Breaking verdict in the Colin Gray trial. Guilty on all 29 counts. Second-degree murder. The jury deliberated less than two hours before convicting the first parent in Georgia history for a school shooting committed by his child.Colin Gray gave his fourteen-year-old son an AR-15 for Christmas—seven months after the FBI warned him about online threats Colt made to shoot up a school. No safe. No lock. The rifle stayed in Colt Gray's bedroom next to a shrine of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz. Colin Gray claimed under oath he thought the images were "the guy from Green Day."The prosecution built its case on Colin Gray's own family. His daughter testified he asked her to lie to investigators. His estranged wife said she begged him repeatedly to lock up the guns. Weeks before the Apalachee High School shooting that killed two teachers and two students, Colt texted his father: "Whenever something happens just know the blood is on your hands."The morning of the shooting, Colt sent goodbye messages. Colin Gray read them. He didn't call the school. Didn't race to stop anything. Stopped at QuikTrip for a drink on his way home while four people lay dead.Colin Gray took the stand as his only defense witness. He cried. Said he never saw the evil coming. The jury rejected every word—guilty on all counts in under two hours.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to break down the failed defense strategy, the testimony that sealed this conviction, and what the Colin Gray verdict means for parental accountability nationwide. The Crumbleys were convicted of manslaughter in Michigan. Georgia just raised the stakes to murder.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In November 1958, Frank Duncan's pregnant wife, Olga Kupczyk, disappeared without a trace from their Santa Barbara home after enduring months of abusive treatment from her mother-in-law. A short time later, Frank's marriage was inexplicably annulled after his mother, posing as Olga, showed up at the local courthouse with a man she'd hired to pose as her son, Frank. One month later, in mid-December, investigators in the small coastal town of Carpinteria, California, were directed to the location of Olga's body in a shallow grave, after one of her killers confessed to kidnapping and murdering her the previous month. The arrest of Augustine Baldonado and his accomplice, Luis Moya, solved the mystery of what happened to Olga, but when it came to the motive for the murder, the truth was more shocking than anyone had expected.

The Kouri Richins murder trial entered its second week in Park City, Utah with a witness prosecutors have been building toward since opening statements — a forensic accountant who spent the day methodically dismantling any notion that Kouri Richins' finances were simply the casualty of an ambitious businesswoman moving too fast.Brooke Karrington, with more than thirty years of forensic accounting experience, walked the jury through a financial picture that prosecutors argue makes their case: by the time Eric Richins died on March 4, 2022, his wife was carrying $7.5 million in debt, burning through $80,000 a month in payments, and cycling through four separate payday lenders at $2,100 per day. Her business account had been described — from the stand — as "perpetually in the hole." She had written $60,000 in checks to herself that bounced. She had claimed 147 employees to a lender while her bank balance sat at $1,500.The day after Eric died, she purchased a $2.9 million mansion. Seven days after that, she tried to sell it. It eventually foreclosed.Kouri collected $1.35 million from Eric's life insurance policies. By September 2022, after spending it all, forensic records show she had approximately $800 left.The defense argued the financial evidence is speculative, that Eric had access to the same accounts, and that debt does not equal motive for murder. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.The trial continues — and the jury now has the full financial picture in front of them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Carmen Lauber is the prosecution's star witness in the Kouri Richins murder trial. She claims she bought fentanyl for Kouri four times before Eric Richins died. But she was using meth during that period. She got immunity from three jurisdictions. Her supplier now says he sold oxycodone, not fentanyl. She admitted confusion on the stand. The defense is hammering her credibility. The prosecution needs the jury to believe her anyway. Robin Dreeke explains how to read what's real.Dreeke spent 21 years with the FBI, including serving as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. His job was detecting deception and assessing credibility in high-stakes situations. He understands how to separate a witness with baggage from a witness who's lying — and the behavioral indicators that reveal which is which.The Richins trial hinges on competing narratives. The prosecution says Kouri positioned insurance policies for years, escalated to sourcing drugs through her housekeeper, and poisoned her husband for money. The defense says no fentanyl was found in the home, the Moscow mule glasses went through the dishwasher, the pill bottle wasn't tested, and the key witness is saying whatever keeps her out of prison.Dreeke breaks down the specific behaviors that would indicate whether Lauber's core testimony is reliable despite the noise. He reads Robert Crozier's reversal — fentanyl in the original statement, oxycodone on the stand. He assesses Kouri's sustained composure through five days of people describing how she allegedly murdered her husband. And he addresses the moment when behavioral patterns become more persuasive than the physical evidence that doesn't exist.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Spätestens sobald ein Kinostart feststeht, solltet ihr euch diesen wunderbaren und wunderschönen Film von Grant Gee unbedingt fest vormerken.

