The retrial of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, has been delayed following a joint motion from both the defense and prosecution. The delay, granted by Judge Beverly Cannone, allows additional time for both sides to prepare as they navigate disputes over key evidence and expert testimony. Read, 44, is charged with second-degree murder and related offenses in connection with the January 2022 death of O'Keefe. His body was discovered in the snow outside a Canton home after a night of drinking. Prosecutors allege that Read struck O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die, while her defense argues she is the victim of a cover-up involving law enforcement and others. The retrial was initially scheduled to begin in January 2025. Both parties, however, requested the delay, proposing an April 1, 2025, start date. In their motion, attorneys cited the need for "adequate time" to prepare due to new evidence and expert analysis that will be presented. Judge Cannone approved the motion and indicated that final scheduling details would be discussed at a Dec. 12 hearing. This hearing will also address the defense's attempt to introduce testimony from Dr. Marie Russell, a veterinarian who testified in the first trial. Dr. Russell has argued that O'Keefe's injuries could be attributed to dog bites rather than being struck by a vehicle. Prosecutors are challenging her qualifications as an expert witness, with a Daubert hearing set to assess whether her testimony meets the legal standards for relevance and reliability. Read's defense continues to assert her innocence, alleging she has been framed in a conspiracy involving law enforcement and others. Her attorney, David Yannetti, has pointed to perceived irregularities in the investigation, including inconsistencies in how damage to Read's SUV was documented. “There is overwhelming evidence that Karen Read is the victim of a miscarriage of justice,” Yannetti said. “We are confident the retrial will expose the truth.” The first trial, which ended in a mistrial in July 2024, saw jurors deadlocked on a manslaughter charge but reportedly leaning toward acquittal on more serious counts. Read's legal team has since appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to dismiss some of the charges, arguing that the jury's findings in the first trial support her claims of innocence. Prosecutors maintain that Read acted with reckless disregard for O'Keefe's safety. They contend that she struck him with her SUV and failed to seek help, leaving him to succumb to the elements. Efforts to strengthen their case in the retrial have included requests for additional forensic testing of Read's SUV and obtaining recordings from interviews involving Read and her family. Judge Cannone recently denied a prosecution request to access phone records from Read's parents but approved their request to analyze unedited interview recordings. Complicating matters further is a civil lawsuit filed by O'Keefe's family against Read and the establishments where the couple had been drinking before his death. A judge has paused depositions and discovery in the civil case until the conclusion of the criminal retrial. As both sides prepare for the upcoming trial, the Dec. 12 hearing will play a crucial role in determining the scope of evidence and testimony that can be presented. The retrial remains a focal point for those closely watching the legal battle, which has raised questions about the intersection of law enforcement, justice, and personal relationships. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #Retrial #JusticeSystem #LegalNews #MassachusettsCrime #CourtUpdates Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Would you buy a charming Long Island home with a history tied to an alleged serial killer? In this episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis delve into the impending sale of Asa Ellerup's Massapequa Park house—the same residence where her husband, Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach killer, may have committed unspeakable acts. They explore the challenges of selling such a notorious property, the potential legal hurdles, and whether the government might step in due to ongoing investigations. Could future buyers find themselves living in a crime scene under scrutiny, or is it just a fixer-upper with a dark past?

