Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Both sides of the Alex Murdaugh retrial are building something the public hasn't fully seen yet. The defense went on national television and started tipping its hand — a claimed strategy for the kennel video, untested DNA under Maggie's fingernails, new forensic cell phone experts, a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill with tools the criminal case doesn't offer. The prosecution is facing a case that just lost its most powerful storytelling weapon after the Supreme Court called the financial crimes presentation excessive.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta has spent his career on the defense side of cases like this. He sees angles in what both sides are signaling that casual observers miss. In this three-part interview, he breaks down the defense playbook, the prosecution's constraints, and what the Hill lawsuit might actually reveal — including whether Hill was the only person who influenced the jury.No weapon. No confession. No DNA. A death penalty now on the table. A defense team with eight thousand pages of locked testimony to use as an impeachment weapon. And a prosecution that has to win without the narrative that made the first conviction feel inevitable. Bob Motta on all of it.

The retrial of Alex Murdaugh for the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh is being shaped right now — in press conferences, in federal court filings, and in strategy signals neither side would normally make public. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta reads all of it through a lens most commentators don't have.On the defense side: a stated plan for the kennel video, unknown male DNA under Maggie's fingernails that was never submitted to CODIS, new forensic cell phone experts, eight thousand pages of locked testimony from the first trial, and a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill that opens up sworn interviews the criminal case never allowed. The defense is asking whether Hill acted alone — and building the tools to find out.On the prosecution side: the Supreme Court gutted the financial crimes presentation that made the first conviction feel like a formality. Creighton Waters has to prove motive efficiently and win a circumstantial case without the emotional narrative doing the heavy lifting. No weapon. No confession. No DNA. The death penalty is on the table for the first time. And if Alex takes the stand again, prosecutors can use everything he said the first time against him. Bob Motta on the full picture.

In breaking news, the Trump Administration, its DOJ and its Homeland Security Department have moved one step closer to the possibility of being found in Criminal Contempt and someone going to jail, as the US Court of Appeals/DC has agreed to the urging of 174 Former Judges, and have tossed a prior opinion by a Trump dominated panel to block the trial judge's criminal contempt proceedings and investigation, and will hear the case by all 11 judges of the Court instead. Popok explains how this case started and the implications of the En Banc ruling up to the US Supreme Court. Americans United will keep fighting for freedom without favor - equality without exception.

The US Supreme Court just ruled in favor of a criminal defendant in a case that was rather interesting. It presented a simple question: Are prosecutors allowed to force you to sign away your right to appeal, and then slap you with a—potentially—unconstitutional punishment?Basically, can plea deals be formulated such that you get hit with an unconstitutional penalty, but then you also can't appeal that penalty?And the answer is: No. They cannot. Although, as always with these Supreme Court rulings, there is a lot of nuance, so let's go through the details together.

If Congress alone can declare war why do presidents keep doing it anyway? Napolitano breaks down the legal reality, while Celente calls out what they see as a total breakdown: constitutional indifference, endless wars, and runaway federal power.

There's a reason the defense filed this lawsuit in federal court instead of state court. Federal rules let them run their own investigation in a way the murder case never allowed. They can force sworn interviews. They can demand documents that haven't been made available through the criminal process. And they can pull in anyone connected to the Colleton County courthouse during the first trial — not just Becky Hill.Hill already pleaded guilty criminally. That established what she did. This lawsuit is about finding out what everybody else knew. If Hill gets put under oath in the federal case and refuses to answer certain questions, that creates its own set of problems. If she answers and names other people, the defense has a story to tell the second jury that's bigger than one clerk gone rogue.The defense also has to decide how far to push this before the retrial starts. If the lawsuit settles, the sworn interviews and document demands go away. That means the defense loses the only tool it has for finding out whether Hill acted alone. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta on whether the information is worth more than the settlement.

Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin are doing something unusual for a defense team heading into a retrial — they're telling everyone what they plan to do. Harpootlian said on national television that his team has a strategy for the kennel video, the single most damaging piece of evidence from the first trial. That video placed Alex's voice at the Moselle kennels minutes before Maggie and Paul were killed. It forced Alex to admit he lied about his whereabouts. The first jury heard it and convicted in under three hours.Griffin went further. He pointed to unknown male DNA recovered from under Maggie's fingernails that was never run through CODIS. He confirmed the defense is bringing in new forensic cell phone experts to challenge the timeline. He laid out why a venue change might not work — Colleton County's demographics don't match the larger urban counties. And he described eight thousand pages of sworn testimony from the first trial as a roadmap for catching prosecution witnesses in inconsistencies.The defense also filed a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill that carries discovery tools the murder case doesn't provide. They're not just preparing for trial — they're running a parallel investigation. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta on whether any of it actually shifts the outcome.

