Trigger Warning: Discussions of sexual assault.It's a new year and we're back, Legal Team. We're kicking things off by unpacking one of the messiest and most layered legal stories to come out of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This episode dives into Britani Bateman's off-screen legal history, including her past disputes with her ex-husband, and how that relationship provides critical context for who she is and what we saw play out this season. We also break down Jared Osmond's own messy divorce proceedings, the broader Osmond family background, and why that name carries real weight in Utah's legal and social circles. Between sealed filings, overlapping disputes, and unresolved tensions, this is a saga that feels far from finished.

The Legal Team discusses the General Assembly process in Virginia in advance of the 2026 session.
The letter from Kirkland & Ellis to the Department of Justice raises alarm about what Epstein's legal team characterizes as an increasingly improper overlap between federal prosecutors and civil litigation against Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys note that since their prior submission, two additional civil lawsuits have been filed, all represented by Bradley Edwards Herman, a former law partner of First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman. They argue that it strains credibility that nearly all alleged victims—some no longer even residing in Florida—somehow retained the same small Miami law firm, particularly when those plaintiffs all appear on the government's confidential list of alleged victims. The letter emphasizes that the U.S. Attorney's Office had explicitly assured Epstein's counsel that this list would remain confidential, raising serious concerns about leaks or improper coordination.Beyond the appearance of a conflict of interest, the letter frames this pattern as evidence of inappropriate federal involvement in civil cases that should be independent of the criminal investigation. Epstein's lawyers suggest that the government's actions—or failures to prevent information sharing—are contributing to a coordinated legal assault that undermines fairness and due process. They stop short of making a direct accusation but clearly signal that the integrity of the prosecution is at risk if DOJ leadership does not intervene. The letter is essentially a warning shot to Main Justice, urging scrutiny of the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office before the situation escalates into a broader ethical or legal scandal.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:403-07.pdf

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Monday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will no longer seek election for a third term. His announcement comes after Minnesota, under his leadership, misappropriated billions-of-dollars to fraudulent welfare claims. 3:10pm- According to reports, on Friday at 10:46pm ET President Donald Trump gave the go-ahead on an extraction mission to capture Venezuelan authoritarian Nicolas Maduro. The successful raid consisted of 150 aircrafts—which eliminated air defense systems and cut power to infrastructure in Caracas. On Monday, Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared before a New York City judge—charged with narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracies. 3:30pm- David Gelman— Criminal Defense Attorney, former Prosecutor, & a former surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Venezuelan authoritarian Nicolas Maduro's appearance in a New York court where he pled not guilty to drug trafficking charges. Gleman jokes that Maduro has a better chance of winning the Powerball than being granted bail. 3:40pm- Can the Trump administration legally target other tyrannical regimes? In an article for The Free Press, Yale Law Professor wrote “under Supreme Court case law, the decision about whether or not to recognize a foreign government belongs exclusively to the president.” Which is important because “foreign heads of state are immune from prosecution…but as the courts held in [Panama leader Manuel] Noriega's case, head-of-state immunity does not apply to a dictator whom the U.S. doesn't recognize.”

