Here's an interview I did with Leah Viste, the lead prosecutor on both the Crews and Hoehn cases. The new video will be free on YT tomorrow.

[Spoilers below]

Leah is still quite strongly of the mind that Will Hoehn conspired with Brooke and pulled the garrote around Savanna's neck, while I lean more toward Will's final story being mostly if not entirely true. It's not anything like a debate though, we just talked through it to help me sort of check myself a bit before wrapping the script. I found it very helpful and insightful. Massive thanks to Leah for taking the time to discuss the case with me. She did so in her spare time, which is why you don't see her in a power suit sitting in front of a giant bookcase here.

We also talked about a bunch of other stuff in the case too, including quite a few details that didn't make it in the video. I've also attached the day of the trial transcript that includes the thing we mention where prosecutor Ryan Youngren and defense witness Jennifer Robinson started going at each others throats. Starts on page 754.
