videos. if you asking a question. we had a great time today, gentlemen, we appreciate it. thank you so much. thank you. thank you have a great great one. you guys, we'll see you next time here. i like it or not peace and love. your body. out. break it down rock your body. now go. i'm anna garcia right now on true crime news. the accused rapist, realtors of miami, asap rocky's legal team on the attack, and the celebrity hairstylist wife on trial for a murder for hire plot. >> this is your classic murder love triangle. >> inside the three biggest true crime cases in america, starting with the multi-millionaire alexander brothers, who have gone from selling huge houses to the big house, the same jail as diddy and luigi mangione.

>> the new york u.s. attorney's office has been very busy. >> then asap rocky's lawyers calling his alleged victim a jealous money seeker who made up parts of his story. >> there are no shell casings. there's no blood. there's nothing to even indicate that a real gun was ever fired. >> plus, a heart pounding police chase comes to a horrifying end. an armed and deranged killer who just shot his wife dead. then gunfire erupts. >> i've been shot. >> officer nick cederberg clings to life, hit by a dozen bullets. >> i felt that i had lost my husband. >> thanks for joining us. rapper asap rocky, monica mantiply and the alexander brothers, three of the most talked about legal cases making their way through the courts right now. and here to break down the latest with me are civil rights attorney areva martin and former prosecutor and host of true crime news, the sidebar podcast. josh ritter.

welcome you two. >> thank you so much. >> hi, anna. >> he's the grammy nominated hip hop star and rihanna's partner, accused of taking a rap beef with a former friend to the next level by opening fire on an la street. let's get right to asap rocky. rihanna has made an appearance in the courtroom. how significant do you think she's been looming large in this case? >> areva la juries. we love our celebrities, so a sighting of rihanna could be really significant in terms of the outcome of this case. now she's not on trial. she's not a witness. she's just there to support her common law husband, her boyfriend, asap rocky. but people seen her. that sends a pretty powerful message. i mean, she's loved. >> i think the defense is being clever. they know the attention this case is getting. they know a celebrity is in the room. there's a celebrity on trial, and now there's a celebrity sitting in the gallery. so i think you would be hard pressed to say it's not having any

effect on the jurors. >> what do you think of that video of asap rocky pushing his way through the cameras to get into the courtroom? >> probably not the best way to enter the courtroom, but he is on trial. and there is this just, you know, mob of paparazzi that's at the courtroom's door every day. what's more important about this case is the lack of evidence that the prosecution has. this is a really bizarre case. you have asap rocky saying, i had some kind of play gun that had play ammunition. there's no shell casings, there's no blood. there's nothing to even indicate that a real gun was ever fired, other than the testimony of the alleged victim, and that victim has some holes in his story that we know the defense will exploit. >> pointing down the shot. >> the first shot. >> do you think it's a little odd that it's the victim who says he picked up the shell

casings himself and took them to police? >> i think it's more than a little odd. it's incredibly problematic for the prosecution. i mean, their entire case rests on the testimony of one individual, not just his testimony and believability with the jurors, but the fact that he's the one now recovering evidence. that's a big problem. >> 3xn wealthy real estate brothers face serious allegations of sexual assault and trafficking. prosecutors say they preyed on women dating back decades. the alexander brothers, we have two cases going. one in florida, and then we have the federal case in new york. so what are the allegations as far as the trafficking part of this. >> charges are that they lured women to these fancy getaways, these parties, some out of the country, and that at these parties, they would drug these women, and then they sexually assaulted them and allowed other people, encouraged other men to sexually assault these women. and their allegations that these

brothers, the three of them, were literally bragging about assaulting women in high school, making cryptic notes in their high school yearbooks about how they abused women. so the bigger question for me is how come it took so long. >> to areva's point, why did it take so long? because these women were afraid. because these men had such tremendous power, because they had such tremendous wealth and because they had access, they presented to these women a life that they never could have even dreamed of. the celebrities and the sports figures and the wealthy, wealthy people and these parties and trips and everything else. >> josh, which is the stronger case here? >> i think the federal case is by far stronger, and it looks like it's going to take the lead after putting up hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to get bail, they've been denied bond, shipped back up to new york, where this case has been filed in the southern district in new york, and they've spoken to it sounds like over 40 different women who do

