How Did Diddy Get Away With His Crime? Legal Experts Weigh In DESCRIPTION: In this no-holds-barred interview, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break down one of the most disturbing legal questions in modern celebrity crime: How did Sean “Diddy” Combs manage to escape real legal consequences for decades of alleged abuse, manipulation, and coercion? With a staggering number of allegations spanning decades—and now federal investigations and civil lawsuits mounting—many are wondering how someone so publicly accused has remained so legally insulated. Faddis offers a sobering, expert-backed analysis of how wealth, celebrity, and influence can create an invisible shield around high-profile defendants. We examine the role of NDAs, victim intimidation, PR spin, and the legal gray areas where truth and power collide. This isn't conspiracy—it's the mechanics of a justice system that bends under the weight of money and media manipulation. If you're tired of seeing the rich skate while survivors suffer in silence, this episode delivers real answers from someone who knows exactly how the legal machine works. #Hashtags: #DiddyCase #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #CelebrityJustice #SeanCombs #DiddyLawsuits #JusticeForVictims #TrueCrimePodcast #PowerAndSilence #LegalBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Why Did The State Accept Bryan Kohberger's Plea, Attorney Eric Faddis Explains Bryan Kohberger's surprise guilty plea sent shockwaves through the public, media, and especially the families of his victims. But why did the prosecution accept this plea instead of pushing forward with a high-profile trial, potentially leading to a death penalty verdict? In this crucial episode, Attorney Eric Faddis joins us to unravel exactly why the state chose this path, clarifying the hidden legal strategies behind accepting Kohberger's plea. Faddis breaks down the prosecution's decision-making process step by step, explaining the advantages prosecutors saw in taking the plea—from guaranteed justice and closure to avoiding the trauma of a prolonged and graphic trial. He also examines whether fears of appeal or issues with jury selection could have influenced the state's choice, and how public pressure and resources play into such critical decisions. Drawing from his rich experience as both prosecutor and defense attorney, Eric Faddis outlines the risks prosecutors weigh when facing the possibility of a jury trial, particularly in cases with enormous media attention and emotional investment. Was the plea a pragmatic choice to ensure a life sentence and guaranteed justice, or did the prosecution compromise too much in their pursuit of closure? Listeners will get an insightful look at plea deals, their strategic uses, and how they affect not only justice outcomes but also victim families who might feel denied their day in court. Through clear and concise explanations, Faddis helps us understand this controversial decision from multiple angles, shedding light on the often misunderstood legal realities behind accepting guilty pleas in infamous criminal cases. Join us for an informative, thought-provoking discussion about legal strategies, emotional stakes, and the true meaning of justice when dealing with unimaginable crimes like Kohberger's.

Will Bryan Kohberger Explain The Motive For His Crimes In Court? The nation remains haunted by Bryan Kohberger's chilling murders, but a crucial piece remains unknown: why did he commit these horrific crimes? Attorney Eric Faddis joins us to discuss whether Kohberger is likely to reveal his true motives when he addresses the court, and what his potential explanation could mean for survivors, families, and the public craving answers. With extensive legal experience on both sides of criminal cases, Eric Faddis examines how defendants typically handle the sensitive issue of motive during sentencing hearings, and whether Kohberger's legal team would encourage him to explain himself—or remain silent. Faddis offers listeners a clear view of how a statement of motive could impact Kohberger's sentencing, public perception, and legacy. Could admitting the "why" behind his actions serve any tactical benefit, or is silence his strongest card left to play? Beyond the legal strategies, we dive into the emotional and psychological stakes at play. Faddis discusses what it would mean for the families if Kohberger attempts to justify, rationalize, or explain his motives publicly. We also explore how a lack of motive affects public understanding of such crimes and what legal experts look for in cases like this to help unravel a killer's inner reasoning. As we await Kohberger's possible courtroom statement, Eric Faddis provides crucial legal and psychological insights, unpacking why we, as a society, are obsessed with understanding the minds of murderers. Join us for a powerful exploration into the significance of motive and how one criminal's explanation—or silence—can shape our collective understanding of justice.

