What happens when the people who are supposed to prosecute predators instead turn their attention to the parents trying to stop them? In this explosive episode, we examine the disturbing implications of the case against Aaron Spencer, the Arkansas father who shot and killed Michael Fosler—the man accused of sexually assaulting and kidnapping his daughter. Defense attorney Bob Motta argues that this isn't just an overreach by prosecutors—it's a betrayal of public trust.
Fosler had already been arrested on 43 felony counts including rape, grooming, and child pornography involving Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter. Yet he walked out of jail on a $5,000 bond and went right back to contacting her, ultimately leading to her disappearance the night Spencer tracked down and fatally confronted him. Instead of thanking Spencer for saving his daughter, the Arkansas DA charged him with second-degree murder.
Bob breaks down why this prosecution feels less like justice and more like protection for predators. He outlines the legal mechanisms that could—and should—shield Spencer under Arkansas’s self-defense and stand-your-ground laws. And he asks a hard question the state doesn’t seem eager to answer: why are they more invested in punishing a desperate father than preventing the next victim?
If you’re angry, you should be. If you’re confused, you’re not alone. This is a case where the system looks broken—and very few seem willing to fix it.