In Episode 21, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on the objections raised against juries judging both law and fact. Building on last week's discussion of criminality, intent, and the erosion of liberty through statutory law, Jonathan dismantles the maxim that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” and challenges the idea that judges alone should define what law means. This episode explores the central tension between centralized authority and decentralized power, arguing that true liberty depends on juries acting as the final safeguard against tyranny. Jonathan walks through Spooner's responses to four major objections, addressing concerns about “ignorant” jurors, absolute jury power, and the risk of inconsistent verdicts. The conclusion is bold but consistent: it is better for justice to occasionally fail than for injustice to be systemically enforced. At its core, this episode frames trial by jury not as a procedural relic, but as the true palladium of liberty—and a necessary check on government overreach.

Two pieces of evidence put you as close to the night Eric Richins died as anyone outside that house will ever get.The 911 call was placed at 3:21 a.m. On it, Kouri Richins is sobbing. She tells the dispatcher Eric isn't breathing. He's cold. She says she doesn't know what happened. She doesn't know CPR but agrees to try. Defense attorney Kathryn Nester called it the sound of a wife becoming a widow.Prosecutors see it differently. They say Kouri first grabbed her phone at 3:06 a.m.—fifteen minutes before she dialed 911. Six times her phone was unlocked in that gap. First responders noted Eric seemed like he had been dead a while. The state alleges that delay reflects a guilty conscience.The bodycam footage from Deputy Nguyen shows Kouri interacting with officers while medics work on Eric in the background. She appears distraught. She tells them about the drinks around 9 p.m., that she slept in their son's room, that Eric may have had a THC gummy. Her mother arrives and mentions an allergy shot from the day before. At that point, deputies had no idea fentanyl was involved—they were considering an aneurysm.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the prosecution's broader challenges. The housekeeper who claims she sold Kouri fentanyl has immunity. The supplier has recanted, saying what he sold wasn't fentanyl. No pills were ever recovered or tested. Eric's friends will testify he said his wife tried to poison him eighteen days before his death. An orange notebook with Kouri's own account of that night may be admitted.We break down all of it—the recordings, the testimony, the gaps, and where this case could turn.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ein vielleicht gar nicht mal so überraschendes Ergebnis lieferte die Bestenliste-Runde im Freiburger Literaturhaus. Werke, die auf die Vergangenheit zurückblicken, führten nicht selten zu hitzigen Diskussionen über die Gegenwart. Meike Feßmann, Eberhard Falcke und Jörg Magenau diskutierten über vier auf der SWR Bestenliste im März verzeichneten Werke. Auf Platz 4 steht ein Buch aus der Friedenauer Presse, nämlich Banines „Liebe ist Dir verboten. Ernst Jünger und ich. Aufzeichnungen 1942-1991“. Die von Alexander Pschera übersetzten, eingeleiteten und herausgegebenen Reflexionen der in Baku geborenen Schriftstellerin führten zur kontrovers beantworteten Frage, wie neben der geistigen Anziehung das erotische Verhältnis, insbesondere ein sexueller Übergriff Jüngers zu bewerten sei. Safae el Khannoussis Roman „Oroppa“ in der deutschen Fassung von Stefanie Ochel wird durchweg gelobt. Das Buch der marokkanisch-niederländischen Autorin, das im Hanser Verlag erschienen ist, steht auf Platz 3 der März-Bestenliste und zeichnet sich vor allem durch eine vielschichtige und zunächst nicht leicht zu lesende Mehrstimmigkeit aus. Trotzdem oder auch gerade deshalb wird es als „Meisterwerk“ gefeiert. Kurios, komisch und surreal ist Dorota Masłowskas Episodenroman „Im Paradies“, den Olaf Kühl für den Rowohlt Berlin Verlag aus dem Polnischen ins Deutsche übertragen hat. Die ästhetischen Mittel der Autorin und das Roman-Etikett werden innerhalb der Jury unterschiedlich bewertet, genau wie die Frage, ob „Im Paradies“ (Platz 2) auch als Gesellschaftsportrait Polens zu lesen sei. Äußerst kritische Anmerkungen gab es zu Judith Hermanns Erinnerungsbuch „Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit (S. Fischer Verlag). Hermann begibt sich auf Spurensuche in Polen. Dort möchte sie mehr über ihren Großvater erfahren, der Mitglied der SS und mutmaßlich an Verbrechen der Besatzer beteiligt war. Doch die Recherche verläuft im Dunklen. Worum geht es in dem Text? Handelt es sich um eine literarische Familienaufstellung? Wie fügt sich der Besuch der Erzählerin bei der Schwester in Neapel in die Gesamtkonstruktion ein? Welche Rolle spielt der Stil der Autorin bei Einordnung des Buchs? Es wurden viele Fragen gestellt, die zu heftiger Kritik der Jury führten. Ein Buch, das auf Platz 1 der SWR Bestenliste steht, das Publikum nachdenklich stimmt und Debatten über die Gegenwart der Vergangenheit auslöst. Aus den vier Büchern lasen Antje Keil und Sebastian Mirow. Durch den Abend führte Carsten Otte.

