The Kouri Richins murder trial is here and the case is as contested as it is disturbing. Prosecutors allege she poisoned Eric with fentanyl twice — once in a sandwich, once in a Moscow Mule that killed him. Five times the lethal dose. Google searches for lethal fentanyl levels and luxury prisons. Texts about wanting Eric to "just go away." Nearly two million in life insurance allegedly taken out without his knowledge. Defense attorney Bob Motta says the prosecution's case has vulnerabilities they can't ignore. The key supplier recanted — now saying he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl, while detoxing. No pills ever recovered. Abuse evidence excluded by the judge. A jail cell letter partially admitted despite the defense calling it manuscript fiction. And Kouri's mother Lisa Darden — whose romantic partner died of an oxycodone overdose in 2006 after naming her as beneficiary — was present the night Eric died. Motta previews every battleground the jury will face.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #KouriRichinsTrial #FentanylMurder #BobMotta #RobertCrozier #DefenseStrategy #SummitCounty #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors say Kouri Richins poisoned her husband Eric with fentanyl, searched for lethal doses online, texted her boyfriend about how perfect life would be without him, and took out nearly two million in life insurance he allegedly didn't know about. Eric had five times the lethal dose in his system. Less than a year later, Kouri was promoting a children's grief book on television. On paper, it looks insurmountable. But Bob Motta says the defense has real weapons. Robert Crozier — the alleged fentanyl supplier — has recanted, now claiming he sold OxyContin and was detoxing when he made his original statement. No pills were ever found in the home. The judge excluded evidence that Eric was allegedly abusive and barred a domestic violence expert, cutting off a key defense narrative. The "Walk the Dog" letter — allegedly witness tampering instructions found in Kouri's jail cell — was partially admitted over the defense's objection that it's fiction from a manuscript. And then there's Kouri's mother, Lisa Darden, whose romantic partner died of an oxycodone overdose in 2006 after naming her as beneficiary. A detective flagged it as suspicious. She was present the night Eric died. Motta breaks down how the defense exploits every crack in this case — and whether it's enough to create reasonable doubt over five weeks of testimony.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #KouriRichinsTrial #FentanylMurder #BobMotta #RobertCrozier #WitnessRecantation #UtahTrial #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

No arrest. No CODIS match. And defense attorney Bob Motta says the mistakes are already stacking up in the future defendant's favor. Crime scene released early. DNA reportedly sent to a private lab instead of the FBI. Evidence gloves contaminated by the search team. Motta explains how it all becomes reasonable doubt. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the psychological dimensions — what sustained pressure does to a perpetrator, the ambiguous loss consuming the family, and whether the massive tip volume is progress or noise drowning the signal.

The man on the porch is on camera. The question is whether the planning profile matches what you're looking at.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. His career was built on understanding the dynamic between the person who directs an operation and the person who executes it. He knows what it looks like when someone acts independently and what it looks like when someone was sent with partial instructions.The footage shows an individual who followed a forensic checklist — mask, gloves, full skin coverage. But he didn't know there was a camera on the front door. His solution was a plant from the garden. We asked Dreeke what that gap reveals about the planning behind this operation. We asked what the sophistication of the operation itself — target selection, camera removal, silent extraction of an 84-year-old who can't walk fifty yards — tells us about whoever planned it, and whether that planning profile matches the person improvising with prairie brush.We asked about the 41-minute timeline gap and what it suggests about coordination during execution. And we asked the question that matters most: when they identify this man, what should investigators and the public watch for to know whether the trail ends with him or leads somewhere else?Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta then breaks down the ransom chaos — multiple notes sent to media outlets, a confirmed imposter already arrested, a family offering six million in Bitcoin, and a president publicly signaling that an arrest may be coming. Motta explains why the ransom landscape is now so contaminated that separating the real from the fake may be nearly impossible. He dissects the FBI's reward language — "and/or the arrest and conviction" — and what it signals about how the bureau views this case.The family says they will pay.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (16/02/2026): A indecisão do governo sobre o futuro da usina de Angra 3 ameaça paralisar a estatal Eletronuclear no mês de março, após uma série de malabarismos para manter o caixa equilibrado, informa Renan Monteiro. Há cerca de R$ 1 bilhão em gastos anuais com a obra parada, sobretudo com o pagamento de parcelas dos financiamentos vinculados a Angra 3. São 14 mil equipamentos sem utilização, o que levou o Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) a citar “desperdício” de R$ 2 bilhões nos últimos dois anos. A crise não tem relação direta com Angra 1 e Angra 2, relevantes para o Sistema Interligado Nacional. Porém, a situação da terceira usina tem efeito sobre toda a estatal, com alertas de risco ao sistema elétrico, no pior cenário. Sem dinheiro para honrar os compromissos, diversos débitos podem vencer antecipadamente, gerando uma bola de neve. E mais: Política: Polarização eleitoral ameaça acordo de Motta com PT por vaga no TCU Economia: Extratos indicam repasses de Vorcaro para empresa de Dias Toffoli Internacional: Obama lamenta ‘circo nas redes’ em seu 1º comentário sobre vídeo racista Metrópole: Apesar do sol e de atrasos, Ibirapuera consolida ‘carnaval da multidão’ em SP Esporte: Imprensa da Noruega exalta ouro brasileiro, mas lamenta saída do atleta: ‘Frustrante’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A participação brasileira na Wine Paris 2026 ganhou destaque entre os expositores internacionais e deixou os produtores brasileiros otimistas. Oito vinícolas de quatro estados – Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Pernambuco – marcaram presença no salão francês, encerrado na quarta-feira (11), que se consolidou como uma das maiores vitrines globais do setor.  Adriana Moysés, da RFI em Paris Com apoio da ApexBrasil, as empresas exibiram a diversidade da viticultura brasileira e comemoraram a boa acolhida de compradores e especialistas europeus. Criada em 2019, a Wine Paris se transformou em um encontro obrigatório do calendário mundial do vinho, que reuniu, no ano passado, mais de 5.400 expositores de 154 países. É essa dimensão, somada ao dinamismo comercial, que tem atraído cada vez mais vinícolas brasileiras. Entre os produtores estreantes, a Salton disse estar impressionada com a magnitude do evento. O gerente de negócios internacionais da vinícola, com sede em Bento Gonçalves (RS), César Baldasso, reconheceu que a Wine Paris superou as expectativas. “A gente está totalmente surpreendido. É uma feira de altíssima qualidade, com um movimento muito grande – e um movimento de qualidade. As reuniões foram excelentes, compradores realmente interessados no Brasil. Saímos daqui certos de que voltaremos no próximo ano”, disse Baldasso. Ele também destacou o papel crescente dos espumantes brasileiros no mercado internacional. “O espumante brasileiro é um grande diferencial, o melhor espumante do hemisfério sul – e, por que não, entre os melhores quando consideramos o Velho Mundo?” Miolo reforça diversidade e aposta no futuro Também gaúcha, a Miolo participou pela segunda vez da Wine Paris. Para Lúcio Motta, líder da área de exportação, o interesse dos compradores segue forte, especialmente pelos espumantes, mas não só. “O espumante é o interesse inicial, mas os tintos e brancos têm procuras similares. Os importadores ficam impressionados com a quantidade de uvas que produzimos e com nossa capacidade de trabalhar em diferentes níveis de preço”, afirmou Motta. Durante a feira, houve um debate sobre as consequências do Acordo Comercial Mercosul–União Europeia, que, ao derrubar as tarifas de importação para zero no caso dos vinhos, pode impactar a competitividade das bebidas nacionais. Atualmente exportando para seis países europeus – França, Itália, Alemanha, República Tcheca, Suécia e Malta –, além de outros mercados pelo mundo, o representante da Miolo encara o futuro com confiança. “A preocupação existe, claro. Mas também vemos uma oportunidade. Quem ainda não exporta precisa começar a pensar nisso, porque o mercado brasileiro ficará mais competitivo. Vamos ter que buscar novos mercados e essa expansão já está no nosso horizonte há 30 anos”, disse Motta. Vinhos de Minas Gerais A Serra da Mantiqueira esteve representada pela Casa Almeida Barreto, que participou pela primeira vez de uma feira internacional. Para Jorge Almeida, a expectativa foi superada. “Muita gente está curiosa para explorar vinhos do Brasil. Trouxemos vinhos jovens, frescos, da safra 2024, sem passagem por barrica, para deixar a fruta falar mais. A altitude de 1.300 metros nos dá acidez alta e complexidade. A resposta tem sido muito positiva”, apontou Almeida. Na mesma região, a vinícola Barbara Heliodora iniciou sua produção há cerca de oito anos e chamou a atenção por ter conseguido desenvolver, em pouco tempo, vinhos complexos e longevos, segundo o sommelier Marcos Medeiros. “A Mantiqueira produz vinhos elegantes e frutados, graças à amplitude térmica. As uvas que melhor se adaptaram foram a sauvignon blanc e a syrah. Desde 2018, fazemos de um rosé delicado a uma Grande Reserva com até 24 meses em carvalho. Os franceses estão adorando – é um vinho diferente, vindo de um país tropical”, comentou o sommelier. Do Vale do São Francisco à capital francesa A pernambucana Verano Brasil mostrou na feira a singularidade da produção no Vale do Rio São Francisco, região do paralelo 8 onde é possível colher uvas o ano inteiro. O diretor comercial Evandro Giacobbo trouxe dois estilos nos rótulos apresentados. "O primeiro, mais despojado, tropical, jovem e refrescante – pensado para encantar um público iniciante. E a linha Garziera, mais tradicional, com varietais de malbec, cabernet sauvignon e chardonnay. É a jovialidade do Vale do São Francisco chegando a Paris”, celebrou.  A Wine Paris 2026 ocupou nove pavilhões no Parque de Exposições da Porte de Versailles. Entre seus corredores movimentados, os produtores brasileiros encontraram não apenas compradores interessados, mas uma verdadeira oportunidade de reposicionar a imagem do Brasil no cenário internacional como um país de diversidade vitivinícola.