not know each other have no reason to collude with each other, yet all corroborate each other in very similar and very disturbing stories about what they had suffered at the hands of these men. >> they're being housed in a facility where some other high profile suspects are being held. >> the new york u.s. attorney's office has been very busy. there's no irony lost here that they're being housed in the same these cases are remarkablybs. similar about men who have had wealth and privilege and power for so long, and got away with it for so long, and now the walls have closed in, and now they're they're really seeing that their number is up. >> a los angeles celebrity hairstylist killed in cold blood at home. now his wife is on trial for orchestrating the murder in the murder of fabio simoncelli. we have already two people who have pled are

convicted, and now we're dealing with the wife. so she claims she's innocent. what chances does she have of getting off here? >> i don't think she has much of a chance at all. this is your classic murder love triangle. monica's having an affair with mr. baker. she decides that the husband is in the way, and they need the insurance proceeds from his death to continue on with their relationship. so she and mr. baker and a third individual plot this murder. but when you have two individuals, defendants who've already pled, and we know one at least is going to testify in favor of the prosecution against monica, i think she's facing a very uphill battle. >> josh, areva, thank you so much. we will be following all of these cases very closely, and we'll bring you updates here and on true crime news.com. coming up next, a cop chasing a fugitive wife killer finds

himself in the gunman's crosshairs. >> i've been shot. zero code, zero trooper down. >> can officers save one of their own and catch the crazed man who shot him? >> today we are talking about medicare part. >> c. >> commonly called medicare advantage. if you're losing benefits for any reason or new to medicare, you can call now because you may be eligible for plans in your zip code with additional benefits or cost savings you may not be receiving now, or that may have previously not been available to you. different part c plans are available in different parts of the country, so don't wait. call the number on your screen now. you should call now even if you've called before. we will check to see if there is a part c plan available in your area, with additional benefits and potential cost savings. call to speak with a licensed insurance agent and find out if you are eligible for a special enrollment period. you don't get medicare part c benefits automatically, so call now for

>> the alleged killer keeps firing at nick from his car window. >> shooting more rounds. we didn't know exactly where they were at. >> suddenly, the police radio crackles with a call for help. >> i've been shot. it got really, really eerily quiet, and this sense of dread. >> all units are frantically trying to find the location of the shooting. >> coming up behind you. i don't know if the fact that. >> patrol car by patrol car, they finally begin to arrive at the scene. >> you see in the car you left. >> cops find nick's patrol car sitting nose to nose with the fugitive killer's car. >> and then i saw down on the ground an officer laying face down. >> as several officers tend to their fallen brother. the rest are hunting for the shooter and warning neighbors to stay away. >> in the house. lock the door. >> officer joseph twigg, armed with a rifle, suddenly gets a

strange feeling. >> i got the woods, i told somebody, hey, cover my left. it felt exposed. you know something about the left felt exposed. somebody get cover on him! we got cover on him, i got cover. he moved up and he shines his light there. and i just remember his face sitting in the bushes, looking right at us. next thing i know, i shot popped off. i was turning, and i fired. >> a shot that sets off a massive explosion of gunfire from other cops. joseph believes the killer was counting on taking him down. instead, tilka is found lying dead, determined to have been self-inflicted. >> i just put. >> him out. >> but the only police casualty is one officer on the ground by the side of his patrol car. it's state police trooper nick

cederberg. >> herro trooper down. >> barely clinging to life after he was shot 12 times. but miraculously, nick is moving. >> i remember seeing officer twigg tending to him. >> hey, nick, it's twigg, all right. stay with me, buddy. >> when we come back, nick fights for his life. >> they pulled him out of the ambulance and he was just covered in bullet holes. he looked ead. >> but that is not the end of nick's story. >> can support your brain health. >> mary. janet. hey, eddie. >> noé. fraser. frank. >> frank. >> fred. how are you? >> fred? >> support up to seven brain health indicators, including memory. >> when you need to remember. >> remember nariva. >> we at visiting angels want. >> to thank you for welcoming us into your home, no matter where that home may be. the challenge