The Toxicologist Testimony delves into the forensic findings, including the high concentration of fentanyl and norfentanyl, the presence of illicit Acetal Fentanyl, and the debate surrounding low levels of Quetiapine (Seroquel) and ethanol. The testimony covers the lethal dose of fentanyl and how the levels compare in this case. Carmen Lauber, who procured drugs for Kouri Richins, testified about multiple purchases, including fentanyl pills. The testimony details how Kouri allegedly asked for "Michael Jackson drugs" and the communication surrounding the acquisition.

A SWAT team in Chicago raided the wrong house and a jury awarded the family $5.7 million. https://www.lehtoslaw.com
The witness the entire trial has been building toward finally testified on day four. Carmen Lauber, the former Richins family housekeeper, took the stand in Park City and told jurors she purchased drugs for Kouri Richins four times between late January and early March 2022 — the period surrounding Eric Richins' death.Lauber's testimony, given under immunity agreements with multiple jurisdictions, laid out an alleged escalation from generic opiates to fentanyl pills purchased from a street-level source. She testified that she informed Kouri the pills were fentanyl and that Kouri told her to proceed. According to Lauber, Kouri left cash in a house she was flipping and Lauber left pills in a firepit at the same property — a system that kept both women physically separated from the handoffs.Lauber also described a phone call days after Eric's death in which she says she told Kouri to please confirm the pills weren't for him. According to Lauber, Kouri said they were not and that Eric died from a brain aneurysm. Phone records presented in court showed Kouri texted Lauber three days after Eric's death asking about her drug connection. The fourth buy was paid for with a $1,300 check Lauber says was labeled as construction cleaning for work she never performed.Defense attorney Wendy Lewis challenged Lauber's credibility extensively. Lauber confirmed regular methamphetamine use during the period of the alleged deals, prior drug convictions, pending charges, and a failed drug court stint. Lewis highlighted that Lauber initially told investigators Kouri asked for oxycodone, not fentanyl, and played a recorded investigator meeting where Lauber was told to provide information that would ensure a conviction. Lauber's drug source has also changed his account of what he sold. Cross-examination continues Friday.The morning session established the forensic foundation. Toxicologist Dr. Brianna Peterson confirmed Eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his blood, with markers for illicit fentanyl. No hydrocodone was detected. A state crime lab scientist tested 19 evidence items and found no fentanyl on any of them. Testimony also addressed phones collected from Kouri's alleged boyfriend that were initially inoperable but later became functional, and a letter found in the Richins bedroom in November 2024 that was not present during any prior search.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They offered $100,000. She demanded $450,000. They wouldn't budge — so she went to trial. The jury came back with $10 million. To this day, it remains the highest pain-and-suffering verdict in Luzerne County history. Meet Melissa Scartelli, the author of that verdict and many others. A 35-year trial veteran and founder of Scartelli Olszewski, Melissa has built her practice around medical malpractice, earning rare punitive damage verdicts against physicians and going to verdict in cases where she could not name a specific dollar amount to the jury. Host Dan Ambrose draws out stories behind Melissa's wins, including the way she anchors damages and the time she flipped a retrial in her favor by calling a defendant doctor first.

