## Resource

Conrad Lardner stands trial for murdering his cousin David Vale in a shocking March 2023 stabbing—charged as an aggressive attack, but his defense argues it was pure self-defense after a chaotic confrontation where a knife fell from his cousin’s clothes. The prosecution counters with CCTV showing the victim retreating and kicking, questioning the self-defense narrative, while toxicology confirms Vale had meth in his system. The trial’s outcome remains uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
