Laura Coates Live, April 17, 2026

World-famous magician Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller tells Laura Coates why he’s urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject what he calls “bogus” hypnosis-based testimony in the death penalty case of Charles Flores. He explains how techniques like stage hypnosis can distort memory, warning that “someone could be put to death based on the cheesy tricks that I’ve spent my life doing.”
