Episode Details

Tonight we break down two murder cases with very different facts — and one defense attorney explaining what it takes to win each.

Aaron Spencer goes to trial in one week for killing Michael Fosler. Fosler was 67 years old, facing 43 felony charges for alleged crimes against Spencer's 13-year-old daughter. He posted bond. Got a no-contact order. Three months later, Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's truck at 1 AM and killed him with 16 shots. Prosecutors say it was premeditation — they have body cam footage from months earlier where Spencer allegedly talked about handling things himself. The defense says Arkansas law puts the burden on prosecutors to disprove justification.

Dr. Michael McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Monique and Spencer Tepe. The indictment alleges he used a suppressor — a silencer — suggesting premeditation down to the equipment. But prosecutors haven't explained how McKee entered the home with no forced entry. There's no disclosed motive. McKee gave an alibi before arrest that didn't hold up.

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to analyze both cases. The evidence. The legal standards. The defense strategies. And the question that hangs over both trials: what does the law say about when you have the right to kill — and what does the defense have to prove to create reasonable doubt?

Two trials. Two juries. Two men whose futures depend on how well their attorneys exploit the gaps in the prosecution's case.
