  • Murder in Prescott: The Trial That Gripped Arizona – The Steven DeMocker Case
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode we explore one of the most high-profile murder trials in Arizona history—the case against Steven DeMocker.

    When Carol Kennedy was found bludgeoned to death in her Prescott home in 2008, suspicion quickly turned to her ex-husband. Despite the lack of direct physical evidence, DeMocker was arrested, tried, and ultimately convicted. But questions still linger: Was the evidence truly convincing? Did the prosecution go too far? And what does this case reveal about how circumstantial evidence can sway a jury?

    Hosted by the attorneys at Grand Canyon Law Group, this episode brings former prosecutors and experienced defense lawyers together to analyze the complexities of the legal system and what’s at stake when your freedom is on the line.
