    Colin Gray Trial Analysis — Defense Attorney Bob Motta on 180 Years and Murder Charges

    The Colin Gray trial could change parental liability law across America. Prosecutors charged second-degree murder—not manslaughter like the Crumbleys. He's facing 180 years. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to break down what's happening in Georgia and what it means going forward. The facts are brutal. The FBI visited Colin Gray's home in May 2023 after his son made threats on Discord. Body cam footage shows Gray saying "God, I knew it" within minutes of the Apalachee High School shooting. He also said he'd been trying to get his son into counseling. Bob analyzes how those statements cut both ways—and which way a jury is likely to lean. Here's the legal problem prosecutors face: Georgia has no safe storage law. A 14-year-old can legally possess a long gun there. Colin Gray didn't technically break any gun laws by giving his kid that AR-15. So how do you charge someone with murder when the underlying conduct was legal? Bob walks through the prosecution's theory and the defense's best counterargument. The sentencing gap is staggering. The Crumbleys got 10-15 years for manslaughter in Michigan. Colin Gray faces 180 years in Georgia. That exposure changes everything about how this case gets tried. Karen McDonald—the prosecutor who secured the Crumbley convictions—said her reaction to Colin Gray being charged was "rage." She said the Crumbley case was never meant to open the floodgates. Experts warn this could be applied disproportionately against families without resources. Bob addresses whether there's any limiting principle. Join us live as we analyze whether the rules are changing in real time for parents across the country.

    9H AGO

    Kouri Richins Trial Week 1 — Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks Down the Evidence

    Opening statements are done. The Kouri Richins murder trial is underway in Summit County. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to break down what we learned from week one and where this five-week trial is heading. Prosecutors painted Kouri as a calculated killer who poisoned her husband Eric with fentanyl for nearly $2 million in life insurance money. The defense promised to show the case is built on compromised witnesses and circumstantial evidence. Bob analyzes where those competing narratives will collide—and where the defense has the best opportunity to create doubt. The prosecution's key witness is Carmen Lauber—the housekeeper who claims she sold Kouri fentanyl. She's been granted immunity. Her supplier, Robert Crozier, has recanted and now says whatever he sold wasn't fentanyl. No pills were ever recovered or tested. Bob explains how a defense attorney would approach cross-examining a witness whose credibility has already been undermined. The 15-minute gap before Kouri called 911 is central to the state's theory. Her phone was unlocked six times during those minutes. First responders noted Eric "seemed like he had been dead a while." Bob walks through how the defense will try to explain that gap—and whether the explanation holds up. Two of Eric's friends will testify that eighteen days before his death, he called them and said "I think my wife tried to poison me." That statement is devastating for the defense. Bob explains the best strategy for neutralizing secondhand testimony. With over 1,000 exhibits and a hard deadline from Judge Mrazik, the defense says this case won't finish on time. Bob explains whether timeline pressure helps or hurts the prosecution. Join us live for real-time trial analysis from a defense attorney who knows how cases are won and lost.

    Nancy Guthrie — $1M Reward, Prior Surveillance, and What Bob Motta Sees Coming

    Day 24 of the Nancy Guthrie investigation brought two major developments that demand real-time analysis—and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta is joining us live to break it all down. Savannah Guthrie posted an emotional video announcing a $1 million family reward for her mother's "recovery." Not return. Recovery. That language shift tells you where the family's head is at after more than three weeks of silence from whoever took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home. But the bigger news dropped from law enforcement sources: the FBI's doorbell camera images weren't all from February 1st. At least one—the image without the backpack—was captured on an earlier date. Sources suggest the suspect visited the property, encountered the camera, retreated, and returned with a plan to cover it with desert weeds. What does this mean for the investigation? What does it mean for eventual prosecution? And why is the Pima County Sheriff's Department publicly disputing information that law enforcement sources keep confirming to reporters? Bob Motta brings his criminal defense experience to these questions live. We'll discuss what prior surveillance visits mean for establishing premeditation, how prosecutors build cases from fragmented physical evidence, and why the DNA testing delays could actually work in law enforcement's favor if they're pursuing genetic genealogy. We're also taking your questions and comments in real time. The tip line is overwhelmed with theories and well-wishes—the FBI had to publicly ask people to stop calling with speculation. But legitimate questions deserve answers, and that's what we're here for. Join us live as this case enters its fourth week with more questions than answers.

