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?

The prosecution has surveillance footage. A ballistics match. An alleged suppressor. But if you're defending Michael McKee, the holes in this case are where you live.How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? Prosecutors haven't explained it publicly. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory — but until they disclose it, that's a gap the defense can exploit.There's no disclosed motive. McKee and Monique divorced years ago. Police confirmed there were no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee — no 911 calls, no restraining orders, no documented threats. No ongoing disputes. So why would a surgeon with everything to lose allegedly drive to Ohio and kill two people?Defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the defense's options. McKee is a vascular surgeon. Intelligent. Educated. Trained in precision. The prosecution's theory requires him to allegedly commit premeditated murder, use a suppressor — and then keep the murder weapon in his own apartment. How does the defense reconcile that with the profile of a careful, calculating person?McKee "disappeared" in the months before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he just vanished. The prosecution might call that consciousness of guilt. The defense might call it a man moving between jobs.Both Spencer and Monique were shot multiple times. Does the manner of the killings help or hurt the defense? Could they argue this looks more like rage than premeditation — even with the suppressor allegation?

The indictment against Dr. Michael McKee tells a story of alleged premeditation. Four counts of aggravated murder. One count of aggravated burglary. And the allegation that McKee used a firearm equipped with a suppressor to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe.A silencer changes this case. It's not impulsive. It's not rage. 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. Motta analyzes what that decision tells us: is it strategic, or does it suggest they see weaknesses in their case?#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #Suppressor #AggravatedMurder #OhioLaw #ProsecutionCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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." McKee gave police an alibi before his arrest that didn't hold up. He only invoked silence after the cuffs went on. Motta explains how damaging those pre-arrest statements could be at trial — and whether the defense has any chance of getting them suppressed.McKee is a 39-year-old vascular surgeon with no criminal record, no malpractice, no disciplinary actions. His neighbors described him as friendly, normal — the guy who chatted at the pool. Now 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. At least not yet.

The prosecution has surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and an alleged suppressor. But tonight we're looking at the McKee case from the defense's perspective — because every case has holes, and this one has several.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to analyze the gaps prosecutors still haven't filled. How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? No broken windows. No kicked-in doors. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory — but what is it?There's no disclosed motive. No prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee. No restraining orders. No 911 calls. No documented conflict in the years since the divorce. If you're the defense, do you lean into that — argue the state can't explain why your client would do this?McKee is a surgeon. Intelligent. Educated. His career is built on precision. The prosecution's theory requires him to allegedly drive to Ohio, use a suppressor to commit murder — and then keep the murder weapon in his apartment. How does a defense team reconcile that with the profile of someone who plans meticulously?McKee "disappeared" before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he vanished. 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. Does that help or hurt the defense?Motta predicts where this case goes: conviction, acquittal, or hung jury — and what McKee's team needs to do to create reasonable doubt.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #TepeMurders #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?

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. She gets time served. She goes home to Brazil. Her sentencing is scheduled after Banfield's trial — to ensure she continues to cooperate. From jail, she wrote to her mother that she was "heartbroken for doing this to Brendan" and that she loved him.Motta breaks down how you use that letter on cross-examination. He explains how to frame her year-long lie for the jury — is she someone who finally told the truth, or someone who changed lies when the deal was right?The prosecution reduced her charge from second-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. Motta explains how to make the jury understand the magnitude of what she received in exchange for her testimony.The prosecution is positioning Juliana as a reluctant participant. Motta dismantles that framing. He identifies the biggest mistakes defense attorneys make with cooperating witnesses — and what happens to the state's case if Juliana falls apart on the stand.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #TrueCrimeToday #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?

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?

