In this episode of True Crime News The Sidebar Podcast: Edmond El Dabe joins host Joshua Ritter to break down the biggest cases making headlines across the nation. They discuss Christina Wang allegedly shooting her estranged husband Calvin in an argument about dating, the contentious legal battle between “It Ends with Us” co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and foster children suing Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services for uninhabitable living conditions.
Cheating wife allegedly kills estranged husband for dating; Baldoni vs. Lively lawsuit gets uglier

If it’s not first degree murder, then don’t change the narrative when it comes to men!! Double standard for women is disgustingly obvious!
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Did he marry his mother?
"She loved him so much" she committed adultery? 🤯
Try Christina Wang on 1st degree murder.
People continue to defend the heinous actions of a woman, particularly if they like the phenotype, like the men discussing this case.
If it were a man who shot his wife in the stomach and head, wouldn't the charges immediately be 1st degree murder?
Baldoni had no choice but to sue. Lively and Reynolds are going down! You might want to do a little more research and then you would understand all of this
You both are despicable. You need to stop calling those “crime of passion” , she is clearly an abuser and in her mind he was her property and was going to kill him at some point. This is what an abuser do. As for not suing the police, as difficult as it might be if they haven’t protected someone, which is their job, then yes they should be held accountable. We had enough of abusers continuing hurting their spouse because the Justice is too lenient. When it comes to Baldoni/Lively , what is the point/ are you being serious? Lively and Reynolds are destroying someone else’s life. They are entitled and they continuously mistreated people. You might think it is not worth it , that he is losing more but if you can’t understand that doing the right thing and is more important then you shouldn’t be involved in the Justice system. That’s because of people like you that we are going backwards.
I beg to differ – have you watched the punitive damage the jury awarded Depp? – wasn’t it 30 million? Depp was worth 100 mil back in 2022 . Jury cares about the truth . It’s not their money anyway so d rather award the victim maximum
I’m reminded of the South Florida man who spent $250,000 on attorney fees in his effort to avoid paying his ex wife $3,000.00 a month.
Great show Josh, thank you! And fun to see you have your law-partner-in-law as a guest!
Regarding the foster placement situation, I will say this: Things are not always what they seem. It's natural to feel sorry for the kids when the story you get is one-sided. And since they will probably settle that's all you have to go by. But if you were blindfolded and only touched the ear of an elephant, you would think it was flat and flexible.
finally a case for the girlies 😂 always seems to be males
As a country our children, all children deserve so much better.
Will I know that I won't be going to see any Blake lively movies. Never watched any of her movies never watched her TV show she was on I think she's just to stuck up on herself and her and Ryan Reynolds with all them daughters of theirs yeah this is a lesson for them and I won't watch any Ryan Reynolds movies anymore I only watched one of his movies but I don't think I want to watch him making fun of other actors in the end of his movies because of his insecurities. Hopefully they will get exactly what's meant for them
Baldoni is a predator..
Baldoni versus Lively is so effing boring….. 🥱
Crickets from the alabaster's!

Great tie Edmond
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks Joshua and Edmond for your interesting comments♥️
Its interesting how lawyers can have such different takes. One of the other lawyers on here thinks diddy us done for but josh doesnt think its been proven
Some are good…some are also wicked.
The way her face faded into his is kinda disturbing lol no more fade effects 😂😂
How does someone like "The Punisher" walk into a veiled-lit room, get paid in bowls and bundles, and still not notice the imbalance of power? Just curious — when the client says “don’t look at my husband,” isn’t that already the whole story trying not to be seen?
