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

0:21.2

cases from across the country every week on your host Anna Garcia. We are recording this on Wednesday

0:25.8

November 10th of 2021. Our guest today is criminal defense attorney Josh Ritter, who's also a former

0:32.1

prosecutor. Josh, it's always lovely to have you. Welcome back. Thank you so much for having me.

0:37.0

And Josh, you've got your own podcast here at True Crime Daily. Yes, it's been very exciting.

0:42.5

Excellent. Okay. Well, we've got some cases for you. Here's what we're looking at. A good

0:47.9

Samaritan along with an assist from social media saves a 16 year old girl who was using hand gestures

0:55.3

to signal to other drivers that she was in distress and that she needed help. A driver in Kentucky

other men in her life who have been arrested on completely unrelated charges. At least we believe so.

1:50.1

Is there a connection? It's really unclear and you know, I don't believe in much coincidence. So

1:55.3

Josh, by the look on your face, I'm guessing you think it's pretty suspicious. It is weird and I

2:01.2

agree with you. It's hard to say that this is all a coincidence, but we know so little at this point

2:06.7