Tom Slater, editor of spiked, joins Julia Hartley-Brewer to slam the Green Party's policy programme — and why it's the ultimate “gift” to anyone arguing Britain needs common sense back in politics.Julia and Tom break down proposals that would effectively wipe out the idea of “illegal migrants” — including instant access to public services, the right to work with no restrictions, and, most controversially, the promise of a free house (or private room) and a taxpayer-funded basic living wage with no requirement to work or even look for work. Julia brands it “sixth-form politics” dressed up as compassion — warning it would supercharge pull factors while Britons already struggle with housing, jobs, school places and falling living standards.They also tackle the bigger picture: the political double standard where mainstream views on borders and safety are smeared as “extreme” — while genuinely radical ideas are waved through.Then Julia is joined by Karl Turner MP (Labour, Hull East) for an equally blunt conversation about accountability and the justice system. Karl Turner reacts to the extraordinary developments around Lord Mandelson's arrest connected to allegations relating to Jeffrey Epstein (Mandelson denies wrongdoing and has not been charged), and questions the secrecy around what the public is allowed to know.And on Labour's plan to curb jury trials for most offences, Turner calls it “outrageous”, says it won't fix court delays, and warns it risks ripping up a hard-won safeguard dating back to Magna Carta — with a serious Commons rebellion brewing.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

The trial of the man accused of murdering Natalie McNally is continuing in Belfast. 36-year-old Stephen McCullagh of Woodland Gardens in Lisburn, denies murdering Ms McNally. She was fifteen weeks pregnant when was killed at her home in Lurgan in December 2022. On Tuesday, the state pathologist outlined the injuries she sustained in a prolonged attack – including defence wounds as she tried to fight off her attacker. On Wednesday, the jury heard that experts from the PSNI's cyberteam determined McCullagh's six-hour stream on YouTube was not in fact live at all but had been recorded some days before. The crown's case is that this constituted a false alibi. Allison Morris was in court. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Die Jury des Preises der Leipziger Buchmesse hat ihre Nominierungen in den Kategorien Belletristik, Sachbuch und Übersetzung bekannt gegeben „eine bemerkenswert ausgewogene Mischung“, wie SWR-Literaturredakteur Christoph Schröder. In der Belletristik stehen unter anderem Norbert Gstrein mit seinem viel beachteten Roman „Im ersten Licht“, Helene Bukowski, Katharina Poladjan, Anja Kampmann sowie die Debütantin Elli Unruh auf der Liste. Besonders positiv fällt laut Schröder auf, dass die Jury literarische Versäumnisse anderer Preise korrigiert und zugleich mit unabhängigen Verlagen wie dem Transit Verlag die Vielfalt des Marktes würdigt. Auch im Sachbuchbereich überzeuge die Auswahl, etwa mit der Comic-Künstlerin Ulli Lust und dem Literaturwissenschaftler Manfred Pfister, die thematisch und formal unterschiedliche Akzente setzen. Insgesamt präsentiere sich der Leipziger Buchpreis in diesem Jahr als klug kuratierte und überraschend stimmige Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Literaturlandschaft.

David and Jasmine sit down with Ken Lopez, founder of Persuadius and a veteran litigation consultant known for blending law, psychology, and visual communication. Ken shares how a dislike of law school and an early obsession with computer animation led him to create trial graphics in the mid-1990s, eventually building A2L Consulting and later launching Persuadius to continue that work with a deeper focus on storytelling. Ken outlines what actually persuades in court: simple narratives, clear themes, and stories shaped around a hero's journey rather than a strict timeline. He explains why fear-based arguments often overpower logic, how the “reptile” strategy works on both sides of the bar, and why bullet-heavy slides undermine comprehension. The conversation wraps with Ken's take on AI, evolving juror expectations, and why speed, clarity, and strong visuals will matter even more in the years ahead.https://perkinscoie.com/insights/publication/settlement-counsel-services
In Episode 20 of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on Chapter 9: “The Criminal Intent.” Drake explores Spooner's core argument that there can be no true crime without criminal intent, and that juries—not judges or statutes—must determine both the law and the motive of the accused. He contrasts natural law with modern statutory systems, arguing that courts have replaced the “guilty mind” standard with blind obedience to arbitrary legislation. The episode dismantles the doctrine that “ignorance of the law excuses no one,” exposing it as a tool for maintaining absolute governmental authority rather than justice. Through examples ranging from property rights to medical licensing monopolies, Drake illustrates how the erosion of true trial by jury has enabled regulatory overreach and the expansion of state power. Blending legal philosophy, historical analysis, and practical application, this installment challenges listeners to reconsider what justice actually means—and whether America still lives up to the title “land of the free.”