We're going LIVE with defense attorney Bob Motta to examine the Brendan Banfield case from the perspective prosecutors don't want you to see. Where does this case bleed? Where does reasonable doubt get built? What should the defense be hammering in that courtroom?The prosecution's own digital forensics expert contradicted their catfishing theory — and was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective who questioned the theory was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed. Twelve homicide detectives had 24 different theories until Juliana Peres Magalhaes gave her proffer after sitting in jail for a year.Motta explains how a skilled defense attorney weaves all of this into a narrative that makes jurors question everything the state is selling. He breaks down how to neutralize the framed photo evidence, how to flip Banfield's law enforcement background from liability to asset, and what it means that Judge Azcarate excluded the child's forensic interview.The prosecution needed 19 months to charge Brendan Banfield. They've had investigators transferred, experts silenced, and prosecutors removed. Motta tells you what reasonable doubt looks like in a case with this many problems.We're taking your questions live.

We're going LIVE with defense attorney Bob Motta for Part 2 of our deep dive into the Brendan Banfield case. This time: how do you destroy a star witness whose freedom depends on conviction?Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the prosecution's entire case. She spent a year in jail telling police the same story Brendan did — then flipped when she got a deal that sends her home to Brazil. Her sentencing is scheduled after Banfield's trial to make sure she keeps cooperating. From jail, she wrote that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan and that she still loved him.Motta explains exactly how the defense should attack. How do you frame a year-long lie for the jury? How do you weaponize the jailhouse letter on cross? How do you make jurors understand that Juliana traded her testimony for a plane ticket home?The prosecution claims Juliana was reluctant and was told it was "too late to back out."

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (13): Os Estados Unidos emitiram nesta segunda-feira (12) um alerta oficial recomendando que cidadãos americanos deixem o Irã imediatamente, diante da intensificação dos protestos contra o regime e do agravamento do cenário de segurança. O Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) e o Banco Central adotaram um tom mais cauteloso diante da polêmica envolvendo o Banco Master, sinalizando que qualquer indenização a investidores só será avaliada após a conclusão de uma inspeção técnica. A apuração, que deve durar cerca de um mês, busca esclarecer a real situação da instituição antes de decisões definitivas. Denise Campos de Toledo analisou. A presidente do México, Claudia Sheinbaum, afirmou em conversa telefônica com o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, que a presença de tropas americanas em território mexicano “não está em discussão”. O posicionamento ocorre após Trump ameaçar uma possível intervenção militar para combater cartéis de drogas no México. A defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro apresentou um novo recurso ao Supremo Tribunal Federal contra a condenação de 27 anos e três meses de prisão por envolvimento na chamada trama golpista. No agravo regimental enviado ao ministro Alexandre de Moraes, os advogados pedem a reconsideração da decisão que rejeitou recursos anteriores ou, caso isso não ocorra, que o caso seja analisado pelo plenário da Corte. A Anvisa aprovou o uso do lenacapivir injetável como nova opção de profilaxia pré-exposição (PrEP) contra o HIV no Brasil. O medicamento, de longa duração, surge como alternativa às pílulas orais e é indicado para adultos e adolescentes a partir de 12 anos, com pelo menos 35 kg, que estejam em risco de infecção. Para iniciar o uso, é obrigatório testar negativo para o vírus. A Polícia Federal deflagrou nesta terça-feira (13) uma nova fase da Operação Overclean, que tem como alvo o deputado federal Félix Mendonça Jr. (PDT-BA). A investigação, realizada com apoio da CGU e da Receita Federal, apura a atuação de uma organização criminosa suspeita de desviar emendas parlamentares, além de práticas de corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), afirmou que aguarda um gesto do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva para definir seu apoio na disputa ao Planalto. Em entrevista, Motta destacou que a política é baseada em reciprocidade. O governo da Groenlândia afirmou nesta segunda-feira (12) que não aceitará, sob nenhuma circunstância, qualquer tentativa dos Estados Unidos de se apoderarem do território. Diante do aumento das tensões geopolíticas no Ártico, as autoridades locais anunciaram que irão intensificar os esforços diplomáticos e militares para garantir a defesa da ilha por meio da Otan. Uma autoridade do governo do Irã afirmou à agência Reuters que cerca de 2 mil pessoas, incluindo integrantes das forças de segurança, morreram em apenas duas semanas de protestos no país. A declaração marca a primeira vez que representantes ligados ao regime dos aiatolás reconhecem publicamente a dimensão das mortes causadas pela repressão às manifestações.

