  • Murder in Prescott: The Trial That Gripped Arizona – The Steven DeMocker Case
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode we explore one of the most high-profile murder trials in Arizona history—the case against Steven DeMocker.

    When Carol Kennedy was found bludgeoned to death in her Prescott home in 2008, suspicion quickly turned to her ex-husband. Despite the lack of direct physical evidence, DeMocker was arrested, tried, and ultimately convicted. But questions still linger: Was the evidence truly convincing? Did the prosecution go too far? And what does this case reveal about how circumstantial evidence can sway a jury?

    Hosted by the attorneys at Grand Canyon Law Group, this episode brings former prosecutors and experienced defense lawyers together to analyze the complexities of the legal system and what’s at stake when your freedom is on the line.

  • Trigger Point: Self Defense or Murder - The Harold Fish Story
    May 7 2025

    The Harold Fish Case – A Fatal Hike in Arizona

    In this gripping episode, we dive into one of Arizona’s most controversial self-defense cases: the 2004 shooting of Grant Kuenzli by retired schoolteacher Harold Fish.

    What started as a peaceful solo hike in the Coconino National Forest turned deadly within minutes. Fish claimed he was forced to fire in self-defense after being charged by Kuenzli, who had aggressively confronted him—following a dispute over two unleashed dogs.

    Fish was convicted of second-degree murder in 2006 and sentenced to a decade in prison. But years later, that conviction was overturned. What changed? And what does this case tell us about the justice system, gun rights, and the ever-blurry line between self-defense and excessive force?

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The facts and timeline of the shooting
    • The prosecution's theory vs. the defense's strategy
    • The role of Kuenzli’s dogs—and their impact on the case
    • The trial, conviction, and the appeal that reversed it all
    • How this case helped reshape self-defense laws in Arizona

    Was this truly a justified shooting? Or a deadly overreaction?

    Tune in as we unpack the legal, moral, and societal implications of the Harold Fish case—and why it still sparks debate two decades later.
