True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

The Kouri Richins murder trial is heading into closing arguments with both sides rested. For five weeks, jurors have sat through testimony about a forged life insurance signature, a housekeeper who bought drugs at a gas station, a secret affair, a ghostwritten children's grief book, and a jail cell letter that prosecutors say was a script for false testimony.
What did all of it actually prove?
True Crime Today presents the full three-part listener Q&A breakdown of the Kouri Richins trial — featuring defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke. Across three conversations, they tackle the most important questions this case raises: whether the circumstantial evidence is strong enough to convict without a single physical trace of the poison, whether the defense's destruction of Carmen Lauber's credibility created real doubt or just confusion, and what the complete behavioral picture of this case tells us about how it ends.
Real questions from real listeners. Straight answers before the verdict.

Alex Murdaugh grew up believing he was untouchable. Four generations of family power made sure of it.
From 1920 to 2006, the Murdaughs controlled prosecution in five South Carolina counties. They decided who faced justice and who didn't. They built a dynasty on the belief that their family was different, protected, above the law.
And then Alex murdered his wife and son.
Part 1 of "The Name" examines the generational machinery behind the Murdaugh case. Not just what Alex did — but how the family system created someone capable of doing it.
If you've ever felt trapped by what your family expected you to be, this episode will resonate. The Murdaughs are extreme. The dynamics are universal.

In high-stakes murder trials, the decision not to call your client to the stand is one of the most consequential a defense team can make. In the Kouri Richins trial, that decision has been made. The defense rested without putting Kouri Richins in front of the jury.
What does that silence communicate — legally, strategically, and behaviorally?
Defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to examine the strategic landscape at the close of evidence in one of true crime's most-watched cases. With no physical drug evidence, a immunity-protected star witness whose credibility was aggressively challenged, and a defendant who spent years publicly performing grief while allegedly orchestrating false testimony, the Kouri Richins trial raises questions that go beyond this one case.
When circumstantial evidence is this dense, what does a defense team owe the jury? When an investigation has as many procedural gaps as this one, does that create reasonable doubt — or just noise? And when a defendant chooses silence, what fills that vacuum in a juror's mind?
Closing arguments are next. The verdict window is open. This is where the case stands.
