NBC News spoke with four rabbis about the buzzy series, which has generated intense online reaction, including a steady stream of Brody-focused “hot rabbi” memes, since its Sept. 26 release. Nevertheless, the “hot rabbi” memes still remain a major force behind the show’s public reception. He took no issue with Brody’s “hot rabbi” character and his lifestyle. “Yeah, I’m a hot rabbi. Like Zinkow, Rabbi Sari Laufer was cautious about the show — and planned to avoid it altogether.

Sorokin was convicted in 2019 of duping friends and financial institutions out of hundreds of thousands of dollars while masquerading as a German heiress. “DWTS” alum and choreographer Maksim Chmerkovskiy called her a “professional liar” and mocked her dancing on a TMZ podcast. “Anna is fascinating to a lot of people… so I think there is an inherent curiosity about her,” Green said. Her crimes were “not right,” Sosa said, but nobody “deserves the amount of hate she’s getting.” Sorokin “deserves a second chance,” he asserted. Sorokin said she probably won’t keep up with the show as it continues, but she hopes actor Reginald VelJohnson will win.

District Attorney Linda Stanley announces an arrest in the case of missing Colorado woman Suzanne Morphew on May 6, 2021. The Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel first brought the case in October. The defense attorney for Barry Morphew, husband of Suzanne Morphew, whose remains were found last year, praised the order. State regulators allege that soon after Morphew was arrested, Stanley began texting the host of the “Profiling Evil” YouTube channel about the case. Shortly after an interview with the judge, Stanley moved to dismiss the case against Morphew without prejudice, meaning charges could be refiled.

Disgraced former South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh scored a big legal win last week after the South Carolina Supreme Court agreed to hear his appeal for a new murder trial. Murdaugh’s lawyer, however, is not worried and is focused on their appellant cases. Last week, the state Supreme Court agreed to hear Murdaugh’s state appeal for a new murder trial based on allegations that a court clerk tampered with the jury that convicted him. Former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal’s decision came after an evidentiary hearing into whether Hill’s comments during the trial influenced the jury. “We are really looking forward to making our case to the Supreme Court,” Griffin said.

“He’s built for this,” Floyd, 43, said on Friday. After his brother’s killing, Floyd believes Walz's decision to appoint state Attorney General Keith Ellison to lead the prosecution was a justice-defining moment that ultimately led to convictions against all four officers involved. “At first, he was just a regular governor, just looking like a politician. “For him to take time out of his day to speak at the funeral, I gotta give him kudos,” Floyd said. “Sometimes, it’s the people that you don’t see everyday, those are the people that have the best advice.
