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

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

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

Today I am finally able to walk through the 1824 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling Updegraph v. Commonwealth. This court decision, just a few pages long, serves (in my humble opinion) as one of the best arguments in support of blasphemy laws. The judge who rendered the decision, Justice Duncan, argues both that Christianity is part of the common law of Pennsylvania and that the U.S. Constitution does not negate that reality. He looks at both English and American legal history to substantiate his argument.

This Day in Legal History: District of Columbia Suffrage ActOn this day in legal history, January 8, 1867, the U.S. Congress overrode President Andrew Johnson's veto to enact the District of Columbia Suffrage Act. This landmark legislation granted African American men the right to vote in the nation's capital, making it the first federal law to extend voting rights to Black men. This milestone occurred three years before the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which would prohibit racial discrimination in voting nationwide.  The Act was a significant step during the Reconstruction era, as the United States grappled with integrating millions of formerly enslaved individuals into its civic life. By enfranchising Black men in Washington, D.C., Congress set an example for the expansion of voting rights elsewhere in the country. However, the process was not without contention. President Andrew Johnson, a Southern Democrat, opposed the bill, reflecting his broader resistance to Reconstruction policies that aimed to promote racial equality.  Congress's decision to override Johnson's veto demonstrated its determination to lead Reconstruction efforts and address the injustices of slavery. This vote also highlighted the tensions between the legislative and executive branches over how best to rebuild the nation after the Civil War.  The District of Columbia Suffrage Act stands as a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights, symbolizing the beginning of federal measures to ensure greater political inclusion for African Americans during a transformative period in American history.The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has filed a lawsuit against Experian Plc, alleging the credit reporting company failed to properly investigate consumer disputes and ensure the accuracy of information on credit reports. According to the CFPB, Experian did not adequately collect or relay dispute information to data furnishers, sometimes accepting illogical or unreliable responses from credit card companies and debt collectors. These practices led to inaccurate information on credit reports, which negatively impacted consumers' credit scores, potentially resulting in higher loan interest rates, limited housing opportunities, and employment challenges.  The CFPB accused Experian of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Act by conducting inadequate dispute investigations. Director Rohit Chopra criticized Experian for "sham investigations" and emphasized the importance of compliance with federal laws.  Experian has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit an example of regulatory overreach and claiming the agency did not respond to prior communications. The company highlighted its history of working with the CFPB to improve dispute processes.  The lawsuit builds on prior CFPB actions against Experian, including a $3 million fine in 2017 for misleading consumers about its credit scores. The current case alleges persistent systemic failures in Experian's dispute handling and reporting processes.Experian Sued by CFPB for Botching Consumer Data Disputes (2)A Supreme Court case this week could determine TikTok's future in the United States, pitting national security concerns against free speech rights. President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Court to block a pending U.S. ban on the app, citing First Amendment concerns, while many Republican lawmakers and state attorneys general argue for upholding the ban. The law, passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden, requires TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban by January 19, over fears of Chinese government access to American user data.TikTok and ByteDance contend the law infringes on free speech, warning that it could set a dangerous precedent for banning platforms with foreign ties. Trump, in a reversal of his earlier stance, now opposes a ban and sees TikTok as politically valuable. The Justice Department defends the law, citing national security risks, while Republican attorneys general argue that TikTok's ties to China pose significant dangers.The Court's decision could have far-reaching implications for digital platform regulation and internet freedom in the U.S. and beyond. If upheld, experts warn other foreign-backed platforms, such as Telegram, could face similar scrutiny. Meanwhile, tech giants Apple and Google have been asked to prepare for TikTok's removal from app stores, potentially rendering the app obsolete over time without updates.TikTok's fate divides Trump and fellow Republicans as Supreme Court action looms | ReutersThe state of Alaska has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, alleging violations of a Congressional mandate to permit oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The lawsuit challenges the Interior Department's December 2024 decision to impose restrictive conditions on drilling leases in the refuge's coastal plain, arguing the limits make development impractical on the 400,000 acres set for auction. Alaska seeks to overturn the decision and prevent the leases from being issued with the restrictions.Governor Mike Dunleavy criticized the Biden administration's stance, claiming it undermines U.S. energy independence by restricting access to domestic resources. Alaska argues the restrictions, combined with the administration's earlier cancellations of leases granted during Donald Trump's presidency, significantly reduce expected revenue from ANWR development.  The Biden administration has prioritized environmental protection for the 19.6-million-acre refuge, home to species like polar bears and caribou. This legal dispute is the latest in a series of lawsuits from Alaska opposing federal efforts to limit drilling in ANWR. The battle reflects ongoing tensions between environmental priorities and energy development in the region, a long-standing political flashpoint.Alaska sues Biden administration over oil and gas leases in Arctic refuge | ReutersIn my column for this week, I talk about a facility fee charged for nonresident performers and athletes in Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is set to rule on the constitutionality of Pittsburgh's so-called “jock tax,” a 3% fee imposed on income earned by nonresident athletes and entertainers at publicly funded venues. This case raises complex questions about tax uniformity under the state constitution, as opponents argue the fee unfairly targets a specific group of workers.  The city contends the fee achieves fairness by equalizing tax burdens between nonresidents and residents, who already pay a combined 3% in local taxes. Without this fee, nonresident performers would enjoy a tax advantage over residents, who contribute to funding public infrastructure and services that benefit everyone using the city's venues.  Critics claim the tax violates uniformity principles by singling out nonresidents in certain professions, and asking them to pay 3% despite not receiving access to services ostensibly paid for by the tax like the local school system. But taxation has never operated strictly as a direct exchange for services rendered. Much like H.L.A. Hart's “No Vehicles in the Park” thought experiment, interpreting “uniformity” in taxation requires considering intent. The fee's purpose is to ensure nonresidents contribute their fair share for the public resources they use, aligning with broader fairness goals rather than rigid formalism.  Rejecting the fee would create an inequitable system where nonresidents effectively have their use of public resources subsidized by residents. For Pittsburgh and other cities balancing local budgets, the facility fee represents a practical, equitable solution that respects the principles of shared responsibility.Pittsburgh 'Jock Tax' Facilitates Parity and Should Be Upheld This is a public episode.

