Pool fragments on a dead girl's leggings. That's the evidence that came out of Day 3 of the d4vd preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, and it draws a direct forensic line between the Hollywood Hills garage where prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke dismembered fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the clothing found with her remains.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that a blue inflatable kiddie pool in the garage had deliberate cuts — "scalloped and straight" — made with a sharp tool. The fragments removed from those cuts were recovered from Celeste's leggings. Criminalist Samantha Tosch testified the DNA matched. Criminalist Lauren Wallace found cleaned-up blood throughout the garage. And jugs of fake blood were sitting in the same space — the defense says music videos; the prosecution points to the real blood scrubbed from surfaces feet away.Blair Berk, Burke's defense attorney, spent her cross-examination asking what police didn't test. Chainsaw handles were never swabbed for DNA. The Tesla exterior was never tested. Multiple people lived in the house. Berk is building toward an alternative theory. But Detective William Roecker's cell tower testimony tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times — starting on the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same highway corridor.The hearing continues. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen years old when she went to his home and was never heard from again.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

d4vd — the preliminary hearing put sealed evidence into open court and the defense used every minute of cross-examination to attack the prosecution's physical evidence. Blair Berk established that all three chainsaws recovered from the defendant's residence tested negative for blood. Prosecutors never ordered DNA testing on any of them. The tools that the prosecution says were used in the alleged dismemberment of Celeste Rivas Hernandez have no biological material connecting them to the crime.Berk also went after evidence handling: the cadaver bag was not fully preserved during collection and the burn cage was not seized during the initial search. If the prosecution's theory depends on these items, the defense is arguing the items don't support the theory.On the financial side, testimony established that the defendant earned more than ten million dollars. But the defense showed that his mother and his financial manager handled virtually all transactions — building distance between the defendant and any alleged financial motive. Three special circumstances are alleged: lying in wait, financial gain, and the allegation he acted to eliminate a witness. The DA has not yet decided whether to seek the maximum penalty.Eric Faddis breaks down what the defense accomplished, where the prosecution has to fill gaps before trial, and whether the special circumstances survive this hearing.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

d4vd — prosecutors told a Los Angeles courtroom that online purchases of chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a shovel, and an inflatable pool were central to the alleged dismemberment and cover-up of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death. They presented financial records, delivery logs, and alias accounts allegedly tied to the defendant. The digital trail is extensive.But the defense exposed a gap: all three chainsaws recovered from the defendant's home tested negative for blood. No DNA testing was performed. The tools that prosecutors say carried out the alleged cover-up have no biological evidence connecting them to the crime. Berk also pressed on evidence handling — the cadaver bag was not fully preserved and the burn cage was not collected during the initial search.Matching tattoos were shown in court. Prosecutors allege two specific fingers bearing a tattoo of his name were removed from Celeste's body and have never been located. Financial testimony put earnings above ten million dollars, but the defense demonstrated the defendant's mother and financial manager ran every transaction.Eric Faddis examines whether the defense is planting real trial strategy or just running standard cross-examination — and how a prosecution survives the gap between its theory and its physical evidence.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey cover the latest Universal Orlando Resort news before digging into a surprisingly rich piece of Universal Studios Hollywood history: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe briefly taking over the upper lot during the 1985 holiday season. They start with Fourth of July offerings at Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, CityWalk, and Bar 17 Bistro, then look at Illumination's box-office track record, Epic Universe guest surveys, and how Universal is comparing itself against Disney. The featured story traces He-Man's Conan-inspired roots, Mattel's toy-driven rise, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade connection, and why Masters of the Universe has never quite found a permanent theme park home. NEWS • Universal Orlando's Fourth of July plans included patriotic stilt walkers, fireworks at Epic Universe, lagoon entertainment at Universal Studios Florida, and family-friendly festivities at CityWalk. • Jim highlights Bar 17 Bistro at Aventura Hotel as one of the best rooftop spots for seeing fireworks across Central Florida. • Minions and Monsters opens the discussion of Illumination's reliable box-office machine and the studio's next wave of films, including Sing 3, The Secret Life of Pets 3, and Not Alone. • Eric shares new Epic Universe survey questions about park hours, nighttime entertainment, guest satisfaction, and whether visitors leave for other Orlando-area options. • Jim and Eric discuss why How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk has become a new themed entertainment benchmark, and how Disney's upcoming Villains Land may be compared against it. FEATURE • The feature begins with old photos of He-Man, Skeletor, Orko, She-Ra, and other Masters of the Universe characters appearing at Universal Studios Hollywood. • Jim and Eric trace the sword-and-sorcery path from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories to Universal's Conan the Barbarian films and the long-running Adventures of Conan stage show. • Eric explains how Mattel's abandoned Conan toy plans helped lead to He-Man, Castle Grayskull, and the Masters of the Universe toy line. • The episode revisits the Filmation cartoon, the toy-and-TV boom of the 1980s, and the way He-Man became a playground staple for a generation. • Jim and Eric connect the 1985 Universal Studios Hollywood He-Man meet-and-greet to the Masters of the Universe Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float. • The conversation looks back at Gary Goddard's 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, and why it struggled despite the franchise's popularity. • Eric explains why He-Man is unlikely to become a major Universal attraction, even as Masters of the Universe merchandise appears in Universal parks. • The discussion closes with Mattel Adventure Park's proposed He-Man vs. Skeletor laser tag experience and what a future Castle Grayskull attraction might look like.

