Welcome back to Courtroom Confidential with Joshua Ritter! This week, I share my insights on some of this week’s updates in the true crime world, including:

- Vegas politician Robert Telles stands trial for the brutal stabbing death of Jeff German, an investigative reporter who wrote scathing articles about him.

- Christopher Scholtes, an Arizona man charged with the death of his child left in a hot car, will soon face even more serious consequences as prosecutors raise the stakes from second-degree to first-degree murder.

- Susan Lorincz, the Florida woman who is charged in the fatal shooting of her neighbor Ajike “AJ” Owens through a closed door, looks to defend herself as the prosecution rests their case.

Additionally, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including another snag in the never-ending YSL RICO trial, a hearing for all seven suspects in the murder of Arizona teen Preston Lord, and the latest in the case against Sarah Boone. Plus, I give a quick rundown of what’s on the docket for next week.

Welcome back to Courtroom Confidential with Joshua Ritter! This week, I share my insights on some of this week’s updates in the true crime world, including:

- After bulldozing her way through eight attorneys, notorious “suitcase” murderer Sarah Boone now tells the judge she has buyer’s remorse and no longer wants to represent herself.

- Did the jury actually intend to acquit Karen Read of murder for the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe? And more importantly, what is the judge going to do about it?

Additionally, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including the guilty verdict for Christine Ricci for the stabbing death of her Boston firefighter husband, sentencing for “Treadmill Dad” Christopher Gregor for the death of his son, Chad Doerman’s sentencing for the shooting deaths of his three young sons, and Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen’s three-day hearing. Plus, I give a quick rundown of what’s on the docket for next week.

Welcome back to Courtroom Confidential with Joshua Ritter! This week, I share my insights on some of this week’s updates in the true crime world, including:

- Notoriously known as the “Black Swan Murder” Ashley Benefield, a Florida ballerina, shoots her estranged husband in what prosecutors allege was a calculated and cold-blooded murder. Her defense maintains she was a battered woman pushed to the brink by her obsessive and abusive ex-partner, Doug Benefield.

- In another case with striking similarities, Marcia Thompson, a U.S. Customs officer, has been found not guilty by a Florida jury for fatally shooting her husband, with allegations of systematic violence again playing a key role.

Additionally, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including Donna Adelson’s status hearing ahead of her trial for the death of her former son-in-law Dan Markel, a new trial date set for Karen Read, Sarah Boone’s hand-drawn advertisement looking for a new attorney, and the trial for Christine Ricci, charged with the stabbing death of her husband Michael, a Boston firefighter.

Welcome to another special episode of Courtroom Confidential: Case Notes! Today, Joshua Ritter breaks down the case of Kouri Richins, a Utah mother of three accused of fatally poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

In April 2023, Richins appeared on a local Utah news program to promote her new book titled, “Are You With Me?” – a children’s book written to help families cope with the loss of a loved one.

To all who watched, she appeared to be a young grieving widow doing her best to deal with the tragic loss of her husband, Eric Richins, who had died the year before.

Within weeks she would become a national sensation when she was arrested and charged with lacing Eric’s cocktail with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

What has unfolded since that time is a sordid tale of forged life insurance policies, botched poisoning attempts and surreptitious attempts to coach witnesses from behind bars.

- The Commonwealth strikes back after the defense argued that justice demands acquittal of murder charges against Karen Read, the Boston woman who was charged in the death of her boyfriend, police officer John O’Keefe.

- As the dust settles in the wake of Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case dismissal, what could the fallout be for the prosecutor and Hannah Guttierrez-Reed in this courthouse saga?
