She also discusses the recent Bricks & Minifigs private civil settlement involving a vintage Star Wars LEGO collection, noting that corporate claims have been resolved but she is waiting for names to be formally dismissed from the federal docket. Additionally, she covers the unsealing of a grand jury indictment against 14 individuals running a highly profitable cocaine trafficking ring out of two Penn State fraternities that was uncovered through personal Venmo transactions. Finally, she touches on the Alex Murdaugh case, detailing the dismissal of his lawsuit against clerk Becky Hill for lack of standing, a court-approved change of venue for his upcoming retrial, and an apology from defense attorney Dick Harpootlian for making a false statement about an alleged successful polygraph test.

Joe and the guys react to Cam Vaughn no longer being with the Miami Hurricanes just weeks before the season opener. Despite the surprising timing, Joe believes Miami will be fine without Vaughn thanks to the depth and talent in the Hurricanes' wide receiver room. Plus, they discuss how Miami's offensive line will compare to last season's unit, which was one of the best in the country, and why matching that level of production will be a major challenge.
Judge John Judge denied Bryan Kohberger's motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment that charged him with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in the November 2022 killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger's defense had argued that the indictment should be thrown out because prosecutors had presented insufficient evidence to establish probable cause and because the grand jury had allegedly been given improper or misleading instructions about the legal standard it was supposed to apply. The defense also challenged the manner in which evidence had been presented during the secret grand jury proceedings, contending that irregularities in the process undermined the validity of the indictment. Judge rejected those arguments, finding that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the grand jury to determine that probable cause existed and that the proceedings did not contain errors serious enough to justify dismissing the charges.Judge also rejected the defense's contention that Idaho law required prosecutors to establish a higher standard of proof before an indictment could be returned. Kohberger's attorneys had argued that the grand jury should have been instructed under a standard closer to the one necessary to establish that a defendant was more likely than not guilty, rather than simply determining whether probable cause existed. Judge concluded that Idaho precedent did not support the defense's interpretation and that the grand jury had been properly instructed under the applicable law. The ruling represented an important defeat for Kohberger's defense because it preserved the indictment and allowed the prosecution to continue toward trial without having to return to a preliminary hearing or seek a new indictment. Judge's decision also reinforced that challenges to the ultimate strength of the prosecution's evidence were matters to be resolved at trial rather than grounds for eliminating the case at the indictment stage.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond E. Patricco denied Ashley Guillard's motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit brought by University of Idaho professor Rebecca Scofield, rejecting Guillard's attempts to argue that the federal court lacked authority to hear the case. Guillard, who represented herself, contended that the court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction over her, that Idaho was the wrong venue because she lived in Texas and posted her TikTok videos from there, and that the judge had demonstrated bias against her spiritual and psychic beliefs. The court disagreed, finding that Guillard had intentionally directed her accusations toward an Idaho professor and an Idaho-centered murder case and that Scofield alleged she suffered the resulting reputational, professional and emotional harm in Idaho. The judge concluded that those contacts were sufficient for the Idaho federal court to exercise jurisdiction over Guillard and that Idaho was a proper venue for the lawsuit.Patricco also rejected Guillard's argument that the court had improperly judged the validity of her tarot readings or spiritual practices. The judge explained that the case was not about deciding whether psychic abilities or spiritual beliefs were real; it was about whether Guillard had made actionable defamatory statements about Scofield, including accusations that Scofield had been romantically involved with one of the murdered students and had arranged the killings. At the motion-to-dismiss stage, the court was required to accept Scofield's well-pleaded allegations as true and determine whether they stated a legally viable defamation claim, not decide whether Guillard's accusations were ultimately true. Patricco found that Scofield had adequately alleged defamation and ruled that Guillard's disagreements with earlier court decisions did not establish judicial bias or justify throwing out the case. On November 13, 2023, he therefore denied Guillard's motion to set aside the court's prior rulings and denied her motion to dismiss, allowing Scofield's lawsuit to continue.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Bryan Kohberger's defense sought to have the indictment against him dismissed by attacking the grand-jury process that produced the four first-degree murder charges and burglary charge. In one motion, the defense argued that the grand jury had been given the wrong legal standard when it was told that it could indict Kohberger upon finding probable cause. His attorneys contended that Idaho law and its historical development required a much higher standard, essentially arguing that the grand jury should have been instructed to determine whether the evidence established the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense maintained that because the grand jury had operated under the lower probable-cause threshold, the indictment was legally defective and should either be dismissed or the case returned to a preliminary hearing. The court rejected that interpretation, concluding that Idaho law clearly established probable cause as the proper standard for a grand jury deciding whether sufficient evidence existed to send a defendant to trial.Kohberger's attorneys also filed a broader motion attacking what had actually occurred before the grand jury. They alleged that the grand jury had been biased, that prosecutors had presented inadmissible or insufficient evidence, and that the state had committed prosecutorial misconduct by withholding potentially exculpatory information from the jurors. In effect, the defense argued that the indictment could not be trusted because the grand jury had not received a sufficiently fair or legally sound presentation of the case against Kohberger. Judge John Judge ultimately rejected those claims as well, finding that Kohberger had not demonstrated juror bias, prosecutorial misconduct, or an absence of sufficient admissible evidence. The court determined that an impartial grand jury had heard enough evidence to establish probable cause that Kohberger committed the charged crimes, leaving the indictment intact and allowing the prosecution to continue toward trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
President Donald Trump is pushing back against reports that U.S. stockpiles of key munitions have been depleted from months of military operations against Iran. The president said that "we have unlimited, virtually unlimited supply" of weapons. Trump also said defense manufacturers are rapidly expanding production to replenish inventories, and acknowledged that the military is always looking to expand its stockpiles.Senate Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is hoping to go through a number of pressing issues on Friday, in a final sprint before the August recess. Thune is putting up votes on a Russian sanctions bill, funding the government, and confirming Todd Blanche as the U.S. Attorney General. The vote on Blanche has been mired in Republican opposition for weeks. The White House secured votes from a few holdouts, but the path forward is still uncertain.Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is heading to Tennessee's general election for governor after winning the state's GOP primary against fellow Republicans John Rose and Monty Fritts on Thursday. She'll face Democratic nominee Jerri Green in November to succeed Gov. Bill Lee, who is term-limited. In Tennessee's newly redrawn Ninth District, Republican Brent Taylor and Democrat Justin Pearson have advanced to the general election.