The Legal Team discusses what happens with clients when leaving a firm.
Leon Black assembled a formidable, top-tier legal defense team to confront allegations tied to his financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, drawing heavily from the highest ranks of elite white-collar defense and former federal prosecutors. Legal observers noted that Black retained attorneys with deep experience in complex financial litigation, internal investigations, and crisis management—lawyers accustomed to navigating SDNY scrutiny, high-stakes reputational risk, and parallel civil and regulatory exposure. The team was structured not only to defend against specific legal claims, but to manage disclosure strategy, negotiate with prosecutors and regulators, and control narrative damage as scrutiny intensified around Black's payments to Epstein and his role at Apollo Global Management.Commentators in the legal community emphasized that the sophistication of Black's defense reflected both the seriousness of the allegations and the scale of potential exposure, particularly in civil litigation and institutional fallout rather than criminal charges. The strategy combined aggressive factual rebuttal with procedural pressure, including motions to dismiss, jurisdictional challenges, and efforts to narrow claims before discovery could expand. While the legal firepower succeeded in limiting some courtroom consequences, analysts pointed out that no amount of legal muscle could fully insulate Black from reputational harm, shareholder backlash, or public scrutiny. In that sense, Black's legal team was widely viewed as one of the most powerful assembled in any Epstein-adjacent case—effective at legal containment, even as broader questions about accountability remained unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protomail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a recent letter to Judge Subramanian, Sean Combs' legal team expressed concern over extensive pretrial publicity that they believe is compromising his right to a fair trial and the integrity of grand jury proceedings. They referenced a pending motion to limit extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their counsel, which the government has opposed, with Combs' reply due on November 8, 2024. Citing the immediate risk posed by ongoing public statements related to the grand jury, they requested the court to promptly restrict such extrajudicial comments during the motion's consideration.In this episode, we take a look at that motion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Draft Combs 23.1 Letter 110124 [trg]

The Legal Team discusses some of the nuances around making deductions from a tenant's security deposit.
In October 2020, Maxwell formally added Bobbi Sternheim to her defense team. Court filings from that time show Sternheim appeared as counsel for Maxwell in the sex-trafficking case brought by the U.S. government. Sternheim — described in media reports as a “super-lawyer” — had a reputation for handling high-stakes federal criminal cases, including representing an associate of Osama bin Laden in a major terrorism trial.Bringing Sternheim onboard signaled a significant shift in Maxwell's defense. In the subsequent 2021 trial, Sternheim delivered the opening statement. She framed Maxwell not as akin to her former associate Jeffrey Epstein, but as a kind of scapegoat — a “woman blamed for the bad behavior of men.” This reframing was part of a broader strategy: rather than directly challenging all the accusers' testimony, the defense under Sternheim emphasized doubts about memory, suggested motivations of money, and portrayed Maxwell as unfairly vilified because of Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team sought to keep certain deposition documents sealed, arguing that unsealing them would compromise the integrity of the jury pool by potentially tainting prospective jurors' opinions. In response, prosecutors invoked precedent cases—specifically the trials of Charles Manson and Jimmy Hoffa—asserting these defendants nevertheless received fair trials despite intense public attention and sensational judicial proceedingsThe comparison was used to underline that high-profile, widely publicized defendants do not automatically foreclose the possibility of impartial juries. Maxwell's team maintained that the graphic and sensational nature of the deposition disclosures could unduly sway public sentiment, whereas prosecutors countered by pointing to similar circumstances in other high-profile cases where justice was upheld.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8718195/Ghislaine-Maxwell-compared-Charles-Manson-court-papers.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Legal Team, we are back with another chapter in the Erika Girardi saga, this time unpacking the new federal lawsuit targeting her current attorney James Wilkes.

