The Fugitive Husband, AI Lies in Court, and a Failed Fleet Attempt to Italy

About this episode

The episode discusses a manhunt for a veteran accused of murder, flawed AI in legal cases, and the complexities of family dynamics in high-profile murder trials.

A massive manhunt comes to a shocking end after authorities track down Craig Berry, the Tennessee veteran accused of shooting his wife. Former family court judge Michele Locke joins us to unpack the Hannah Payne case, where prosecutors admitted to using flawed AI-generated legal filings in a murder case. We also examine the emotional family divide in the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder case and the dangerous gamble defendants take when testifying in their own defense. Tune in for all the details.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
