When Ahmaud Arbery was shot to death in February of 2020, it barely made a ripple in the news, but three months later cell phone footage of the shooting was released and practically overnight his death became an international story – provoking outrage that the three men involved in the incident had not been charged.  All of that has changed now as we are just days away from jury selection for the murder trial of father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddy” Brian.  Host Vinnie Politan and Court TV Anchor Ted Rowlands will take us through everything that has led up to this trial and break down the possible defense strategy of the three defendants.  Vinnie will also discuss the similarities and the striking difference this story has with another trial Court TV covered – the trial of George Zimmerman.  Get the latest updates on Court TV and CourtTV.com.

The marathon trial of California vs. Robert Durst is now in the hands of the jury, who as this podcast was recorded were deliberating the fate of the man accused of murdering his friend Susan Berman over 20 years ago.  The defense claims the prosecution bullied a sick old man with memory lapses all to make the jury hate the man in order to cover for lack of forensic evidence.  The prosecution says they don’t need that type of evidence because Durst’s own words are enough to convict him.  Court TV’s Ted Rowlands and Vinnie Politan will examine both strategies and make their prediction of what will happen when the jury finishes deliberations.  Get the latest updates on Court TV and CourtTV.com and tune in to see Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team review each day’s testimony on Closing Arguments weeknights from 8pm to 11pm.   To see more of our coverage of the Jinx Murder trial closing arguments, click here.
