LUIGI TO PLEAD GUILTY?- Legal Brief 2

The hectic week in the Luigi Mangione saga continues. On this week's Legal Brief, Nick and Tony discuss new reports indicating Mangione and his team may now be headed toward a guilty plea.

Even though this is similar to an NGRI, there are important differences as Nick and Tony discuss. Also on this week's episode of the Legal Chaos Podcast, we bring it back for another in-house episode and discussion about the ins and outs of drug cases.  If you are enjoying the show, please consider leaving a review, subscribing to our social media (@galawohio), liking, commenting, and sharing with a friend!