Two of the biggest cases in the country. One defense attorney who sees what the public does not. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down the Nancy Guthrie investigation and the Alex Murdaugh appeal — and what both cases reveal about the gap between official narratives and investigative reality.In the Guthrie case, Motta walks through a crime scene that was released and re-entered four times, digital evidence with no video to support it, a sheriff saying no suspects while deputies conduct forensic photography at a family member's home, and a ransom situation that has already been contaminated by confirmed imposters. The Guthrie family has posted four escalating video pleas and offered six million in Bitcoin. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone suggests they have heard nothing. Trump previewed a coming "solution." Motta explains what the evidence and the silence tell a defense attorney.On Murdaugh, oral arguments hit Wednesday with Becky Hill's perjury in the record and the defense arguing the wrong legal standard was applied. If the conviction is reversed, the defense has the full first trial transcript. The financial crimes motive evidence may be excluded. The forensic case has gaps — no DNA, no prints, no blood. And Murdaugh is already serving 67 combined years on financial crimes. Motta explains whether the AG's office actually retries.Bob Motta gives the defense attorney's read on both — and explains what you are not being told.#NancyGuthrie #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #GuthrieRansom #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #BitcoinRansom #CatalinaFoothills #DefenseDiariesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two cases. Two sets of problems the public is not being told about. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to break down the Nancy Guthrie investigation from a defense perspective and walk through what both sides are facing if the Alex Murdaugh conviction is reversed at oral arguments this week.In the Guthrie case, Motta reads between the lines of an investigation where the crime scene was processed, released, and re-entered at least four times. The Nest doorbell evidence has no video to support it. Deputies conducted forensic photography inside the home of Tommaso Cioni — the last person to see Nancy alive — while the sheriff tells the public there are no suspects. The ransom landscape has been contaminated by confirmed imposters. Multiple notes demanding Bitcoin were sent to media outlets. The family has posted four escalating video pleas and offered six million dollars. There has been no confirmed response. President Trump previewed a coming "solution." Motta explains what the investigation's actions, the ransom chaos, and the total silence tell a defense attorney about where this case really stands.On Murdaugh, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday with Becky Hill's perjury in the record and a legal standard dispute that could be dispositive. If the conviction falls, the defense has the full transcript while the prosecution faces exclusion of its motive evidence. The forensic gaps — no DNA, no prints, no blood — become even more exposed. And Murdaugh is already serving 67 combined years on financial crimes.Motta gives the defense attorney's read on both cases and explains what the public is missing.#NancyGuthrie #AlexMurdaugh #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #GuthrieCase #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #BitcoinRansom #TommasoCioni #DefenseAttorneyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers for a two-case episode that starts with the Murdaugh appeal heading to oral arguments Wednesday and extends into a full breakdown of the Nancy Guthrie investigation — reading both cases through the lens of a defense attorney who sees problems the public does not.On Murdaugh, Becky Hill's perjury conviction is now in the appellate record. Three jurors corroborated the tampering allegations. The state chose not to charge tampering. The defense argues Toal applied the wrong legal standard. If the conviction is reversed, the retrial landscape is treacherous for the prosecution — the defense has the full transcript, the financial crimes motive evidence may be excluded, and the forensic case has significant gaps. No DNA, no fingerprints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings. The prosecution retains Maggie's DNA on a shotgun receiver and the kennel video. Motta explains how three years of preparation changes the defense approach to both. And with 67 combined years on financial crimes already locked in, Motta walks through whether the AG's office has the appetite to go again.On Guthrie, Motta breaks down a crime scene that was released and re-entered four times, digital evidence with no video support, a ransom situation contaminated by confirmed imposters, a family posting desperate pleas with no response, and a president previewing an arrest from Air Force One. Two cases that expose what happens when the official story does not match the evidence.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BobMotta #NancyGuthrie #BeckyHill #MurdaughRetrial #DefenseDiaries #KennelVideo #GuthrieCase #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta is LIVE on Hidden Killers with a two-case deep dive. First, he dismantles the Nancy Guthrie investigation — the compromised crime scene, the doorbell camera evidence with no video, the contaminated ransom notes, the family's desperate pleas, and the total silence from whoever may have taken her. Then he walks through the Murdaugh appeal heading to oral arguments Wednesday and explains what a retrial actually looks like if the conviction falls.In the Guthrie case, the crime scene was released and re-entered four times. The sheriff says no suspects while deputies conducted forensic photography at a family member's home. Multiple ransom notes hit media outlets but a confirmed imposter has already been arrested. The family has offered six million in Bitcoin. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone of their latest video suggests no contact has been made. Trump previewed a "solution" from DOJ or FBI. Motta reads every signal.On Murdaugh, Becky Hill's perjury is in the appellate record. The defense argues the wrong legal standard was applied. If the conviction falls, the defense has the full transcript, the financial crimes motive evidence may be excluded, and the forensic gaps are significant. Murdaugh is already serving 27 state and 40 federal. Does the AG retry?Two cases, one defense attorney, every question that matters.

