The episode opens with brief housekeeping notes before shifting into new developments in the Kouri Richins case. Jury selection is approaching, and defense attorneys have renewed their push to move the trial out of Summit County after survey data showed that more than 85% of respondents recognized the case, with about 60% following it closely.

The state has filed a response, arguing it satisfied its Giglio disclosure obligations and accusing the defense of mischaracterizing witness-communication issues and creating unnecessary publicity shortly before trial.

Michael McKee, is charged with multiple counts of aggravated murder and burglary in the killings of Spencer and Monique Tepe. We read through the probable-cause affidavit, including welfare-check discoveries, prior abuse allegations, surveillance footage linking a distinctive vehicle to the scene, and phone-location data showing long gaps in activity during the time of the homicides

Additional details include alleged stalking weeks earlier, license-plate swaps, and the seizure of an SUV at McKee’s workplace.

We have been snowed in after a full day of a beautiful snow yesterday.

0:23.6

It was just nice to get out and walk around, and I always love how quiet it is after it snows.

0:29.5

But now I'm ready for it to be gone and for summer to get here.

0:33.6

All right, so we're going to play a little catch-up in a couple of the cases we've been following.

Just a reminder tomorrow at 10 a.m., the jury will be back to deliberating in the Brendan Banfield trial, and I will be running that feed live.