What happens when justice becomes a twisted game of power and corruption? In Letcher County, Kentucky, the scandalous tale of former deputy Ben Fields, convicted of using his authority to exploit female inmates, seemed shocking enough. But when District Judge Kevin Mullins was fatally shot by Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines in his own chambers, the case took a darker turn. Allegations of secret recordings, judicial misconduct, and power plays have exposed a seedy underbelly of the justice system. As new revelations emerge about Mullins' alleged illicit activities, including manipulating cases for personal gain, the focus shifts to the potential complicity of others in the courthouse. Did the sheriff act out of a sudden, heated realization, or was he protecting his family from something far more sinister? With a federal lawsuit and explosive evidence surfacing, every verdict and sentence tied to Mullins is now under scrutiny. Is this a case of justice served, or has a deeper corruption yet to be uncovered? #TrueCrime #JudicialCorruption #HiddenKillers #BenFields #KevinMullins #ShawnStines #JusticeOrRevenge Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Scott Peterson, convicted in 2004 of murdering his pregnant wife Laci Peterson and their unborn son Conner, made a virtual court appearance in his ongoing efforts to overturn his convictions. Peterson joined the San Mateo County Superior Court hearing remotely from Mule Creek State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence without parole. The Los Angeles Innocence Project, which began representing Peterson earlier this year, has filed three motions aimed at exoneration. On Tuesday, the court addressed the first motion: a request to seal proceedings to protect potential witnesses' identities. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo dismissed the motion, clearing the way for future public scrutiny of the case. Peterson's legal team argues that key evidence from the original investigation was either mishandled or overlooked. "There are significant questions about the evidence used to convict Mr. Peterson," said a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Innocence Project. The next motion hearing, scheduled for May, will focus on post-conviction DNA testing of evidence connected to a burned van. The van, located near the Petersons' Modesto home around the time of Laci's disappearance in December 2002, contained a blood-stained mattress. A former fire investigator claims the circumstances surrounding this evidence were not thoroughly investigated. In July, the court will hear the third motion, which seeks post-trial discovery. This includes details about a burglary that occurred across the street from the Peterson home at the time of Laci's disappearance, a missing watch belonging to Laci, and documentation from witness interviews. Peterson's case was transferred to San Mateo County for the original trial due to extensive pre-trial publicity in Stanislaus County. In 2004, Peterson was convicted after the remains of Laci and Conner washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay months after being reported missing. The trial revealed troubling details, including Peterson's affair with Fresno massage therapist Amber Frey. Frey testified that Peterson had told her he was a widower, even as his wife was still missing. The California Supreme Court overturned Peterson's death sentence in 2020, ruling that potential jurors were wrongly dismissed for their views on the death penalty. However, his convictions for murder were upheld. In 2021, Peterson was resentenced to life in prison without parole. A 2022 motion for a new trial, based on allegations of juror misconduct, was denied. As Peterson's legal battle continues, questions about the evidence and investigation remain central to his defense. The upcoming hearings could significantly impact the case's trajectory, as Peterson's team seeks to challenge the narrative that led to his convictions nearly two decades ago. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #TrueCrime #InnocenceProject #LegalBattles #JusticeSystem #CourtUpdate Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What happens when allegations begin to stack up against the next generation? Christian Combs, the youngest son of Sean "Diddy" Combs, faces serious allegations in a civil lawsuit filed by former yacht stewardess Grace Markey, who accuses him of sexual assault and battery during a 2022 yacht trip. The case mirrors troubling patterns already alleged against Diddy, raising questions about the environment that shaped Christian and how insulated privilege may have blurred the lines between right and wrong. With investigators scrutinizing the broader Combs empire, including Diddy's own history of alleged violent behavior, how far will the ripples spread? Is it wise for Christian to remain in the public eye amid these mounting accusations, or could the spotlight turn into a scorching heat? As more individuals come forward with disturbing claims against Diddy, including allegations of violent acts witnessed and endured, we're left wondering: How much more is hidden beneath the surface, and who else may be implicated as the truth unravels? #TrueCrime #ChristianCombs #DiddyAllegations #CivilLawsuit #CelebrityScandal #JusticeForSurvivors #FBIAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Peterson joined the San Mateo County Superior Court hearing remotely from Mule Creek State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence without parole. The Los Angeles Innocence Project, which began representing Peterson earlier this year, has filed three motions aimed at exoneration. On Tuesday, the court addressed the first motion: a request to seal proceedings to protect potential witnesses' identities. