In this episode of True Crime News The Sidebar Podcast: Host Joshua Ritter breaks down the biggest cases making headlines across the nation. He discusses the self-defense strategy employed by a man charged with stabbing tech millionaire Bob Lee, Lori Vallow’s bid to act as her own lawyer for her upcoming trial, and the ongoing investigation after a professional hockey player’s neck was fatally cut with an ice skate.
Tech millionaire’s alleged killer claims self-defense; Hockey player’s throat slit – TCN Sidebar

I have the full hockey video it’s gruesome
government cannot protect you or your family, you have gun rights…. you need to use your rights and protect yourself.
I remember my frst time on the ice was terrifying
What can ho wrong
However, professioal ice skaters r not trained to kill, they train to skate and y eould u commit such a crime in front of such a large audience of
Witnesses and cameras
Rediculous!!!
I pray fort this defendant….
Everyone is entitled to defense strategy
Informative
Is that normal that pending an investigation of a death. That hockey player Petgrave is not suspended, from playing.
17:22 This actually took place in a city called Sheffield, still in the UK though. I’m from there and actually know people that witnessed it. I just can’t believe no charges have been brought forward, the kick that the other player did was clearly done to injure or at least knock the wind out of him. Either way, it should be involuntary manslaughter, or at least ban him from playing professionally again
A kitchen knife? Oh he’s going to prison
Lori Vallow’s bid to act as her own lawyer, not good, If she becomes her own lawyer, you have a fool for a client
Thank you so much for your honest and insightful info. I an addicted to your court room confidential too 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’d rather be kept in limbo than have a speedy trial and be locked up for life… I mean, it’s a bit silly to compare on this merit.
I agree 💯 % with you , THANK YOU JOSHUA
I pray 🙏🏼 they lock him up ASAP
Anyone that watched knows it was on purpose. There is never a reason you use a karate kick on the ice. The man should be in jail.
Hi Josh, I love I get to watch you on your channel, Courtroom Confidential and on True Crime Daily back to back on Friday morning. I didn’t realize Bob Lee’s case already started. I would love to hear from the Prosecutor after the case is over. ( even if he can just talk in general about cases in his municipality) As soon as I heard Lori Vallow wanted to represent herself I thought of Brook’s case. Have a great weekend! Tell Tiff I said Hello!
Things happen in sports. There are people who die in soccer and football. It's not to common but it happens
So he was mad his sis was a bop & k!lled the guy over it…? 😩
Ads!?!? Noooooo
You clearly do not know enough of the English judicial system to be talking about it in this way,
Crimes of this magnitude will be passed to crown prosecution services after an initial investigation, CPS will then take their time going over all evidence with a fine tooth comb, explore all legal defences, recite and instate any stated cases relevant to alleged offences, and will be the ones to ask any forces for any degree of further evidence.
once CPS have all the evidence they state they need they will then authorise a charge for the alleged crime or inform no further action is to be taken based on a lack of evidence
In the UK an arrest is made purely based on suspicion of an offence and forms part of the investigation from arrest your either released no further action, released under bail, released under investigation or remanded to prison. If they are charged that’s when the court proceedings begin.
This system is the reason we rarely ever have innocent people incarcerated
Manslaughter and murder have no time limit so it will take as long as it needs to to ensure that justice is fair and proportionate to the alleged offence and to the accused persons
What about Donna and Wendy Adelson? It's been 10 years, not 1 as with this hockey player. Wendy still gets to raise her kids and Donna was also involved in family life for 10 years. And this is US, not British case. I really wonder about that.
Way to short.
Brilliant insights. Thanks for presenting various perspectives, even if folks in the YT comments don't always understand what you're doing.
Kicking your blade to someone’s neck… Guilty. I can’t believe he’s back on the ice.
thats the 1st season of Lincoln lawyer
I think you need to do more research on the UK legal system before criticising it. The threshold of arrest is much lower here. You can arrest someone on suspicion of committing a crime years before any charges are brought. An arrest can form part of an investigation and lead to no future charges whatsoever.
Matt shouldn’t be charged – it was an accident
The death of Lee was definitely not self defense come onnn
And if she is allowed to represent herself and fails…. she'll use the fact she was incompetent, she'll be able to have another trial!
Stfu about dumb American Products like Ozempic. Those products are all bs. You know how I know? Because false advertising is illegal in Australia, and not in America. So they only work when my vpn is on for legal reasons, proving they are a scam.
With Lori Vallow seeking to represent herself despite past competency concerns, should defendants with questionable mental competency be allowed self-representation, especially in cases as complex as hers? Could this open up issues for appeals down the line?
