Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong A long-awaited breakthrough in the 14-year battle for justice in Ellen Greenberg's death arrived in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday, as her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, reached a settlement with the city that will result in an expedited review of their daughter's controversial suicide ruling. The Greenbergs, who have fought tirelessly to prove their daughter was murdered, agreed to drop lawsuits against former Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner Sam Gulino and Homicide Det. John McNamee. Their lawsuit alleged that the officials conspired to cover up evidence that Ellen was the victim of homicide. The settlement also halts a separate case that was scheduled for arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in early 2025. “This is a step forward to bring in the people to justice who are responsible for this homicide,” said Joe Podraza, the family's attorney. “We'd like to find out who the murderer or murderers of Ellen are.” The City of Philadelphia will pay an undisclosed sum to the Greenbergs in July, but monetary compensation was never the goal for Joshua Greenberg. “There is nobody in the world who can say Ellen committed suicide, and that's the most important thing,” he said. “I don't care about the money. I wanted Ellen's suicide taken care of.” His confidence comes from a key development: a sworn admission from former Philadelphia pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the man who initially performed Ellen's autopsy. Osbourne originally ruled Ellen's death a homicide before changing it to suicide after discussions with Philadelphia homicide detectives and medical examiners. Now, he admits he was wrong. A Stunning Reversal in Ellen's Case In a legal document signed Saturday, Osbourne outlined the evidence that led him to reconsider his stance. His reversal confirms what the Greenbergs' independent investigation has long suggested—that Ellen Greenberg was murdered. The Greenbergs' private investigator, retired Pennsylvania State Police Detective Tom Brennan, uncovered major inconsistencies in the case, including: New witness statements disputing whether Ellen's fiancé, Sam Goldberg, actually forced entry into their apartment. Evidence suggesting Ellen's body was moved after she died, contradicting the crime scene's initial assessment. A neuropathological evaluation confirming no hemorrhaging in a critical knife wound to Ellen's spinal cord, indicating she was already dead when the wound was inflicted. Despite these findings, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has not yet committed to changing Ellen's cause of death. Instead, they've agreed to conduct a new review—one the Greenbergs hope will officially overturn the suicide ruling A Flawed Investigation From the Start From the moment Ellen was found stabbed to death in her apartment on January 26, 2011, her case has been plagued with investigative failures. Ellen's fiancé, Sam Goldberg, claimed he returned from the gym to find their apartment door locked from the inside. After allegedly forcing entry, he said he discovered Ellen slumped against the kitchen cabinets, with a knife still lodged in her chest. During his 911 call, Goldberg repeatedly insisted that Ellen had “stabbed herself.” Philadelphia police and the medical examiner's office quickly accepted that explanation, ruling her death a suicide despite the glaring improbability of someone stabbing themselves 20 times—including wounds to the back of the head and neck. Perhaps the most egregious failure came when detectives left the crime scene unsecured. The next day, the apartment was professionally cleaned before a proper forensic investigation could take place. This error effectively destroyed potential evidence that could have pointed to a killer. “These are mistakes that should never happen in a homicide investigation,” Brennan said. “There is no statute of limitations on murder. We will keep fighting.” With the lawsuit settled, the Greenbergs' attorneys are now pushing for outside law enforcement agencies—such as the FBI or the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office—to take over the case. Podraza made it clear that Philadelphia police would not be part of any future investigation. “Frankly, from our vantage point, they were not very cooperative,” he said. “The question will be how receptive other law enforcement agencies will be to pursuing this.” While a wrongful death lawsuit remains a possibility, Podraza said the family will wait to see if a criminal investigation moves forward before making any decisions. For Ellen's mother, Sandee, the settlement marks the end of years of sleepless nights and heartbreak, but not the end of their pursuit for justice. “I hope today we made Ellen proud of us because we certainly were very proud of her,” she said. As for Brennan, who has spent years uncovering the truth behind Ellen's death, he remains hopeful that her killer will one day be brought to justice. “You know, we have all the time in the world,” he said. “There is no statute of limitations on homicide.

Signs Of A Cover-Up or Incompetence, Breaking Down The Ellen Greenberg Case With Ret. Agent FBI Coffindaffer Was Ellen Greenberg the victim of a tragic suicide, or is there something much darker at play? For 14 years, her parents have fought tooth and nail against a narrative that never quite added up. Now, in a shocking twist, a medical examiner has walked back their ruling—again. First, it was a homicide. Then, a suicide. Now? "Unknown, but not suicide." That's not exactly comforting, is it? And just when you think this case couldn't get messier, let's talk about the security guard, a locked-door mystery, and a fiancé with some very convenient connections. Oh, and did we mention that a crime scene cleanup crew was called in before law enforcement even got a proper warrant? Because that totally makes sense… if you're trying to erase something. Meanwhile, Ellen's digital devices mysteriously vanished into the hands of a prominent judge—who just so happens to be her fiancé's uncle. Coincidence? The Greenbergs don't think so, and honestly, neither do we.

Major Breakthrough in Ellen Greenberg Case as Medical Examiner Reverses Stance Yet Again