Defense attorney Bob Motta provides legal analysis on the Sarah Grace Patrick case after the murder trial was delayed from January 2026 to August 2026.Sarah Grace Patrick, now 17, faces two counts of murder in the deaths of her mother Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather James Brock, 45. The couple was shot in their bed in Carroll County, Georgia on February 20th, 2025. Patrick was arrested in July 2025 after authorities announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her. She has been held without bond since her arrest.The January 5th, 2026 trial date was vacated after prosecutors indicated they would need time to review a forensic neuropsychologist's evaluation prepared by the defense and potentially retain their own expert. Judge Dustin Hightower moved the trial to August 3rd, 2026, but warned there would be "slim to none" chance of another delay.Bob Motta discusses the implications of this delay for both sides. He examines why the prosecution's need for additional time raises questions about the strength of their case. He addresses the earlier denial of the defense's continuance motion and whether the court is applying different standards.Motta also analyzes the evidence questions that remain unanswered — no recovered murder weapon, no publicly disclosed forensics, and prosecution claims about disabled cameras that have not been proven. He offers perspective on how social media behavior is being used to build a narrative against a teenage defendant and whether that constitutes actual evidence.What should we expect between now and August?

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to break down the seven-month delay in the Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial—and what that delay may reveal about the prosecution's case.Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of her mother, Kristin Brock, and stepfather, James Brock, inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. The couple was found shot in their bed on February 20, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Five months later, she was arrested after the Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced it had “mountains of evidence” against her.The trial was scheduled to begin January 5, 2026. It did not.Instead, Judge Dustin Hightower continued the case to August 3, 2026, after prosecutors told the court they needed additional time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially retain their own expert to rebut it. Notably, the judge had anticipated this possibility weeks earlier, instructing the state in December to alert the court if it would need a continuance.That context matters. The defense previously sought its own continuance, citing incomplete discovery. That request was denied after the court ruled the state was in compliance. When the prosecution asked for more time, however, it was granted a seven-month delay.Motta examines what this procedural imbalance may signal about the strength of the state's case. To date, no murder weapon has been produced. No firearm was recovered at the scene. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the shootings has been publicly disclosed. Prosecutors have alleged in filings that home security cameras were disabled prior to the shootings—but those claims remain unproven allegations, not established facts.We also discuss the powerful social-media narrative that has developed around this case and whether a teenager's TikTok activity can—or should—be treated as evidence of homicide. Finally, Motta outlines what both sides will be preparing for as the case now heads toward its August 2026 trial setting.