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

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

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

In response, Sen. Bob Casey officially conceded the race. 6:15pm- During a Wednesday Bucks County Commissioners' meeting, Board of Commissioners Chair Diane Ellis-Maseglia apologized for comments she made last week—when she announced her decision to count ineligible ballots in a state-wide recount, ignoring a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision.

Michael Brendan Dougherty of National Review writes: “I sometimes wonder what ‘liberalism' the defenders of the liberal world order have in mind when the subject comes to Tulsi Gabbard. Appalled by radical Islam after 9/11, Gabbard volunteered to serve in the Hawaii National Guard, deploying to Iraq in 2004 and 2005 in a medical unit. She completed officer training at Alabama Military Academy, then served overseas in Kuwait. In 2020, she transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel. You might think that people who claim to respect the troops so much might hesitate before calling someone with this kind of record a foreign asset or even accusing her of being a foreign agent.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has finally stepped in to denounce Bob Casey and his actions.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said of Donald Trump's cabinet appointees: "They are persons who will shake up the status quo.” 5:10pm- Rich takes calls: one person wants to talk about Donald Trump dismantling the deep state—while another wants to randomly discuss Tommy “Cutlets” DeVito starting for the New York Giants. 5:20pm- Disney has canceled plans for their next Star Wars film which was scheduled to be released in December of 2026. Star of Disney's new live-action Snow White film, Rachel Zeigler, attacked Donald Trump supporters on social media…again. And actress Justine Bateman says she has lost friends for speaking out against censorship and woke Hollywood. 5:40pm- David Urban— Political Commentator for CNN & Volunteer Senior Advisor to Donald Trump—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirming that PA county election officials cannot count misdated and undated ballots, as it violates the law. Urban explains: “You're not going to make up 30,000 votes in a recount…Casey is dragging out the inevitable.” Plus, do you think Robert Kennedy Jr. REALLY ate McDonald's food with Donald Trump over the weekend?

Today, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by offering his thoughts on many unfolding local and national topics. First, Dom updates the situation on the still-contested election between McCormick and Casey, as Casey continues his fight in courts to allow the counting of certain ballots in a seemingly useless effort to flip some votes. Then, Dom offers up his thoughts on the ongoing Laken Riley trial playing out live, noting the deep implications of the border policies on local communities throughout the country. Also, Dom runs through some of the cabinet picks, honing in on the controversy that developed around Trump's selection of Robert Kennedy Jr as Health and Human Services Secretary. Then, Dom welcomes Broad and Liberty and RealClearPennsylvania columnist Guy Ciarrocchi onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear his in-depth analysis of Trump's big win in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Guy breaks down county-by-county who flipped toward Trump, noting some of the most important demographics in electing Trump. In today's second hour, Dom brings Pastor Bill Devlin of Octane Faith back onto the Dom Giordano Program. Devlin, a globetrotting missionary, has been a regular guest over the years, to hear how he's been after recently breaking bread with new Ambassador to Israel Nominee Mike Huckabee. Dom also reminisces of a relationship Devlin built with RFK Jr after Devlin stepped forward and helped people keep their jobs during Coronavirus when companies were mandating vaccines. Then, Dom welcomes State Senator Cris Dush onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia's call for the commissioners to violate the rule of law and ignore the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, saying that the County should count misdated and undated ballots in an attempt to swing the Senate vote from McCormick to Casey. Marseglia's argument stems from Trump's election, noting that people violate laws anytime they want, so they should, too. Dush takes issue with these comments, noting the importance of election integrity, and tells what's being done and what he hopes is done about the comments. in today's third hour, Dom welcomes newly elected State Senator Joe PIcozzi, who alone, after knocking on thousands of doors, flipped an area of Northeast Philadelphia that had been trending Blue in recent years. Picozzi explains how he did what many thought was unthinkable, explaining how he was able to capture a district that has long eluded Republicans with absolutely no help from the establishment Republicans of Philadelphia.