The case of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher who was found dead with 20 stab wounds in 2011, has taken a significant turn as the medical examiner who ruled her death a suicide now admits it should be classified as "something other than suicide." For 14 years, Greenberg's parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought to overturn the controversial ruling, arguing that the forensic evidence points to homicide. The latest revelation comes just days before a civil trial in which they are suing Philadelphia city officials for allegedly mishandling the case and covering up what they believe to be their daughter's murder. Ellen was just 27 when she was found inside her Manayunk apartment on January 26, 2011, with multiple stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her head and neck. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, reported finding her after he returned home and forced open the locked apartment door. Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled the death a homicide based on the severity and number of wounds. However, police pushed back on this determination, and without public explanation, Osbourne reversed his ruling to suicide. Now, in a sworn court filing, Osbourne has backtracked, stating, “It is my professional opinion Ellen's manner of death should be designated as something other than suicide.” He cited new information, including questions about whether her fiancé was seen entering the apartment before calling 911, whether the door was truly forced open, and whether Ellen's body had been moved before authorities arrived. While Ellen's fiancé has never been accused of wrongdoing by law enforcement, her parents remain convinced the case was mishandled. Their attorney, Joe Podraza, sees Osbourne's admission as a major breakthrough. “To us, it means that we've accomplished our role that Ellen did not commit a suicide,” Podraza said. “Here you have the original pathologist, finally, after 14 years and five years of litigation, acknowledging that her manner of death should not be suicide.” The Greenbergs have long maintained that forensic evidence disproves suicide, citing medical reports that at least one of Ellen's wounds was inflicted post-mortem, making self-infliction impossible. Despite these findings, the Chester County District Attorney's Office announced last year that it would not pursue criminal charges, stating that there was insufficient evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. However, because there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania, charges could still be filed in the future. Meanwhile, the Greenbergs are pressing forward in their legal battle to have Ellen's official cause of death changed from suicide to undetermined. A Philadelphia judge ruled Friday that they may take three city officials to trial, including Osbourne, former chief medical examiner Sam Gulino, and homicide detective John McNamee, for emotional distress related to the alleged cover-up. Jury selection in the trial is set to begin February 3. Ellen's father, Joshua Greenberg, remains hopeful. “I'm hoping we're going to prove that Ellen did not commit suicide,” he said. “That's what this is all about. Justice for Ellen.” The case has captured national attention, with supporters rallying around the Greenbergs' efforts to change Ellen's death ruling and push for renewed criminal investigation. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is also set to hear a separate case regarding whether her parents have legal standing to amend her death certificate. With the medical examiner now refuting the original suicide ruling, the Greenbergs see this as a pivotal moment in their years-long quest for justice. #JusticeForEllen #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #Philadelphia #ForensicScience #LegalBattle #CrimeInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Maxim Greenberg from the Institute Jacob Monot about his work on epigenetic consequences of DNA methylation in development. In this interview we explore how Dr. Greenbergs work at UCLA involved pioneering experiments on DNA methylation mechanisms and how this period was marked by significant collaborative efforts within a highly competitive yet supportive lab environment that ultimately lead to publications in high impact journals. His transition to a postdoctoral position at the Institut Curie with Deborah Bourc'his harnessed his newfound expertise in mammalian systems, examining chromatin changes and the implications for embryonic development. Dr. Greenberg explained the nuances of his research, particularly how chromatin modifications during early development can influence gene regulatory mechanisms later in life, providing a compelling narrative about the potential long-term impacts of epigenetic changes that occur in utero. Throughout our conversation, we examined the intricate relationship between DNA methylation and Polycomb repression, discussing how these epigenetic mechanisms interact and the functional outcomes of their regulation. Dr. Greenberg's insights into his recent studies reveal a commitment to unraveling the complexities of enhancer-promoter interactions in the context of epigenetic regulation.   References Greenberg, M.