The South Carolina Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday on Alex Murdaugh's appeal — and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the question nobody wants to ask is whether the state even retries this case if the conviction is reversed. On True Crime Today, Motta walks through the legal reality facing both sides and explains why a retrial may be worse for the prosecution than the appeal.Becky Hill's perjury conviction is in the appellate record. Three jurors corroborated the tampering allegations. The state investigated, interviewed all jurors, and chose not to charge Hill with jury tampering. Motta reads that prosecutorial decision as a signal about how confident the state actually is in this verdict's integrity.The defense argues Justice Toal applied the wrong legal standard — requiring proof a juror changed their vote instead of applying the Remmer presumption of prejudice. Motta explains why appellate courts often treat the wrong standard as reversible error regardless of the strength of the underlying evidence.If reversal happens, the defense has every advantage. The full transcript is their roadmap. They know every witness and every prosecutorial strategy. The prosecution faces potential exclusion of the financial crimes testimony that formed their entire motive theory. Without it, this is a purely circumstantial case with forensic gaps — no DNA, no fingerprints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings.Murdaugh is already serving 27 years state and 40 federal for financial crimes. He is not walking out regardless. Motta explains the calculus: does the AG retry a case where the defendant is already locked up for life, a second trial risks new problems, and the original conviction is already stained?#AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #MurdaughRetrial #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #DefenseDiaries #KennelVideo #MurdaughCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four videos. Four escalating pleas. Zero confirmed responses. The Guthrie family is publicly offering six million dollars in Bitcoin for the return of Nancy Guthrie — but criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the ransom landscape in this case may already be too compromised to lead anywhere. On True Crime Today, Motta breaks down every development in the ransom situation and explains what the silence is really telling us.Multiple ransom notes demanding Bitcoin were sent to TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN. Harvey Levin confirmed the wallet address is real and described the original note as carefully constructed. But a man in Los Angeles has already been arrested for sending imposter texts to the Guthrie family referencing the same Bitcoin demand. A second email arrived at KOLD from a different IP address using the same type of anonymous server. Motta explains what it means when the ransom channel has been compromised by copycats before investigators can even verify the original.The family has posted four public videos on Instagram. They started with a request for proof of life. They are now publicly declaring an hour of desperation and saying they will pay. CNN's Andrew McCabe noted the latest video's tone suggests the family has heard nothing from anyone. Motta walks through what that silence tells investigators — and whether it changes the fundamental assumptions about what happened to Nancy.President Trump told reporters Friday that investigators have "very strong clues" and previewed a coming "solution" from DOJ or FBI. Motta explains what it means for the investigation when the president is publicly narrating its direction.The family says they will pay the ransom. The FBI says the decision is theirs. Motta walks through whether Bitcoin can actually be traced, what happens when the money moves, and what the FBI's reward language reveals about how they are framing this case internally.#NancyGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #GuthrieRansom #BitcoinRansom #RansomImposter #GuthrieFamily #TrumpGuthrie #FBIInvestigation #CatalinaFoothillsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Nancy Guthrie investigation is nine days old and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the contradictions between law enforcement's public statements and their actual investigative actions are building a defense case before anyone has even been charged. On today's True Crime Today, Motta breaks down every major development and explains what a defense attorney sees that most people miss.Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona. Blood confirmed as hers was found on the front porch. Her pacemaker stopped transmitting. The Nest doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 AM, and at 2:12 AM the system reportedly detected a person — but no video exists because there was no active subscription. The Pima County Sheriff says there are no suspects, no persons of interest, and no vehicles connected to the case.But the actions on the ground tell a different story entirely. The crime scene was processed, released to the family, and re-entered by FBI agents with canine units at least three additional times. On Day 8, investigators searched the septic tank. Deputies spent hours conducting forensic photography inside the home of Nancy's daughter Annie Guthrie and her husband Tommaso Cioni — the last known person to see Nancy alive — and left carrying evidence bags. A blue SUV was towed from Nancy's property. Gas stations near the foothills are being canvassed for overnight surveillance.The FBI is now jointly running the investigation. President Trump says he is being briefed multiple times daily. Federal digital billboards have been deployed across multiple states. Motta explains what federal involvement signals and how it changes the legal landscape for anyone eventually charged.Bob Motta gives the defense attorney's playbook on every move investigators have made — and what they are not telling you.#NancyGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #GuthrieDisappearance #TommasoCioni #PimaCounty #FBIInvestigation #CatalinaFoothills #SheriffNanos #BreakingCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Pima County Sheriff says there are no suspects in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. But deputies spent hours inside a family member's home conducting forensic photography and left with evidence bags. A vehicle was towed. The septic tank was searched. The FBI took over. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to explain what is really happening in this case — and why the distance between law enforcement's public statements and their investigative actions is the most revealing evidence of all.Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona nine days ago. Her blood was confirmed on the front porch. Her pacemaker went dark. Her Nest doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 AM, and at 2:12 AM the system reportedly detected a person — but there is no video because the family did not maintain an active subscription. Motta breaks down the forensic problems with that detection and explains how it would be challenged in a courtroom.The crime scene has been processed, released to the family, and re-entered by investigators at least four separate times — including FBI agents with canine units. Motta explains why that pattern threatens to undermine anything recovered after the initial release, because the chain of custody argument becomes nearly impossible for prosecutors to win once the scene was returned to civilian access.Tommaso Cioni, Nancy's son-in-law, was the last known person to see her alive. He told investigators he drove her home and made sure she got inside. Law enforcement later conducted forensic photography inside the home he shares with Nancy's daughter Annie Guthrie and departed with evidence bags. Motta walks through the legal rights of someone in that position and the critical mistakes people make when they believe cooperation will clear them.Sheriff Nanos's contradictory public statements are already building a defense file.