Dom welcomes State Senator Cris Dush onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia's call for the commissioners to violate the rule of law and ignore the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, saying that the County should count misdated and undated ballots in an attempt to swing the Senate vote from McCormick to Casey. Marseglia's argument stems from Trump's election, noting that people violate laws anytime they want, so they should, too. Dush takes issue with these comments, noting the importance of election integrity, and tells what's being done and what he hopes is done about the comments.

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

Why would someone stab themselves 20 times and call it a suicide? That's what everyone's been asking in the case of Ellen Greenberg, a 20-something teacher found dead in her apartment, stabbed repeatedly, with some of the wounds being post-mortem. Despite this, her death was ruled a suicide, leaving everyone scratching their heads for more than a decade. Now, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ready to revisit the case and new evidence shedding light on some serious inconsistencies, people are finally starting to ask the right questions. Robin Dreeke, former FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to dive into this baffling case, exploring how such a staggering misclassification of death could happen and, more shockingly, how it has stayed that way for so long. Were powerful connections involved in covering up what really happened? Why didn't anyone take the post-mortem stab wounds and bruises seriously from the start? And who exactly had the influence to keep all eyes off of a potential murder for over ten years? As this case continues to unravel, we're left wondering—was Ellen Greenberg's death really a suicide, or are we about to witness one of the most astonishing cases of corruption and cover-ups finally come to light? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #Corruption #UnsolvedMystery #JusticeForEllen #FBI #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday #ColdCase #SuicideOrMurder Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Full Episode- 09/13/2024:(09/13/2024) The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Earlier this week, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris squared off in their first presidential debate. According to most objective observers, moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis routinely favored Harris by not only providing her with softball questions, but repeatedly fact-checking Trump in real-time while refusing to do the same to Harris. 3:15pm- During a Friday press conference outside of Los Angeles, California, Donald Trump attacked the Biden-Harris Administration for its failure to secure the U.S. Southern border—noting that under the administration's watch 325,000 undocumented migrant children have gone missing as a consequence. Trump also quoted Department of Justice statistics showing that violent crime nationwide has gone up since 2020. Notably, during Tuesday's debate, moderator David Muir inaccurately fact-checked Trump and claimed that violent crime had not risen during the Biden-Harris Administration. 3:30pm- Will the economy, and fracking specifically, be the deciding factor for undecided voters in Pennsylvania? Rich notes that NPR is attempting to downplay the significance of Kamala Harris's objection to pro-energy policies. 3:40pm- While campaigning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Kamala Harris went off script (only momentarily) to tell reporters that she's feeling very confident she'll win the state. 3:45pm- During a recent CNN segment, former Obama Administration Official Van Jones conceded that the Democrat Party—including Kamala Harris—adopted “all kinds of ideas that turned out to be bad ideas” in 2020. 4:05pm- In his latest investigative report posted to social media, John Strossel documents Kamala Harris's history of endorsing reckless spending policies—noting that she has already proposed $2 Trillion in new spending if she wins in November. In the past, she has even called for health care being entirely controlled by the federal government with the complete abolition of private health insurance. 4:15pm- Vinny—the owner of Angelo's Pizzeria South Philly—tells The Rich Zeoli Show that he's endorsing Donald Trump for president. He also weighs-in on the most controversial topic facing America: does pineapple belong on pizza? Angelo's is widely regarded as making the best pizza (and cheesesteaks) in the entire city. 4:20pm- Matt gets yelled at for eating “Trump 2024” cookies instead of paying attention to the show. 4:30pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss China's long-term ambition to end American energy dominance. Would Kamala Harris's opposition to domestic energy production help China achieve its goal? Dr. Coates also recaps Tuesday night's presidential debate and points out that Donald Trump was correct when he said Russia invaded Ukraine because the Biden-Harris Administration failed to deter aggression. Dr. Coates's upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 5:00pm- Major PA Supreme Court Decision: Steve Ulrich of Politics PA writes: “By a 4-3 vote, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated a decision by the state's Commonwealth Court, finding it unconstitutional for undated mail ballots to be counted.