In October 2020, Maxwell formally added Bobbi Sternheim to her defense team. Court filings from that time show Sternheim appeared as counsel for Maxwell in the sex-trafficking case brought by the U.S. government. Sternheim — described in media reports as a “super-lawyer” — had a reputation for handling high-stakes federal criminal cases, including representing an associate of Osama bin Laden in a major terrorism trial.Bringing Sternheim onboard signaled a significant shift in Maxwell's defense. In the subsequent 2021 trial, Sternheim delivered the opening statement. She framed Maxwell not as akin to her former associate Jeffrey Epstein, but as a kind of scapegoat — a “woman blamed for the bad behavior of men.” This reframing was part of a broader strategy: rather than directly challenging all the accusers' testimony, the defense under Sternheim emphasized doubts about memory, suggested motivations of money, and portrayed Maxwell as unfairly vilified because of Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
After Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted, her legal team attempted to draw parallels between her case and the overturned conviction of Bill Cosby, arguing that Maxwell was also the victim of an unfair legal process and prosecutorial overreach. They claimed that the government had used her as a stand-in for Jeffrey Epstein, similar to how Cosby's team argued that his conviction relied on procedural failures rather than evidence. Maxwell's lawyers asserted that her trial was tainted by intense media pressure, emotional public sentiment, and what they described as a rush to secure a conviction after Epstein's death. Their position was that Maxwell, like Cosby, deserved relief based on constitutional concerns and alleged violations of due process.The defense also used the Cosby comparison to challenge the legitimacy of witness testimony, arguing that the accusers' memories were unreliable and influenced by outside forces, publicity, and financial incentives. They made the case that, as with Cosby, the court should reconsider whether the testimony admitted at trial was legally appropriate or unfairly prejudicial. Additionally, they pointed to the controversy surrounding a juror who failed to disclose past sexual abuse, arguing that this misconduct created a scenario similar to Cosby's, where the appellate court ultimately decided procedural errors outweighed the conviction. Ultimately, however, the judge rejected Maxwell's appeal arguments and refused to apply the Cosby standard to her case, ruling that the evidence against her was overwhelming and the trial process was legally sound.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mariette Clardy-Davis is Assistant General Counsel at Primerica, providing strategic guidance on the Securities Business. Recognizing AI competence as a professional duty, she launched "Unboxing Generative AI for In-House Lawyers" virtual workshops and an online directory empowering lawyers to move from AI overwhelm to practical application through hands-on learning. In this episode… Legal teams are turning to generative AI to speed up their work, yet many struggle with getting consistent, usable results. Learning AI skills requires hands-on practice with prompting frameworks, styling guides, and instructions that improve output quality. That's why attorneys need creative training approaches that help these skills stick and carry over into their day-to-day work. Building AI fluency isn't about mastering the technology itself. It's about shifting mindset and approach. One common challenge legal teams encounter is expecting AI to deliver consistent outputs every time, yet AI doesn't work like a copy machine. It responds through patterns, so the same prompt might produce different results. That's why creative, narrative-based training is effective for learning prompting frameworks. When attorneys pair detailed prompt instructions with gold standard examples, AI tools get the reference points they need for tone, style, and structure. Saving strong prompts into a library creates leverage and reduces the time spent rebuilding instructions for recurring tasks. This helps attorneys reduce rework, improve accuracy, and shift from basic efficiency tasks to work that supports strategy and collaboration. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Mariette Clardy-Davis, Assistant General Counsel at Primerica, about how in-house legal teams can embrace generative AI education. Mariette explains how creative, story-driven workshops make AI learning more engaging and why understanding prompting frameworks is essential for consistent results. She discusses common misconceptions lawyers have about generative AI tools and how building a task-based directory with reusable prompts helps legal teams save time on repetitive work. Mariette also explains how attorneys can use AI not just to speed up tasks but to support more substantive legal work.