Multiple ransom notes. A confirmed imposter. A family offering six million in Bitcoin. And absolute silence from whoever may have taken Nancy Guthrie. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to walk through what is actually happening in this case nine days after Nancy vanished from her Catalina Foothills home — and why the ransom situation may already be beyond salvageable for investigators.Ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin were sent to TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN. Harvey Levin confirmed the wallet address is real and called the note carefully crafted. But a man in Los Angeles was arrested for sending imposter texts to the Guthrie family referencing the same Bitcoin demand. A second email arrived at KOLD from a different IP using the same anonymous server type. Motta explains what happens to an investigation when the ransom channel has been infiltrated by copycats and the real signal is buried in noise.The family has posted four videos on Instagram — each more desperate than the last. They started asking for proof of life. They are now saying they are at an hour of desperation. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone suggests no contact has been made. Motta breaks down what the escalation in those videos and the complete absence of any response tells us about the reality of this case.President Trump told reporters Friday that investigators have "very strong clues" and that a "solution" — not a search — may be coming from DOJ or FBI. Motta explains what it means when a sitting president starts publicly narrating the trajectory of an active investigation.The family has offered to pay the full six-million-dollar ransom. The FBI says the call is theirs. Motta walks through Bitcoin traceability, whether the payment becomes evidence, and what the FBI's reward language — "and/or the arrest and conviction" — reveals about how this case is being framed behind closed doors.#NancyGuthrie #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #RansomNotes #BitcoinRansom #GuthrieFamily #FBIReward #TrumpGuthrie #RansomImposter #CatalinaFoothillsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Oral arguments Wednesday. Becky Hill's perjury in the record. The wrong legal standard potentially applied. And a defense team that now has the entire first trial transcript as a roadmap. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to explain what both sides are actually facing if the Alex Murdaugh conviction is reversed — and why the practical reality of a retrial may be worse for the prosecution than the appeal itself.The defense is invoking Remmer v. United States, arguing that once improper contact between a state actor and jurors is established, prejudice is presumed. Justice Toal applied what appears to be a higher standard — requiring the defense to prove a juror actually changed their vote. Motta explains how appellate courts typically treat the application of an incorrect legal standard and whether this distinction is enough to reverse a conviction where the evidence of guilt was strong.If reversal happens, the defense walks into court knowing everything. Every witness, every exhibit, every decision the prosecution made. Motta explains how much of an advantage that is and what changes in round two. The biggest variable is whether a new judge limits the financial crimes testimony — the prosecution's "gathering storm" motive theory that the defense called a trial within a trial. Without it, this becomes a purely circumstantial murder case with significant forensic gaps.Harpootlian has publicly stated there is no DNA, no fingerprints, no blood on vehicles, clothes, or in the house. The prosecution had Maggie's DNA on a shotgun receiver and the kennel video placing Murdaugh at the scene after he lied. Motta explains how a defense team with three years of preparation dismantles both.Then there is the question nobody wants to ask. Murdaugh is serving 27 state and 40 federal on financial crimes.

Wednesday is the day. The South Carolina Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Alex Murdaugh's appeal and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says what comes after a potential reversal is where the real story begins. On this episode, Motta breaks down the retrial scenario from the inside — what both sides are facing, what evidence survives, and whether the state even has the appetite to go again.Becky Hill's perjury conviction is formally in the appellate record. Three jurors corroborated jury tampering allegations. The state investigated and chose not to charge Hill with tampering — only perjury, obstruction, and misconduct. Motta explains why that decision is one of the most telling details in the entire case and what it signals about the state's confidence in the verdict.The legal standard is at the center of the appeal. The defense invokes Remmer v. United States, which presumes prejudice once improper state-actor contact with jurors is shown. Justice Toal appeared to require the defense to prove a juror actually changed their vote. Motta walks through how appellate courts handle the wrong standard — and whether it matters that the evidence of guilt was strong.If reversal comes, the landscape shifts dramatically. The defense has the complete first trial transcript. They know every witness, every exhibit, every prosecutorial move. The biggest question is whether a new judge excludes the weeks of financial crimes testimony the prosecution used to build motive. Without the "gathering storm" theory, this is a circumstantial murder case with significant forensic gaps — no DNA, no fingerprints, no blood on vehicles, clothes, or in the house linking Murdaugh to the murders. The prosecution retains Maggie's DNA on a shotgun receiver and the kennel video. Motta explains how three years of preparation changes the defense's approach to both.The elephant in the room: 27 years state, 40 federal, already locked in. Even reversal does not mean freedom.