#SarahGracePatrick #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TrialDelay #CriminalDefense #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrockJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (19):O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta, afirmou que caberá ao Supremo Tribunal Federal decidir, caso a caso, quais condenados pelos atos de 8 de Janeiro poderão ser beneficiados pelo PL da dosimetria aprovado pelo Congresso. Segundo ele, a aprovação do texto não garante benefício automático e o Judiciário analisará individualmente cada conduta. Motta também indicou que ministros participaram das negociações para viabilizar o acordo. O presidente Lula (PT) afirmou que vetará o PL da dosimetria assim que o texto chegar à sua mesa e minimizou a possibilidade de o Congresso derrubar a decisão. Em declaração pública, o chefe do Executivo adotou tom de confronto ao dizer que, se os parlamentares quiserem, poderão derrubar o veto. O projeto trata da redução de penas ligadas aos atos de 8 de Janeiro. A Polícia Federal investiga os deputados Sóstenes Cavalcante e Carlos Jordy, ambos do PL, por suspeita de desvio de recursos da cota parlamentar. A operação apura um suposto esquema envolvendo assessores e uma empresa de fachada de locação de veículos. Na casa de Sóstenes, foram encontrados R$ 430 mil em espécie, valor que o parlamentar afirma ser proveniente da venda de um imóvel. Jordy classificou a ação como perseguição política. O ex-deputado Eduardo Bolsonaro afirmou que sua ida aos Estados Unidos “valeu muito a pena”, mesmo após a cassação do mandato pela Mesa Diretora da Câmara. Segundo ele, a perda do cargo não tem relação com crimes como corrupção ou tráfico, mas com o cumprimento do papel esperado por seus eleitores. Eduardo também criticou integrantes da Mesa Diretora e disse não ver a decisão como derrota. O ex-vereador do Rio de Janeiro Carlos Bolsonaro (PL) afirmou que manterá sua candidatura ao Senado por Santa Catarina, mesmo com a abertura de uma vaga no Rio de Janeiro. Segundo ele, a decisão segue orientação do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro e faz parte de um projeto de fortalecimento da direita no Senado. A escolha causou divisão entre aliados, já que a deputada Carol de Toni foi preterida pelo PL e deve disputar a vaga por outra sigla. O presidente da Colômbia, Gustavo Petro, rejeitou uma cooperação militar com a Venezuela após Nicolás Maduro convocar forças colombianas a se unirem ao seu regime contra os Estados Unidos. Apesar de manter apoio político ao governo venezuelano, Petro afirmou que as tropas do país não recebem ordens estrangeiras e negou apoio a ditaduras. A declaração expôs tensões e contradições dentro da esquerda latino-americana. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

No 3 em 1 desta sexta-feira (19), o destaque foi que, após ter o mandato cassado pela Mesa Diretora da Câmara dos Deputados, Eduardo Bolsonaro se manifestou sobre a decisão e afirmou que sua atuação parlamentar e as viagens aos Estados Unidos “valeram muito a pena”. A Polícia Federal deflagrou nesta sexta-feira (19) a Operação Galho Fraco, que investiga o suposto desvio de recursos públicos da cota parlamentar. Os deputados Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL) e Carlos Jordy (PL) foram alvos de busca e apreensão. Além disso, o ministro Flávio Dino determinou a quebra do sigilo dos dois parlamentares. Segundo a investigação, o esquema funcionaria por meio de contratos com locadoras de veículos. Reportagem: André Anelli. A perícia médica realizada a pedido do ministro Alexandre de Moraes concluiu que o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) precisa passar por um procedimento cirúrgico. O laudo aponta que Bolsonaro apresenta uma hérnia inguinal bilateral e necessita de tratamento especializado. O Congresso Nacional aprovou, nesta sexta-feira (19), o projeto de lei do Orçamento de 2026. O texto final garante a destinação de R$ 61 bilhões para emendas parlamentares. A proposta ainda depende de sanção do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), fez um balanço das atividades legislativas e afirmou ter “limpado” o ano de 2025 com as recentes cassações e a aprovação do PL da Dosimetria. Ao comentar as investigações contra parlamentares, Motta declarou que a Câmara “não tem compromisso em proteger erros”. Reportagem: André Anelli. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1.