Alex Murdaugh's defense attorney went on national television and did something defense lawyers almost never do — he told the public his team has a plan for the prosecution's strongest evidence. The kennel video captured Alex's voice at the Moselle property minutes before the murders. It destroyed his alibi. It forced him to admit he lied under oath. And now Harpootlian says the defense is ready for it.That's not the only weapon the defense is loading. New forensic cell phone experts are being brought in to challenge the prosecution's timeline. Jim Griffin confirmed that unknown male DNA was recovered from under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and never run through CODIS. And the defense is sitting on eight thousand pages of sworn testimony from the first trial — every prosecution witness locked into a story from three years ago.Griffin also said Richland County and Charleston likely wouldn't qualify for a venue change because they don't match Colleton County's demographics. So the defense may be stuck trying this case in the same region where the first trial became a national spectacle. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta breaks it all down.

On this episode of This Can't Be Real with Brad, Brad dives into three stories that somehow prove common sense is officially on life support. First, a gender reveal party turns into a full-blown wildfire after a couple uses pyrotechnics to announce their baby, leading to firefighters, helicopters, and enough chaos to make Spencer Pratt furious. Then things get even stranger when a man loses his emotional support alligator inside a hotel, forcing confused guests and terrified employees into the most stressful continental breakfast experience imaginable.And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal mastermind who steals a bicycle… only to list it on Facebook Marketplace and accidentally try selling it back to the original owner.Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about modern gender reveals, Holiday Inn survival tactics, emotional support animals getting completely out of hand, and why criminals should probably stop using Facebook Marketplace like it's Shark Tank. It's another episode full of unbelievable real stories, savage commentary, and the kind of chaos that makes you nervous to leave your house.

What should happen to drivers who kill or injure someone with their car? Does a focus on punishment for "reckless" or "dangerous" drivers let everyone else off the hook and never force them to look at the larger harms of a transportation system based around personal car ownership? Those are the questions asked by Ian Loader, a professor of criminology at the University of Oxford, who argues that the law's focus on "motonormative punishment" is just another way of masking the larger problems caused by a car-dominant society. In a new study, Professor Loader proposes a vastly different way of thinking about criminal punishment organized around five harm reduction principles. Plus, is it really wrong for news outlets to write headlines like "Pedestrian Hit By Car," or is there more to it than advocates are willing to admit? ***Join The War on Cars on Patreon and listen to exclusive ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** SHOW NOTES: Read Professor Ian Loader's study, "Beyond Motonormative Punishment: On Road Safety as Environmental Regulation."

