Now, in Episode 5, which features legendary criminal defense and trial attorney, Mark Geragos, the spotlight is more on the perpetrator, with both Host Glass and Geragos, whose highly publicized cases have made headlines over several decades. He talks directly to the would-be Domestic Violence offender about what is likely in store for them should they veer out of control and attack their ex or current partner. If you want to catch up on prior Episodes in Season 8, please do. So far, we’ve covered Parental Alienation abandoned father (Victor Dohleman- Episode 1); renowned psychologist (Dr. Richard Warshak) who broke down the psychological impact of that “syndrome;” and then moved forward with a compelling story told by (Alesia Litteral – Episode 3) a Domestic Violence victim who survived a violent attack by her husband, who nearly killed her. Glass then followed that dramatic interview with a serious chat with Matt Murphy (Episode 4), a former prosecutor for Orange County, Calif’s D.A.’s office (who tried 20 homicide cases and won convictions for all of them). Murphy ran down the most important red flags in a toxic relationship that signal an intimate partner might be subject to verbal and physical Domestic Violence. Maybe even death. Host Glass, who chimed in on the troubling subject also shared his wisdom on “triggers” that send the angry ex over the edge (Episode 5). Coming up as summer kicks off will be California State Senator Susan Rubio (22nd District), who not only addresses Domestic Violence, but she will also share her own experience as a victim of it. She will then go on to talk about how the case of a familial homicide case (a father killed a couple’s 5-year-old son) which prompted her to write Piqui’s Law (CA Senate Bill 331), which passed in 2024. The bill has since influenced countless other U.S. states to take similar steps. Rubio will also tick off the other pieces of legislation she has authored, co-authored, and championed, all of which have passed the California State Senate with flying colors.