Reportagem: Fabrízio Neitzke.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (11):O estado de São Paulo enfrenta um cenário de caos após a passagem de um ciclone extratropical: mais de 1 milhão de imóveis seguem sem energia há mais de 30 horas e mais de 380 voos foram cancelados. Ventos de quase 100 km/h derrubaram mais de 1.500 árvores e apagaram mais de 200 semáforos, causando 900 km de congestionamento. A Enel afirma que trechos inteiros da rede foram destruídos, enquanto o Procon cobra respostas imediatas. O presidente Lula (PT) telefonou para Nicolás Maduro para expressar preocupação com a escalada militar dos Estados Unidos no Caribe e oferecer apoio diplomático. Segundo o Itamaraty, o diálogo foi cordial e buscou reforçar o papel do Brasil como possível mediador entre EUA e Venezuela. Lula também questionou Donald Trump sobre a intenção de atacar o país vizinho, alertando para impactos em toda a América Latina. O presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta, enfrentou uma derrota dupla e ficou isolado após fracassar na tentativa de cassar os mandatos de Glauber Braga e Carla Zambelli. A condução das votações irritou governo, oposição e até aliados do centrão, incluindo Arthur Lira, que afirmou que Motta “está perdido” e ouviu “as pessoas erradas”. A avaliação interna é de que o presidente deveria ter adiado as decisões. O senador Esperidião Amin (PP-SC), relator da dosimetria no Senado, afirmou que nada impede a inclusão de uma emenda para retomar a anistia aos envolvidos no 8 de Janeiro. Amin disse ser favorável ao perdão, mas não garantiu que colocará a medida em seu relatório. Ele considera provável que outro parlamentar apresente a proposta. A Câmara aprovou o texto após acordo para deixar a anistia fora da pauta. A Câmara dos Deputados deve rejeitar as mudanças feitas pelo Senado no PL Antifacção, após o texto ser alterado pelo relator Alessandro Vieira a pedido do governo. O projeto, que inclui taxação de bets para financiar ações contra o crime organizado, foi classificado como “mutilado” por parlamentares. Deputados também devem avançar com a PEC da Segurança Pública na próxima semana. O presidente Lula (PT) minimizou a pré-candidatura do senador Flávio Bolsonaro à Presidência e ironizou a oposição. Ao comentar a disputa eleitoral, o petista afirmou que “quem inventa muito nome é porque não tem nenhum”. Nos bastidores, o governo avalia como remota a chance de Flávio consolidar a candidatura e considera Tarcísio de Freitas o nome mais competitivo da direita para 2026. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro enfrentou resistência ao pedir apoio do Centrão para sua pré-candidatura à Presidência. Em jantar com Ciro Nogueira e Antônio Rueda, o parlamentar ouviu que seu nome enfrenta alta rejeição e que Tarcísio de Freitas seria a opção mais competitiva para a direita. Apesar da pressão, Flávio afirmou que sua candidatura é irreversível. Os líderes prometeram consultar suas bancadas antes de definir apoio. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta sexta-feira, 12, Carlos Andreazza comenta sobre anulação feita pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes da decisão da Câmara dos Deputados que rejeitou a cassação da deputada Carla Zambelli e deu 48 horas para que o presidente da Casa, Hugo Motta, dê posse ao suplente da parlamentar. Além disso, Moraes solicitou que o presidente da Primeira Turma, ministro Flávio Dino, agende uma sessão virtual nesta sexta-feira, das 11h às 18h para referendar a decisão. Mais cedo, o Estadão já havia apontado a intenção do STF de derrubar a decisão. O ministro afirmou que, por tal razão, trata-se de “ato nulo, por evidente inconstitucionalidade, presentes tanto o desrespeito aos princípios da legalidade, moralidade e impessoalidade, quanto o flagrante desvio de finalidade”.