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In March 2023, Kouri Richins appeared on television promoting a children's book she'd written. Are You With Me? featured her husband Eric as an angel-winged father watching over their sons. Two months later, she was arrested for his murder. Six months after that, prosecutors found a letter in her jail cell allegedly scripting false testimony for her family.Robin Dreeke's FBI career was built on reading deception in high-stakes situations. His "Tempo Tells" framework identifies the patterns that reveal when someone's narrative is constructed rather than authentic. In this Hidden Killers conversation, we apply that lens to Kouri's post-death behavior—fourteen months of maintained innocence, public grief performance, and alleged witness manipulation from behind bars.The 911 call offers the first window. Robin explains what investigators listen for: tempo deviations, detail calibration, the specific verbal patterns that distinguish authentic emergency responses from performance. Then came the media interviews. The book tour. The television appearances. What does choosing to perform grief publicly at that scale reveal about someone's confidence in their deception—and their risk tolerance?The "Walk the Dog" letter changes everything. Prosecutors allege it outlines specific false testimony Kouri's mother and brother were supposed to provide. When someone continues orchestrating the narrative from a jail cell, what does that reveal about how they process truth?Three years of legal proceedings. Bail hearings. Evidentiary motions. Jury selection. Nobody maintains perfect behavioral control indefinitely. Robin explains where the architecture starts to break—and what twelve jurors should watch for over five weeks of trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kouri Richins goes to trial for the alleged fentanyl murder of her husband Eric in less than a week — and the prosecution's case may not be as airtight as it looked a year ago. The man who was supposed to prove the fentanyl supply chain has recanted. The lead detective faces witness intimidation allegations. Two prosecution experts were excluded. And 26 financial crime charges were severed from the case entirely.Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to break down what the defense gained before the jury ever sat down. Robert Crozier now says under oath that he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl — and the pills were never recovered or forensically tested. Prosecutors dropped the drug distribution charges after that sworn affidavit. Faddis explains why that gap matters, how Detective O'Driscoll's alleged threats to a witness could undermine the investigation's credibility, and what it means that Judge Mrazik blocked the state's domestic violence expert and limited FBI profiler Molly Amman's role.The defense lost two venue change requests in a county where 85 percent of residents had heard of the case. Jury selection wrapped in two days. Faddis walks through whether that rapid process helps or hurts Kouri — and identifies the single biggest card the defense holds heading into opening statements on February 23rd.#KouriRichins #RichinsTrial #EricRichins #FentanylMurder #TrueCrimeToday #SummitCounty #DefenseStrategy #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jury selection just wrapped in one of the most anticipated murder trials of 2026. On February 23rd, Kouri Richins goes to trial for allegedly poisoning her husband Eric with fentanyl—and the case could go either way.The prosecution has bombshell evidence. Google searches for lethal fentanyl doses. Texts to her boyfriend wishing Eric would "go away." A Valentine's Day sandwich that allegedly contained fentanyl and left Eric reaching for an EpiPen. Nearly $2 million in insurance policies prosecutors say she took out without his knowledge. A jail letter prosecutors describe as witness tampering instructions.But the defense just landed a devastating blow. Robert Crozier, the man prosecutors say supplied the fentanyl through Kouri's housekeeper, recanted his statement in October 2025. He now claims he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl, and was "out of it" during his original interview. No fentanyl was ever found in the home.The trial will last five weeks. Over 100 witnesses. More than 1,000 exhibits. And several key pieces of evidence the jury won't hear—including Kouri's claims that Eric was abusive and a domestic violence expert the judge barred from testifying.There's also the shadow of Kouri's mother. Lisa Darden's romantic partner died of an oxycodone overdose in 2006. Darden had recently been named beneficiary. She was present the night Eric died. No charges filed.Today we break down what both sides will argue, where the weaknesses are, and what eight jurors will have to decide. This isn't a simple case. The evidence cuts both ways—and the verdict is far from certain.