Aaron Spencer Case: The Father, the Firearm, and the Felony, A Prosecutor’s Dilemma

Aaron Spencer Case: The Father, the Firearm, and the Felony, A Prosecutor’s Dilemma

What happens when the justice system fails to protect—and a father takes justice into his own hands?

In this gripping first episode, we dive deep into the explosive case of Aaron Spencer, the Arkansas father and decorated military veteran now facing second-degree murder charges for fatally shooting Michael Fosler—a man accused of sexually abusing Spencer’s teenage daughter. Fosler, despite 43 felony charges, was out on bond and allegedly in violation of a no-contact order the night Spencer tracked down his truck and found his daughter inside.

Spencer made a split-second choice. Now he’s facing decades behind bars. But was this murder… or justified protection?

Joining me is Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and current defense attorney, who breaks down the prosecution’s side of this legal firestorm. We unpack why the State decided to file charges despite overwhelming public support for Spencer, what the second-degree murder charge actually means under Arkansas law, and how prosecutors navigate the high-wire act of pursuing a case that looks like vigilante justice to some—and heroic parenting to others.

We also explore the Arkansas Supreme Court’s unprecedented intervention, after a sweeping gag order attempted to seal this case from public view. Spoiler alert: it backfired, big time.

This isn’t just a legal breakdown. It’s a wake-up call. Because when victims don’t feel safe and predators walk free, it’s not a question of if someone will take matters into their own hands—it’s when.

Don’t miss this opening deep dive into one of the most emotionally charged, morally complex, and legally combustible cases in the country right now.