Confira no Morning Show desta sexta-feira (12): Em uma escalada de tensão, o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes anulou a decisão de Hugo Motta de manter Carla Zambelli no mandato, reacendendo a crise entre Judiciário e Legislativo. A bancada do Morning Show debate as implicações jurídicas e o enfraquecimento político do presidente da Câmara. O criminoso Beto Louco quer um acordo de delação premiada e promete citar nomes de influência nacional ligados ao PCC, no entanto, a Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) ainda não aceitou o acordo. O Morning Show analisa a resistência da PGR e a bomba política que pode estourar, especialmente após a PF deflagrar uma operação envolvendo desvio de emendas parlamentares. O Presidente Lula anunciou que deve vetar o Projeto de Lei da Dosimetria, uma resposta do Legislativo às penas dos atos de 8 de Janeiro, mas que o Senado pode aprovar com uma anistia. A bancada do Morning Show debate o embate entre Executivo e Congresso e o risco da lei, por ser geral e impessoal, beneficiar criminosos violentos. A PF e o STF miram a Câmara dos Deputados em uma operação por desvio de emendas parlamentares e uma assessora ligada ao ex-presidente da Casa Arthur Lira é o alvo da ação. O Morning Show debate o escândalo da Operação Transparência e a influência do poder político nas investigações. Reportagem: Igor Damasceno. O apagão em São Paulo, que já ultrapassa 50 horas, expõe a ineficiência da Enel e a polêmica política sobre a concessão. Em meio ao caos, a crise se agrava com a denúncia chocante de funcionários parceiros cobrando até R$2.500 de propina para restabelecer a energia. A bancada do Morning Show debate o prejuízo milionário para o comércio, a falta de previsão da concessionária e a urgência de uma resposta para os quase 800 mil imóveis afetados na cidade. Os Estados Unidos intensificam a pressão econômica e militar sobre a Venezuela, apreendendo petroleiros em águas internacionais sob a justificativa de combater o tráfico. Enquanto o ditador Nicolás Maduro promete retaliar na Justiça, o Morning Show debate se a ação é uma campanha de pressão legítima ou uma manobra arriscada que ignora a soberania e a lei internacional. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta quinta-feira, 11, Carlos Andreazza comenta sobre a recusa do ministro Gilmar Mendes de sua própria decisão, ao suspender o trecho que restringiu à Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) o direito de pedir impeachment dos supremos ministros e aceitou aguardar que o Congresso legisle sobre o tema. O colunista também comenta sobre a pré-candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) à Presidência da República que tende a produzir um efeito colateral positivo para Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), avaliam aliados do governador ouvidos reservadamente pelo Estadão. A principal leitura é que a entrada de Flávio no páreo tira Tarcísio dos holofotes num momento em que ele havia se tornado alvo preferencial do PT. Como mostrou o Estadão, o partido resistia a antecipar um embate com o governador de São Paulo, mas mudou de ideia após Tarcísio se envolver diretamente em pautas nacionais.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (09):O presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, propôs a criação de um código de conduta para ministros da Corte, gerando resistência interna. O texto prevê regras sobre participação em eventos privados, transparência de valores e conflitos de interesse. A discussão ocorre enquanto o Senado analisa a nova Lei de Impeachment. O deputado federal Glauber Braga (PSOL-RJ) ocupou a Mesa Diretora da Câmara e se recusou a deixar o local nesta terça-feira. Após a atitude, policiais legislativos começaram a esvaziar o plenário e a TV Câmara interrompeu a transmissão. O presidente da Casa, Hugo Motta, afirmou que será analisada uma possível cassação do mandato. O deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro deve perder o mandato após decisão da Mesa Diretora da Câmara, segundo o presidente da Casa, Hugo Motta. Ele afirmou que a punição será determinada por faltas superiores a um terço das sessões. Além disso, Motta informou que também serão liberadas para votação as possíveis perdas de mandato de Carla Zambelli e Alexandre Ramagem. O presidente nacional do PT, Edinho Silva, minimizou a pré-candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro e disse que o movimento não dá para levar a sério. Para a base aliada do governo, ninguém se lança candidato em um dia e no outro negocia a retirada do nome. Aliados avaliam que o candidato da direita só será definido em maio ou junho de 2026. Em busca de apoio político, o pré-candidato Flávio Bolsonaro afirmou ter os mesmos princípios do pai, Jair Bolsonaro, mas disse ser mais centrado e moderado. Ele minimizou a reação do mercado e declarou que pretende montar um “time de referências” para a campanha. Já Carlos Bolsonaro criticou o Centrão, acusando o bloco de atuar em defesa do mercado financeiro e manter controle sobre verbas e poder em Brasília.O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou que os dias de Nicolás Maduro no comando da Venezuela “estão contados”. Em entrevista, ele evitou confirmar ou negar uma possível invasão terrestre, alegando tratar-se de questão estratégica. Trump também declarou que considera ações militares no México e na Colômbia devido ao fluxo de drogas na região. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

