial requests, the defense believes these findings merit reconsideration, possibly at higher courts, due to advancements in science and new witness accounts.
