Hello and welcome to True Crime News, the podcast covering high profile and under the radar

cases from across the country every week.

I'm your host Anna Garcia.

All right, the case this week, it has been dubbed the Black Swan Murder.

A former ballerina claims that she shot her estranged husband in self-defense.

However, the prosecution says that the wife was not the victim here, that she

was trying to get rid of her husband, this was cold blood because they were in the middle of

a custody battle over their baby. So, is it self-defense or is it

murder? Well the verdict is in and the jury says guilty of manslaughter. We are

recording this on Wednesday July 31st of 2024.

Our guest today is Philip Hamilton, a criminal defense attorney managing partner at

Hamilton Clark, LLP.

Dear friend of the show, and honestly, Philip, like you're the only one brave enough

to come into the studio, which I love.

Right around the corner from the office, you're here, you put those two things together.

I mean, we know what that equation is.

We are so happy to have you you really are a fan favorite.

People love to hear you because you're so common sense and you've got compassion and

and it's you know you explain these cases to us so we're thrilled to have you and we got quite a case for you.

We are actually in person.