Eli Berk, sports producer and anchor, joins John Landecker to dive into what's on Eli’s sports-filled brain for that day! Today, Eli dives into the MLB Home Run Derby, one crucial detail you should know about each of the 8 participants, and a preview of the World Cup semifinals.

We planned a Disney trip, then swerved hard and surprised the kids with two nights at the Helios Grand Hotel, the on-site hotel with a dedicated entrance right into Universal Epic Universe. From the moment we saw Celestial Park through those huge lobby windows, we knew this was going to be a different kind of vacation story. We talk first impressions, the reality of check-in, our park-view deluxe room, and why the “smart” controls felt cool in theory but clunky in practice. Then we get to the big swing: a private Universal VIP tour for our one full day inside Epic Universe. We break down what the tour includes, how having a guide changes your entire theme park strategy, and why the Florida heat turned “let's do everything” into a real stamina test. We also do the math on posted wait times and share the headline number: 615 minutes of lines avoided, plus expedited meals and constant water runs that kept us moving. Portal by portal, we share the honest highs and the sharp edges: Super Nintendo World's sensory overload and Mario Kart augmented reality, Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness and its track-jump illusion, Isle of Berk's Toothless moments and Hiccup's Wing Gliders joy, Dark Universe's monsters and jaw-dropping animatronics, and the Wizarding World's 1920s Paris leading to an unforgettable Ministry of Magic reveal. We also talk coaster intensity on Stardust Racers, accessibility and moving-platform loading concerns, and what we'd do differently next time. If you're planning a Universal Orlando vacation, deciding between Express Pass and VIP, or just curious whether Epic Universe is worth the hype, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a theme park friend, and leave us a quick rating and review.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Steve Riley sits down with attorney Kent Berk this week, on Great Practice, Great Life, to unpack a case every lawyer needs to understand: United States v. Heppner. A former CEO who used a free Claude account to draft thirty-one documents before he was indicted, and prosecutors seized every one of them. The judge ruled none of it was privileged because no attorney directed the work. The bigger lesson extends far beyond one criminal case. Clients are already using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools to research legal issues, draft timelines, summarize facts, and develop strategies, often without telling their attorneys. Kent and Steve explain why that creates new risks for attorney-client privilege, confidentiality, discoverability, and even the quality of evidence in a case. Whether you run a solo practice or a growing firm, this episode offers a roadmap for addressing AI with clients before a preventable mistake becomes a costly problem. The message is clear: AI is here to stay, but legal judgment, privilege, and client trust still require a lawyer. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: How the United States v. Heppner decision stripped privilege from documents created in a free AI account Why attorney-client privilege does not automatically extend AI tools The hidden risk of clients using AI before, during, and after they hire counsel What attorneys should add to intake processes, engagement letters, and firm AI policies Why AI can assist legal work but can never replace attorney judgment ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

In today's Daily Fix:Data reported on by Game File's Stephen Totilo show a steady decline in sales for Sony's first-party games. Despite a roster of heavy hitters such as Ghost of Tsushima, the Spider-Man games, God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, and others, they've moved fewer and fewer of those games every year (with the exception of fiscal year 2020). However, Ghost of Yōtei did reverse this trend, providing a small sales bump for the fiscal year ending March 2026. In other news, Bethesda's Fallout 76 will be getting its long-awaited current-gen update this summer. A patch note in the latest "Infestations" update revealed that a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade is coming in a few months. And finally, we're once again visiting How to Train Your Dragon's Isle of Berk to experience the tale of The Untrainable Dragon – all at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort, and its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

In today's Daily Fix:Wizards of the Coast reportedly have remakes of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 in development. While they have plans for a Baldur's Gate 4, it's likely a long ways off and a remake of the first two games would hopefully hold over fans during the wait. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 already received Enhanced Editions that were basically souped up remasters, and it's unclear what form these remakes will take. In other news, James Gunn has shared the first official look of Nicholas Hoult in the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, premiering next year. It features Hoult's Lex Luthor in full battle armor.