The Unrelenting Questions: The Death of Ellen Greenberg The snowstorm outside was relentless, blanketing Philadelphia in a quiet, suffocating stillness. It was January 26, 2011—the kind of day where the world seems to pause, leaving everyone confined to their warm apartments, sipping coffee, watching the flakes tumble. But for Ellen Greenberg, the quiet of her kitchen hid something darker, something that would ignite over a decade of questions, heartbreak, and accusations. Twenty Wounds and a Locked Door Twenty stab wounds. A ten-inch knife still buried in her chest. And a locked door that her fiancé Samuel Goldberg claimed he had to break down. When Goldberg's call came through to 911 that day, his voice was frantic. He'd been at the gym, he told police. He'd forgotten his keys, locked himself out, and after she didn't answer his increasingly desperate knocks, he forced his way in. What he found, he insisted, shattered him: Ellen lying on the kitchen floor, her body surrounded by blood. He claimed he tried CPR, helpless as his fiancée slipped further beyond reach. From the beginning, the scene defied logic. Ellen Greenberg, 27, a beloved teacher, had 20 stab wounds—ten to the back of her head and neck, ten more to her chest, abdomen, and stomach. Yet, almost inexplicably, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office initially called her death a homicide. Then, after a meeting with police and prosecutors, that ruling was quietly changed to suicide. A Family's Relentless Fight For years, Ellen's death has been a study in contradictions. The Greenberg family's quiet suburban lives were upended as they fought against a system that seemed more determined to close the case than solve it. Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandee, poured their grief into action. They hired forensic experts, pathologists, and lawyers. They combed through every detail. And still, all these years later, their daughter's death certificate reads: Suicide. But now, 13 years later, there's a new twist. Sam Goldberg, the fiancé who found her, has broken his silence, offering his first public comments on a case that has followed him like a shadow. In a statement to CNN, Goldberg remained resolute: “When Ellen took her own life, it left me bewildered. She was a wonderful and kind person who had everything to live for.” Everything to live for. It's the phrase that lingers, heavy and uncomfortable, because it doesn't align with what those 20 stab wounds reveal. Those wounds, each cruel and deliberate, were not simply injuries—they were evidence. Evidence that something far worse had taken place in that kitchen. The Forensics That Refuse to Be Ignored Goldberg's statement paints a picture of himself as another victim—the man who lost his future wife to an unseen darkness and then endured relentless suspicion. “In the years that have passed,” he wrote, “I have had to endure the pathetic and despicable attempts to desecrate my reputation by creating a narrative that embraces lies, distortions, and falsehoods.” But the Greenbergs aren't buying it—not then, not now. And neither are the growing number of forensic experts and legal analysts who have scrutinized the case. How does someone stab themselves twenty times? How does a woman—right-handed, according to her family—plunge a knife into her neck, her back, her heart? The geometry alone boggles the mind. Dr. Wayne Ross, a forensic pathologist hired by the Greenbergs, examined the evidence with a police officer of similar size and build as Ellen. They tried to replicate the movements. “We gave her the knife to see if she could actually contort herself in these positions,” Ross explained during a detailed forensic analysis conducted for the Greenbergs' legal team. “And she couldn't.” And then there's Ellen's spinal cord. Lyndsey Emery, another forensic pathologist, later revealed what may be the most chilling fact of all: Ellen's spinal cord had been severed. Two deep, forceful stabs to the neck. Her brain had been pierced. That alone, experts agree, would have left her paralyzed or dead. “No hemorrhaging,” Emery testified in a deposition, referring specifically to the wounds on Ellen's spinal cord. “No pulse.” This key statement, confirmed during legal proceedings, underscores the medical evidence that Ellen's fatal injuries left her unable to continue any self-inflicted harm. The implication was clear: Ellen could not have inflicted the other wounds on herself after those injuries. She would have been physically incapable of it. The Doorman Who Wasn't There The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to hear the Greenbergs' case marks a rare victory. For the first time, a court acknowledged that Ellen's death may have been more than a tragic misunderstanding—that maybe, just maybe, there had been a rush to judgment. But there's more. Depositions uncovered another key piece of the puzzle—one involving Goldberg's story about breaking down the apartment door. According to police at the time, a doorman claimed he had witnessed Goldberg forcing his way in. That detail became critical, helping authorities conclude Ellen's death was a suicide. Except, years later, the doorman said otherwise. In a signed statement, he revealed he was never there. Security cameras from the building confirmed it: the doorman had been at his post the entire time. The Parents Who Won't Give Up Ellen's parents remain adamant that their daughter was not suicidal. Yes, she had been diagnosed with anxiety, but the psychiatrist who treated her, Dr. Ellen Berman, stated unequivocally that Ellen showed no signs of suicidal intent. Friends noticed a change in her demeanor before her death, describing her as nervous and deferential—a far cry from the confident woman they had once known. Ellen's parents later discovered she had removed her engagement ring that day. She had packed her valuables, including her makeup, as if she were planning to leave. Joshua Greenberg insists in an interview, “She was going to come home. She had a plan.” This statement, made publicly and sourced from verified reports, reflects the family's enduring belief that Ellen's actions that day were not those of someone intending to take her own life. A Story Without an Ending The answers remain elusive, but the Greenbergs aren't giving up. They've uncovered a timeline riddled with inconsistencies, a crime scene marred by contamination, and a ruling built on shaky foundations. And now, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's intervention, they may finally have their chance to tear down the wall of silence that has surrounded this case. As for Sam Goldberg, his life has moved on. He's married now, living in New York, raising two children. To his supporters, he is a grieving fiancé who has been unfairly maligned. To the Greenbergs, he remains an enigma, a man at the center of a story that refuses to rest. Joshua Greenberg expressed his frustration plainly in an interview: “There's been a mistake—a big f**king mistake.” His voice, heavy with the weight of 13 years of unanswered questions and legal battles, carried a mixture of grief, anger, and determination. The snow has long since melted, but the questions remain—lingering, unanswered, like the quiet storm that began it all. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The implication was clear: Ellen could not have inflicted the other wounds on herself after those injuries. She would have been physically incapable of it. The Doorman Who Wasn't There The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to hear the Greenbergs' case marks a rare victory. For the first time, a court acknowledged that Ellen's death may have been more than a tragic misunderstanding—that maybe, just maybe, there had been a rush to judgment. But there's more. Depositions uncovered another key piece of the puzzle—one involving Goldberg's story about breaking down the apartment door. According to police at the time, a doorman claimed he had witnessed Goldberg forcing his way in. That detail became critical, helping authorities conclude Ellen's death was a suicide. Except, years later, the doorman said otherwise. In a signed statement, he revealed he was never there. Security cameras from the building confirmed it: the doorman had been at his post the entire time. The Parents Who Won't Give Up Ellen's parents remain adamant that their daughter was not suicidal. Yes, she had been diagnosed with anxiety, but the psychiatrist who treated her, Dr. Ellen Berman, stated unequivocally that Ellen showed no signs of suicidal intent. Friends noticed a change in her demeanor before her death, describing her as nervous and deferential—a far cry from the confident woman they had once known. Ellen's parents later discovered she had removed her engagement ring that day. She had packed her valuables, including her makeup, as if she were planning to leave. Joshua Greenberg insists in an interview, “She was going to come home. She had a plan.” This statement, made publicly and sourced from verified reports, reflects the family's enduring belief that Ellen's actions that day were not those of someone intending to take her own life. A Story Without an Ending The answers remain elusive, but the Greenbergs aren't giving up. They've uncovered a timeline riddled with inconsistencies, a crime scene marred by contamination, and a ruling built on shaky foundations. And now, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's intervention, they may finally have their chance to tear down the wall of silence that has surrounded this case. As for Sam Goldberg, his life has moved on. He's married now, living in New York, raising two children. To his supporters, he is a grieving fiancé who has been unfairly maligned. To the Greenbergs, he remains an enigma, a man at the center of a story that refuses to rest. Joshua Greenberg expressed his frustration plainly in an interview: “There's been a mistake—a big f**king mistake.” His voice, heavy with the weight of 13 years of unanswered questions and legal battles, carried a mixture of grief, anger, and determination.

Sam Goldberg, Fiancée Of Woman Stabbed 30 Times In "Suicide" Speaks Out For First Time In Decade

