The Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial brings Steven Corr, North Andover Police Officer, to the stand in this segment.
The Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial is underway in Essex Superior Court in Massachusetts. Fitzsimmons, a North Andover police officer, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after allegedly pointing her service weapon at fellow officer Patrick Noonan during a restraining order service at her home in June 2025. Prosecutors say she raised the gun at Noonan and pulled the trigger — the gun did not fire because there was no round in the chamber. The defense maintains Fitzsimmons was in the grip of a postpartum mental health crisis and the gun was turned on herself, not on Noonan. She has waived her right to a jury, leaving her fate entirely in the hands of Judge Jeffrey Karp.

A Utah mother of three was just convicted of murdering her husband by slipping five times the lethal dose of fentanyl into his drink. But the story of Kouri Richins has never really been about the crime alone. It's been about what she did after.
She wrote a children's grief book. Dedicated it to the husband prosecutors say she poisoned. Went on television to talk about healing. Told her housekeeper — the same woman who allegedly sold her the pills — that her husband died of a brain aneurysm. And when she was arrested, she didn't crumble. She said, on camera: "This means war."

A jury just answered that declaration. Unanimously. In three hours.
What makes this verdict remarkable isn't the speed — it's what the jurors said afterward. They didn't want to find her guilty. They walked in hoping the defense's version would hold up. They were, in one juror's own words, "really sad" that it didn't. Eight people who wanted to believe her couldn't find a single reason to.
On True Crime Today, we're breaking down what comes next. The appeal process — and the significant legal obstacles standing in its way. The separate trial on twenty-six financial felony charges that hasn't even been scheduled yet. And the psychological portrait of someone who responds to every crisis in this story the same way: by constructing a new narrative. A grief book before arrest. A scripted six-page letter from jail after. When the story needs protecting, she writes.
Sentencing comes May 13th — what would have been Eric Richins' 44th birthday. Three boys will grow up knowing both versions of this story. The one their mother told them, and the one a jury just confirmed.

Multiple people across multiple years felt something wrong around Bryan Kohberger. A delivery driver. Classmates. Fellow graduate students at Washington State. People who created distance without being able to name what they were moving away from. People who mentioned their discomfort and watched the conversation end there — because a feeling has nowhere to go in a system built to require evidence.
True Crime Today presents Part Three of The Shape of Him from Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski — a direct examination of the gap between social threat detection and institutional action, and what it costs the people caught in between.
This episode explains the neuroscience behind that gut feeling: why it's real, why it fires around harmless people too, and why that imprecision is exactly why systems require something more. It walks through every threshold Kohberger fell below — mandatory reporting, threat assessment, HR, mental health intervention, law enforcement — and makes the honest case that the architecture that let him move freely is the same architecture that protects all of us.
And then it speaks to the people carrying guilt about a feeling they had and nowhere to take it. And to the professionals who saw something and hit the wall of what the system allows. Both conversations are long overdue. Part three of five.

Three criminal proceedings. Three distinct legal frameworks. And in every one of them, the gap between what the public understands and what the law requires is wider than it looks.
Joseph Duggar faces felony child sex abuse charges in Florida and, alongside his wife Kendra, misdemeanor charges in Arkansas. He reportedly made admissions to the victim's father and to Tontitown police detectives prior to retaining counsel — statements that are described as having been recorded. He waived his extradition hearing. The Arkansas and Florida cases are legally distinct but investigatively connected, creating a dual-jurisdiction exposure that the defense must manage simultaneously under two different statutory frameworks.
Kelsey Fitzsimmons is before a Massachusetts judge on a single count of assault with a dangerous weapon. A grand jury declined to return the original charge of armed assault with intent to murder. The defense has challenged the prosecution's access to internal affairs statements that the department claims do not exist. The central evidentiary question — which direction the defendant's weapon was pointed — is a matter of competing witness interpretation of a moment that lasted seconds.
Aaron Spencer goes to trial June 22nd in Arkansas on charges stemming from the killing of Michael Fosler, who was on bond while facing 40 counts of child sexual abuse. The prosecution has stated publicly that the jury will receive information that contradicts the public narrative around the case. The defendant has made public statements including a national media appearance. The child victim may be called to testify. The 40 counts against Fosler carry no evidentiary weight in the Spencer proceeding.
Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke, and host Tony Brueski examine the legal and behavioral architecture of all three cases with the precision each demands. True Crime Today is where the law gets examined — not simplified.
