Television
Kavinoky's first television appearances related to his participation in several high-profile criminal cases, and included expert commentary on NBC's Today Show, CNN's Larry King Live, and many local news shows in Los Angeles, California.
Kavinoky's career as an expert began in earnest with the arrest of Mel Gibson for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2006. Following Kavinoky's commentary on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, he was sought out by Court TV to provide expert insight into many other cases, including the Cynthia Sommer murder trial in San Diego, the Phil Spector murder trials in Los Angeles, and many other significant cases around the United States. Kavinoky became the legal analyst for The Insider following his reporting of the death of Michael Jackson. He has since traveled around the country for the show, filing reports on topics as varied as the Sarah Palin book tour, Oprah Winfrey's retirement announcement, the untimely death of Daniel Kerrigan, Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce, the John Edwards sex tape scandal and the domestic violence prosecution of Charlie Sheen.
Kavinoky is the co-creator and host of Deadly Sins, which airs at 9 p.m. each Saturday night (and repeated throughout the week) on Investigation Discovery. The show uses the seven deadly sins as an analytical framework for understanding extreme forms of criminal misbehavior.