The Unrelenting Questions: The Death of Ellen Greenberg The snowstorm outside was relentless, blanketing Philadelphia in a quiet, suffocating stillness. It was January 26, 2011—the kind of day where the world seems to pause, leaving everyone confined to their warm apartments, sipping coffee, watching the flakes tumble. But for Ellen Greenberg, the quiet of her kitchen hid something darker, something that would ignite over a decade of questions, heartbreak, and accusations. Twenty Wounds and a Locked Door Twenty stab wounds. A ten-inch knife still buried in her chest. And a locked door that her fiancé Samuel Goldberg claimed he had to break down. When Goldberg's call came through to 911 that day, his voice was frantic. He'd been at the gym, he told police. He'd forgotten his keys, locked himself out, and after she didn't answer his increasingly desperate knocks, he forced his way in. What he found, he insisted, shattered him: Ellen lying on the kitchen floor, her body surrounded by blood. He claimed he tried CPR, helpless as his fiancée slipped further beyond reach. From the beginning, the scene defied logic. Ellen Greenberg, 27, a beloved teacher, had 20 stab wounds—ten to the back of her head and neck, ten more to her chest, abdomen, and stomach. Yet, almost inexplicably, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office initially called her death a homicide. Then, after a meeting with police and prosecutors, that ruling was quietly changed to suicide. A Family's Relentless Fight For years, Ellen's death has been a study in contradictions. The Greenberg family's quiet suburban lives were upended as they fought against a system that seemed more determined to close the case than solve it. Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandee, poured their grief into action. They hired forensic experts, pathologists, and lawyers. They combed through every detail. And still, all these years later, their daughter's death certificate reads: Suicide. But now, 13 years later, there's a new twist. Sam Goldberg, the fiancé who found her, has broken his silence, offering his first public comments on a case that has followed him like a shadow. In a statement to CNN, Goldberg remained resolute: “When Ellen took her own life, it left me bewildered. She was a wonderful and kind person who had everything to live for.” Everything to live for. It's the phrase that lingers, heavy and uncomfortable, because it doesn't align with what those 20 stab wounds reveal. Those wounds, each cruel and deliberate, were not simply injuries—they were evidence. Evidence that something far worse had taken place in that kitchen. The Forensics That Refuse to Be Ignored Goldberg's statement paints a picture of himself as another victim—the man who lost his future wife to an unseen darkness and then endured relentless suspicion. “In the years that have passed,” he wrote, “I have had to endure the pathetic and despicable attempts to desecrate my reputation by creating a narrative that embraces lies, distortions, and falsehoods.” But the Greenbergs aren't buying it—not then, not now. And neither are the growing number of forensic experts and legal analysts who have scrutinized the case. How does someone stab themselves twenty times? How does a woman—right-handed, according to her family—plunge a knife into her neck, her back, her heart? The geometry alone boggles the mind. Dr. Wayne Ross, a forensic pathologist hired by the Greenbergs, examined the evidence with a police officer of similar size and build as Ellen. They tried to replicate the movements. “We gave her the knife to see if she could actually contort herself in these positions,” Ross explained during a detailed forensic analysis conducted for the Greenbergs' legal team. “And she couldn't.” And then there's Ellen's spinal cord. Lyndsey Emery, another forensic pathologist, later revealed what may be the most chilling fact of all: Ellen's spinal cord had been severed. Two deep, forceful stabs to the neck. Her brain had been pierced. That alone, experts agree, would have left her paralyzed or dead. “No hemorrhaging,” Emery testified in a deposition, referring specifically to the wounds on Ellen's spinal cord. “No pulse.” This key statement, confirmed during legal proceedings, underscores the medical evidence that Ellen's fatal injuries left her unable to continue any self-inflicted harm. The implication was clear: Ellen could not have inflicted the other wounds on herself after those injuries. She would have been physically incapable of it.

It began, as these stories often do, with a single detail that refuses to sit right. This time, it was the death of Ellen Greenberg, a vibrant school teacher from Manayunk, Pennsylvania, found lifeless in her apartment on a snowy January day in 2011. The cause? Twenty stab wounds—ten to her back and ten to her chest, including a lethal one to her heart. And yet, the initial ruling from law enforcement was suicide. Now, thirteen years later, a Philadelphia courtroom is once again grappling with the lingering questions surrounding her death—questions her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, refuse to let fade into silence. In the hallowed chambers of Philadelphia City Hall, attorneys clashed in a high-stakes battle that teetered between forensic minutiae and allegations of systemic cover-ups. On one side stood the Greenbergs' legal team, armed with allegations that painted a chilling narrative. They claim that the handling of the case by the city's police department and medical examiner's office raises questions about whether proper procedures were followed. The city's legal representatives, however, rejected these allegations with equal fervor. They argued that the officials named in the Greenbergs' lawsuit were protected by immunity. They described the accusations of conspiracy as speculative, unsupported by evidence, and—in no uncertain terms—absurd. The courtroom was a microcosm of tension and grief, reflecting the broader struggle for accountability and justice. For the Greenbergs, it wasn't just about Ellen's death; it was about exposing systemic flaws they believe prevent families from finding closure. For the city's legal team, it was a fight to protect institutions from what they deemed unfounded allegations. Ellen Greenberg's story began on January 26, 2011, when her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, returned to their shared apartment during a blizzard. According to Goldberg, he found the door locked from the inside. After breaking it down, he discovered Ellen's body slumped in the kitchen. The knife used in the stabbing was still lodged in her chest. The scene—already jarring—was only the beginning of a series of inexplicable twists. Initial responders classified the death as a suicide. The autopsy, however, cast doubt on that conclusion. The forensic examiner noted the number and distribution of stab wounds, ultimately ruling her death a homicide. Yet, in an astonishing reversal, investigators later changed the cause of death back to suicide after what has been described as a meeting of law enforcement and forensic officials. The exact details of that meeting have not been disclosed publicly. Fast-forward to the present: the Greenbergs are not only seeking to hold city officials accountable but are also petitioning the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to amend Ellen's death certificate to reflect “undetermined” as the cause of death. Their argument? That the current classification of suicide is not just inaccurate but an insult to the evidence—and to Ellen's memory. Recent developments have added new layers of complexity. Following conflicts of interest within the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, the case was handed to the Chester County District Attorney's Office. After a re-examination of the evidence, Chester County announced it could not definitively determine if a crime had been committed. For the Greenbergs, this was a devastating blow—not just to their quest for justice, but to the very idea that truth can prevail over institutional inertia. The Greenbergs' legal team has raised concerns about the police crime scene investigation, alleging it may have been compromised because the apartment was cleaned before a thorough forensic examination. Whether this was a procedural oversight or something more remains unclear. For the legal experts following the case, this alleged mishandling underscores a broader issue: the delicate balance between preserving evidence and maintaining procedural integrity in the immediate aftermath of a crime. Beyond the courtroom, the Greenbergs' battle has sparked a wave of public interest, with advocacy groups and legal scholars weighing in on the implications of the case. Many see Ellen's story as emblematic of larger systemic issues, from the handling of crime scenes to the classification of suspicious deaths. Social media campaigns, petitions, and public forums have amplified the Greenbergs' call for transparency, turning their private grief into a public crusade for reform. For now, the case is in limbo. The judge who presided over the hearing has yet to issue a ruling, leaving all parties in a state of suspended animation. For the Greenbergs, the waiting is nothing new, but their resolve has never wavered. They continue to push for answers, driven by a determination to honor their daughter's memory and ensure that no other family endures a similar ordeal. Outside the courtroom, the snow has long since melted, but the chill of unanswered questions remains. For those following Ellen's case, one thing is clear: this fight isn't just about a young woman's tragic death. It's about the system that was supposed to find answers—and whether it failed her, or worse, chose to look the other way.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

