Aaron Spencer Case: Parental Instinct vs. Premeditated Force: A Defense Attorney’s Playbook
How far can a parent go to protect their child—and when does that line become a crime?
In Part 2 of our Aaron Spencer deep dive, we flip the script and step into the defense’s war room. Spencer’s legal team says he acted out of necessity. Prosecutors say it was murder. But the jury? They’re going to have to decide whether this was justifiable force… or personal revenge with deadly consequences.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis returns to explore how this case could—and likely will—play out at trial. What are Spencer’s strongest defenses under Arkansas law? How does the presence of a no-contact order, a prior history of alleged sexual abuse, and the discovery of the victim in Fosler’s truck shape the legal argument? And how dangerous is that reload moment—the one detail that could shift the entire perception of whether this was about protection… or punishment?
We also dive into jury strategy: what kind of jurors are likely to sympathize with Spencer? What emotional arguments work—and which could backfire? And what role will the testimony of Spencer’s daughter play in either exonerating him… or sealing his fate?
This episode peels back the tactical side of the case. The courtroom chess. The human drama behind the legal filings. Because this isn’t just a question of law—it’s a test of how the justice system handles instinct, trauma, and the deep, terrifying fear that your child might not make it home unless you intervene.
This case is far from over—but the battle lines are being drawn.
