You wanted to be a lawyer. Yeah. I must say, I have only followed that case by watching your stories. But that is a weird story. And that's the kind of thing we were talking about earlier in which this is not a traditional Dateline defendant in which they're involved with or close friends with or married to somebody in the case.
That's a sweet thought. Yeah. Just for the audience's benefit. None of that was true. Keith, Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you, too, Josh. And one more thing. I have a new podcast out called Deadly Mirage.

Deadly Mirage. We called it Deadly Mirage because the other seven or eight titles that we thought of were all taken. My choice was Keith Wasn't Interested, but that apparently was also taken. Yeah. But anyway, it's called Deadly Mirage, and it's going to run on Dateline as a TV episode Friday at 9 o'clock Eastern. Oh, isn't that interesting? That's sort of a clever idea.

If you've been listening to this podcast, you can now watch the TV program, and you'll see what all these people look like. Oh, just to see what they look like. And what the places look like. Anyway, so Deadly Mirage, that's... That's this Friday on Dateline. And I hear it's pretty good, Josh, so congratulations on that. Thank you very much. One more thing.

I was worried that unless we had more, that this would be a case where everybody knew that he did it, but nobody could prove it. So time to take a harder look at the evidence. A defendant who seems quite confident. There was a certain swagger that he and his team had. I think they felt that they could win it.

He could reasonably argue that the crime scene, particularly his apartment, wasn't adequately secure. Uh-huh. Sure. And that other people had access. Indeed they did. And therefore, you can't prove I did it. Yeah. So there was a certain swagger there. that he and his team had, I think they felt not unreasonably that they could win it.
