Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter breaks down the latest major development in the Luigi Mangione case: his legal team has withdrawn its intent to invoke a psychiatric defense in the state case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.0:00 - Intro3:06 - Luigi Mangione18:57 - Tyler Robinson27:44 - Lindsay Clancy33:13 - George Pino43:27 - Hero of the Week - Cobb County Police Department https://www.facebook.com/CobbCountyPoliceDepartment50:24 - AnnouncementsMangione’s defense had indicated it was prepared to argue that he suffered from an “extreme emotional disturbance,” but just one day later, the defense pulled that strategy back. Josh explains what a psychiatric defense could have meant, why withdrawing it matters, what records the defense may have avoided turning over, and how this could shape the case moving forward.Then, in tonight’s Leftovers segment, Josh covers major updates in three more headline-making cases:Tyler Robinson / Charlie Kirk Case — Prosecutors are opposing the defense effort to make Lance Twiggs appear live at Robinson’s preliminary hearing. Twiggs, Robinson’s former roommate and boyfriend, received use immunity for statements about the shooting. Josh breaks down what use immunity means, why the defense wants live testimony, and why prosecutors say the recorded statement and messages are enough.Lindsay Clancy — Ahead of her July murder trial, Clancy’s defense is fighting what her attorney called “voodoo forensics” and “junk science.” Josh explains the battle over expert demonstrations, the 911 call, a jury view of the home, and how courts decide what jurors should see and hear in a case this emotionally charged.George Pino — As closing arguments approach in the deadly Florida boating case, Pino declined a lesser-included offense instruction. Josh explains why a defendant might reject a lesser option, how jury instructions can shape deliberations, and what the prosecution and defense are fighting over before the case goes to the jury.Join the CC Crew LIVE for legal analysis, courtroom insight, and the biggest true crime updates of the week.About Joshua Ritter:Joshua Ritter is a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor providing legal commentary and analysis on the nation’s biggest true crime cases.Follow Josh:https://x.com/JoshuaRitterESQhttps://www.instagram.com/joshuaritteresq/https://www.joshuaritter.com/https://www.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Merch:https://shop.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Support our moderators:https://buymeacoffee.com/courtroomconfidentialDISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for educational purposes only.

Can the FBI Trust Rex Heuermann? Prosecutor Who Took on Serial Killers Explains Sentencing

Josh Ritter is joined by Matt Murphy, former Orange County, California homicide prosecutor and author of The Book of Murder, to break down what to expect ahead of Long Island Serial Killer Rex Heuermann's sentencing, set for Wednesday, June 17.During his 17-year tenure as a homicide prosecutor, Matt Murphy specialized in high-profile serial killer cases, cold cases, and complex “no-body” murders. Tonight, Josh and Matt discuss what to expect at the Rex Heuermann sentencing, and what justice can still require when a defendant is already expected to spend the rest of his life in prison.As part of Heuermann’s plea, he agreed to cooperate with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit as part of an academic and scientific exercise. But can the FBI trust Rex Heuermann? Josh and Matt break down whether investigators can learn from Heuermann, how prosecutors guard against manipulation, and whether this gives him one more chance to control the story in the LISK case.Plus, viewers will vote in tonight’s Viewers' Choice poll to decide which case Josh covers next:Larry Millete Trial — Trial is underway for the California father accused of murdering his missing wife, Maya Millete, in a no-body case that prosecutors say centers on the collapse of their marriage.George Pino Trial — The Florida boating crash trial continues for George Pino, accused in the crash that killed 17-year-old Luciana “Lucy” Fernandez.Palisades Fire Trial — Jonathan Rinderknecht is on trial in federal court after prosecutors accused him of intentionally starting the fire that later became the deadly Palisades Fire, while the defense argues fireworks may have caused the initial blaze.About Joshua Ritter: Joshua Ritter is a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor providing legal commentary and analysis on the nation’s biggest true crime cases.Follow Matt Murphy:https://www.instagram.com/mattmurphylawhttps://www.thebookofmurder.com/about/Follow Josh: https://x.com/JoshuaRitterESQ https://www.instagram.com/joshuaritteresq/ https://www.joshuaritter.com/ https://www.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Merch: https://shop.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Support our moderators: https://buymeacoffee.com/courtroomconfidentialDISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for educational purposes only.
