Ep 21: Alec Baldwin Opening Statements, Karen Read Double Jeopardy Issues, Matthew Perry Death Investigation 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: 

- New Mexico prosecutors and Alec Baldwin’s defense attorneys waste no time trading blows as his manslaughter trial gets underway for his role in the ‘Rust’ set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

- Before the dust has a chance to settle, defense attorneys for Karen Read now claim that as many as 4 jurors have come forward to say they had unanimously voted to clear their client of murdering her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. 

Plus, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including the latest drama in the YSL RICO trial, updates in Harvey Weinstein’s case ahead of his second trial in New York, potential criminal charges loom in the death of actor Matthew Perry, and a pushed trial date for Madeline Soto murder suspect Stephan Sterns.