No 3 em 1 desta quarta-feira (10), o destaque foi que o Projeto de Lei (PL) da Dosimetria foi aprovado na Câmara dos Deputados na madrugada desta quarta-feira (10), após uma votação relâmpago marcada por confusão generalizada, provocada pela ocupação da cadeira pelo deputado Glauber Braga (PSOL). O texto segue agora para o Senado Federal, onde deve ser votado na próxima quarta-feira (17). Além disso, a CCJ do Senado aprovou o PL Antifacção. Reportagem: André Anelli. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), afirmou que o discurso do PT contra o PL da Dosimetria representa uma “incoerência histórica”. Motta rebateu Lindbergh Farias (PT) por citar Ulysses Guimarães, alegando que o PT votou contra a Constituição de 1988. Já o presidente Lula (PT) minimizou as desavenças na Câmara e disse que elas são próprias da democracia.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most surreal and unsettling trials in modern American true crime — the Arizona murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called Doomsday Mom who's decided to defend herself in court while accused of orchestrating the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. This episode pulls listeners straight into the Chandler, Arizona home where it all happened: two bullets, one body, and forty-seven silent minutes before anyone called for help. Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) dissect the prosecution's opening narrative — one of delusion, greed, and cold calculation — and the defense's bizarre self-representation strategy that's turning the courtroom into a psychological sideshow. Prosecutors allege Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles for a $1 million life insurance payout and to clear the way to marry her apocalyptic “soulmate,” Chad Daybell. The evidence? Texts invoking scripture to justify murder (“I will be like Nephi”), phone records revealing coordination, and chilling forensic details showing Charles was shot twice — the second bullet fired downward after he collapsed. Firefighters testified the scene looked staged: no CPR, no struggle, and an eerily spotless floor. Lori, meanwhile, was running errands — Burger King, Walgreens, dropping off her son — as her husband's body cooled on the tile. But this isn't just about evidence; it's about ego and delusion on trial. Motta breaks down Lori's decision to act as her own lawyer — fumbling through legal jargon, cross-examining witnesses who seem to know more law than she does, and repeatedly trying to exclude “inconvenient” evidence from the record. As he puts it, Lori's courtroom presence is “less Harvard Law, more hostage to her own hubris.” The prosecution, for its part, is playing this round differently — keeping the talk of “zombies” and dark spirits to a minimum while focusing on motive, money, and manipulation. The goal: strip away the spiritual theatrics and reveal the human greed underneath.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting the shocking new evidence and eerie imagery redefining the case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in one of the most haunting crimes of the decade. In this special combined episode, Tony Brueski is joined by Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect the revelations that turned a complex case into a potentially airtight one. First, the receipts — literally. Prosecutors say Kohberger bought the exact model of knife and sheath found at the crime scene months before the murders. The order allegedly came straight from Amazon, complete with a matching knife sharpener that looks suspiciously like a vacuum attachment. It's the kind of detail that might sound absurd if it weren't so chilling. Tony and Motta break down how this discovery — paired with the bizarre thumbs-up bathroom selfie allegedly taken hours after the killings — creates a psychological portrait of someone who wasn't just methodical, but disturbingly proud. Was the selfie a trophy? A taunt? Or the self-satisfied smirk of a man who believed he'd gotten away with it? Then, Faddis brings the legal heat — explaining why this evidence could be devastating for the defense, how the alleged receipts demolish claims of “planted evidence,” and what the prosecution will do with a timeline that screams premeditation. Could Kohberger's team still angle for a plea deal to avoid the death penalty? Or has this case already crossed the line into the inevitable? Beyond the evidence, Tony and his guests explore the deeper question: Why document your own destruction? From online purchases to photos, the alleged digital breadcrumbs reveal a mindset obsessed with control — and undone by it.