Matthew Farwell: Could His Opening Statement Come Back to Haunt Him?

Did Matthew Farwell’s defense open the door to testimony from three other women? Federal prosecutors are challenging his attorney’s opening statement, asking to introduce evidence of other alleged affairs and accusing the defense of citing text messages they say do not exist. What could these disputes mean for the jury and the case over Sandra Birchmore’s death? Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter is joined by attorney Randolph Rice to examine the prosecution’s new motions, the defense’s strategy, and what the judge’s decisions could mean as testimony begins. Also tonight: Paul of ‪@Reportinglivefrommysofa‬ joins us to discuss the latest testimony and evidence in the Faith Hedgepeth murder trial, plus a preview of the Leigha Mumby vehicular homicide trial ahead of opening statements. Join Courtroom Confidential LIVE at 5pm PT / 8pm ET for the evidence, legal arguments, and questions that could shape these cases.