Sean Combs' Trial Secrets: Why Some Charges Suddenly Vanished In a shocking courtroom twist during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, prosecutors abruptly dropped critical charges of kidnapping and arson. Why did these serious allegations suddenly vanish from the prosecution's strategy? Was it a carefully planned move to streamline their case or a desperate response to losing key witnesses and evidence? In this detailed video, legal expert Eric Faddis—a defense attorney and former prosecutor experienced in high-profile cases—pulls back the curtain on these surprising trial developments. Eric carefully analyzes the possible motives behind prosecutors narrowing their case mid-trial, discussing how jurors might perceive such sudden shifts. Could dropping these charges cast doubt on the overall credibility of the prosecution's narrative, or does it sharpen their remaining allegations, making it easier for jurors to follow? Furthermore, Eric dives into the broader implications of this strategy, dissecting the complexities of proving charges under federal RICO statutes. With the prosecution now focusing tightly on sex trafficking by coercion and interstate prostitution, Faddis evaluates whether this streamlined approach could actually strengthen their chances or leave jurors questioning the case's validity. Additionally, Eric addresses critical behind-the-scenes considerations, like witness credibility issues, missing testimonies, and the psychological impact of sudden strategic pivots on jury deliberations. Could prosecutors have miscalculated their strategy, ultimately damaging their own case, or was this an unavoidable move due to insufficient evidence? As viewers follow every twist in this intense trial, Eric Faddis offers indispensable insider analysis, clearly explaining why certain charges disappeared and how this could dramatically influence the jury's upcoming decision.

The 45-Person Hit List Inside Boelter's Multi-State Murder Plan Description: Former prosecutor Eric Faddis delivers a chilling legal breakdown of Vance Boelter's 45-person hit list that spanned six states and targeted Democratic officials from local representatives to governors. This comprehensive analysis reveals how Boelter's kill list transforms a double murder into potential domestic terrorism charges with federal death penalty implications. Faddis examines the legal ramifications of a target list that included Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Senator Tina Smith, Representative Ilhan Omar, and dozens of other officials across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. The expert discussion covers how prosecutors will use this extensive hit list to prove premeditation, establish federal jurisdiction, and potentially seek the death penalty in a state that abolished capital punishment.

 Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich The federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs exposes unsettling details about power, privilege, and alleged criminal behavior at the pinnacle of fame. But a pivotal question lingers: Was Diddy truly a criminal mastermind, deliberately orchestrating a sophisticated sex trafficking and racketeering enterprise, or was he merely a reckless celebrity whose lavish lifestyle spiraled dangerously out of control? In this comprehensive analysis, expert attorney Eric Faddis, a seasoned legal professional with experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, dives into the nuances separating deliberate criminality from reckless excess. Eric walks us through precisely how prosecutors are using the RICO statute—typically reserved for mob bosses and organized crime—to paint Combs as a calculated, sinister figure running a criminal enterprise. Yet, the evidence is not without ambiguity. Eric closely examines testimony and evidence from Combs' trial, highlighting areas of potential weakness for the prosecution, including dropped charges and the critical absence of identified co-conspirators. Could the jury interpret these gaps as proof of a weaker-than-expected case? Faddis unpacks how jurors might distinguish clear criminal intent from reckless indulgence and personal dysfunction. Moreover, Eric explores how the graphic nature of certain evidence might emotionally influence jurors, potentially clouding their interpretation of complex legal standards. He analyzes precisely why proving intent and coordination under RICO law is particularly challenging, discussing whether the prosecution might have stretched their narrative too far. Watch this in-depth discussion for a clear, insightful breakdown of the strategies, strengths, and vulnerabilities in this high-profile case. Is Diddy a calculated criminal leader or simply an irresponsible, wealthy man whose questionable behavior went unchecked for too long? Eric Faddis provides essential context and clarity ahead of the jury's pivotal decision.

The 45-Person Hit List Inside Boelter's Multi-State Murder Plan Description: Former prosecutor Eric Faddis delivers a chilling legal breakdown of Vance Boelter's 45-person hit list that spanned six states and targeted Democratic officials from local representatives to governors. This comprehensive analysis reveals how Boelter's kill list transforms a double murder into potential domestic terrorism charges with federal death penalty implications. Faddis examines the legal ramifications of a target list that included Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Senator Tina Smith, Representative Ilhan Omar, and dozens of other officials across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. The expert discussion covers how prosecutors will use this extensive hit list to prove premeditation, establish federal jurisdiction, and potentially seek the death penalty in a state that abolished capital punishment. Faddis explains why the multi-state nature of the plot invokes federal terrorism statutes and how the list's existence obliterates any possible mental health defense. The conversation also explores the terrifying security implications: if one person can compile such a comprehensive target list, how many others are doing the same?

