In this episode of Third Degree, Elie Honig is joined by University of Alabama law student Kyra Perkins to discuss the latest in the Derek Chauvin trial, including the strength of the arguments made by the prosecution and defense, the circumstances in which a trial witness can plead the Fifth, and the judge’s decision for Chauvin to stand trial separately from the other three officers involved in the incident.  

Join Elie every Monday and Wednesday on Third Degree for a discussion of the urgent legal news making the headlines. Third Degree takes on a bit of a different flavor on Fridays, when Elie speaks with a rotating slate of America’s most impressive law school students, exclusively for members of CAFE Insider.
