Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

Three mothers, three very different criminal cases.

Shelly Perry tried to withdraw her guilty plea in the starvation death of her disabled daughter. Irene Miller was arrested at the airport after police say she left four children home without overnight supervision while traveling to Las Vegas. And Kouri Richins is seeking information from the indictments of two Utah law-enforcement officials as she pushes for a new trial.

Also today: the Andrew Griffin double-murder trial, an escaped convicted killer in Tennessee, a dating-app ambush in Missouri, an accused murderer trying to negotiate a guilty plea for a cheesesteak, and a Dumb Criminal involving a tub of ice cream.

Bryan Kohberger is actively challenging the guilty plea that resulted in four consecutive life sentences, and his new attorney says Kohberger remains deeply involved in the legal strategy from prison.

We also cover new fallout from the failed Christa Pike execution, the conclusion of Day One in the Andrew Griffin capital murder trial, Nick Reiner's family trust fight, the Michael McKee double-murder case, Corie Walsh's return to court, the fake-cop kidnapping and murder case, and the guilty verdict in the Faith Hedgepeth murder trial.

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch.

Nick Reiner is accused of murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Now he is asking the court for access to trust money he says was already supposed to be distributed to him years ago.

The legal fight is a fascinating one. Can someone accused of killing the people who created the trust still demand that money for his defense? Reiner's attorneys say the money was already his and that he is still presumed innocent. Trustees and opposing parties point to the law designed to prevent killers from profiting from their victims.

Today, we break down the trust dispute, the defense argument, the prosecution angle, and why this financial fight could shape the entire murder case going forward.

Lindsay Clancy's defense suffers a major setback as the judge refuses to investigate the lone holdout juror — but the double-jeopardy fight is far from over. Plus Christa Pike, an alleged deliberate family crash, a disturbing road-rage murder, a DNA cold-case breakthrough and today's Dumb Criminal.

A father is on trial over the death of 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz.

Prosecutors say Timothy Hauschultz created the punishment that required Ethan to carry a 44.4-pound log and then left his 14-year-old son Damian in charge.

Damian later admitted hitting and kicking Ethan and covering him with snow. He pleaded guilty to reckless homicide.

Now the jury has to decide whether Timothy can also be held criminally responsible.

Nick Reiner is back in court as both sides fight to keep grand jury transcripts sealed.

A Virginia husband allegedly tapes his wife to a chair and leaves her in the basement.

And new developments in the Cornell 7 case put more pressure on Cornell University's leadership.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

More than three decades after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, newly revealed records are raising questions about the missing murder weapon and whether someone may have helped O.J. Simpson dispose of evidence.

Scott Reisch breaks down what the records actually show and the credibility questions surrounding the allegations.

New questions are surrounding the Cornell 7 controversy after recordings reportedly captured a longtime fraternity adviser claiming he had connections inside Cornell University Police and could call in "favors."

The recordings involve a different Cornell fraternity and do not establish that police protected the men accused in the Cornell 7 lawsuit, but they arrive while Cornell's handling of sexual misconduct allegations is already under intense scrutiny.

Also on today's Crime Talk:

• D4vd returns to court in the Celeste Rivas murder case • Christa Pike's attorneys seek additional time following Tennessee's failed execution attempt • Sean "Diddy" Combs is transferred to another federal prison • FBI testimony continues in the Sandra Birchmore murder trial • A Missouri fence dispute allegedly ends with a "3, 2, 1" countdown and gunfire • Dumb Criminal: 30–40 beers and a stolen Las Vegas flamingo

All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

BREAKING UPDATE: The David Prevatte murder trial has ended in a mistrial after allegations of juror misconduct disrupted deliberations.

The day began with the judge investigating Juror Number Three over claims that she brought outside information into the jury room. She was ultimately removed, but as questioning of the remaining panel continued, additional concerns surfaced about information being discussed that had never been introduced as evidence. The judge ultimately determined the case could not continue with the jury and declared a mistrial.

We added the breaking development to today's show after our original recording.

Execute or not? Two very different death penalty cases are raising major questions about capital punishment in America.

Christa Pike is back in prison after surviving Tennessee's failed lethal injection attempt. With execution drugs actually administered and Pike still alive, her case now raises an extraordinary legal question: could Tennessee constitutionally attempt to execute her again?

Meanwhile, former Army Major Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, is scheduled to face a firing squad. But another controversy is developing around plans to potentially livestream the military execution, with growing political, legal and international opposition.

Also on today's Crime Talk: the Cornell 7 investigation faces a new legal fight involving New York Attorney General Letitia James; new information emerges involving Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker; and actress Selma Blair is arrested following an alleged incident aboard a Delta flight.

Today on Crime Talk:

• Christa Pike survives Tennessee's execution attempt • Could the state legally try to execute Pike again? • Nidal Hasan faces execution by firing squad • The fight over livestreaming Hasan's execution • New developments in the Cornell 7 case • Gypsy Rose and Ken Urker revelations • Selma Blair arrested after alleged flight incident • Legal History, Legal Quote of the Day and Dumb Criminal of the Day
