Florida plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski is representing himself in the murder trial arising from attorney Steven Cozzi’s disappearance. Cozzi’s body has never been recovered, but prosecutors say blood evidence, surveillance footage, vehicle records and a collection of tools and medical supplies connect Kosowski to the alleged killing.

Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter and Jay of @jaybronious examine the first day of testimony, Kosowski’s decision to waive a jury and counsel, and whether prosecutors can prove murder without recovering the victim’s body.

Plus, Josh previews cases on the docket this week, including Nick Reiner, Caleb Flynn and Gerhardt Konig.
