Part 7: The Defense The case against Letecia has been presented, and now it's time for the jury to hear the defense. There are two doctors who testify, including one high profile doctor who causes a HUGE stir in this case. The jury will watch clips of Letecia's interviews with the doctor, including one clip where Letecia turns into her other personality, Maria Sanchez, and describes what happened to Gannon. In January of 2020 11-year-old Gannon Stauch is reported missing by his stepmother Letecia in Colorado Springs, CO, sparking a massive search effort involving volunteers, as well as multiple law enforcement agencies. As the community searches for signs of the missing child, police, and Gannon's father Al, turn their attention to the bizarre behavior of stepmom Letecia, who was the last person to see him alive. As the investigation heats up, Letecia hits the road in a rental van, driving cross country with her teenage daughter to start a new life. Letecia is arrested on March 2, 2020, in Myrtle Beach, SC and charged with Gannon's death. On March 17th, maintenance workers find Gannon's remains in a suitcase under a bridge near Pensacola, FL- more than 1,300 miles away from his home. Letecia begins to tell story after story- each more outrageous than the last. Letecia blames anyone and everyone- from the drug cartel to neighborhood workers, to sex traffickers- before finally pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. The trial, which lasted 5 weeks, began in April of 2023, and each witness brought out wild new details that made the story even more unbelievable. In this seven-part series, we will walk through the background of this blended family, the search for Gannon, what happened when Letecia went on the run, her eventual arrest, and the bizarre trial that lit social media on fire.  #JusticeForGannon Visit our website at https://www.13thjurorpodcast.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@brandichurchwell Twitter: 13th Juror: @13thJurorPod Brandi: @BrandiNChurch TikTok: Brandi: @BrandiChurchwell13th 13th Juror: @13thJurorPodcast Please Note: All content including the presentation thereof on this channel is the property of Brandi Churchwell Media, LLC and protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.

It's one of the most polarizing cases in true crime history, and it's still not over. A 16 year veteran of the Boston Police Department, left to die in one of the biggest blizzards in Massachusetts history. Prosecution charged his girlfriend, 42 year old Karen Read, with his murder, claiming she hit him with her car during a fight and left him to die in the cold. The defense says Read is being framed, set up to take the fall by one of the most powerful families in this Boston suburb- all to protect one of their own. There are discrepancies in statements, missing camera footage, and deep family ties to everyone from the lead investigator to the attorney general’s office, to the judge. With every new piece of evidence, a new controversy arises. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and now both sides are prepping for trial number two, with a new prosecutor, and an addition to the defense team. Is there a conspiracy to frame Karen Read?

Bonus Episode: The prosecutors hold nothing back during cross examination of David Marshall Murdock. Plus, he takes the stand AGAIN, and also addresses Sanda, and Lisa's family directly. Best friends Lisa Bunce and Sanda Andrews were sitting on the front porch of Sanda's Florida home after a night out when 60 year old David Murdock pulled up and opened fire. Murdock shot Sanda once in the face, and shot Lisa a total of three times. He then walked outside, called 911, gave them the address, and told them he was sorry, he "had to get rid of the devil". 56 year old Lisa Bunce tragically lost her life that night, but Sanda- her best friend- survived to testify against Murdock. It took more than 5 eventful years for this case to make it to a jury. During trial, Sanda gives emotional testimony and explains what happened that night. Then, Murdock shocks everyone when he takes the stand- and his defense, is NOT what I was expecting.  Visit our website at https://www.13thjurorpodcast.com Episode Guide: 13thjurorpodcast.com/brice-rhodes Twitter: 13th Juror: @13thJurorPod Brandi: @BrandiNChurch TikTok: Brandi: @BrandiChurchwell13th 13th Juror: @13thJurorPodcast Your listens

In May of 2016, a man is gunned down in the street walking home from a concert in the park. Louisville rapper Brice Rhodes shoots the man thinking there is a bounty on his head, but doesn't realize he has the wrong guy. Teen brothers Larry and Maurice, only 14 and 16 years old, were with Rhodes at the time. When Rhodes gets word the boys may have told their family about the murder, he kills them in such a brutal way that he became known as one of Louisville's most notorious criminals in recent years. Rhodes courtroom antics made headlines when he taunted the boys' mother in court, laughing at her and blowing her kisses. He threatened to kill the judge, spat on his lawyer, attacked other inmates in jail, as well as multiple corrections officers. His antics became so bad that he was forced to wear a stun cuff during trial. The details of this case are both heartbreaking and outrageous. This is the story of 14-year-old Larry Ordway, his brother 16-year-old Maurice “Reece” Gordon, and 40 year old father of two Christopher Jones, and the trial of Brice Rhodes.

Retired Navy pilot Doug Benefield lost his wife from heart complications in December of 2015, when their daughter Eva was only 14 years old. Nine months later, Doug meets Ashley Byers at a political fundraiser. After only 13 days, the 54 year old businessman marries the 24 year old former ballerina, during a secret ceremony in Charleston, South Carolina. Together they founded American National Ballet company, but after less than a year of marriage, Ashley walked out on Doug, and the company, on the day it was set to launch. Less than one year together resulted in three years of court and custody battles. There were allegations of domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and even poisoning. In September of 2020, Doug was at Ashley's mom's house, helping load a U-Haul to move across country, when Ashley shot and killed him. She claimed self-defense, though she had no injuries and said Doug had never hit her before. Was this self-defense in a toxic relationship, or a murder over custody battle?