When the U.S. Department of Justice filed a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request with the U.K. Home Office in 2020 to question Prince Andrew as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network, the Duke's legal team immediately went on the defensive. They issued a statement claiming Andrew had “on at least three occasions offered his assistance” and accused U.S. prosecutors of violating confidentiality rules by publicly asserting that he had not cooperated. His lawyers framed the MLA request as unnecessary “political theater,” implying that the DOJ's statements were meant to pressure the Duke through media embarrassment rather than legitimate procedure. The legal team presented Andrew as a willing witness, not a suspect — arguing that any suggestion he was stonewalling the investigation was both “false” and “misleading.”However, U.S. officials directly contradicted those assertions, saying that Andrew had “zero cooperation” despite repeated outreach. The Southern District of New York prosecutors maintained that Andrew's team refused to schedule interviews or provide substantive assistance. Legal experts in both the U.S. and U.K. noted that while an MLA request could theoretically compel cooperation through formal channels, it was diplomatically sensitive and rarely used against a member of the Royal Family. The optics were terrible: while the Duke's lawyers publicly insisted on transparency, his continued silence and refusal to appear under oath only deepened perceptions that he was hiding behind privilege and procedure to avoid accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Guzel Ganieva, a former Russian model, accused billionaire Leon Black of sexual abuse, coercion, and defamation stemming from a relationship that began in 2008. She alleged that Black raped her in 2014, engaged in “sadistic sexual acts,” and forced her into signing a nondisclosure agreement under duress to keep her silent. Ganieva claimed that Black used his wealth and power to control her and made payments to maintain her silence. Black denied all wrongdoing, describing the relationship as consensual and accusing Ganieva of extortion. The lawsuit gained national attention due to Black's high-profile status as co-founder of Apollo Global Management and his financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.In March 2023, Ganieva fired her legal team, Wigdor LLP, citing an “irrevocable breakdown” in their attorney-client relationship and moved to represent herself. A New York State Supreme Court judge later granted Wigdor's request to withdraw. In May 2023, a judge dismissed Ganieva's defamation claims, ruling that the nondisclosure agreement she signed — and accepted $9.5 million from — barred her case and that she had ratified the deal by taking its benefits. Ganieva appealed, but courts have continued to uphold the dismissal. Black later sued both Ganieva and her former law firm for malicious prosecution, alleging reputational damage, and while parts of that countersuit were dismissed, other claims were allowed to proceed.to contact me:bobbyapucci@protonmail.com

From Emani Ellis' flimsy claims and her lawyer's chaotic tactics to Cardi's raw, credible testimony that only strengthened her case, this trial had it all.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- David Gelman— Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, & a Surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray's Tuesday press conference where he announced charges against Tyler Robinson and confirmed he's seeking the death penalty for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Gray stated: “The defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk's political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide." 5:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I'm not afraid of you!” 5:50pm- Congresswoman Lucy McBath (D-GA) accused FBI Director Kash Patel of making the U.S. less safe under his leadership. Patel rejected her accusation, destroying her claims with facts: “If we're failing...how are we arresting 23,000 violent felons? 2x as many as this time last year. How are we seizing 1,500 kg of meth, 25% increase from last year. We captured four top ten FBI most wanted from around the world in 7 months. That's more than the entirety of the last administration. We put 1,500 child predators in prison. We dismantled 300 human trafficking networks. So, which is it? You don't like me, that's fine. But don't you dare disparage the men and women of the FBI that are producing record results in historic fashion to protect this country. They are kicking ass for America and they're going to continue to do so."
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/17/2025): 3:05pm- Krasner Ramps Up Vitriolic Language. During a town hall event on Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said of Republicans: “fascists are going to be fascist” and abhorrently accused the party of not believing in racial or gender equality. While other public officials have turned down the heated rhetoric following the murder of Charlie Kirk, Krasner seems to be embarrassing venomous, purposefully divisive language. 3:30pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her two concerning Secret Service reports for Real Clear Politics, “Secret Service Faces New Scrutiny After Agent Cheers Charlie Kirk's Murder” and “Secret Service Missed Glock in Bag at Trump Golf Course.” You can find them here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/authors/susan_crabtree/. 4:05pm- Cliff Maloney—Citizens Alliance CEO & PA CHASE Founder—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the loss of his friend Charlie Kirk. Maloney says Kirk was a “great man” and a “great messenger.” 4:30pm- Corey DeAngelis— Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project & Author of the book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the title of President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten's new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers.” Why is Weingarten ratcheting up the vitriolic political rhetoric less than one week after Charlie Kirk was murdered for his beliefs? Plus, DeAngelis reacts to Weingarten baselessly calling him “weird” and a “stalker” simply for advocating for school choice. She also accuses DeAngelis of being “obsessed.” He hilariously responds: “No, Randi Weingarten! I don't want to date you!!” 4:50pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA.