The Board Member Who Planned Their Murder Boelter's 7-Year Deception Description: Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis provides explosive legal analysis of how Vance Boelter weaponized his position on Minnesota's Workforce Development Board to plan the murder of fellow board member Senator John Hoffman. This expert examination reveals the calculated nature of Boelter's seven-year deception and what it means for prosecuting premeditated political violence. Faddis breaks down how this prolonged professional relationship destroys any potential insanity defense and demonstrates a level of premeditation rarely seen in political violence cases. The conversation explores the legal implications of Boelter's dual life: respected board member by day, political assassin by night. Faddis explains how prosecutors will use the seven-year timeline to prove deliberation, while examining potential defense strategies in a case with overwhelming evidence. The analysis includes discussion of how Boelter's security company, Praetorian Guard Security Services, telegraphed his intentions through its reference to Roman imperial assassins. Most disturbing is Faddis's warning about precedent: if someone can serve alongside their victim for seven years while planning murder, what does this mean for trust in democratic institutions? This essential legal perspective examines how political extremism can corrupt professional relationships and why the Boelter case represents a new evolution in domestic terrorism.

Big Breakdown: Karen Read on Trial: Psychologist, FBI & Defense Attorney Tear It All Down In this explosive episode of the Hidden Killers Podcast, host Tony Brueski is joined by a powerful expert panel to break down the psychological and legal layers of the Karen Read trial. Featuring licensed psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, and former prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis, this deep-dive explores what may really be going on behind Karen Read's statements, courtroom behavior, and post-incident interviews. This isn't just speculation. Shavaun Scott brings clinical insight into traits of narcissistic rage and borderline personality disorder, helping us understand how fear of abandonment, emotional volatility, and ego protection could explain some of Karen Read's erratic and contradictory reactions—especially after the death of John O'Keefe. Meanwhile, Dreeke and Faddis unpack how Read's public statements, contradictions, and refusal to accept accountability fit classic behavioral profiles. They also explore how her post-crash interviews and courtroom demeanor may reflect self-preservation above grief—often viewed by jurors as cold detachment. From the infamous “Did I hit him?” quote to her public targeting of alleged conspirators, the experts explain why her shifting narratives and finger-pointing may backfire legally—and signal deeper psychological distress. Is she collapsing under guilt, or masterfully manipulating perception? You decide. This video also unpacks the dwindling FKR movement, the cult-like behavior of Karen's die-hard supporters, and how social media has shaped the courtroom's atmosphere. Whether you believe Karen Read is guilty or not, this is the psychological and legal breakdown you don't want to miss. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #PsychologicalAnalysis #TrueCrimeExperts #HiddenKillers #NarcissisticRage #TrialBreakdown #FBIBehaviorAnalysis #KarenReadTrial #ForensicPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read Had Time To Try And Save John O'Keefe, Former Prosecutor Eric Faddis Weighs In John O'Keefe didn't die instantly. That's the key takeaway from neurosurgeon Dr. Aizik Wolf's testimony—and it could have seismic consequences for Karen Read's defense. In this premiere breakdown from Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor, to explore what it means when a medical expert tells the jury there was a window of time—a chance to act, to save a life, to call for help. If Karen Read was responsible for hitting O'Keefe, then her decision to leave the scene could represent not just moral failure, but criminal negligence. Was it second-degree murder—or fatal inaction?

