🔥 Pull up a chair. Bob and Ali Motta sit down with veteran criminal defense attorney Mark Bederow for an unfiltered Fireside Chat — war stories from the trenches, the cases that shaped him, and a front-row look at the legal battles everyone's watching right now. Bederow is the attorney behind Aidan Kearney ("Turtleboy") in the Norfolk County witness intimidation cases — the same cases now tangled up in the Karen Read saga, special prosecutor withdrawals, and allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. And we're not stopping there. We're getting into Michael Proctor — the lead investigator whose own words became the story: the texts, the conduct, what Bob calls the campaign of hate aimed at Karen Read, and the fallout still playing out. How does an investigation get this far off the rails, and what does it mean for everyone caught in its path? No spin. No cheerleading. Just facts, through a defense-attorney lens. ⚖️ 💬 The chat is LIVE — drop your questions in the chat and we'll put them to Mark in real time. ▶️ SUBSCRIBE for live legal breakdowns every week: https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseDiariesPod 🎧 For all things Defense Diaries : https://linktr.ee/DefenseDiaries #michaelproctor #MarkBederow #turtleboy #karenread #defensediaries #truecrimecommunity #criminaldefense #aidankearney #legalanalysis #FiresideChats #lawyer 00:00:00 Intro Fireside Chats song & greetings 00:01:25 What's Mark up to? 00:03:00 What makes Mark Bederow tick?
