YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWelcome to Courtroom Confidential Conversations! This week, Josh sits down with Bob Motta, criminal defense attorney and host of true crime podcast Defense Diaries.
Bob shares the fascinating story behind how his podcast started—a project sparked by a box of cassette tapes given to him by his father, a defense attorney for serial killer #JohnWayneGacy, containing their recorded conversations during trial preparation.
After years of holding onto the tapes, Bob launched Defense Diaries during the pandemic, using them to explore the Gacy trial from a legal perspective while centering the victims' stories.
In this conversation, Bob reflects on his own work as a defense attorney, his journey navigating true crime storytelling, and how Defense Diaries became a powerful platform for true crime and legal storytelling.