Five Legal Time Bombs in the Kohberger Case That Could Explode at Trial Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us for a deep dive into the legal chess match unfolding in the Bryan Kohberger case. As Kohberger faces capital murder charges for the killings of four University of Idaho students, his defense team has filed a motion to delay the trial, citing constitutional violations and incomplete forensic and psychological investigations. But as Faddis explains, there's much more going on beneath the surface. This isn't just about trial prep—it's about preserving appellate leverage. The motion to continue includes references to landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama, invoking the concept of “heightened reliability” required in death penalty proceedings. Kohberger's attorneys argue they need more time to complete a full “life history” mitigation investigation—one that includes trauma, mental health evaluations, and multi-generational background records. According to Faddis, these steps are standard in capital cases, but failing to do them thoroughly could open the door to a future reversal on appeal. We also unpack how the defense is weaponizing media coverage, including the recent Dateline NBC special and James Patterson's upcoming book, to argue that Kohberger cannot receive a fair trial under current conditions. Faddis provides expert commentary on whether this pretrial publicity genuinely threatens the jury pool—or if it's a calculated move to frame a potential mistrial argument before trial even begins. Is this defense strategy brilliant or overplayed? What forensic evidence still hasn't been fully vetted? And how is this shaping up to be one of the most complicated capital trials in recent memory? Faddis brings clarity to a case that's anything but clear. #BryanKohberger #EricFaddis #KohbergerTrial #TrueCrimeAnalysis #DeathPenaltyDefense #ForensicLaw #IdahoMurders #KohbergerEvidence #CapitalTrial #CriminalJusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How the Karen Read Defense Breaks Reality Eric Faddis Breaks It Down  In this episode, we're joined by criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to examine the jaw-dropping gap between the Karen Read defense theory and the actual evidence presented in court. With bizarre claims involving a house full of cops allegedly staging a murder, a body moved under a flagpole, and a silent German Shepherd turned prime suspect, we ask: does any of this hold up under real legal scrutiny? Eric brings his courtroom experience to unpack what prosecutors look for when evaluating “consciousness of guilt,” and why Karen Read's own words — including “Did I hit him?” and “I hit him” — may be more damaging than anything forensic. We explore the staggering leap the defense theory asks jurors to make: believing a wide-scale conspiracy involving police, neighbors, and friends, with no one slipping, confessing, or even sending a regretful text. This is where reality checks come in. We talk about Occam's Razor, jury psychology, and how emotional reactions can backfire when a defendant is in the spotlight. Faddis takes us through what makes a case prosecutable — and what jurors look for when the facts start making more sense than the fiction. If you've been trying to understand whether the defense strategy is brilliant, desperate, or just plain implausible, this conversation lays it all out. And if you think Karen's own statements don't matter, think again. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #EricFaddis #KarenReadCase #ConsciousnessOfGuilt #MurderTrial #ForensicAnalysis #FlagpoleTheory #LegalBreakdown #HiddenKillersPodcastWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Karen Read's Defense: Does It Even Make Sense? A Prosecutor's Take   Sometimes courtroom defense strategies get creative — but in the Karen Read trial, the theory has gone from bold to borderline science fiction. In this episode, we sit down with former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect whether the defense's story holds any weight when measured against real-world logic and legal standards. We discuss how the defense narrative — that multiple partygoers, including cops, staged a murder and planted John O'Keefe's body in the snow — collides with the forensic timeline, digital data, and Read's own statements. Why would Karen ask, “Did I hit him?” before the body was found? Why point out her broken taillight if she had no reason to suspect involvement? Faddis explains how prosecutors use moments like these to argue “consciousness of guilt” and how juries often see right through overcomplicated defense theories. This conversation cuts through the courtroom drama and gets to the legal core: does this theory even pass the smell test?

Karen Read's Defense: Does It Even Make Sense? A Prosecutor's Take   Sometimes courtroom defense strategies get creative — but in the Karen Read trial, the theory has gone from bold to borderline science fiction. In this episode, we sit down with former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect whether the defense's story holds any weight when measured against real-world logic and legal standards. We discuss how the defense narrative — that multiple partygoers, including cops, staged a murder and planted John O'Keefe's body in the snow — collides with the forensic timeline, digital data, and Read's own statements.

The Wildest Defense in a Murder Trial: Eric Faddis on the Karen Read Case Could a group of off-duty cops, neighbors, and friends really stage a murder, move a body, cover it up, and keep it quiet for over two years — all without a single witness flipping? That's the theory the defense is offering in the Karen Read trial. In this episode, former prosecutor and legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to break down just how wild the claims have gotten — and whether any of it holds up under actual courtroom scrutiny. From the “murder-by-dog” suggestion to the infamous flagpole location and the now-infamous 2:27 a.m. Google search, we're diving into the tangled web of what the defense wants the jury to believe. Faddis gives a prosecutor's perspective on how far a theory can go before it collapses under its own weight. He explores what a jury actually responds to: consistency, logic, and real-world behavior. And in this case? That may be the biggest challenge for the defense yet. If you've been following this case and thinking, “Wait — does any of this make sense?” — this is the episode for you.

Four New Ways The Walls Are Closing In On Bryan Kohberger, With Attorney Eric Faddis Could a PhD in Criminology Actually Teach You How to Get Away with Murder? When your Amazon history includes a combat knife, a face mask, and a sheath—months before a quadruple homicide—you're either preparing for the world's most intense cosplay... or something a lot more sinister. In this episode, Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis dissect the increasingly bizarre puzzle that is the Bryan Kohberger case. From mysteriously missing phone data to swapped license plates and 4 a.m. trash runs in gloves, prosecutors allege Kohberger wasn't just committing murder—he was trying to commit the perfect one. But how perfect can it be when your alibi is "I was looking at the stars" on a night that was completely overcast? Faddis breaks down how the defense might spin Kohberger's criminology background, the infamous “how-did-you-feel-while-committing-a-crime” Reddit questions, and even the alleged attempt at a rap career (because why not add that to the mix?). With surveillance footage, forensic detail, and odd behavior stacking up, the real question becomes: Is this a case of calculated evil or just a whole bunch of really terrible coincidences? Can an autism defense neutralize the weird—or just make it weirder? #BryanKohberger #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminologyStudent #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #AutismDefense #IdahoMurders Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