No Charges in Ellen Greenberg's Death Despite 20 Stab Wounds, DA Rules

Prosecutors in Philadelphia have dealt another setback to the family of Ellen Greenberg, a young teacher whose mysterious 2011 death was controversially ruled a suicide despite more than 20 stab wounds. The Chester County District Attorney's Office has now concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. Ellen Greenberg, 27, was discovered dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011. Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, found her slumped against kitchen cabinets with a knife embedded in her chest. The scene was deeply unsettling: the beloved elementary school teacher had suffered 20 stab wounds, including gashes to her back, neck, and head. Initially, Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled Greenberg's death a homicide. However, the police quickly challenged this, and the classification was changed to suicide without a clear explanation, sparking outrage and confusion among those closest to her. For the past 13 years, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, Ellen's parents, have waged a relentless campaign for justice, pushing authorities to reconsider the circumstances of their daughter's violent death. This week, however, the Chester County District Attorney's Office announced that it could not pursue criminal charges. The office, which began reviewing the case in 2022, stated it could not meet the legal burden of proving a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. “This standard of proof – beyond a reasonable doubt – makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg's death,” a spokesperson explained. “Because we cannot meet our burden of proof with the information and evidence presently available, we placed this investigation in an inactive status.” Despite the setback, the DA's office emphasized that the case could be reopened if new evidence comes to light, as there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania. Greenberg's family expressed disappointment but remained steadfast in their belief that Ellen was murdered. “Our conviction about Ellen having been murdered does not change due to the announcement by the Chester County District Attorney's Office,” said the family's attorney, Joseph Podraza Jr., in a statement to NBC Philadelphia. He criticized the DA's investigation, stating, “The office did not investigate the core issues which we have raised, which establish Ellen was murdered, and that evidence remains unchallenged.” Podraza also highlighted that a former Philadelphia homicide prosecutor, who conducted an independent review of the case, concluded Ellen's death was indeed a murder. “We now look forward to an upcoming trial where a full and forthright examination of the core issues surrounding Ellen's murder may be publicly conducted before an independent Judge and jury of our peers,” he added. Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed to consider the family's case. The court will address whether executors and administrators have the right to challenge a death certificate's finding, especially if it obstructs legal actions such as wrongful death claims or victim compensation.

Prosecutors in Philadelphia have dealt another setback to the family of Ellen Greenberg, a young teacher whose mysterious 2011 death was controversially ruled a suicide despite more than 20 stab wounds. The Chester County District Attorney's Office has now concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. Ellen Greenberg, 27, was discovered dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011. Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, found her slumped against kitchen cabinets with a knife embedded in her chest. The scene was deeply unsettling: the beloved elementary school teacher had suffered 20 stab wounds, including gashes to her back, neck, and head. Initially, Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled Greenberg's death a homicide. However, the police quickly challenged this, and the classification was changed to suicide without a clear explanation, sparking outrage and confusion among those closest to her. For the past 13 years, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, Ellen's parents, have waged a relentless campaign for justice, pushing authorities to reconsider the circumstances of their daughter's violent death. This week, however, the Chester County District Attorney's Office announced that it could not pursue criminal charges. The office, which began reviewing the case in 2022, stated it could not meet the legal burden of proving a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. “This standard of proof – beyond a reasonable doubt – makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg's death,” a spokesperson explained. “Because we cannot meet our burden of proof with the information and evidence presently available, we placed this investigation in an inactive status.” Despite the setback, the DA's office emphasized that the case could be reopened if new evidence comes to light, as there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania. Greenberg's family expressed disappointment but remained steadfast in their belief that Ellen was murdered. “Our conviction about Ellen having been murdered does not change due to the announcement by the Chester County District Attorney's Office,” said the family's attorney, Joseph Podraza Jr., in a statement to NBC Philadelphia. He criticized the DA's investigation, stating, “The office did not investigate the core issues which we have raised, which establish Ellen was murdered, and that evidence remains unchallenged.” Podraza also highlighted that a former Philadelphia homicide prosecutor, who conducted an independent review of the case, concluded Ellen's death was indeed a murder. “We now look forward to an upcoming trial where a full and forthright examination of the core issues surrounding Ellen's murder may be publicly conducted before an independent Judge and jury of our peers,” he added. Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed to consider the family's case. The court will address whether executors and administrators have the right to challenge a death certificate's finding, especially if it obstructs legal actions such as wrongful death claims or victim compensation. Additionally, the Greenbergs have filed civil lawsuits over the years, targeting officials in the medical examiner's office, the police department, and the DA's office, arguing that their daughter's case was mishandled. As the legal battle continues, Ellen's parents hold out hope that new developments will finally bring them the answers and accountability they seek. ### #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #Philadelphia #UnsolvedMystery #ChesterCountyDA #TrueCrime #PennsylvaniaJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Nearly 14 years after the controversial death of Ellen Greenberg, found with 20 stab wounds in her Philadelphia apartment, the case is receiving renewed attention. The Chester County District Attorney's office, which took over the case in 2022, is actively reviewing the investigation and could soon provide updates. A spokeswoman for the Chester County DA's office confirmed that detectives and attorneys are working on the case. "It's all dependent on where our detectives are at in the investigation," Dana Moore said, noting that an update could come "in the coming weeks or months." The case, initially ruled a homicide before being controversially changed to a suicide, has been surrounded by questions. A Pennsylvania woman, who identified herself as an amateur cold-case investigator, provided PennLive with new information. After reviewing hours of surveillance footage from the Venice Loft apartments in the Manayunk neighborhood, where Ellen lived, she claims to have identified a "mystery man" behaving suspiciously around the time of Ellen's death. The woman reported that the man, captured on video between 4 p.m. and 6:10 p.m., appeared “nervously bouncing around” before heading upstairs when Ellen's fiancé, Sam Goldberg, was at the gym. She described seeing the man come downstairs with injuries, head to the bathroom, and later return with something large hidden under his clothes. Afterward, he picked up a swipe card dropped by Goldberg without examining it. "He didn't look at it to see what it was, but he checked to see if anyone saw him," she told PennLive. This timeline and related images were turned over to the DA's office two years ago. Moore did not comment directly on this new evidence but emphasized, "Our detectives and attorneys have been on this case... Every lead – everything -- is being taken very seriously." The Chester County DA's investigation marks the first official review of the case since the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office, under then-AG Josh Shapiro, completed an “exhaustive review” in 2022. Despite their efforts, which included new forensic analysis, the AG's office ultimately handed off the case due to a conflict of interest. For Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, the AG's review was insufficient. They have spent $700,000 on their own investigation, challenging the suicide ruling. Their fight for “Justice for Ellen” has led to two civil cases. One of these cases, now before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, could set a precedent for families challenging manner of death rulings made by coroners. The Greenbergs' legal battle also includes allegations of a conspiracy between Philadelphia authorities to cover up what they believe was Ellen's murder. "We hate to leave Harrisburg," Sandee told PennLive, explaining that financial pressures from their private investigation forced them to sell their home and relocate to Florida. Ellen, a 27-year-old elementary school teacher, was found stabbed in the kitchen of her locked apartment during a snowstorm. Despite the severity of her injuries, Philadelphia detectives quickly classified her death as a suicide, and her apartment was never treated as a crime scene. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner initially ruled her death a homicide, only to change it to suicide months later without further explanation. The Greenbergs hope the Chester County DA will bring the closure they've sought for over a decade, with Ellen's mother stating, "We're still fighting for our daughter."