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta is LIVE on Hidden Killers breaking down the ransom developments in the Nancy Guthrie case — and explaining why what should be the investigation's best lead may already be hopelessly compromised. Nine days after Nancy vanished from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona, multiple ransom notes have been sent, a confirmed imposter has been arrested, the family is offering six million in Bitcoin, and there has been zero confirmed contact from whoever may have taken her.Ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin were sent to TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN. Harvey Levin confirmed the Bitcoin address is real. But a Los Angeles man was already arrested for sending imposter texts to the family referencing the same demand. A second email hit KOLD from a different IP using the same type of anonymous server. Motta explains why the existence of multiple senders and confirmed copycats turns the ransom trail into a forensic minefield.The Guthrie family has posted four videos on Instagram, escalating from proof-of-life requests to open desperation. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone indicates the family has received no response. Motta breaks down what the silence means — and whether it changes the calculus of what investigators believe actually happened.President Trump told reporters investigators have "very strong clues" and that something "definitive" is coming — specifically a "solution," not a search. Motta explains the impact of presidential commentary on an active investigation.The family says they will pay six million. The FBI says the decision is theirs. Motta walks through Bitcoin traceability, whether the payment becomes evidence, and what the FBI's "and/or arrest and conviction" reward language tells us about the bureau's internal framing.#NancyGuthrie #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #BitcoinRansom #GuthrieRansom #RansomImposter #TrumpGuthrie #FBIReward #CatalinaFoothills #LiveTrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Court prepares to hear oral arguments Wednesday on Alex Murdaugh's appeal. Motta is walking through the scenario nobody is preparing for — what a retrial actually looks like when the defense has the full transcript, Becky Hill's perjury is in the record, and the prosecution's motive theory may be excluded.Becky Hill was convicted of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct — but the state chose not to charge jury tampering despite three jurors corroborating the allegations. Motta explains what that tells him about the state's confidence in this verdict. The defense argues Toal applied the wrong legal standard at the post-trial hearing, requiring them to prove a juror changed their vote instead of applying the Remmer presumption of prejudice. Motta breaks down whether that distinction alone justifies reversal.If the conviction falls, round two is a completely different fight. The defense knows everything. The prosecution faces potential exclusion of weeks of financial crimes evidence. The forensic case has gaps Harpootlian has loudly highlighted — no DNA, no prints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings. The prosecution has Maggie's DNA on a shotgun receiver and the kennel video. Motta explains how both of those pillars get attacked with three years of preparation.And the biggest question: Murdaugh is already serving 27 state and 40 federal. Even a reversal does not mean freedom. Does the AG actually retry this case — or does a second trial risk exposing more problems than the first?#AlexMurdaugh #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHillPerjury #MurdaughRetrial #SouthCarolina #KennelVideo #DefenseDiaries #LiveTrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta is LIVE on Hidden Killers breaking down every investigative action in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance — and explaining what those moves reveal about where this case is actually heading. Nine days in, the sheriff says no suspects. The evidence trail says otherwise.Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona. Her blood was found on the front porch. Her pacemaker stopped transmitting. Her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 AM. At 2:12 AM, the Nest system reportedly detected a person — but with no active subscription, there is no video. Motta explains why that digital evidence is a forensic minefield and how both sides would fight over it.The crime scene has been entered, released, and re-entered at least four times by investigators including FBI agents with canine units. On Day 8, they searched the septic tank. Bob Motta explains why that pattern could be catastrophic for a future prosecution — every re-entry after the scene was released opens the door to contamination arguments that a defense attorney will exploit relentlessly.Law enforcement spent hours inside the home of Nancy's daughter Annie Guthrie and her husband Tommaso Cioni, who was the last person to see Nancy alive. They conducted forensic photography and left with evidence bags. A blue SUV was towed from Nancy's property. Gas stations in the area are being canvassed for surveillance footage from the overnight window.Sheriff Chris Nanos has made multiple public statements that contradict subsequent investigative actions. He said the home was done being processed before agents returned. He said he did not know the family was posting video pleas until his wife showed him. Motta explains why every one of those contradictions becomes ammunition and what they reveal about the investigation's actual focus.#NancyGuthrie #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #GuthrieCase #TommasoCioni #SheriffNanos #FBISearch #CatalinaFoothills #TucsonAZ #LiveTrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quarta-feira (11): Um ataque a tiros em uma escola de ensino médio em Tumbler Ridge, na província da Colúmbia Britânica, no Canadá, deixou pelo menos dez pessoas mortas, segundo a Polícia Montada Real Canadense (RCMP). Seis vítimas foram encontradas dentro da unidade escolar e outras duas em uma residência ligada ao caso. Uma pessoa morreu a caminho do hospital, enquanto a suspeita foi localizada sem vida dentro da escola. Duas vítimas em estado grave foram transportadas de helicóptero para hospitais, e outras 25 com ferimentos leves recebem atendimento médico. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), defendeu a decisão do ministro do STF Flávio Dino que determinou a revisão dos chamados penduricalhos do funcionalismo público. Durante participação na CEO Conference Brasil 2026, promovida pelo BTG Pactual, Motta afirmou que o magistrado “foi feliz” e ajudou a trazer visibilidade para um tema sensível envolvendo supersalários e benefícios adicionais no setor público. O ex-ministro da Fazenda Maílson da Nóbrega defendeu a atuação do Banco Central no caso envolvendo o Banco Master durante o lançamento de seu novo livro, “O Brasil ainda pode ser um país rico?”. Levantamento divulgado por Futura/Apex nesta terça-feira (10) apresenta projeções para a eleição presidencial de 2026 e indica que o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva aparece atrás do senador Flávio Bolsonaro e do governador Tarcísio de Freitas em simulações de 2º turno. O estudo também avaliou cenários de 1º turno, nos quais Lula empata tecnicamente com Flávio Bolsonaro. As forças dos Estados Unidos posicionaram mísseis em lançadores montados em caminhões na base aérea de Al-Udeid, no Catar, a maior instalação militar americana no Oriente Médio. A movimentação ocorre em meio ao aumento das tensões com o Irã desde janeiro e levanta preocupações sobre uma possível escalada militar na região. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva se reuniu no Palácio do Planalto com o presidente nacional do PSB, João Campos, e ouviu um pedido para que o vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin permaneça na chapa que disputará a reeleição. O encontro ocorre após Lula admitir pela primeira vez a possibilidade de mudanças na composição eleitoral para o próximo pleito. O ministro da Justiça, Wellington César Lima e Silva, afirmou não ver problemas na realização de uma consulta popular sobre a redução da maioridade penal para todos os crimes, sinalizando uma mudança de discurso dentro do governo. Segundo ele, a possibilidade está prevista no substitutivo da PEC da Segurança Pública que ainda está em discussão no Congresso e não representa uma medida imediata. Um estudo do Ipea aponta que a eventual adoção da jornada de 40 horas semanais, com o fim da escala 6x1, pode elevar o custo médio do trabalho celetista em 7,84%. Apesar disso, a nota técnica indica que o impacto total para as empresas tende a ser parcialmente compensado em vários setores da economia. Para falar sobre o assunto, a Jovem Pan entrevista Pedro Facchini, diretor da Abrasel SP. A Polícia Federal deflagrou a terceira fase da Operação Barco de Papel para investigar crimes contra o sistema financeiro e possíveis tentativas de obstrução de investigações. Durante o cumprimento de mandados de busca e apreensão em Balneário Camboriú e Itapema, em Santa Catarina, um dos ocupantes de um apartamento jogou uma mala com dinheiro em espécie pela janela no momento da chegada dos agentes. Além do montante recuperado, a PF apreendeu veículos de luxo e celulares. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Confira no Morning Show desta quarta-feira (11): Aliados do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) afirmam já contar com cinco ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) favoráveis à concessão de prisão domiciliar. Entre os nomes citados estão o presidente da Corte, Edson Fachin, além dos ministros Gilmar Mendes, Luiz Fux, André Mendonça e Kassio Nunes Marques. O Supremo opera atualmente com 10 ministros após a aposentadoria de Luís Roberto Barroso. O ranking global de produtividade do trabalho, realizado com dados da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT), apontou que o Brasil está na 94ª posição, de 184 países. O indicador, que mede quanto cada país gera de riqueza por hora trabalhada, coloca o Brasil (US$ 21,2) atrás de vizinhos sul-americanos como Uruguai, Chile, Argentina e até mesmo de Cuba (US$ 22,6). A distância para as potências é ainda maior: a produtividade brasileira é menos da metade da registrada no Japão (o último do G7) e quatro vezes menor que a dos Estados Unidos, líder do grupo. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), defendeu a discussão. Ele afirmou haver "boa vontade" tanto da base quanto da oposição para debater o tema, citando pesquisas que indicam que quase 80% da população apoia o fim da jornada 6x1. Motta rebateu críticas comparando os "pessimistas" atuais àqueles que, no passado, foram contra o fim da escravidão e a criação da carteira de trabalho, argumentando que o Brasil saiu mais forte e próspero dessas decisões históricas. Levantamento divulgado por Futura/Apex nesta terça-feira (10) apresenta projeções para a eleição presidencial de 2026 e indica que o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva aparece atrás do senador Flávio Bolsonaro e do governador Tarcísio de Freitas em simulações de 2º turno. O estudo também avaliou cenários de 1º turno, nos quais Lula empata tecnicamente com Flávio Bolsonaro. O governo federal pagou R$ 1,7 bilhão em emendas parlamentares em menos de 60 dias. O valor representa um aumento de 163% em comparação ao mesmo período do ano anterior. Um documento do FBI divulgado em nova leva de arquivos do caso Jeffrey Epstein afirma que Donald Trump teria ligado em 2006 para o então chefe de polícia de Palm Beach, na Flórida, comentando o comportamento do bilionário investigado por crimes sexuais. O registro se baseia em entrevista realizada pelo FBI em 2019 com o ex-chefe policial, que disse ter ouvido de Trump que “todo mundo sabia” das acusações contra Epstein e que ficou aliviado com a investigação. O caso da morte de Juliana Bassetto na academia C4 Gym segue com desdobramentos. O Ministério Público abriu inquérito para investigar toda a rede de academias, suspeitando de falta de Auto de Vistoria do Corpo de Bombeiros e alvarás de funcionamento. O ponto mais chocante da apuração envolve o depoimento do manobrista, que atuava improvisado na manutenção da piscina. Mensagens revelam que, ao comunicar a um dos sócios que uma mulher havia passado mal, a resposta foi "paciência". Após a confirmação da morte, o sócio teria enviado outra mensagem: "Acho bom você sair de casa", sugerindo uma fuga. O Ministério Público (MP) solicitou oficialmente à Justiça a exumação do corpo do Orelha, morto em 4 de janeiro, para confirmar a natureza das lesões na cabeça, que indicam agressão por chutes ou pedaços de pau. Além disso, o MP pediu a abertura de uma investigação contra o Delegado Geral da Polícia Civil, Ulisses Gabriel. A promotoria aponta inconsistências na condução do inquérito e investiga uma possível coação dos adolescentes identificados como autores da agressão. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

