KY v. Martin: Ex-Pilot Charged in Triple Murder

06/17/21 • 43 min

Christian “Kit” Martin, the former U.S. Army major and commercial airline pilot, took the stand in his own defense this week in an attempt to convince the jury he had nothing to do with the gruesome deaths of three of his neighbors. Was he able to convincingly explain all of the evidence that implicated him? Did he cast enough suspicion on his former love interest, Joan Harmon, the accused bigamist who used her 5th amendment rights to get out of testifying? Host Vinnie Politan and Court TV’s Ted Rowlands will look at the evidence, including some that could implicate Harmon.

It’s been 8 months since the bodies of Tylee Ryan and her little brother JJ Vallow were discovered buried in Chad Daybell’s backyard. But at the time no murder charges were filed against Daybell and his new wife, the children’s mother, Lori Vallow. All that has changed now as the couple were charged with the deaths of not only Tylee and JJ, but also Chad’s first wife Tammy. That alone would be a major update in the story, but then days later it was revealed that Lori has been deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, prompting the judge to put a halt to all proceedings in her case. Court TV anchor Ted Rowland’s joins host Vinnie Politan to discuss all of the revelations and how they could impact the case going forward.

FL v. Ronnie Oneal: Double Homicide Defendant Represents Himself

The stakes couldn’t be higher for defendant Ronnie Oneal. He’s on trial for double homicide, accused of brutally murdering his girlfriend, his special needs daughter and attempting to kill his seven-year-old son. Florida prosecutors think the crime merits the death penalty, which makes it all the more remarkable that Ronnie Oneal chose to act as his own lawyer and defend himself. Acting as his own lawyer means he also got to cross examine the state’s star witness, Oneal’s son. Court TV followed the trial and we’ll bring you excerpts of Oneal’s closing arguments as our host Vinnie Politan and famed Jodi Arias defense attorney Kirk Nurmi discuss why the old adage about the man who represents himself has a fool for a client tends to be true.