Witness to Testify Medical Examiner Initially Ruled Ellen Greenberg's Death a Homicide

In a recent court hearing, shocking new details emerged in the long-contested death of Ellen Greenberg, whose demise in 2011 has haunted her family and baffled authorities. According to Joseph Podraza, attorney for Greenberg's parents, a key witness is prepared to testify that Ellen's death was initially ruled a homicide by the then-Philadelphia medical examiner, Dr. Samuel Gulino. During the motion hearing before Judge Linda Carpenter in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, Podraza disclosed that former assistant district attorney Guy D'Andrea is set to give critical testimony regarding the original investigation. D'Andrea reportedly had firsthand access to the investigation file which was largely neglected in a District Attorney's office closet after Ellen's death was controversially deemed a suicide. “Dr. (Samuel) Gulino told D'Andrea, ‘this is a homicide,'” Podraza asserted, adding that Gulino also believed Ellen's body had been moved post-mortem. This information shocked Ellen's mother, Sandee Greenberg, who was watching the proceedings via Zoom. "That's the first I've heard of it," she remarked to PennLive. "Her death is obviously a murder." The case of Ellen Greenberg has puzzled many since that snowy January evening when the 27-year-old school teacher was found lifeless in her locked apartment in Manayunk, with 20 stab wounds. Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, discovered her body slumped against a kitchen cabinet—a scene initially misinterpreted by Philadelphia detectives as a suicide. The legal battle to reclassify Ellen's death as a homicide has been strenuous and costly for her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, who have spent over half a million dollars in their 13-year fight. The ongoing civil lawsuit accuses Philadelphia detectives, medical examiner officials, and assistant district attorneys of conspiring to cover up the true nature of Ellen's death. Judge Carpenter has allowed the Greenbergs' motion to depose D'Andrea under oath, albeit with a four-hour limit on the session and confined to his knowledge of the death investigation file and his discussions about the case. The deposition could be pivotal in the Greenbergs' efforts to challenge a potential summary judgment motion seeking to dismiss their suit. Ellen's case has drawn significant public and media attention, partly due to inconsistencies and questions surrounding the initial handling of her death scene and subsequent investigation. The apartment was never sealed as a crime scene and was cleaned before a thorough investigation could occur, severely hampering the collection of evidence. As the Greenbergs await further court proceedings, they also hope for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to entertain their appeal to officially change the manner of Ellen's death from suicide to homicide. Such a ruling could potentially reopen the police investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding Ellen Greenberg's tragic death. The forthcoming depositions and continued legal proceedings aim to uncover the truth and provide closure for a grieving family that has long sought justice for Ellen.

The enigmatic case of Ellen Greenberg's death has cast a dark shadow over a decade, leaving her family and the broader public grappling with an enduring question: Who ended Ellen's life, and who is striving to keep the truth under wraps? This tragic tale, riddled with inconsistencies and unanswered queries, stirs profound empathy and a relentless call for justice. Ellen Greenberg, a vibrant, loved, 27-year-old Philadelphia schoolteacher, was found dead in her apartment on a cold January evening in 2011. The gruesome scene, showcasing a shocking 20 stab wounds, initially led investigators to classify her death as a homicide. However, in a bewildering turn of events, the ruling abruptly changed to suicide a month later, sparking outrage and confusion.    Since then, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, have been on a relentless quest for answers. This journey to unmask the truth behind their daughter's untimely demise isn't just about their personal closure—it's also a fight against an opaque system that seems to be sheltering reality.    But why would anyone want to suppress the truth about Ellen's death? Some speculate it could be an attempt to evade public scrutiny, while others suggest an underlying conspiracy to protect the reputation of certain individuals or institutions. Regardless of the motives, this perceived obfuscation has only fueled public demand for transparency and accountability in Ellen's case.    As time ticks on, the Greenbergs remain resolute, undeterred by the legal and bureaucratic roadblocks they've encountered. Backed by renowned forensic experts, they've disputed the suicide ruling, citing the implausibility of Ellen inflicting so many, including ten fatal, wounds upon herself. An important point of contention is the mysterious knife wound in Ellen's neck, allegedly inflicted post-mortem—a claim that, if true, strongly counters the suicide theory.    A key figure in this mystery is Ellen's fiancé, who was the only other person in the apartment that evening. While no direct evidence implicates him, some question his behavior and statements following Ellen's death. However, law enforcement has not considered him a suspect in the case.    The actions—or perceived inaction—of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office and the Philadelphia Police Department have also raised eyebrows. The quick shift in their stance from homicide to suicide, coupled with an alleged reluctance to re-open the case despite new evidence, has fueled suspicion of a cover-up.      Media and public scrutiny have further amplified calls for a transparent, unbiased re-investigation into Ellen's case. Social media campaigns, petitions, and news coverage have echoed the Greenberg's plea for justice, highlighting the public's demand for the truth. Amidst the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Ellen's tragic end, one thing remains crystal clear: the relentless determination of a grieving family who deserve to know what truly happened to their beloved daughter. Ellen's story compels us to confront uncomfortable truths about our justice system while highlighting the power of collective resilience and determination.    As the quest for truth continues, Ellen Greenberg's case is a stark reminder of the fight for justice many families face when their loved ones' stories are left untold or misrepresented. It's a call to action for transparency, truth, and justice for Ellen and others who may find themselves entangled in a similarly frustrating battle with a system meant to protect them.