O debate sobre o fim da escala 6x1 deu um passo decisivo na Câmara dos Deputados. O presidente Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) encaminhou à Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) a Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) que prevê a redução da jornada de trabalho.O texto unifica as propostas da deputada Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) e de Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG), prevendo uma transição gradual que pode levar o Brasil à jornada de 36 horas semanais, com dois dias de descanso obrigatórios para todas as categorias.Meio-Dia em Brasília traz as principais notícias e análises da política nacional direto   de Brasília.     Com apresentação de José Inácio Pilar e Wilson Lima, o programa aborda os temas mais quentes do cenário político e econômico do Brasil.     Com um olhar atento sobre política, notícias e economia, mantém o público bem informado.   Transmissão ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira às 12h.   Apoie o jornalismo independente.

No 3 em 1 desta terça-feira (10), o destaque foi a reação do Congresso à decisão do ministro Flávio Dino, do STF, que suspendeu os chamados “penduricalhos” nos Três Poderes. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), afirmou concordar com a medida, mas defendeu que o reajuste aprovado recentemente para servidores do Legislativo está em linha com as diretrizes da reforma administrativa, em meio às repercussões políticas do tema. A defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) deve apresentar um novo pedido de prisão domiciliar, com base em laudos médicos que apontam comorbidades e riscos à saúde. O anúncio foi feito por Carlos Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) nas redes sociais, após relatório da Polícia Federal sobre as condições clínicas do ex-presidente, o que pode influenciar a decisão do STF. Na esfera internacional, a Justiça italiana rejeitou um recurso da defesa da ex-deputada Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) que pedia a troca de juízes no processo de extradição. Uma nova audiência foi marcada para definir os próximos passos do caso, enquanto Zambelli segue presa na Itália, com possíveis impactos jurídicos e políticos. Cuba vive um apagão generalizado e já declarou situação de emergência diante da grave crise energética que afeta milhões de pessoas. A escassez de combustível, agravada por restrições relacionadas ao embargo dos Estados Unidos, tem provocado colapso em serviços essenciais, queda do turismo e aumento da insatisfação social, ampliando a pressão econômica e política sobre a ilha. No cenário eleitoral, o ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), afirmou que ainda não definiu se disputará as eleições em São Paulo e que continuará dialogando com o presidente Lula (PT) sobre o tema. A possível candidatura no maior colégio eleitoral do país movimenta os bastidores e intensifica as articulações para 2026. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), fez críticas ao presidente francês Emmanuel Macron e ao presidente Lula durante entrevista a uma emissora francesa. Em viagem pela Europa, ele também buscou aproximação com lideranças conservadoras, sinalizando articulações internacionais com foco em 2026. Em debate na Jovem Pan sobre o fim da escala 6x1, o deputado federal Kim Kataguiri (União-SP) e o vice-líder do governo na Câmara, Emanuelzinho Pinheiro (MDB-MT), apresentaram posições divergentes. Pinheiro defendeu a redução de supersalários e a revisão de gastos públicos para aumentar a produtividade, enquanto Kim criticou a proposta e alertou para riscos de aumento da informalidade e de custos para as empresas. Por fim, o governo federal liberou cerca de R$ 1,5 bilhão em emendas parlamentares até a primeira semana de fevereiro de 2026, valor mais que o dobro do registrado no mesmo período do ano passado. A liberação ocorre em meio à retomada dos trabalhos legislativos e às articulações políticas no Congresso. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1. Learn more about your ad choices.

Editorial: Hugo Motta e sua alergia a CPIs

Em um movimento que pegou a cúpula do Congresso de surpresa, o ministro Flávio Dino determinou um prazo de 60 dias para que a Câmara e o Senado apresentem medidas concretas para regulamentar e limitar os "penduricalhos" no serviço público.A decisão ocorre logo após a polêmica aprovação de gratificações que elevam salários a R$ 77 mil, esvaziando o discurso de "autocorreção" de Edson Fachin e colocando o presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta, contra a parede.Meio-Dia em Brasília traz as principais notícias e análises da política nacional direto   de Brasília.     Com apresentação de José Inácio Pilar e Wilson Lima, o programa aborda os temas mais quentes do cenário político e econômico do Brasil.     Com um olhar atento sobre política, notícias e economia, mantém o público bem informado.   Transmissão ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira às 12h.   Apoie o jornalismo Vigilante: 10% de desconto para audiência do Meio-Dia em Brasília   https://bit.ly/meiodiaoa   Siga O Antagonista no X:  https://x.com/o_antagonista   Acompanhe O Antagonista no canal do WhatsApp. Boletins diários, conteúdos exclusivos em vídeo e muito mais.  https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va2SurQHLHQbI5yJN344  Leia mais em www.oantagonista.com.br | www.crusoe.com.br 