“I don't see things like anybody else,” says Jonathan Berk, a professor of finance at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “And so I can see things people don't see.” On this episode, Berk explores recent research that pushes against conventional wisdom, from questioning the utility of the debt-to-GDP ratio to asking whether regulation is actually in the best interests of the consumer. “If you disagree with me… You have to write down a convincing theoretical model and analyze [it].”Berk admits his unique lens doesn't always make life easy. But on the other hand, “it confers an enormous advantage” — and he believes that organizations which are able to harness the power of unconventional thinking can gain a competitive edge.“It's allowed me to solve problems that other people couldn't solve,” he says.

Confidence at the arraignment. Caution less than two weeks later. David Anthony Burke's defense team demanded a fast preliminary hearing — then asked for a delay after the discovery started arriving.Blair Berk told the court at the arraignment that the prosecution's case couldn't withstand scrutiny and pushed for a hearing within ten days. But when the files started landing — including wiretap results, testimony from three grand juries, and roughly forty terabytes of digital evidence — defense attorney Marilyn Bednarski asked Judge Charlaine Olmedo to push the hearing to May 26.The defense also tried to get the prosecution's nine-page evidence brief sealed from the public. Berk called it "entirely one-sided" and warned it would taint the jury pool. The judge denied the request.Beth Silverman told the court she'd warned the defense that this volume of evidence was coming. She'd already told witnesses to cancel planned vacations for the original hearing date.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what changed behind the scenes, what the wiretap tells us about the investigation's reach, and what to watch for at the May 26 hearing.Part 3 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three grand juries were convened during the investigation into the alleged murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Not one produced an indictment against David Anthony Burke. Prosecutors confirmed the grand juries were used for investigative purposes — subpoena power, witness compulsion — but when it came time to charge Burke with first-degree murder and three special circumstances, the Los Angeles County DA filed a criminal complaint.That procedural choice carries consequences, and defense attorney Blair Berk appears to be building her strategy around it. She publicly flagged the grand juries' failure to indict, then pushed for a preliminary hearing within ten court days — forcing prosecutors to present their evidence before a judge at the earliest possible opportunity. Trial attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what changes when a case proceeds on a complaint rather than an indictment, what evidentiary thresholds shift at the preliminary hearing stage, and whether Berk is telling us that the grand jury record itself is central to the defense.Faddis also examines the special-circumstance allegations — particularly financial gain, which DA Nathan Hochman framed as Burke acting to protect an existing music career Celeste allegedly threatened to expose. The question of whether protecting current income meets the legal standard for murder motivated by financial gain is precisely the kind of allegation a defense team can target surgically. Faddis explains whether removing one special circumstance changes sentencing exposure without affecting the murder charge, and what Burke's dual-denial statement — "did not murder" and "was not the cause of her death" — sets up as a trial posture.The unsealed autopsy confirmed Celeste died from penetrating wounds to her torso. Prosecutors allege over forty terabytes of digital evidence, exploitation material on Burke's phone, and continuous abuse beginning when Celeste was thirteen.Retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke addresses listener questions on the investigative timeline, the year-long gap between Celeste's disappearance and Burke's arrest, and what the three grand jury proceedings reveal about the complexity and challenges prosecutors faced in building this case.Burke has pled not guilty and is held without bail. All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three grand juries. Months of proceedings. Subpoena power. Witness testimony. And not one of them produced an indictment against David Anthony Burke in the alleged murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. So the DA filed a criminal complaint instead — and defense attorney Blair Berk made sure the courtroom heard that distinction loud and clear before pushing for the fastest possible preliminary hearing.That is not a detail. That is the fault line this entire case may crack along.Trial attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis — who has sat on both sides of a murder case — breaks down what it means when a grand jury cannot or will not indict, what changes when prosecutors proceed on a complaint, and why Berk's aggressive timeline signals a defense that wants the evidence tested publicly, not protected behind sealed proceedings. Faddis has seen what happens when a prosecution builds a case on volume rather than precision, and he examines whether over forty terabytes of digital evidence is strength or a warning sign that investigators cast an extraordinarily wide net.The felony complaint charges Burke with first-degree murder carrying three special circumstances — including financial gain, which DA Nathan Hochman tied to Burke allegedly protecting an existing music career Celeste reportedly threatened to expose. Faddis challenges whether that framing meets the legal standard or whether prosecutors are stretching a definition to reach death-penalty eligibility. He also dissects the defense's carefully constructed statement — "did not murder" and "was not the cause of her death" as two separate claims — and explains what trial strategy that dual denial sets up.The unsealed autopsy confirmed Celeste died from penetrating wounds to her torso. Prosecutors allege exploitation material was found on Burke's phone and that the abuse began when she was thirteen. Her dismembered remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke that had been towed from the Hollywood Hills while he was on tour.Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, takes listener questions on the investigative timeline, the year between Celeste's disappearance and Burke's arrest, and what behavioral indicators investigators likely tracked while building a case against someone with significant public visibility. Celeste was reported missing three times. The system had chances. It didn't act.Burke has pled not guilty and is held without bail.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Adam Berk, CEO of One Bullion (TSXV: OBUL) believes the paradigm for the gold market has shifted to a world where a strong US dollar and rising bond yields aren't applying the same headwinds on the metal that they used to, as accelerating dedollarization is set to push the gold price to new all-time highs in 2026. Adam also unpacks how One Bullion fits into the picture, with their full ownership of prospecting licenses relating to three high-potential gold projects across Botswana, backed by data, scale, and a bold vision for discovery.One Bullion Website: https://onebullion.comFollow One Bullion on X: https://x.com/OneBullionLtdDisclaimer: Commodity Culture was compensated by One Bullion for producing this interview.

