0:00.0	Hey everyone, this is Jillian and I am here with my friend Brittany. Hey, Brittany. Hey, Jillian.
0:17.0	Welcome to Sidebar where we're going to be chatting about court junkie episodes, other cases we're
0:22.4	following and basically all things true crime. All right, and so today's show we're going to
0:27.8	discuss some behind the scenes info from the Thai Chan case, Sandra Melgar, Laurie McConnell,
0:34.1	and Kale Fleishauer cases. And we're going to get some updates on cases covered in the past,
0:39.2	like a case with Alexis Murphy and Joel Guy Jr. And we'll talk about the cases that we're
0:44.1	currently accessing over, which I know we're both very excited about this segment today.
0:48.4	And we'll talk about the murder of Kevin Giants. Jillian was able to get an interview with

1:42.2	So Jillian, I'm going to just ask you right off the bat. Was this self-defense in your opinion?
1:48.7	In my opinion, it's hard to believe his story of self-defense from where I'm sitting. I just
1:57.0	don't know that his actions bit his story, the fact that he chased him, the victim ran into the
2:04.4	elevator and ultimately went down to the lobby. So it kind of suggests that he was running away
2:10.9	from Thai Chan. I was a bit mixed on this one, but definitely leaning more towards a guilty verdict.
2:18.1	Having said that, I'm not sure that, because we've talked in the past before about whether you