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (06): O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), declarou esperar que o presidente Lula (PT) sancione o projeto de reajuste salarial para os servidores públicos. A medida, que já foi aprovada pelos parlamentares no Congresso Nacional, depende agora apenas da assinatura do Executivo para entrar em vigor, garantindo a recomposição nos vencimentos do funcionalismo. O relator da CPI do Crime Organizado, senador Alessandro Vieira (MDB) , protocolou 14 requerimentos de convocação, a lista inclui Viviane Barci de Moraes, esposa do ministro Alexandre de Moraes, citada por um contrato de R$ 9 milhões com o Banco Master. Também foram convocados os irmãos do ministro Dias Toffoli, José Carlos e José Eugênio, suspeitos de participação em um resort no Paraná que teria recebido investimentos de fundos (Reag Trust/CBS) supostamente ligados ao tráfico de drogas. O dono do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, também está na mira. O ex-ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) Marco Aurélio Mello afirmou que é momento de buscar uma “correção de rumo” na Corte, em meio ao debate sobre a criação de um código de conduta para os ministros. A proposta tem provocado divergências internas entre integrantes do Supremo. O presidente Lula (PT) falou pela primeira vez sobre o encontro fora da agenda com o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, realizado no Palácio do Planalto em dezembro de 2024. Segundo Lula, Vorcaro relatou sofrer perseguição política e econômica, enquanto o presidente afirmou que as investigações sobre a instituição serão conduzidas de forma técnica pelo Banco Central, sem influência do governo. A indicação do advogado-geral da União, Jorge Messias, ao STF deve ser aprovada na CCJ (Comissão de Constituição e Justiça) do Senado e em plenário após o Carnaval. A Jovem Pan apurou que a aprovação deve contar até mesmo com o apoio de bolsonaristas que estavam mais resistentes no ano passado. Messias também conta com o apoio de senadores evangélicos. O indicado do presidente Lula (PT) só não foi recebido por apoiadores mais fervorosos do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Cada vez mais perto das eleições gerais de 2026, as articulações políticas começam a ganhar força em Brasília. O MDB deve apoiar a reeleição do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva já no primeiro turno da disputa. A informação foi confirmada pelo ministro das Cidades, Jader Filho, que ressaltou a proximidade da legenda com o Palácio do Planalto. O partido integra a base aliada e apoia o governo federal desde o início do mandato, em 2023. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Alexandre de Moraes, determinou um prazo de 15 dias para que o governo do Rio de Janeiro envie as imagens e registros audiovisuais da megaoperação policial realizada em outubro do ano passado. A ação, que gerou repercussão internacional, resultou em mais de 120 mortes. A Polícia Federal deflagrou a Operação Zona Cinzenta para investigar fraudes envolvendo a autarquia responsável pelo regime próprio de previdência social do estado do Amapá. A apuração, trazida pela repórter Ranny Veloso, aponta irregularidades em investimentos feitos com recursos dos servidores em letras financeiras do Banco Master. Estão sendo cumpridos quatro mandados de busca e apreensão. O Partido Democrata condenou veementemente um vídeo compartilhado pelo presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, em suas redes sociais na última quinta-feira (05). A publicação promove, teorias da conspiração já desmentidas sobre fraudes nas urnas eletrônicas em 2020. No entanto, o ponto mais polêmico foram imagens geradas por inteligência artificial que retratam o ex-presidente Barack Obama e a ex-primeira-dama Michelle Obama como macacos. O ato foi classificado como ofensivo e racista por opositores e analistas políticos. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices.

O ministro Flávio Dino mandou suspender o pagamento de ‘penduricalhos' ilegais no serviço público. A decisão vale para os Três Poderes da República. São verbas extras que permitem supersalários, acima do teto de R$ 46 mil. Na Câmara, o presidente Hugo Motta disse que vai aumentar a verba de gabinete dos deputados. Em meio a divergências, o ministro Edson Fachin decidiu adiar a reunião sobre código de ética no Supremo. O presidente Lula defendeu que ministros do STF tenham mandato, e não cargo por tempo indeterminado. Donald Trump convocou uma aliança internacional sobre terras raras. Chegou ao fim o pacto nuclear da Segunda Guerra Mundial que limitava o arsenal de Rússia e Estados Unidos.

What does the law say about killing someone who was out on bond for alleged crimes against your child and then allegedly kidnapped her? What does it say about using a silencer to allegedly murder your ex-wife years after divorce? Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down two cases that will test justification, premeditation, and reasonable doubt.Aaron Spencer is one week from trial. His daughter was 13 when Michael Fosler allegedly victimized her. Fosler faced 43 felony charges. He posted bond. Three months later, Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's truck at 1 AM and killed him with 16 shots. Prosecutors have body cam footage from months earlier where Spencer allegedly talked about handling things himself. The defense has Arkansas law — which puts the burden on prosecutors to disprove justification beyond a reasonable doubt.Dr. Michael McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder after prosecutors say he used a suppressor to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe while their children slept nearby. The indictment suggests premeditation down to the equipment. But there's no forced entry. No disclosed motive. No documented conflict in the years since the divorce. McKee gave an alibi that fell apart and only invoked silence after arrest.Motta analyzes both: the evidence, the legal standards, and what it takes to win when prosecutors have surveillance footage in one case and an alleged suppressor in the other. Two trials. Two juries. Two different questions about when killing is legally justified — and when reasonable doubt exists.#AaronSpencer #MichaelMcKee #MichaelFosler #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #TrueCrimeToday #MurderTrial #DefenseStrategy #JustificationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If you're defending Michael McKee, you don't need to prove he didn't do it. You need to create reasonable doubt. And this case has gaps.How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? Prosecutors haven't said. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory, but it hasn't been disclosed publicly. That's an opening for the defense.There's no motive on the record. McKee and Monique divorced years ago. Police confirmed there were no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee — no restraining orders, no 911 calls, no documented conflict. The state hasn't explained why a 39-year-old surgeon with no criminal record would allegedly do this now.Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the defense's options. McKee is intelligent, educated, trained in precision. If he allegedly planned a premeditated murder complete with a suppressor, why would he keep the murder weapon in his own apartment? The prosecution's theory and McKee's professional profile don't easily fit together.McKee "disappeared" in the months before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he just vanished. Prosecutors will likely call that consciousness of guilt. The defense might call it a man between jobs with no fixed address.Both victims were shot multiple times. Does that help the defense argue this looks more like rage than calculation — even with the suppressor allegation? Motta analyzes the strategies available and gives his prediction: conviction, acquittal, or hung jury.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #DefenseStrategy #NoForcedEntry #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The suppressor allegation changes everything in the McKee case. Prosecutors allege Dr. Michael McKee used a firearm equipped with a silencer to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe while their young children slept in another room. That's not impulsive violence. That's allegedly planning the murders down to making sure no one would hear the shots.The Franklin County grand jury handed down five counts: four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary. Under Ohio law, proving "prior calculation and design" is required for aggravated murder. The suppressor allegation gives prosecutors a powerful tool to establish premeditation.Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the indictment. Why four counts for two victims? What does the aggravated burglary charge tell us about entry when there's no forced entry documented? And how definitive is the NIBIN ballistics match that's still being called "preliminary"?McKee gave police an alibi before his arrest. It didn't hold up. He only invoked his right to remain silent after the cuffs went on. Those pre-arrest statements could be devastating at trial — but Motta explains what the defense would need to argue for suppression.McKee is 39 years old. A vascular surgeon. No criminal record. No malpractice. His neighbors called him friendly and normal. He's facing a minimum of life with parole after 32 years. Prosecutors have not filed capital specifications — they're not seeking the death penalty. Is that strategy, or does it signal weakness? Motta analyzes.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #Suppressor #AggravatedMurder #OhioIndictment #NIBINMatchJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The indictment against Dr. Michael McKee tells a story of alleged premeditation. Four counts of aggravated murder. One count of aggravated burglary.