The prosecution's case for how five-year-old Harmony Montgomery died on December 7, 2019, depended almost entirely on the testimony of Kayla Montgomery — Adam Montgomery's estranged wife. Kayla served a sentence for lying to investigators about Harmony's whereabouts before she agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. The corroborating evidence — DNA in a ceiling vent, a co-worker's testimony about a restaurant freezer, a friend who witnessed Adam pacing and repeating that he had made a mistake — supported Kayla's account of what happened after Harmony's death. It did not corroborate her testimony about how the child died.The New Hampshire Supreme Court identified this evidentiary disparity as the foundation for its unanimous reversal of the murder conviction. The July 2019 second-degree assault charge, tried alongside the murder, was supported by three independent witnesses who observed documented injuries. The court concluded that trying both charges together created a significant risk the jury relied on the strength of the assault evidence to bridge the gap in the murder case. The trial court's denial of the defense's severance motion was determined to be an unsustainable exercise of discretion.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta provides analysis of the ruling's legal mechanics, the practical meaning of prejudicial joinder, the unusual procedural posture in which the defense argued both for and against severance at different stages, and the trial court's obligation to independently evaluate the risk of unfair prejudice. Montgomery's convictions for second-degree assault, falsifying physical evidence, witness tampering, and desecrating remains were affirmed. He carries a separate thirty-two-and-a-half-year firearms sentence. Prosecutors have announced their intention to retry the murder charge. Harmony Montgomery's remains have not been recovered.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The conviction that was supposed to name what happened to five-year-old Harmony Montgomery has been erased. The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled unanimously that trying the December 2019 killing alongside a July 2019 assault in a single proceeding was unfair to Adam Montgomery. The strong assault evidence — multiple witnesses, documented injuries — contaminated the jury's evaluation of the weaker murder case, which rested almost entirely on one witness: Kayla Montgomery, Adam's estranged wife, who served time for lying to investigators before she agreed to testify.The defense argued that Kayla was responsible for Harmony's death and that Adam only covered it up. That theory never got a fair hearing because the jury had already seen overwhelming proof of a separate assault. The court found the disparity in evidence strength created a significant risk the jury relied on the wrong charge to convict on the right one. The trial judge denied the defense's motion to separate the counts. Five justices said that was an error.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta examines the mechanics of this reversal — what prejudicial joinder actually looks like in a courtroom, how the defense ended up arguing both sides of the severance question, and whether the trial judge should have caught the problem before it destroyed the conviction. Montgomery still faces decades in prison on the surviving charges plus a thirty-two-and-a-half-year firearms sentence. Prosecutors have announced plans to retry the murder charge. But Harmony's remains have never been recovered. Adam Montgomery still will not say where he put his daughter.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense asked the trial judge to separate the charges. The judge said no. Five New Hampshire Supreme Court justices — unanimously — said that decision denied Adam Montgomery a fair trial and reversed the second-degree murder conviction in the killing of his five-year-old daughter Harmony.The problem was the evidence gap between the two charges. The July 2019 assault had multiple witnesses, documented injuries, and no dispute. The December 2019 murder rested on Kayla Montgomery — Adam's estranged wife, who went to prison for lying to investigators before agreeing to testify for the prosecution. The court found the rock-solid assault evidence bled into the weaker murder case and gave the jury a bridge it should never have had. The defense theory — that Kayla killed Harmony and Adam only covered it up — was drowned out by proof of a separate violent act the jury was never supposed to weigh against the murder charge.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta walks through the ruling with the precision of someone who has tried these cases. He explains what “prejudicial joinder” means when it's not a legal abstraction but a real courtroom dynamic that tips a verdict. He addresses whether the trial judge should have recognized the risk, why the defense ended up arguing both sides of the severance issue, and what the public gets wrong when they hear “conviction overturned.” Adam Montgomery is not getting out — he still faces decades on surviving convictions plus a thirty-two-and-a-half-year firearms sentence. Prosecutors plan to retry the murder charge. Harmony's remains have never been found.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Six years after the police reform movement reshaped the national conversation, we're finally far enough away from the slogans to ask a simple question:What happened after?Across America, experienced officers retired, recruiting collapsed, detective units shrank, community policing disappeared, and taxpayers were left paying billions in settlements.Meanwhile, federal agents are now conducting major operations in places like Los Angeles' MacArthur Park while local departments struggle to retain experienced personnel.Tonight we're not arguing.We're auditing.Topics include:• MacArthur Park federal raids• LAPD and the Jameson shooting• The police experience gap• Criminal cases falling apart• Convictions being overturned• Taxpayer-funded settlements• Community policing• The hidden cost of losing institutional knowledge