    Nancy Guthrie: The Investigation, the Suspect, and What Breaks This Case

    Day twenty-two. Four hundred investigators. Zero arrests. And ABC News reports the case may soon scale back to a long-term task force. The family has been briefed. The DNA is still unidentified. The perpetrator — if local — is watching themselves become the most wanted person in America while investigators canvass gun shops, process genetic genealogy, and work through Walmart purchase records. And investigators aren't ruling out that multiple people were involved. Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program for years. He understands what happens inside an investigation when it hits a wall, what sustained pressure does to someone trying to hide what they've done, and what makes people with dangerous knowledge finally talk. This interview covers every psychological angle: the investigation running out of oxygen, the suspect watching the walls close in, the accomplice question, and the psychology of the break. Someone in this perpetrator's life knows something is wrong. Over two hundred thousand dollars in rewards. What makes them act?

    Nancy Guthrie: Multiple Suspects? And What Makes Someone Finally Talk

    Investigators have publicly stated they're not ruling out that more than one person was involved. The evidence is contradictory: sophisticated reconnaissance but no extraction plan, forensic awareness at the door but sloppiness on the exit, ransom notes with insider details but no way to collect. If there was a second person — a driver, a lookout, someone who helped but didn't enter the home — they're watching this investigation unfold with different psychological stakes than the person who actually took Nancy. Robin Dreeke spent his FBI career understanding what makes people talk. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, building rapport with assets who had every reason to stay silent. In this interview, he examines what the evidence suggests about multiple actors — and what it takes for someone with knowledge of a crime to finally come forward. The reward is over two hundred thousand dollars. Genetic genealogy is processing DNA. There are people in this perpetrator's life who've noticed the stress. What makes suspicion turn into action? What does a real tip sound like? And how does this case actually get solved?

    Nancy Guthrie: The Suspect Is Watching — What Pressure Does to a Fugitive Mind

    Twenty-two days. The doorbell footage has been broadcast everywhere. The FBI is canvassing gun shops with photos. Walmart has turned over backpack purchase records. Genetic genealogy is processing DNA. CeCe Moore says if she were the kidnapper, she'd be "extremely concerned." If this person is local — and the January reconnaissance suggests they are — they're watching themselves become the most wanted person in America while trying to live a normal life. Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. His career was built on understanding how people behave under pressure. In this interview, he breaks down what's happening psychologically inside the head of whoever did this — the sustained stress of national exposure, the behavioral mistakes pressure forces, and the tells someone in this position might be exhibiting to the people around them. The forensic awareness at the door suggests planning. The dropped glove two miles out suggests panic. What happens when someone realizes they're in over their head?

    Nancy Guthrie: The Investigation Is Running Out of Time — What Happens Next

    Four hundred investigators. Twenty-two days. Zero arrests. And ABC News is now reporting the case may soon scale back to a long-term task force. The family has been briefed that leads aren't panning out. The DNA is still unidentified. No additional video has been recovered. No vehicle has been connected to the abduction. Former FBI hostage negotiator Rich Frankel told ABC, "You have to at one point move on to a long-term sustainable level of manpower. It is not a closed case." But what does that transition actually look like inside an investigation? What happens psychologically to teams that have been running 24/7 for three weeks when "sustainable" starts replacing "urgent"? Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years in FBI counterintelligence running the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program. He's managed operations under sustained pressure with no wins. In this interview, he breaks down what's happening inside this case right now — the institutional psychology, the command confusion, the effect of high-profile detentions that produced nothing, and the single most important thing investigators need to protect as this case enters a new phase. This is the honest conversation about an investigation at a crossroads.
