In today’s CRU with Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum, Sheryl starts off with a legal question - can past victims testify even if their cases were dismissed due to the statute of limitations? Nancy and Sheryl break it down, touching on how the #MeToo movement has changed legal timelines. They shift to Bryan Kohberger’s defense challenging genetic genealogy evidence. Nancy explains why it likely won’t hold up in court. They give the latest on the Alexander brothers’ and a new suspect surrendering, and what that might mean for the case.