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo dismissed the motion, clearing the way for future public scrutiny of the case. Peterson's legal team argues that key evidence from the original investigation was either mishandled or overlooked. "There are significant questions about the evidence used to convict Mr. Peterson," said a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Innocence Project. The next motion hearing, scheduled for May, will focus on post-conviction DNA testing of evidence connected to a burned van. The van, located near the Petersons' Modesto home around the time of Laci's disappearance in December 2002, contained a blood-stained mattress. A former fire investigator claims the circumstances surrounding this evidence were not thoroughly investigated. In July, the court will hear the third motion, which seeks post-trial discovery. This includes details about a burglary that occurred across the street from the Peterson home at the time of Laci's disappearance, a missing watch belonging to Laci, and documentation from witness interviews. Peterson's case was transferred to San Mateo County for the original trial due to extensive pre-trial publicity in Stanislaus County. In 2004, Peterson was convicted after the remains of Laci and Conner washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay months after being reported missing. The trial revealed troubling details, including Peterson's affair with Fresno massage therapist Amber Frey. Frey testified that Peterson had told her he was a widower, even as his wife was still missing. The California Supreme Court overturned Peterson's death sentence in 2020, ruling that potential jurors were wrongly dismissed for their views on the death penalty. However, his convictions for murder were upheld. In 2021, Peterson was resentenced to life in prison without parole. A 2022 motion for a new trial, based on allegations of juror misconduct, was denied. As Peterson's legal battle continues, questions about the evidence and investigation remain central to his defense. The upcoming hearings could significantly impact the case's trajectory, as Peterson's team seeks to challenge the narrative that led to his convictions nearly two decades ago. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #TrueCrime #InnocenceProject #LegalBattles #JusticeSystem #CourtUpdate Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What really happened to John O'Keefe that fateful night? As the community of Canton remains deeply divided, the case surrounding the tragic death of the police officer grows even murkier. Allegations swirl, with motions denied and evidence questioned. Were suspicious phone calls placed? Did Karen Read truly confess, or is this a case of selective evidence? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins to unpack the psychological dynamics at play—how entrenched biases and community mistrust fuel the fire on both sides. With questions about police oversight, the weight of ambiguous evidence, and the role of the internet in deepening divides, the case feels less about justice and more about fractured alliances. Is this about uncovering the truth, or has it become a spectacle of who can shout the loudest? What will it take to bring peace to a community so deeply entrenched in its own narratives? #TrueCrime #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #PoliceOversight #JusticeForAll #CommunityDivides #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The conversation explores how perception, history, and human fallibility shape both trials and outcomes.

What drives someone to take a life? For Ashley Benefield, the alleged "Black Swan" ballerina, her story is as complex as her pirouettes once were. Convicted of first-degree manslaughter for the death of her estranged husband, Doug Benefield, Ashley's tale unfolds like a tragic ballet—intense courtroom drama, emotional outbursts, and claims of abuse that remain as tangled as the relationship itself. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychological dynamics at play: Was Ashley a manipulative performer, a victim of abuse, or both? How did family dynamics, especially the influence of her mother, shape her actions? And could the absence of objective, stabilizing forces have led to the deadly escalation? The jury found her culpable, but the story leaves plenty of questions. Was justice truly served, or is this just one act in a larger tragedy? Can two opposing truths exist simultaneously, and if so, where does accountability begin and end? #TrueCrime #AshleyBenefield #ManslaughterCase #CourtroomDrama #FBIAnalysis #HiddenKillers #JusticeDebate Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 26-year-old tech whiz and Ivy League graduate is being questioned in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown last week in what authorities describe as a calculated and targeted attack. Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Maryland, was detained Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources say he was apprehended after customers reported his suspicious behavior. When police arrived, they discovered a gun with a silencer, multiple fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the U.S. healthcare system. Mangione has not been charged but is considered a person of interest in the case. Authorities are investigating whether he traveled to Altoona by bus from Philadelphia after fleeing the crime scene in Manhattan. Thompson was killed last week by a masked assailant who approached him from behind at approximately 6:45 a.m. Surveillance footage captured the gunman fleeing on foot and then on a bicycle into Central Park. The suspect was last seen boarding a bus at a depot in Upper Manhattan, prompting a multi-state manhunt. The shooting sent shock waves across corporate and healthcare sectors. Thompson, a prominent figure in the industry, was known for his leadership in one of the nation's largest private healthcare providers. Mangione's manifesto reportedly condemns the healthcare industry for prioritizing profit over patient care. Law enforcement sources suggest that Mangione's animosity may stem from personal experiences, as he lost close relatives in 2013 and 2017. During high school, Mangione worked briefly at an assisted-living facility, an experience that might have shaped his perspective. Authorities also found evidence of Mangione's affinity for anti-capitalist causes and environmental activism. His online activity included approving quotes from Ted Kaczynski, the notorious “Unabomber,” as well as philosophical musings from figures like Socrates and Bruce Lee. