Alex, remind us what happened here.

What did the prosecution say the motive was here?

After Paul Canero was convicted, his team immediately filed a motion requesting a new trial.

And the arguments were a little unusual.

Well, Paul and his defense team appeared before Judge Lemieux last week to hear what he had to say.

What did he decide?

What's next then?

We move ahead to sentencing?

Well, for our final story this week, we're going to head to Brooklyn, New York, for a big update on a case that made headlines in both the world of true crime and pop culture.

I'm talking about the 2002 murder of former Run-DMC member Jam Master Jay.

His real name was Jason Mazzell.

Alex, first off, for listeners who don't know Mazzell's work, he was a pretty big deal in the music world.

But the news this week is about an entirely different defendant, a third man.

Do we have any idea why he decided to change his plea?

And what's next in the case for Bryant?

All right.

Well, thanks for all these updates, Alex.

We appreciate it.

For our final story this week, Andrea has a sneak peek of Allegedly.

A brand new video podcast on Netflix hosted by our NBC News colleague, Alison Barber, and produced by NBC News Studios.
