In this episode, we break down the latest developments in the tragic double homicide case of Spencer and Monique Tepe in Columbus, Ohio. After weeks of limited information, an arrest has been made—Monique's ex-husband, Michael David McKee. We are going over all the facts that have been released to the public, including the chilling 911 calls, the police video of a person of interest, and the probable cause affidavit that led to the arrest.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/bILFgB6kFo4  In this Case Brief, we analyze the latest developments from the Los Angeles arraignment of Nick Reiner, who is charged with the murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. A look at the surprise withdrawal of Nick Reiner's private attorney, Alan Jackson, due to "circumstances beyond our control" and the immediate appointment of the Public Defender's office. The Deputy Public Defender, Kimberly Green, is assigned to the case and successfully puts over the arraignment to a new date, February 23rd. We dissect Alan Jackson’s strong public statement that "pursuant to the law in California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder," which appears to foreshadow a defense strategy centered on a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea (or a similar mental disease or defect defense). The DA's office expressed their full confidence that a jury will "convict Nick Reiner beyond a reasonable doubt of the brutal murders of his parents." A breakdown of the legal meaning and impact of the court issuing and holding "body attachments" for defense subpoenas, a process used to maintain jurisdiction over non-compliant parties until the next court date. The case is expected to move slowly, and the legal process will be crucial in revealing the true facts surrounding the situation.

The court ruled to seal the entirety of the following day's hearing (January 8th) and its audio recording to protect the integrity of the jury pool and voir dire process, although the final rulings themselves will be public.

In this Case Brief, we break down the latest court rulings and what to expect as we move toward the trial date. The prosecution and defense are fighting over the infamous "Walk The Dog Letter" (Docket 214) found in Richins' jail cell. We discuss the arguments for and against its admission, with the prosecution claiming it shows "consciousness of guilt," intent, plan, and identity. We look at the court's denial of Kouri Richins' second motion to reconsider her pre-trial release. The defense argued a key witness recanted a statement about selling fentanyl, but the court found no "material change in circumstances." The court's ruling on the motion to appoint counsel for Kouri Richins' mother, Lisa Darden, a potential witness whose testimony could implicate her Fifth Amendment rights. The court denied the defense's motion to compel financial documents from Katie Richins-Benson, the victim's sister and trust executive, citing a failure to "meet and confer" and an "overly broad" request. Details on the two-day evidentiary hearings on January 7th and 8th for expert testimony and motions in limine—and why the judge has ordered no live streaming.