It's allegedly making sure no one would hear the shots while the victims' young children slept in another room.Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down what this indictment reveals — and what it doesn't. Under Ohio law, "prior calculation and design" is an element prosecutors must prove for aggravated murder. The suppressor allegation helps them do that. But why four counts for two victims? Motta explains how Ohio structures murder charges and what each count requires.The aggravated burglary charge is significant. It doesn't necessarily mean theft — it suggests prosecutors have a theory about how McKee entered the home. Because there's still no public explanation for how he allegedly got inside with no forced entry.The NIBIN ballistics match linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago apartment to shell casings at the scene is still being called "preliminary." McKee gave police an alibi before his arrest. It didn't hold up. He only invoked his right to remain silent after the cuffs went on.Prosecutors have not filed capital specifications. They're not seeking the death penalty — at least not yet.

Is that consciousness of guilt — or a man between jobs?The suppressor allegation — was it legally owned or illegally obtained? That question matters. Both victims were shot multiple times.

A five-count indictment. Four counts of aggravated murder. One count of aggravated burglary. And the allegation that Dr. Michael McKee used a firearm equipped with a suppressor to kill his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer.Tonight, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to analyze the prosecution's case. What does the suppressor allegation mean for proving "prior calculation and design" under Ohio law? Why four aggravated murder counts for two victims? And what does the aggravated burglary charge tell us about how prosecutors believe McKee entered the home — when there's still no explanation for how he got inside with no forced entry?The NIBIN ballistics match is being called "preliminary."

True Crime Today brings you the defense perspective on the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down where the prosecution's case is weakest — and how reasonable doubt gets built from the wreckage of a flawed investigation.Officer Brendan Miller — the department's digital forensics expert — analyzed 60 devices and concluded Christine Banfield controlled the FetLife account. Not her husband. His findings were peer-reviewed by the University of Alabama and confirmed. Then he was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective who questioned the catfishing theory was reassigned. Prosecutor Eric Clingan was removed after being cited for drinking at 8 a.m.Clingan admitted on the record that 12 homicide detectives had 24 different theories before the au pair gave her proffer. Motta explains exactly how damaging that admission is — and how the defense exploits it in front of a jury.The prosecution treats the framed photo of Brendan and Juliana as a smoking gun. They're using Banfield's IRS background to argue he knew how to stage a crime scene. Motta explains how defense attorneys flip every piece of that narrative.It took 19 months to charge Brendan Banfield. Investigators were transferred. Evidence was excluded. Theories kept changing. Motta identifies where reasonable doubt lives in this case — and what the jury should be thinking about when they walk into deliberations.#BrendanBanfield #BobMotta #TrueCrimeToday #DefenseAttorney #ChristineBanfield #AuPairMurder #ReasonableDoubt #MurderTrial #CriminalDefense #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

True Crime Today brings you the defense strategy for the most important witness in the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the prosecution's case. Without her testimony, they have a forensics expert who contradicted their theory, investigators who were transferred, and 19 months of spinning theories. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains how you destroy her credibility.Juliana spent a year in jail maintaining the same story Brendan told police. Then she flipped. She pleaded to manslaughter.

If you're defending Brendan Banfield, where do you attack first? Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to identify exactly where the prosecution's case falls apart — and how reasonable doubt gets built in a courtroom.The state's own digital forensics expert concluded their catfishing theory was wrong. Officer Brendan Miller found Christine Banfield controlled the FetLife account, not her husband. His work was peer-reviewed by the University of Alabama and confirmed. Then he was transferred. Deputy Chief Brusch allegedly told him he'd never work another digital forensics case. The lead detective was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed after being cited for drinking at 8 a.m.Motta explains how you weave all of that into a narrative of a flawed investigation that a jury can see and understand. Twelve homicide detectives. Twenty-four different theories. No consensus until the au pair gave her proffer after a year in jail.The prosecution is using Banfield's IRS criminal investigator background against him — arguing he knew how to stage a crime scene. Motta explains how the defense flips that narrative and makes it work for Banfield instead.The framed photo of Brendan and Juliana found eight months after the murders looks damning. Motta breaks down how you neutralize evidence the prosecution treats as a smoking gun.Judge Azcarate excluded the child's forensic interview. What does it mean when testimony from someone present during the crime gets blocked?This is what the defense sees when they look at this case.#BrendanBanfield #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #DefenseAttorney #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #AuPairMurder #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefense #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the only reason the prosecution has a case against Brendan Banfield. She's also a woman who lied for a year, flipped when she got a deal, and wrote from jail that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to the man she says she helped commit murder.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to explain how you tear apart a star witness whose credibility is already in shreds.Juliana's sentencing is scheduled after Banfield's trial — to ensure she continues to cooperate. She pleaded to manslaughter. She gets time served. She gets deported to Brazil. Motta explains how you make a jury understand what she bought with her testimony and what it cost her to say the words prosecutors needed to hear.The prosecution is framing Juliana as a reluctant participant who was told it was "too late to back out." Motta dismantles that narrative and explains what the defense should be highlighting instead.Juliana maintained the home invasion story for a full year before changing it. How do you frame that for jurors? Is she a liar who finally told the truth — or a liar who upgraded to a better lie when the price was right?Motta identifies the biggest mistakes defense attorneys make when cross-examining cooperating witnesses — and what Banfield's team needs to avoid. He explains how to weaponize the jailhouse letter and what happens to the prosecution's case if Juliana falls apart on the stand.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #StarWitness #CrossExamination #AuPairMurder #PleaDeal #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
