Talking Dateline: Breaking Point
5/13/202625 min
Andrea Canning sits down with Josh Mankiewicz to discuss his episode, “Breaking Point.” In 2020, 29-year-old Morgan Fox was shot and killed outside her Ohio home as she prepared to leave for work at a FedEx facility. As investigators searched for answers, the case led them to a workplace filled with tension and, eventually, to a man they believed was obsessed with Morgan. Andrea and Josh break down the circumstantial evidence that helped the prosecution build its case. Josh shares a podcast-exclusive clip from his interview with the killer, and they discuss the powerful and emotional victim impact statement delivered by Morgan’s daughter. Plus, they answer your questions from social media.

[upbeat music] Who gets to be a citizen of the United States at birth? When it comes to sports in school, who gets to compete with the girls? And how much power does the president actually have to hire and fire at independent agencies? These are some of the key questions before the US Supreme Court this term. And as any good lawyer knows, whether you win or lose in the highest court depends on the facts, the evidence, and how you frame your arguments, but that's not the only thing that matters. I'm Laura Jarrett, senior legal correspondent at NBC News, and this month, in a new series for our Here's the Scoop podcast, I'm talking to legal experts and lawyers whose past legal victories are now the building blocks for the biggest cases still left to be decided. I wanna know how they convinced the court they were right when the stakes were high, what special sauce locked it in, and what could be different this time around. Join us for Here's the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition, new episodes every Saturday. You can find Here's the Scoop from NBC News on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