David Anthony Burke faces the most serious charges the Los Angeles County DA can bring. First-degree murder with three special circumstances. Continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen. Mutilation of human remains. The death penalty is a possibility. His defense team — led by Blair Berk — drew a line before charges were even filed: Burke "was not the cause of her death." He has pleaded not guilty.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski to break down how a defense team fights charges this severe — and where the strategy either holds or collapses.Motta examines the specific language Berk used. That is not a vague denial. If the defense already knows the cause of death from the unsealed autopsy findings and they're confident it helps them, Motta explains what kind of alternative explanation that phrasing is designed to support. Because at some point, Burke's lawyers have to tell a jury a story that explains how a fourteen-year-old girl he was publicly connected to ended up in the condition she was found — not just poke holes, but give jurors a version that makes sense.Prosecutors allege Celeste was threatening Burke's career the night she was last seen alive. That's their financial motive special circumstance. Motta examines how the defense dismantles that — and whether it can work. He also addresses the mutilation charge and whether a defense team can separate causation of death from what happened to the body afterward in front of a jury.But there is a second story in this case. Celeste was not actually missing for most of the year the public was told she was gone. Eleven sheriff's calls to her family home in fourteen months. No school enrollment for a full year. Surveillance video placing her in her own neighborhood months after she was reported missing. An ex-boyfriend on the record. A private investigator asking hard questions. Motta and Dreeke address how both stories converge — and what the defense does with them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part 2 of our deep-dive with former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis. This one is on the charging document itself. First-degree murder with three special circumstances. Continuous sexual abuse of a child. Mutilation of human remains. The death penalty is on the table.We cover DA Hochman's financial-gain theory and whether it actually fits the statute, Blair Berk's ten-day preliminary hearing push, the significance of a complaint versus an indictment after a grand jury failed to indict, the forty-plus terabytes of discovery Berk says she still has not received, and the newly unsealed autopsy report and what it could do to the entire defense theory.Eric closes on the language the defense keeps using. Not "he didn't do it," but "he was not the cause of her death." Two separate legal claims. Eric explains exactly what trial theory that language signals and how the prosecution has to adjust for it.Subscribe for daily coverage of this case as it moves toward trial.

