## Resource

The MK True Crime Show hosts Dave Aronberg and Ashleigh Merchant join the program to discuss the interview Bryan Kohberger gave to The New York Times, why he’s seeking a new trial despite taking a plea deal last year, what might be motivating the convicted quadruple murderer to reopen his own case, the forensic evidence that has been presented so far in the D4vd preliminary hearing, the fraught messages between the singer and his alleged teen victim, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, an alternative scenario the defense may have hinted at while questioning the medical examiner, and later Sierra Gillespie, host of Law & Crime’s “Crimes of Passion” podcast, joins Dave and Ashleigh to discuss updates in the Lindsay Clancy trial, how emotions have remained high in the courtroom from jury selection to opening statements, what the father of the slain children, Patrick Clancy, said on the stand in his initial testimony, the breakdown witnessed only by observers in the courtroom, and Daily Mail Senior News Reporter Steve Helling joins the program to discuss updates in the Chris Watts family annihilator case out of Colorado, what his continued reporting has uncovered about the convicted killer, his dating app antics prior to the murders, how life is treating him behind bars, and more.
