    What 7,000 Autopsies Taught a Death Investigator About the Idaho 4 | After the Plea – Part 2

    Former death investigator and Body Bags podcast host Joseph Scott Morgan has participated in nearly 7,000 autopsies and spent decades examining violent death scenes. In Part 2 of Idaho 4: After the Plea, Morgan joins criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter to explain what investigators can learn from a crime scene, how evidence is preserved, what happens during an autopsy and where forensic evidence reaches its limits. Using publicly released information in the case against Bryan Kohberger for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Morgan examines the challenges investigators faced inside the King Road house, the importance of documenting everyone who entered the scene and the questions the physical evidence may never answer.

    Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial: 5 Things You Need to Know

    Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter breaks down the Lindsay Clancy case with five things you need to know before her murder trial begins Monday with jury selection. Clancy is accused of killing her three young children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, inside the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. She has pleaded not guilty and is expected to argue that she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors contend her actions were planned and deliberate. Tonight, Josh explains the charges Clancy still faces, the prosecution’s theory, how the insanity defense works in Massachusetts, the key evidence and witnesses jurors may hear, and the central questions the jury will ultimately have to decide.