Lucia de Berk was a Dutch pediatric nurse convicted in 2003 of murdering patients. The evidence: she was present during unexplained deaths, statistical correlation suggested her presence wasn't coincidence, and medical experts interpreted clinical events as deliberate harm. She was sentenced to life in prison. In 2009, a court accepted the deaths were natural. She was completely innocent. She served six years for crimes that never happened.The experts who helped overturn de Berk's conviction say the Lucy Letby case follows the same pattern. The same type of evidence. The same structural flaws. The same certainty built on the same kinds of assumptions.Dr. Shoo Lee, the neonatologist whose own research was cited at Letby's trial, assembled a panel of fourteen international medical experts who reviewed every case. Their conclusion: no evidence of murder in any of the seventeen cases. The Royal Statistical Society criticized the prosecution's use of numbers. A police consultant statistician was told to stop her analysis. The handwritten notes prosecutors called a confession were reportedly written on a counselor's advice. And the door-swipe data was found to have been mislabeled.The CPS declined additional charges in January 2026. Thirty-one expert reports were submitted to the CCRC in February 2026.Part four of five. The parallel is real. The challenge is professional. And the conviction is being tested by the very kind of evidence that overturned the last case just like it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is not internet speculation. This is not armchair detective work. This is credentialed, professional doubt from doctors, statisticians, and legal scholars who have reviewed the evidence and concluded that the conviction of Lucy Letby may be built on flawed science.Dr. Shoo Lee, a retired neonatologist based in Canada whose 1989 research was cited at trial, has said the prosecution's expert witness misinterpreted his work. He convened fourteen international medical experts who reviewed every case and found no evidence of deliberate harm. The Royal Statistical Society formally criticized the staffing chart. A police consultant statistician said the numerical evidence doesn't hold water. A leading expert on confession evidence challenged the interpretation of Letby's handwritten notes. NHS consultants filed formal complaints about the prosecution's primary medical witness.The door-swipe records used at trial were found to have been mislabeled. The CPS declined to bring additional charges in January 2026, stating the evidential threshold had not been met. And the case of Lucia de Berk, a Dutch nurse wrongfully convicted on nearly identical evidence and fully exonerated in 2009, looms as a direct parallel.In February 2026, thirty-one expert reports from twenty-six international specialists were submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission. A review is underway.Part four of five. The conviction stands legally. The science behind it is under siege.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode on The Gritty Nurse, host Amie Archibald-Varley sits down with Dr. William Berk as he shares his transformative journey from a traditional emergency medicine career to exploring the depths of mental health and emotional well-being. After graduating from Brown University and completing his residency at Mount Sinai, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Berk faced the overwhelming challenges of working in a high-pressure environment. He discusses how the emotional toll of the pandemic led him to reevaluate his life choices, ultimately guiding him towards meditation and psychedelic therapies as tools for healing. Dr. Berk emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for healthcare professionals to discuss their mental health and the need for compassion in the medical field. As he delves deeper into his personal experiences, Dr. Berk recounts a life-altering health scare involving a massive aortic aneurysm, which prompted him to confront his own mortality. This experience further fueled his desire to help others navigate their emotional landscapes. He is currently in India, exploring spiritual practices and the concept of presence, aiming to integrate these insights into his medical practice. The conversation highlights the critical need for healthcare providers to prioritize their mental health and the importance of fostering open dialogues about emotional well-being in the medical community. William Berk is an ER doctor, assistant professor of medicine, psychedelic researcher & guide, sound meditation & breathwork facilitator.

