Welcome to the first episode of In the Well.

I'm Matt Murphy, former homicide prosecutor, and I'm joined by my co-host and longtime friend Mark

Gargous, criminal defense attorney to the stars.

We're going to get into the shocking allegations about how singer David murdered, allegedly, 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

And later, we'll be joined by lawyer Brian Friedman to discuss the Blake lively Justin Baldoni upcoming trial, which I've done a deep dive on and is fascinating.

I can't wait to get Mark's take on that.

But first, Mark, let's share why

we decided to do this show together. So we've known each other since before we did TV, I think is

fair to say. And we have had quite a few cases together. You were, I, you're considerably younger than me, but I do remember when you were a new deputy

in the office.

I remember also when you got promoted into the kind of the crem de la crem unit in OCDA.

And I do take great pride in predicting to several judges down in the Orange County,

on the Orange County bench back there. I said, this guy's got game. He's going to go somewhere.

Yeah, we, it's true. Mark and I had a bunch of cases before,

before Mark got super famous and before I did anything of

note ever. And so Mark belongs to one of these, this kind of dying breed of old school

gentleman defense lawyers that is much lacking in my view in the current state of the criminal

justice system.

And so one of those guys that Mark would come into court and he's so damn likable and so

persuasive that whenever he'd walk in and be like, damn it, I just know I'm going to drive home

at the end of the day and think that he picked my pocket again.

So Mark- I appreciate that,