BEAUTIFUL BRIDE STABBED DEAD: Parents Quest for Truth THWARTED

A ruling by a Pennsylvania appellate court upholding the finding in Ellen Greenberg's death hasn't stopped her parents' search for the truth. The Philadelphia teacher was found dead in her apartment, stabbed more than 20 times. Some stabs were to the back and head, and somehow the death was ruled a suicide. It was initially listed as homicide. Why did the medical examiner change it? That is the million-dollar question. The parents do not believe Ellen committed suicide.  Josh and Sandee Greenberg have struggled, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, to have the rule changed, and the appellate court ruling is just one more obstacle. In a 2-to-1 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found the Greenbergs lacked standing to bring their claim. This means that the parents can't raise a challenge, but if Ellen's parents can't, who can? In the same ruling, however, the court did raise questions about a faulty original investigation.    It's a conundrum. If the investigation was not properly handled, how does that not change the cause of death?

The tragic and perplexing death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011 remains a point of contention and heartbreak for her family. Despite the Pennsylvania appellate court's recent ruling against them, the Greenbergs refuse to let the matter rest. A Death Shrouded in Doubt Ellen, a respected teacher in Philadelphia, was discovered dead in her Manayunk apartment on a bleak, snowy evening in January 2011. The circumstances surrounding her death were puzzling. With her apartment door deadbolted from the inside, her fiancé had to break in after futilely trying to reach her for over an hour. What he found was shocking: Ellen's lifeless body with 20 stab wounds. However, the medical examiner's report compounded the family's anguish. Initially categorizing her death as a homicide, the examiner later reversed this to "suicide." As Joshua Greenberg, Ellen's father, shared with CBS News Philadelphia, "We don't believe our daughter committed suicide." The change in the cause of death has led to widespread skepticism. Not only does the Greenberg family doubt the conclusion, but their attorneys, their experts, and even some court officials have voiced concerns about the investigation's integrity. Legal Roadblocks and Controversy In their pursuit of justice, the Greenbergs have faced a maze of legal setbacks. Recently, their bid to change the official cause of death on their daughter's death certificate was thwarted by the Commonwealth Court. The court's 2-to-1 ruling stated that the Greenbergs didn't have the standing to raise this challenge. Yet, even within this ruling, questions were raised. As Joshua Greenberg noted, the judges indicated that the investigation had evident flaws involving the police, the medical examiner, and the district attorney. Such criticisms are amplified by the Greenbergs' attorney, Joe Podraza. Speaking with CBS News Philadelphia, he expressed disbelief over how Ellen's death was handled by various city agencies. One particular point of contention is a wound on Ellen's neck that had no blood traces, suggesting it was inflicted post-mortem. "To say this is a suicide is to say that Ellen stabbed herself twice after she was already dead," Podraza stated, emphasizing the absurdity of such a claim. The Quest for Evidence and Transparency The Greenberg family's crusade for the truth doesn't stop at challenging the medical examiner's findings. They have also taken legal action against the city, aiming to gain access to potentially revealing surveillance footage from Ellen's apartment building and the entire police case file. Additionally, they're suing the medical examiners, alleging a cover-up of a homicide. These efforts point to a deeper issue at hand: possible obstructions in the investigation. When asked if someone might be thwarting the investigation, Podraza responded, "There's something going on here plainly interfering with it. I don't know what it is." In a response to the ongoing controversy, the City of Philadelphia urged the Greenbergs to present any new evidence they might have to the investigators in Chester County, as they now hold the authority to re-investigate the case. An Undying Hope for Justice The pain for the Greenbergs is palpable. Each day without Ellen is a reminder of their loss. Sandra Greenberg, Ellen's mother, shared, "I try not to dwell on that even though there is a big hole in my heart." Despite the majority ruling of the Commonwealth Court against the Greenbergs, a glimmer of hope remains. A third judge believed the family had a valid standing to challenge the death certificate's cause of death. Buoyed by this support, the Greenbergs are now setting their sights on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, even though it remains uncertain whether the court will entertain the matter. In Conclusion The tragedy of Ellen Greenberg's death is compounded by the numerous unanswered questions and the arduous legal battles faced by her family. As they remain unwavering in their pursuit of truth and justice, one can only hope that clarity and closure will someday be achieved for both Ellen and her loved ones.