Blair Berk's first public statement on behalf of D4VD was deliberately precise: David Burke “was not the cause of her death.” Now that prosecutors have filed first-degree murder with special circumstances—including lying in wait, financial gain, and killing a witness—that statement is either the foundation of a viable defense or a promise the evidence will expose.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to analyze the defense strategy against charges this severe.If the defense has reviewed the now-unsealed autopsy findings and believes the cause of death supports their position, Motta explains what alternative theory could be emerging. The defense doesn't just need to create reasonable doubt—in a case with a 14-year-old victim and death-penalty eligibility, they eventually need to offer a jury a coherent alternative narrative.The prosecution's financial gain theory—that D4VD killed Celeste because she was threatening his career—is examined from the defense perspective. Motta analyzes how the defense dismantles a motive built on career protection when the alleged gain is keeping a lucrative brand alive.The mutilation charge presents a separate challenge: even if the defense casts doubt on the cause of death, explaining why Celeste's body was dismembered—head and torso separated from limbs—requires its own answer. Motta examines whether the killing and the disposal can be separated in a jury's mind.The episode also addresses the pattern of investigative resistance from D4VD's circle and the strategic implications if prosecutors pursue the death penalty.Defense strategy analysis for the most serious criminal case in Los Angeles.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Something strange is happening at the portals of Epic Universe — and Mike and EB saw it coming. Weeks ago, walking out of Isle of Berk, Tom from Louisville spotted three capped utility holes flush in the concrete right at the portal entrance. Nobody knew what they were. This week, Universal installed facial recognition turnstiles in those exact spots. And Universal has said absolutely nothing about why. Mike and EB break down every theory — per-portal tickets, open Celestial Park access like a City Walk, corporate buyouts locking guests out of entire lands for the night, after-hours experiences, and the unexplained pockets of empty retail space in Celestial Park that have never made sense for a fully ticketed theme park. Nobody has the answer yet. But this is the most interesting story in theme parks right now. Also this week — Universal Orlando launches Express Now, an app-based Lightning Lane-style line skip at $25 per ride. Yes, including Yoshi's Adventure. There are layoffs happening across Disney and Six Flags that aren't being reported widely but are affecting people the show knows personally. Six Flags reinstates park presidents at 10 parks — and the list of who made the cut says everything about which parks matter to the new company. The Stolen Kingdom documentary from the makers of Closed for Storm is coming — including the Buzzy animatronic mystery, the most unresolved crime in theme park history. And a new S&S tower ride is going up at Area 15 in Las Vegas. Then in the second half — Mike is 48 hours from boarding a plane to Las Vegas, and he's got a very specific list of things to do at night. Universal Horror Unleashed gets the full breakdown — four haunted houses, small group dispatches for maximum scares, a $49 one-time ticket, and a $20 Fraidy Cat option if you just want the bars and atmosphere. Plus Odyssey Manor, the Golden Tiki, the shrunken head induction ceremony that COVID stole from everyone, and an AI-generated Coaster Radio tiki bar t-shirt from Matt the Archivist that Mike is genuinely considering wearing to the Las Vegas Convention Center. ]Tune in next week for the full trip report.

OA1250 - A fall out of bed during a vacation in Delaware turned into a Supreme Court case, decided this term, that could have big implications for states' rights to limit tort suits… in federal court. Did Delaware take a good-faith precautionary measure to reduce frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits? Or did they put up an unfair barrier to plaintiffs who deserve restitution? Perhaps reasonable people can disagree on that. But in the rare circumstance you manage to bring that state tort case into a federal courtroom, SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that it's clear Delaware's rule is a step too far. (They can still do what they want in their own courts, but not here). How far-reaching will the consequences be? Legal reporting seems split! Come for the (brief, not too gory) medical drama, stay for the review of the Erie Doctrine so you can pass your Federal Civil Procedure class. A nice chill case where the world isn't burning down and the justices mostly act like normal respectful people. Berk v. Choy, 607 U.S. ___ (2026) Erie Railroad Co. v.

Part two of the Coaster Radio Listener Question Show is here and this one gets personal. Mike and EB answer the question every longtime listener has wanted to ask — what would you tell your 2005 selves knowing what you know now? The answer involves regretting the name, wishing they'd bought Facebook stock, and making friends with Neil Patrick Harris sooner. Standard stuff. Also this week — is the theme park industry past its peak or is the best still ahead? Where does EB rank on CoasterCount.com and how many coasters has Mike actually ridden? Is Isle of Berk actually better than Galaxy's Edge? A listener from the Netherlands gets a complete Six Flags Great Adventure survival guide including EB's legendary every-90-minutes dining plan strategy that may or may not feed your entire group on one meal ticket. And the full story of the Cedar Point meetup where Mike and EB set up a grill in the parking lot, flew a 24-foot flag made of PVC pipe, and had to be talked down by both park security and the Sandusky Police — saved only by the British charm of Matt from Yorkshire. Plus Coaster Boy makes a surprise comeback. The Discovery Channel almost gave Mike and EB a TV show three times and ghosted them every time. And what is the biggest thing Coaster Radio has accomplished in 20 years? Spoiler: 800 episodes, one puppet, and one Neil Patrick Harris.

With shocking and uncharacteristic efficiency, we manage to discuss three merits opinions and one orders list dissent in only 47 minutes. Specifically, we  revisit Coney Island Auto Parts Unlimited, Inc. v. Burton (time limits for moving to vacate void judgments) and break down Berk v. Choy (an Erie doctrine puzzle), and Ellingburg v. United States (criminal restitution and the Ex Post Facto Clause), while also managing to discuss Justice Jackson's broadside against the Court's practice of "martinization."