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, which is in addition to a $10,000 reward from Crime Stoppers and the NYPD. The incident has sparked debates on the safety of corporate executives and the broader implications of resentment toward the healthcare industry. Online reaction to Thompson's murder has been mixed, with some expressing outrage and others highlighting grievances against private healthcare providers. Law enforcement officials are monitoring these discussions as part of their investigation. Mangione's Background A valedictorian of the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore, Mangione graduated in 2016 before pursuing artificial intelligence studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Once described as a promising student in computer and cognitive sciences, Mangione's trajectory took a dark turn as he delved into radical ideologies. While authorities believe the shooter acted alone, they are piecing together the timeline of events leading to Thompson's killing. Mangione's motives and whether he has confessed remain unclear. This developing case underscores the intersection of personal grievances, ideological extremism, and violent action, leaving many in shock and mourning over the loss of a corporate leader. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information to come forward. #UnitedHealthcare #BrianThompson #LuigiMangione #HealthcareMurder #Altoona Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jay-Z, the iconic rapper and entrepreneur, has strongly denied allegations in an amended lawsuit claiming that he, along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000. The lawsuit, filed under New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, alleges the assault took place at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in New York. The accuser, identified as "Jane Doe," alleges she was lured to the party under false pretenses. According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe was dropped off at Radio City Music Hall by a friend and later driven to a private party at a white house by a limousine driver employed by Mr. Combs. At the party, she alleges she was drugged and assaulted. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, dismissed the allegations in a public statement, calling them a "blackmail attempt." He addressed the attorney representing the plaintiff, Tony Buzbee, saying: "My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a 'lawyer' named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!" Carter added, "The allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you (Tony Buzbee) file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?" Carter also expressed concern about the impact on his family, saying: "My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people." Mr. Combs, who faces unrelated sex-trafficking charges and is currently in jail awaiting trial, denied the allegations through his legal team. A statement from his representatives called the lawsuit "the latest in a series of shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs." The statement emphasized that Mr. Combs is confident in the judicial process and believes it will prove his innocence. Combs is currently facing 30 additional lawsuits, many alleging sexual assault or harassment. The lawsuit describes a chilling series of events in 2000. Jane Doe claims she was approached outside the VMAs by a limousine driver who said she "fit what Diddy was looking for." She alleges she was taken to a party where she observed widespread drug use and was served a drink that made her feel disoriented. According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe went into a room to lie down and was later joined by Mr. Combs, Mr. Carter, and an unnamed female celebrity. The lawsuit alleges that both men sexually assaulted her while the female celebrity watched. Jane Doe claims she fought back and eventually escaped when Mr. Combs paused in surprise. The lawsuit also states that Jane Doe continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression as a result of the alleged assault. She is seeking unspecified damages. Tony Buzbee, the Texas-based attorney representing Jane Doe, has faced criticism from both Carter and Combs. In response, he posted on social media, sharing a picture of himself in military uniform with a caption stating, "I also won't allow anyone to scare my clients into silence. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and I am quite certain the sun is coming." Buzbee has been involved in several high-profile cases in recent months, many involving allegations against celebrities. Critics have questioned his approach, but Buzbee remains adamant about seeking justice for his clients. As the case moves forward, it highlights the challenges survivors face when bringing allegations against powerful figures. The legal process will determine the validity of the claims, but for now, the public attention underscores the broader discussions about accountability and the treatment of survivors in high-profile cases.

Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky, the Florida surgeon accused of mistakenly removing the liver of a Muscle Shoals man during a surgery intended to remove his spleen, has surrendered his medical license in Alabama. On Monday, the Alabama Medical Licensure Commission accepted Dr. Shaknovsky's full license surrender, weeks after the death of 70-year-old William "Bill" Bryan. The commission had previously suspended his license in October, citing concerns that his continued practice posed “an immediate danger to his patients and the public.” Bryan and his wife, Beverly, were in Destin, Florida, on Aug. 19 when Bryan experienced pain on his left side. A Florida doctor diagnosed him with a spleen issue and insisted on performing emergency surgery. Despite Beverly's plea to return home for treatment in Alabama, the doctor warned that Bryan would “bleed to death” if moved. On Aug. 21, Dr. Shaknovsky performed the operation but removed Bryan's liver instead of his spleen, resulting in Bryan's death on the operating table. A pathologist later confirmed that the organ labeled as Bryan's spleen was, in fact, his liver. The tragedy has triggered investigations by both the Florida Department of Health and the Walton County Sheriff's Office. Florida health officials suspended Dr. Shaknovsky's medical license on Sept. 24 after reviewing this case and another in May 2023, where he allegedly removed part of a patient's pancreas instead of the adrenal gland during surgery, causing permanent harm. Dr. Shaknovsky, licensed in Alabama since 2016, has faced prior allegations of surgical errors. According to attorney Joe Zarzaur, this was not the first case of a wrong-site surgery involving Dr. Shaknovsky; a previous case from 2023 was reportedly settled. “Everyone knows you can't live without your liver. It's like pulling out someone's heart,” Beverly said. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners filed the complaint leading to the suspension and ultimate surrender of Shaknovsky's license. “Our duty is to ensure that physicians licensed in Alabama meet the highest standards of patient care,” said William M. Perkins, Executive Director of the board. “When a physician's actions jeopardize patient safety, we act decisively to safeguard the public.” The Walton County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with the medical examiner and State Attorney's Office, is investigating the case to determine if criminal charges will be filed.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What Did The Sheriff Know About Alleged Judge Sex-Ring, And When Did He Know It? What happens when a web of corruption and coercion spirals into a shocking act of violence? In Letcher County, Kentucky, a scandal involving former deputy sheriff Ben Fields—convicted of rape and sodomy in 2022—has exploded into even darker territory. Fields was found guilty of using his position to coerce female inmates into sexual acts, but the story didn't stop there. Now, a federal lawsuit and new testimony suggest deeper layers of misconduct, implicating those in power. At the center of this chilling saga is the violent death of District Judge Kevin Mullins, shot eight times by Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines in his chambers. Whistleblowers and emerging evidence hint at a seedy underbelly, including allegations of judges engaging in illicit acts within their own chambers. Sheriff Stines' connection to the judge and a federal lawsuit raise unsettling questions: How much did he know? And could this be an act of protection—or something even darker?

What happens when the apple doesn't just fall close to the tree, but practically rolls right into the family orchard of allegations? Christian Combs, son of Diddy, now faces serious sexual assault allegations stemming from an incident aboard a yacht in 2022. Is this a case of the privileged and powerful believing the rules don't apply to them, or something deeper rooted in a life of excess and indulgence? With eerie parallels to allegations against his father, Christian finds himself at the center of a civil lawsuit. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unpack the legal and cultural implications of this case, examining the blurred boundaries between entitlement and criminality. What kind of environment fosters such alleged behavior, and how do you even begin to defend someone who might not see what they've done as wrong? Is this just the beginning of a larger reckoning for the Combs family, or will it follow the familiar pattern of denials, payouts, and moving on? #ChristianCombs #DiddyAllegations #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalDrama #YachtLifeScandals #RichAndFamous #AllegedAssault Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What Will Life Be Like For Black Swan Ashley Benefield In Prison? What happens when a former ballerina's tale of alleged abuse doesn't quite pirouette into believability? For Ashley Benefield, it culminated in a 20-year sentence for the first-degree manslaughter of her estranged husband, Doug Benefield. Despite her theatrical courtroom performance claiming self-defense, the jury remained unconvinced. Was it the lack of evidence, the over-the-top dramatics, or glaring inconsistencies that led to her downfall? Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to unravel this intricate case. They delve into the jury's perspective, Ashley's possible motives, and the questionable decisions that led to such a tragic finale. Could a more genuine narrative have altered her fate, or was this outcome inevitable from the moment the shots were fired? And then there's the post-sentencing spectacle: an attractive convict in a world where infamy often attracts admirers. How soon before Ashley's prison mailbox overflows with love letters and marriage proposals?