FirstBank Puerto Rico has asked a federal judge in New York to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the bank of participating in and profiting from Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. The anonymous plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleged that FirstBank provided Epstein and his associates with banking services for more than two decades, gaining access to financial information that should have exposed his criminal network. The complaint cited more than 4,725 wire transfers involving approximately $1.08 billion between Epstein and several associates, arguing that the bank ignored warning signs while benefiting financially from the relationship.FirstBank denied having any knowledge of Epstein's trafficking activities and argued that the lawsuit failed to identify evidence showing that its employees knowingly assisted or participated in his crimes. The bank characterized its involvement as the provision of routine financial services and said the complaint relied heavily on allegations made against other financial institutions rather than specific misconduct by FirstBank. It also maintained that it cooperated with law enforcement by filing a suspicious activity report and responding to subpoenas, arguing that the case improperly judged its conduct with the benefit of hindsight and should be dismissed with prejudice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Kaitlyn Tiffany notes that by 1966, the media labeled these researchers as "housewives" to dismiss their work, describing them as a "keening pack of speculators." Central to their dissent was the "magic bullet" theory, which claimed a single pristine projectile caused multiple wounds in both JFK and Governor Connally. Dissenters highlighted the bullet's lack of deformation and the FBI's initial reports of a non-exiting back wound. They also investigated the Grassy Knoll for additional shooters. (9)1963

During the segment, a caller named Barbara shared her concern that election scanners could be hacked, referencing Donald Trump's recent speech. She suggested that auditing 10% to 12% of precincts could ensure ballots match. Host Charlie James then discussed a recent poll showing that 32% of registered voters would support a democratic socialist, while only 29% would back a Trump-endorsed candidate and 27% a MAGA supporter. He noted that this growing support for socialism is a dangerous shift in the electorate. He also highlighted efforts in New York City by Zohran Mamdani to challenge private property rights and halt background checks for renters. James warned that voters continue to support these ideas without understanding the failures of past socialist nations.
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/a2-nRldN-jo This Case Brief involves a civil lawsuit filed by Alex Murdaugh against former clerk of court Rebecca Hill, alleging that her jury tampering during his first murder trial violated his constitutional right to a fair trial. Hill has filed a motion to dismiss, asserting that Murdaugh has failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted because he cannot prove her actions caused the $600,000 in legal fees he seeks to recover, while also claiming multiple forms of legal immunity. Murdaugh's response argues that the motion should be denied because nominal and punitive damages are available under federal law for constitutional violations even if actual damages cannot be proven. While Hill contends his requested damages are not redressable or ripe for adjudication, Murdaugh insists Hill's actions rendered the value of his initial defense expenditure worthless, creating a live case and controversy that warrants proceeding to discovery.

On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the recent protest of Jonathan Haidt's commencement address at New York University. Robert and Mick discuss the students' objections, how they missed the actual purpose of Haidt's speech, and why it is flawed to evaluate a message based on our opinion of the messenger, rather than the merits of what they are saying.

