George Pino Trial Ends, Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Sentenced, and Luigi Mangione Scraps Psych Defense, with Lauren Conlin

The MK True Crime Show host Dave Aronberg and guest co-host Mark Eiglarsh join the program to discuss the latest developments in George Pino’s trial for boat manslaughter, whether or not the evidence supports the felony charges Pino faces, if politics influenced the case, how the attorneys are handling the pressure, the courtroom drama that has been a throughline in the emotional trial, Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann’s sentencing hearing, the judge’s harsh words for the admitted killer, and later Dave and Mark are joined by LA Magazine contributor and independent reporter Lauren Conlin to discuss Luigi Mangione’s recently announced and subsequently scrapped Extreme Emotional Disturbance defense, what made the defense strategically attractive, why they may have reversed course immediately after filing their intent to pursue the psychiatric defense, how public opinion may have influenced the surprising move, the last confirmed photo of still-missing retired Air Force General Neil McCasland, and more.
