  • At Death's Door: Cops and Suicide Response

    In Alexandria, a 9-1-1 call prompts a welfare check on a man in mental distress--Paul Behan had lost his wife and job, and had been drinking. Paul answered the door with a rifle under his chin, and a tense standoff began. Officers pleaded to save Paul from himself-- but should they have been there in there in the first place? Being mentally unwell isn't against the law, and if no one else is in danger, should police take the risk?

  • The Defense Destroyed: The Suitcase Case | Part 4 (Live)

    In Day Five of Sarah Boone's Trial, attorney James Owens' lack of prep time shows as he cross examines State witness Doctor Tonia Werner, a forensic psychiatrist practicing since 1998, and asks the doctor to confirm Sarah's battered spouse syndrome (BSS) and PTSD. Werner stated she didn't have enough evidence to diagnose PTSD and said most damningly that because Sarah stated at the outset that she and victim Jorge Torres were having a fun day of hide-and-go-seek, Sarah had no reasonable belief she was in imminent danger. This pulled the rug out of Sarah's entire defense-- she has BSS, yes, but it didn't matter during the moment when Sarah zipped the case shut and never let Jorge out again. The state closed out the day with release of 911 calls and body cam footage from domestic violence cases before the murder, and Jon and Drew break it all down live, and take your comments and phone calls.