The Wall Street Journal asked a federal judge to dismiss Donald Trump's revised defamation lawsuit over its reporting on a sexually suggestive birthday letter allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump sued Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and others after the Journal reported that a 2003 birthday album compiled for Epstein included a letter bearing Trump's name. Trump denies writing it and claims the story was false and defamatory, but a federal judge already dismissed the earlier version of the lawsuit because Trump failed to plausibly show actual malice, the demanding legal standard public figures must meet in defamation cases. Trump then filed an amended complaint, arguing in part that Murdoch had told him he would “handle” the matter before publication, but the Journal says the revised lawsuit still does not fix the legal defects.The Journal's dismissal motion argues that Trump's new complaint mostly repackages claims the court already rejected and still fails to show that the outlet knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The Journal says it accurately reported the existence of the letter, included Trump's denial, and conducted reporting steps before publication, including seeking comment. It also asks the court to dismiss the case with prejudice and seeks legal fees under Florida's anti-SLAPP law, casting the lawsuit as an attempt to punish or intimidate protected journalism. In plain terms, Trump is trying to keep the Epstein-letter defamation case alive after an earlier defeat, while the Journal is telling the court that the amended lawsuit is still legally empty and should now be thrown out for good.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Wall Street Journal Asks Judge To Toss Trump's Revised Lawsuit

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Eleven failures. One detective. One missing SD card. One 19-page order from a judge who chose the most extreme remedy available — full dismissal.Judge Ralph Wilson's ruling in the Aaron Spencer case didn't stop at identifying problems. He catalogued a pattern: no photographs of the dashcam's position in Fosler's truck, no documentation in the incident report, no chain-of-custody record, no evidence log entry for over a year. Detective Robbie McCain pulled the SD card, viewed it on his personal laptop, put it back in the camera, and stored the whole thing in an untaped manila envelope in his office cabinet. Not the evidence room. His office.When the camera reached the AG's forensics unit, the SD card was gone. The state's argument was straightforward: this was negligence, not bad faith. Wilson rejected that outright. He noted that LCSO's own policy required electronic devices to be sent to the AG without manipulation — and that by McCain's own admission, this was the first time the department had ever seized a dashcam during an investigation.Spencer shot and killed Michael Fosler — the man charged with 43 felonies involving Spencer's daughter — after finding the sixty-seven-year-old with his child in the early morning hours. Fosler was out on bond with a no-contact order. Spencer called 911 afterward and has maintained he was defending his daughter.Wilson wrote that the dashcam was the only possible neutral record of what happened, because Spencer cannot be compelled to testify. He called the detective's conduct “so egregious” that dismissal was warranted. The day after the ruling, Sheriff John Staley fired McCain. An outside legal analyst walks through what this ruling says, what it means, and what it reveals about how evidence was handled from the start.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former U.S. Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh Jr. has filed a memorandum in federal court seeking to dismiss, transfer, or strike the lawsuit brought by five anonymous women identified as Jane Does 1-5, who accuse the Virgin Islands government and several current and former officials of enabling Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network. De Jongh argues that the Southern District of New York lacks jurisdiction, asserting he has been a resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands for decades and has no substantial ties to New York that would justify the case being heard there. He also claims he was improperly served at a Manhattan address where he says he does not reside or maintain control, insisting the lawsuit should be dismissed or moved to the Virgin Islands, where the alleged conduct occurred.The memorandum further contends that even if the court finds jurisdiction proper, the claims against De Jongh should still be thrown out because they are barred by prior settlement releases signed by Epstein's victims as part of earlier agreements with his estate. He argues that the complaint fails to allege specific wrongful acts committed by him and maintains that any actions connected to Epstein occurred while he was serving in his official capacity, which he says grants him legal immunity. De Jongh also asks the court to strike portions of the complaint as irrelevant and prejudicial, describing them as inflammatory rather than grounded in fact. The filing adds another layer to the expanding legal fight over what government officials knew— and failed to stop—while Epstein operated in the Virgin Islands.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Docket Alerts: In Jeffrey Epstein news: Ghislaine Maxwell showed up for congressional testimony, but says she's taking the Fifth unless and until she gets a pardon. Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify, averting a vote to refer them to DOJ for contempt of Congress. Paul Weiss managing partner Brad Karp stepped down after his emails to the noted pedophile were published. Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty, but will face trial this summer. Main Show: The Trump administration is trying to magic away Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction with an assist from SCOTUS. It's called a GVR, and it's filthy. The DOJ sued in state court to get Fulton County's 2020 ballots. They sued in federal court. And then they got a criminal warrant and just took them. Now Georgia election officials are suing to get their ballots back. What is going on with that Tulsi Gabbard whistleblower report? The Fifth Circuit greenlights ICE's batcrap insane legal theory that the government must hold immigrants in detention indefinitely without a hearing. Should the challengers petition for en banc review, or go straight to SCOTUS? And for subscribers, we'll break down FCC Chair Brendan Carr's threat to investigate the ladies at The View for daring to interview Texas Senate candidate James Talarico — a known Democrat!
