Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

15 The Two Intruders | We talk to Irma’s grandson
Q: John, how did you hear about the 1999 burglary and that your grandmother had been killed?
I heard through a frantic phone call while away interstate; the family immediately gathered and began enduring the long, emotional wait for accountability, with the police guiding the process and a campaign to keep the case in public view.
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail
Q: How does Wright's release affect the potential appeal and what are the timelines?
The guests explain that while an appeal was anticipated, the full five months served and the current two-year good-behavior bond complicate whether an appeal would proceed; the 28-day deadline for appeals has passed in some instances, but extensions can occur depending on the case.
07 Wheelie Bin Murder I A surprise twist
Q: When might the next trial take place?
Officials indicated the next trial may not occur until 2028, due to court and counsel availability and the overall complexity of rescheduling among four defendants.
07 Wheelie Bin Murder I A surprise twist
Q: What led to the mistrial?
A juror admitted to doing independent research and sharing information with the rest of the jury, which raised concerns about fairness and the integrity of the trial, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial.
32 | Late-breaking evidence on Erin's gastric bypass claims
Q: Does the Enrich Clinic offer gastric bypass surgery or pre-assessments for it?
Erin Patterson acknowledged that the clinic does not perform gastric bypass surgery, suggesting the pre-assessment claim was not supported by the clinic's usual services.
