The marathon trial of California vs. Robert Durst is now in the hands of the jury, who as this podcast was recorded were deliberating the fate of the man accused of murdering his friend Susan Berman over 20 years ago.  The defense claims the prosecution bullied a sick old man with memory lapses all to make the jury hate the man in order to cover for lack of forensic evidence.  The prosecution says they don’t need that type of evidence because Durst’s own words are enough to convict him.  Court TV’s Ted Rowlands and Vinnie Politan will examine both strategies and make their prediction of what will happen when the jury finishes deliberations.  Get the latest updates on Court TV and CourtTV.com and tune in to see Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team review each day’s testimony on Closing Arguments weeknights from 8pm to 11pm.   To see more of our coverage of the Jinx Murder trial closing arguments, click here.

We’re just weeks away from the trial of Travis and Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan – the three men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery.  The prosecution believes the men profiled Arbery and stalked him with trucks and guns until there was a confrontation that left only Arbery dead.  The defense argues that the men were justified under Georgia’s citizen arrest law and were in court last week arguing that they should be able to make the case that Arbery may have been in committing crimes, with little evidence to back that up.  Court TV’s Matt Johnson joins host Vinnie Politan to discuss the defense’s arguments and the prosecution fiery response.  Get the latest updates on CourtTV and CourtTV.com and tune in to see Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team review each day’s testimony on Closing Arguments weeknights from 8pm to 11pm.   To see more of our coverage of The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery Murder Trial, click here.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For our 100th episode host Vinnie Politan and Court TV’s Ted Rowlands will cover two of the biggest legal stories of the week.  Up first is a major update in The Killing of Mollie Tibbetts Murder Trial.  Her convicted killer Cristhian Bahena Rivera was back in court for what was supposed to be his sentencing, but instead that was delayed in order to his defense team to make an argument for a new trial due to some new information.  Two people independently came forward and implicated another man in the murder of Tibbetts, so his defense is asking for a new trial and the state’s help in investigating those claims. Meanwhile, Britney Spears was back in court in her continuing fight to end the conservatorship.  Should Britney be allowed to have full control of her life back? If not, why?  Ted and Vinnie will dig into all of it plus preview the live trial currently on Court TV – SC v.