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness moves through four shades of the unexplained in this episode: the unseen voices and strangers that talk people out of crimes and catastrophes, the demon that lived under two sisters' bed in Texas, the 1928 witch-killing that gave a Pennsylvania hollow its name, and the still-contested death of Marilyn Monroe.It opens with a run of first-person accounts pulled from Reddit, each describing the moment something unseen stepped in to stop a crime or a catastrophe. A burglar hiding in the closet of an elderly woman's house watches a ghostly old man pat a departing paramedic on the back, then feels breath on the neck and a voice ordering the intruder out. Middle-schoolers creeping through their darkened school are warned off by a voice none of them claims, and they avoid a library that proved to be wired with a silent alarm and motion detectors. In California, a fourteen-year-old abandons a car-theft job a mile from the pickup, spooked by a rising sense of dread, and later learns the vehicle was bait in a police sting that swept up everyone else sent after it. A pickpocket lifts a wallet clean off a stranger, only for the man — blind, sunglasses raised — to calmly ask for it back. Threaded among them are a blown tire that derails a despairing teenager's suicide plan, church doors that lock the instant two thieves reach for them, and a Hobby Lobby shopper whose five stolen pieces of balsa wood seem to trail straight to a table saw and a flesh-eating MRSA infection.From there the episode turns to a listener named Atreada, who shared a room and a bed with her older sister in SunRay, Texas. For a week the bed shook hard enough to slam against the wall and wake the whole house, blamed each night on two children supposedly roughhousing. On the fourth night a hand rose from the gap between bed and wall as an evil laugh filled the room, and on the last night the sisters aimed a flashlight and saw the thing climb out and bolt — an old man in rags, barefoot, with glowing eyes, talon-like fingers, broken teeth, ears jutting at odd angles, and thin transparent strands hanging from an otherwise bald, corpse-like head.Next comes the true story behind Spring Valley County Park in York County, Pennsylvania, a place once called Hex Hollow. In 1928 a Powwow folk-magic practitioner named John Blymire became convinced he was cursed, and a witch called Nellie Noll — the Marietta River Witch — named Nelson Rehmeyer as the source. To break the hex, Blymire needed a lock of Rehmeyer's hair and his copy of The Long Lost Friend, an 1820 spellbook by John George Hohman. On November 26, 1928, Blymire and two accomplices, John Curry and Wilbert Hess, beat Rehmeyer to death in his home and tried to burn it down; the house refused to burn, which locals took as proof of his power. Blymire and Curry drew life sentences and Hess ten to twenty years, and the surviving hex house opened as a museum in 2007 — its story helping to inspire horror novelist Brian Keene and Shane Free's 2015 documentary on the killing.The episode closes with the death of Marilyn Monroe, found nude and lifeless in her Brentwood home in the early hours of August 5, 1962, a telephone in her hand and empty pill bottles on the nightstand. The official verdict was probable suicide by barbiturate overdose, but Sergeant Jack Clemmons, the first officer on the scene, found no glass or water for swallowing some sixty pills, no vomit, and housekeeper Eunice Murray running laundry while the body lay cooling. Thomas Noguchi's autopsy turned up lethal levels of Nembutal and chloral hydrate in her blood and liver, yet not a trace in her stomach. Witnesses placed Attorney General Robert Kennedy at the house that day and again near 10 p.m., tied to rumors of a red diary detailing her affairs with Robert and President John F. Kennedy and referencing a plot against Castro. A competing account, advanced years later by a Court TV investigation, holds that her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson gave her a chloral hydrate enema to wean her off Nembutal, unaware that her internist Hyman Engelberg was still prescribing it, and that the fatal drug interaction — not the Kennedys, and not her own hand — is what killed her.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Natalie Shirilla told her daughter on a monitored prison call that rehabilitation programs are for “actual criminals.” Her daughter was convicted of driving a hundred miles an hour into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, killing Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. The Ohio Supreme Court has declined to hear the appeal. And the family is still operating as though this was a misunderstanding.Investigators didn't need Mackenzie Shirilla to talk. Her vehicle's data recorder captured accelerator at full capacity, zero braking, and a direct line into a commercial building. Weeks before the crash, a family friend reported hearing Shirilla threaten to wreck her car with Russo inside. She had driven to the same dead-end road days earlier. Prosecutors introduced decoded monitored calls in which Shirilla and her mother communicated using a fabricated language designed to evade the prison recording system — including, according to the prosecution, a discussion about telling police Shirilla had experienced a seizure.Inside the Ohio Reformatory for Women, Shirilla has accumulated thirty-six conduct violations and been found guilty on thirty-two. Fellow inmates describe her treating the facility like a social hierarchy — no indication of remorse, no engagement with programming. Her father Steve appeared on a Netflix documentary defending her, acknowledged on camera he had no objection to her substance use while employed at a Catholic school, and subsequently lost his teaching position. Natalie Shirilla has referred to the Russo family as “evil” on a recorded line. She has encouraged Mackenzie to write a book. The prison calls obtained after the Netflix documentary aired reveal a family locked into a version of events that the court record directly contradicts.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Technology is supposed to make life easier. But at what point does convenience become a cry for help?On today's episode, the gang discovers a self-driving smart toilet from China that can literally roll to your bedside in the middle of the night. That's right. You press a button, a toilet navigates around your bedroom obstacles, waits patiently for you to do your business, cleans you with a built-in bidet, dries you with warm air, then drives itself back to its docking station to clean and flush itself.Naturally, everyone reacts in the most reasonable way possible… by immediately debating whether they need one.Riz thinks the future has arrived. Lern believes able-bodied people should simply walk to the bathroom. Moon immediately starts designing custom off-road wheels and imagining a version that tucks him back into bed afterward. Before long, the conversation spirals into robot dog-poop collectors, camping applications, and whether society has officially crossed a line from innovation into complete absurdity.This daily comedy episode somehow manages to turn advanced mobility technology into one of the dumbest and funniest arguments imaginable. If you've ever wondered what would happen if a Roomba and a toilet had a very expensive baby, this daily comedy adventure is here for you.It's weird news, sarcastic debates, and exactly the kind of unfiltered nonsense you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show. The crew tackles bizarre inventions, questions humanity's priorities, and spends an alarming amount of time discussing butt dryers and portable bathrooms.Come for the futuristic robot toilet. Stay for the increasingly ridiculous ideas that somehow make less and less sense every minute. This daily comedy episode proves once again that no topic is too strange once the gang gets hold of it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