#KouriRichins #TrueCrimeToday #EricRichins #MurderTrial2026 #FentanylPoisoning #UtahCrime #TrialPreview #WitnessRecantation #SummitCounty #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Kouri Richins case looks like an open-and-shut murder. A Utah mom allegedly poisons her husband with fentanyl, attempts to collect insurance money, writes a children's book about grief. Case closed, right?Not even close.As trial begins on February 23rd, the evidence that seems most damning keeps shifting. The prosecution's key witness—the man who allegedly supplied the fentanyl—now says he never sold fentanyl at all. He claims he was detoxing during his original police interview and doesn't remember what he said. No pills were ever recovered from the Richins home.But that's not the hidden layer that haunts this case.Kouri's defense tried to introduce evidence that Eric was abusive—that he'd given her a black eye. The judge excluded it. A domestic violence expert was barred from testifying. Whatever truth exists about their marriage, the jury won't hear that side.Then there's Kouri's mother, Lisa Darden. In 2006, Darden's romantic partner died of an oxycodone overdose—shortly after naming Darden as her estate's beneficiary. The detective investigating Eric's death wrote that it's "possible" Darden was involved in planning Eric's death. She was present the night he died. No charges have been filed.This episode breaks down what's hidden beneath the headlines: the recanted witness, the excluded evidence, the mother's shadow, and the financial desperation that may have driven everything. We examine both the prosecution's architecture and the defense's grenades.Eight jurors will decide Kouri's fate. But they won't have the full picture—and neither will you unless you hear what got left out.#KouriRichins #HiddenKillers #EricRichins #FentanylMurder #LisaDarden #WitnessRecantation #UtahMurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #ExcludedEvidence #SummitCountyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Jury is Out hands this week's episode over to The Case Doctors, John Simon, and Alvin Wolff. With more than 80 years of combined legal experience, Simon and Wolff have seen it all—and now, they're sharing their insights into real-world legal questions submitted by fellow attorneys. News of a corndog recall sparks hilarious memories for Wolff of a case he once handled. And attorneys ask the Case Doctors how they keep their sanity and ethics intact when a client has a history of suing and firing previous attorneys.
Guilty. All fifteen counts. Less than five hours.Paul Caneiro was convicted Friday of the 2018 murders of his brother Keith Caneiro, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children Jesse and Sophia at their Colts Neck mansion. The jury deliberated for under five hours after a five-week trial — their first request was to rewatch surveillance of Caneiro's Porsche leaving and returning on the morning of the killings.The prosecution built an overwhelming case. DNA from both children on bloody jeans in Caneiro's basement. The murder weapon traced to his gun safe. Footage of him disabling his own security cameras at 1:27 AM. Recorded calls capturing Keith confronting Paul over stolen money the day before the murders.Keith Caneiro was shot five times on his front lawn. Jennifer was shot and stabbed inside. Both children were stabbed repeatedly — Sophia at least seventeen times — and left alive as the house burned. Medical examiners found soot in their airways.The defense blamed police tunnel vision and a third brother who was never charged. They introduced a two-person conspiracy theory during closing arguments without ever proving it. The jury rejected the defense entirely.Caneiro faces life without parole. Sentencing is scheduled for May 12. Seven years after the murders, justice has been delivered.#PaulCaneiro #CaneiroTrial #TrueCrimeToday #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #GuiltyVerdict #NewJerseyCrime #KeithCaneiro #FamilyMurder #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the summer of 1998, eighty-two-year-old New York socialite Irene Silverman disappeared from her Manhattan townhouse without a trace. Silverman's friends were immediately concerned, as it was completely out of character for Irene to leave town without telling anyone. Coincidentally, on the same day Irene Silverman disappeared, authorities in New York arrested Sante Kimes and her son, Kenny, on a charge of check fraud. Unbeknownst to investigators, these two events were directly linked.In the wake of the arrest of Kimes and her son, investigators discovered a number of links between the mother and son con artists and Irene Silverman that would not only lead to the discovery of Silverman's body, but also to a years' long crime spree that included everything from check fraud and impersonation to arson and murder. In the annals of American crime, it's rare to find a series of violent crimes committed by a woman. And among those women, it is rarer still to find one so brutal, cunning, and manipulative as Sante Kimes.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1985. "Couple charged with slavery."

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FE4SNMr2syQ Did Alex Murdaugh get a fair trial? We break down the intense oral arguments before the South Carolina Supreme Court as the defense appeals for a new trial. The most Murdaugh can achieve from this appeal is a new trial. He would still remain incarcerated due to his federal and other state convictions. The discussion details how the clerk of court allegedly had a financial incentive (to sell a book for a "lakehouse") to influence the jury toward a guilty verdict. We cover the comments she made to deliberating and alternate jurors about Murdaugh's body language and testimony, and the highly problematic revelations from the "egg juror's" affidavit. We also touch upon other evidentiary errors argued by the defense, including issues with cell phone forensic evidence, gunshot residue from a blue raincoat, impeachment regarding Murdaugh's post-Miranda silence, and firearms identification testimony. The justices showed significant interest in the clerk of court's interference, which many observers believe presents the easiest grounds for a new trial.
