What happens when a defense strategy leans heavily on a narrative that defies reality? Defense Attorney Bob Motta and Tony Brueski unravel the perplexing approaches of defendants like Robert Telles, who attempted to spin a tale that flew in the face of overwhelming evidence—evidence that included the murder weapon’s remnants found in his garage. Is it delusion, desperation, or something else entirely?

The episode delves into comparisons with other infamous trials, such as Charlie Adelson's and Lori Vallow Daybell's, where the art of storytelling met the harsh reality of a courtroom. Motta sheds light on the difficult role defense attorneys play when their clients are set on self-sabotage, revealing the nuanced dance between ethical obligations and the client's constitutional rights. And speaking of Lori Vallow Daybell, what’s with her sudden desire to shed the "Daybell" from her name? Does it point to a strategy, or is it just another twist in her bizarre saga?

Will Vallow’s decision to represent herself seal her fate? And if the truth is stranger than fiction, how much stranger can her courtroom antics get?
