Welcome aboard, Joshua Ritter!
The Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor and legal analyst is joining CrimeCruise 2026. Ritter will bring his hit podcast Courtroom Confidential to the Celebrity Beyond, breaking down the trials dominating headlines right now.
Welcome back, Matt Murphy!
The former homicide prosecutor turned defense attorney and author returns to CrimeCruise — and he's bringing a case like only he can.


CrimeCruise Courtroom
Ever wonder if you'd make a good prosecutor — or a better defense attorney? Now's your chance to find out. Step into the CrimeCruise Courtroom for a mock trial led by Murphy and Ritter, where you'll play one side of the case yourself.
The duo will walk you through a real case, teach you the art of direct and cross-examination, then hand you the floor to put your new skills to the test.