The layers of deceit and betrayal in this case leave us wondering: What more remains buried? #TrueCrime #KentuckyScandal #Corruption #JudicialMisconduct #DarkSecrets #MurderMystery #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky, the Florida surgeon accused of mistakenly removing the liver of a Muscle Shoals man during a surgery intended to remove his spleen, has surrendered his medical license in Alabama. On Monday, the Alabama Medical Licensure Commission accepted Dr. Shaknovsky's full license surrender, weeks after the death of 70-year-old William "Bill" Bryan. The commission had previously suspended his license in October, citing concerns that his continued practice posed “an immediate danger to his patients and the public.” Bryan and his wife, Beverly, were in Destin, Florida, on Aug. 19 when Bryan experienced pain on his left side. A Florida doctor diagnosed him with a spleen issue and insisted on performing emergency surgery. Despite Beverly's plea to return home for treatment in Alabama, the doctor warned that Bryan would “bleed to death” if moved. On Aug. 21, Dr. Shaknovsky performed the operation but removed Bryan's liver instead of his spleen, resulting in Bryan's death on the operating table. A pathologist later confirmed that the organ labeled as Bryan's spleen was, in fact, his liver. The tragedy has triggered investigations by both the Florida Department of Health and the Walton County Sheriff's Office. Florida health officials suspended Dr. Shaknovsky's medical license on Sept. 24 after reviewing this case and another in May 2023, where he allegedly removed part of a patient's pancreas instead of the adrenal gland during surgery, causing permanent harm. Dr. Shaknovsky, licensed in Alabama since 2016, has faced prior allegations of surgical errors. According to attorney Joe Zarzaur, this was not the first case of a wrong-site surgery involving Dr. Shaknovsky; a previous case from 2023 was reportedly settled. “Everyone knows you can't live without your liver. It's like pulling out someone's heart,” Beverly said. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners filed the complaint leading to the suspension and ultimate surrender of Shaknovsky's license. “Our duty is to ensure that physicians licensed in Alabama meet the highest standards of patient care,” said William M. Perkins, Executive Director of the board. “When a physician's actions jeopardize patient safety, we act decisively to safeguard the public.” The Walton County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with the medical examiner and State Attorney's Office, is investigating the case to determine if criminal charges will be filed.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 26-year-old tech whiz and Ivy League graduate is being questioned in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown last week in what authorities describe as a calculated and targeted attack. Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Maryland, was detained Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources say he was apprehended after customers reported his suspicious behavior. When police arrived, they discovered a gun with a silencer, multiple fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the U.S. healthcare system. Mangione has not been charged but is considered a person of interest in the case. Authorities are investigating whether he traveled to Altoona by bus from Philadelphia after fleeing the crime scene in Manhattan. Thompson was killed last week by a masked assailant who approached him from behind at approximately 6:45 a.m. Surveillance footage captured the gunman fleeing on foot and then on a bicycle into Central Park. The suspect was last seen boarding a bus at a depot in Upper Manhattan, prompting a multi-state manhunt. The shooting sent shock waves across corporate and healthcare sectors. Thompson, a prominent figure in the industry, was known for his leadership in one of the nation's largest private healthcare providers. Mangione's manifesto reportedly condemns the healthcare industry for prioritizing profit over patient care. Law enforcement sources suggest that Mangione's animosity may stem from personal experiences, as he lost close relatives in 2013 and 2017. During high school, Mangione worked briefly at an assisted-living facility, an experience that might have shaped his perspective. Authorities also found evidence of Mangione's affinity for anti-capitalist causes and environmental activism. His online activity included approving quotes from Ted Kaczynski, the notorious “Unabomber,” as well as philosophical musings from figures like Socrates and Bruce Lee. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, which is in addition to a $10,000 reward from Crime Stoppers and the NYPD. The incident has sparked debates on the safety of corporate executives and the broader implications of resentment toward the healthcare industry. Online reaction to Thompson's murder has been mixed, with some expressing outrage and others highlighting grievances against private healthcare providers. Law enforcement officials are monitoring these discussions as part of their investigation. Mangione's Background A valedictorian of the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore, Mangione graduated in 2016 before pursuing artificial intelligence studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Once described as a promising student in computer and cognitive sciences, Mangione's trajectory took a dark turn as he delved into radical ideologies. While authorities believe the shooter acted alone, they are piecing together the timeline of events leading to Thompson's killing. Mangione's motives and whether he has confessed remain unclear. This developing case underscores the intersection of personal grievances, ideological extremism, and violent action, leaving many in shock and mourning over the loss of a corporate leader. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information to come forward. #UnitedHealthcare #BrianThompson #LuigiMangione #HealthcareMurder #Altoona Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