Pennsylvania Court Rules Against Parents of Ellen Greenberg A Pennsylvania court has made a significant ruling regarding the controversial death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011. The 27-year-old woman was found in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds. Initially labeled a homicide, the cause of death was later changed to suicide, a decision that left many questions unanswered.  The Background    Ellen Greenberg's lifeless body was discovered in the apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg. The grim scene raised multiple questions. Goldberg told authorities he had left the apartment around 4:45 p.m. for a workout in the building's gym. Upon his return, roughly 45 minutes later, he discovered the apartment's swing bar lock was engaged from inside, preventing entry.    Growing increasingly concerned after failing to establish contact with Ellen via calls and texts, Goldberg attempted to force his way in. When he finally did, he found Ellen seated on the kitchen floor, fully clothed, with a knife protruding from her chest. The nature and location of some of the wounds, particularly a severe laceration to the top of her skull and stab wounds to the rear of her neck and spine, added layers of complexity to the case.    Although Goldberg was questioned by the police, he was released shortly after. An autopsy initially declared the death a homicide. However, in a surprising turn of events, the medical examiner reversed this decision after a meeting with the police, labeling Ellen's wounds as self-inflicted.    Parents Fight for Justice    Disturbed by the sudden change in the cause of death and convinced there was more to the story, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, sought answers. They enlisted a private investigator who declared Ellen's death "strongly suspicious of homicide." This investigator pointed out significant gaps in the police's case, including the lack of records from Goldberg's interrogation and the failure to examine the murder weapon for fingerprints.    Despite their efforts, the Greenbergs' pleas to reopen the case were denied. This denial led them to sue the city's Medical Examiner's Office in 2019, seeking to reinstate the original cause of death: homicide.    The Court's Decision and Response    In a recent verdict, the Commonwealth Court sided with the city, ruling that the Greenbergs did not have legal standing to pursue the case. However, in a noteworthy mention, the judges stated they were "acutely aware of the deeply flawed investigation." Their decision elaborated on the pressing need for a detailed review of the investigation, in the hope that justice would eventually prevail for Ellen and her family.    Reacting to the decision, the Greenbergs admitted they were “disappointed but not surprised.” Joshua Greenberg, speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, highlighted the unexpected sympathy shown by the judges. He said, “I'm more surprised what they wrote in our favor than they ruled against us totally.” He further added, “It seems like somebody has a conscience here. They may have been judges in the judicial sense, and they didn't want to change the law, but they definitely feel something is wrong.”    At this stage, it remains unclear if the Greenbergs will escalate the case to the state supreme court.    Conclusion Ellen Greenberg's death remains a tragic and controversial topic that has resonated with many. The recent ruling, while not in favor of her parents, indicates a judicial acknowledgment of potential shortcomings in the initial investigation. As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities involved in seeking justice. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The enigmatic case of Ellen Greenberg's death has cast a dark shadow over a decade, leaving her family and the broader public grappling with an enduring question: Who ended Ellen's life, and who is striving to keep the truth under wraps? This tragic tale, riddled with inconsistencies and unanswered queries, stirs profound empathy and a relentless call for justice.   Ellen Greenberg, a vibrant, loved, 27-year-old Philadelphia schoolteacher, was found dead in her apartment on a cold January evening in 2011. The gruesome scene, showcasing a shocking 20 stab wounds, initially led investigators to classify her death as a homicide. However, in a bewildering turn of events, the ruling abruptly changed to suicide a month later, sparking outrage and confusion.    Since then, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, have been on a relentless quest for answers. This journey to unmask the truth behind their daughter's untimely demise isn't just about their personal closure—it's also a fight against an opaque system that seems to be sheltering reality.    But why would anyone want to suppress the truth about Ellen's death? Some speculate it could be an attempt to evade public scrutiny, while others suggest an underlying conspiracy to protect the reputation of certain individuals or institutions. Regardless of the motives, this perceived obfuscation has only fueled public demand for transparency and accountability in Ellen's case.    As time ticks on, the Greenbergs remain resolute, undeterred by the legal and bureaucratic roadblocks they've encountered. Backed by renowned forensic experts, they've disputed the suicide ruling, citing the implausibility of Ellen inflicting so many, including ten fatal, wounds upon herself. An important point of contention is the mysterious knife wound in Ellen's neck, allegedly inflicted post-mortem—a claim that, if true, strongly counters the suicide theory.    A key figure in this mystery is Ellen's fiancé, who was the only other person in the apartment that evening. While no direct evidence implicates him, some question his behavior and statements following Ellen's death. However, law enforcement has not considered him a suspect in the case.    The actions—or perceived inaction—of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office and the Philadelphia Police Department have also raised eyebrows. The quick shift in their stance from homicide to suicide, coupled with an alleged reluctance to re-open the case despite new evidence, has fueled suspicion of a cover-up.    Media and public scrutiny have further amplified calls for a transparent, unbiased re-investigation into Ellen's case. Social media campaigns, petitions, and news coverage have echoed the Greenberg's plea for justice, highlighting the public's demand for the truth.    Amidst the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Ellen's tragic end, one thing remains crystal clear: the relentless determination of a grieving family who deserve to know what truly happened to their beloved daughter. Ellen's story compels us to confront uncomfortable truths about our justice system while highlighting the power of collective resilience and determination.    As the quest for truth continues, Ellen Greenberg's case is a stark reminder of the fight for justice many families face when their loved ones' stories are left untold or misrepresented. It's a call to action for transparency, truth, and justice for Ellen and others who may find themselves entangled in a similarly frustrating battle with a system meant to protect them.

Ellen's family got some bad news at the end of February when the Pennsylvania attorney general's office reviewed the case again and still supports suicide as her cause of death despite all the evidence. Her parents told CBS News they were disgusted and disappointed by the finding. The Greenbergs are still in the process of suing Philadelphia, trying to change Ellen's manner of death from suicide to homicide or undetermined. We've included a link to her family's petition at the top of our show notes. The petition also includes ways to get in touch with Attorney General Josh Shapiro and demand that his office re-open her case.

Explaining the Tax Consequences of Bad Faith Punitive Damages

Modern Tax Law Makes Punitive Damages Only For The Benefit Of The Lawyers https://zalma.com/blog In Gary L. Greenberg and Irene Greenberg v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, No. 25420-07. (U.S.T.C. 01/24/2011) the United States Tax Court dealt with a recipient of insurance bad faith punitive damages who tried to avoid tax on the award. As a result, the recipient of the award of punitive damages for the bad faith conduct of their insurer, resulted in a major tax consequence and not the windfall the plaintiffs thought they received. Because the Greenbergs could not convince the Tax Court of their position the Court not only slapped the Greenbergs down in affirming a tax deficiency of over $1 million, but further sanctioned them with an accuracy-related penalty, because the taxpayers had neither substantial authority, nor reasonable cause underlying their posture on the damage award. The Tax Court noted that the definition of gross income broadly encompasses any addition to a taxpayer's wealth. Therefore, absent an exception by another statutory provision, damage awards from a lawsuit must be included in gross income. In general, exclusions from income are narrowly construed by the tax court. The Greenbergs argued that the punitive damages they received in their insurance bad faith case may be excluded from income under section 104(a) (3) primarily because punitive damages could not have been awarded without the insurance policy. The Tax Court discounted the “but for” argument, and found it was discredited by the Supreme Court's analysis of section 104(a)(2) in O'Gilvie v. United States, 519 U.S. 79 (1996). In that case the Supreme Court considered an earlier version of section 104(a)(2) that excluded from income “the amount of any damages received (whether by suit or agreement and whether as lump sums or as periodic payments) on account of personal injuries or sickness”. The Court reasoned that both the statute and the intention of Congress to exclude only those damages that compensate for personal injuries or sickness indicated that the exclusion does not include punitive damages. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support
