Bob Motta: Arkansas Judge Removed, McKee's Lawyer Beat 14 Murder Charges—What Happens Now?

Two murder cases. Two very different defense strategies. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down both.

Aaron Spencer's trial just got a new judge after the Arkansas Supreme Court removed Barbara Elmore for constitutional violations—the second time in seven months. Spencer faces second-degree murder for killing Michael Fosler, the man out on bond for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter. The defense is arguing he saved his child. The prosecution has prior statements suggesting premeditation. And now a retired judge from the other side of the state is inheriting the most divisive case in Arkansas.

Michael McKee pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. His lawyer is Diane Menashe—who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen ICU murders by calling one witness and watching the state's case crumble. The prosecution has ballistics, surveillance, vehicle tracking, a suppressor. Menashe doesn't present defenses. She destroys prosecutions.

Bob Motta analyzes both cases: what judicial removal means for Spencer, how to defend a father who killed his daughter's alleged abuser, whether Menashe's Husel playbook works against different evidence, and what both cases tell us about murder defense strategy in high-profile trials.
