  • Tiger Woods

    Both lawyers on this podcast are the reason our judicial system is broken. You were on the side of giving Tiger a pass. Tiger needs to go to jail. He, and other rich and famous, need to stop being able to get by the law. Look at Robert Downey Jr. he finally had to go to jail and he finally changed his life.

    Love the topics, but the host really doesn’t know how to host. Garcia doesn’t let her guests get a word in edgewise. Why have guests?

Gilgo Beach serial killer pleads guilty to murdering multiple women; Doctor’s fate in the hands of jury – TCN Sidebar
Q: What do you think about the implications of the plea and the potential for further cooperation with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit?
The plea agreement's requirement to fully cooperate with the BAU could lead to deeper interviews and possibly more light on the suspect's mindset, which may help authorities or lead to new insights about unresolved aspects of the case.
Gilgo Beach serial killer pleads guilty to murdering multiple women; Doctor’s fate in the hands of jury – TCN Sidebar
Q: Angenette, welcome back. How are you?
I'm doing well and reflecting on a big day in this long-running case, with the plea and the ongoing questions about motive, remorse, and the path forward for sentencing.
Delivery driver faces death penalty for kidnapping, killing Athena Strand
Q: What is the significance of the emergency Miranda exception in this case?
It allowed investigators to obtain key information before standard Miranda warnings due to the urgent search for a missing child, impacting how evidence was gathered and later argued in court.
Delivery driver faces death penalty for kidnapping, killing Athena Strand
Q: Why did the defense push for various mental health explanations for the defendant's conduct?
The defense argues factors like Asperger's, fetal alcohol exposure, lead poisoning, and an alter ego named Zero could reduce culpability, though prosecutors stress the brutality and lies and question the validity of those claims.
The Duggar downfall: Joseph Duggar arrested on molestation charges
Q: What do you think about the recording of the alleged confession and its admissibility in court?
The recording could be highly damning as it captures self-admission, but its admissibility will depend on defense challenges and how the recording was obtained; experts expect the defense to argue issues with consent, legality of the pretext call, and potential tainting of the jury.
