Ep 27: Vegas Politician Accused of Murder Testifies, Donna Adelson Seeks Dismissal, 5 Arrests in Matthew Perry's Death and More!

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: 

- The murder trial of Vegas politician Robert Telles turned from the bizarre to the surreal as the defendant took the stand in his own defense to testify in a rarely seen narrative form.  

- Documents filed last week argue that family matriarch Donna Adelson should have her case dismissed because the prosecution took too much time to bring charges against her for her role in the murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel.

Additionally, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including a death sentence for Tennessee man Sean Finnegan, five arrests in connection to the death of actor Matthew Perry, disgraced lawyer Alex Murdaugh’s appeal over a claim of jury tampering, and a life sentence for Christine Ricci, the Boston woman convicted in husband’s stabbing death. Plus, I give a quick rundown of what’s on the docket for next week.
