    Letecia Stauch Wins Appeal // New Trial Ordered in Gannon Stauch Case

    The DA presented five weeks of evidence in People v. Letecia Stauch in Colorado Springs. And while prosecutors secured a conviction in 2023, this case may have been compromised long before opening statements ever began. In April 2026, the Colorado Court of Appeals granted Letecia Stauch a new trial, pointing to a critical issue of juror bias. At the center of it all? A juror who was the father-in-law of a local prosecutor working within the same district attorney’s office that tried the case. Under Colorado law, that kind of relationship raises serious concerns about impartiality, and it’s exactly the type of issue that can unravel an entire verdict. So how did this happen? And why wasn’t it caught before the trial ever started? Join Margot as she breaks down what the appellate court actually decided, why juror bias is such a big deal legally, and what prosecutors are likely to do next… ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?

    The "Unsolvable" Cold Case // Robin Lawrence

    In 1994, Robin Lawrence was murdered by an intruder with violence on his mind. But Robin fought back. In her final moments, she clawed at her attacker, leaving behind critical DNA evidence that would one day help identify her killer. What investigators didn’t know then was that justice would take decades. Through persistent police work, advances in forensic science, and the dedication of a volunteer genetic genealogist determined to give Robin’s family answers, the case was finally solved. And when the suspect was confronted, a guilty conscience did the rest. Join Margot as she walks you through the long-awaited resolution of the cold case murder of Robin Lawrence, and the eventual identification of her killer, Stephan Smerk, a former soldier assigned to Fort Myer–Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia. ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?
