Description

Mark and Gary are joined by guest host Teny Geragos for a deep dive into one of the most complex and misunderstood areas of criminal law. Using the Nick Reiner case as a lens, the panel unpacks why arraignments are delayed, how competency evaluations and insanity pleas actually work, and what lawyers must consider when mental illness is front and center. The conversation also explores who pays for elite defense counsel in family tragedies, the real-world impact of media narratives, and recent developments in high-profile cases involving Sean “Diddy” Combs and Luigi Mangione.