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the most jaw-dropping courtroom sagas of the year — the unraveling of Donna Adelson, the 75-year-old grandmother accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot that took the life of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. In two of the year's most explosive episodes, Tony Brueski sat down with both Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to break down how a once-untouchable matriarch's arrogance and denial helped destroy her family's last shred of credibility. Donna's courtroom appearance was supposed to humanize her. Instead, it showcased the same manipulative charm and self-delusion that prosecutors say fueled her alleged role in the murder conspiracy. From the stand, she painted herself as a frail victim of “inhumane jail conditions” — right before prosecutors rolled out recorded jailhouse calls in which she and her son Charlie Adelson discuss potential escape routes and non-extradition countries. Oops. Motta dissects the strategic disaster of Donna testifying at her own bond hearing — a move that may go down as one of the biggest self-inflicted wounds in recent courtroom history. Coffindaffer takes it even deeper, exposing the psychology behind Donna's belief that she could still talk her way out of accountability, decades after manipulating everyone around her. From family loyalty turned liability to delusion on display, this episode captures the full scope of Donna's implosion — and what it means for the rest of the Adelson family heading into the next phase of legal battles. Will she ever take a plea? Could she flip on her daughter Wendi? Or does Donna still believe she can win the game — even when the board's already on fire?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most jaw-dropping chapters in the ongoing Bryan Kohberger case — the digital trail that may have done what he allegedly couldn't avoid in person: exposing him completely. Investigators say Kohberger, the Ph.D. criminology student accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, may have left behind more than DNA on a knife sheath — he may have left a shopping list. A damning set of online purchases allegedly includes a K-Bar knife, matching sheath, and sharpening tool — all conveniently ordered from Amazon. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski teams up with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) to dissect the chilling implications of the so-called “Amazon Evidence.” If true, this isn't just forensic coincidence — it's a psychological signature. Dreeke dives into what these purchases reveal about a possible obsessive, methodical mindset: someone fascinated by control, process, and precision. But in his precision, perhaps also arrogant — believing intellect could outsmart technology. Then, Motta joins Tony to examine how this alleged evidence fits into the broader defense battle. Could the prosecution argue that Kohberger's shopping habits show premeditation? Or can the defense spin it as circumstantial — just a “collector's curiosity” in military blades? And yes — that infamous thumbs-up shower selfie allegedly taken hours after the murders makes its appearance. Motta and Brueski unpack the surreal combination of vanity, detachment, and potential trophy-taking behavior. It's the kind of moment that would be laughable, if it weren't so horrifying. Together, they explore the haunting question that lingers behind every piece of evidence: Was this a one-time act of obsession, or a rehearsal for something darker?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most chilling and dysfunctional family dramas ever to play out in a courtroom — the Adelson saga, where murder, money, and manipulation collided in one of Florida's most unforgettable true crime stories. In this combined special, Tony Brueski sits down with Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) to dissect the bizarre downfall of Donna Adelson and the lingering shadow of her daughter Wendi. First: Donna's bond hearing — a spectacle of self-pity and denial. The 75-year-old matriarch tried to paint herself as a fragile grandmother “suffering” in jail, lamenting her lack of comfort and care. But prosecutors came armed with something far more powerful than sympathy: her own voice. Recorded jailhouse calls revealed conversations about potential escape plans, non-extradition countries, and a near-miss flight to Vietnam. Suddenly, Donna's bedtime complaints didn't sound so innocent. Motta and Brueski break down how Donna's decision to testify at her own hearing became one of the most catastrophic legal moves of the year — and how her own words could now be used against her at trial. They also explore the psychology of control and entitlement that defined the Adelson family long before Dan Markel's murder. Then the focus shifts to Wendi Adelson — the woman at the center of the storm who, despite being labeled an unindicted co-conspirator, has never been charged. We unpack the evidence, the custody battles, and the infamous “hitman joke” that prosecutors say revealed more than she intended. Why has Wendi remained free while those around her — from Charlie to Donna to the hitmen — have all fallen? And could new evidence from Donna's upcoming trial finally change that? It's a tale of arrogance, privilege, and self-destruction — a family that believed intellect and influence could bend justice, only to watch it snap back with a vengeance.
