Ghislaine Maxwell appeared for a congressional deposition today and immediately invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refusing to answer substantive questions from lawmakers. According to members of Congress, Maxwell delivered a brief, prepared statement at the outset and then systematically declined to respond to questions about Jeffrey Epstein's operations, potential co-conspirators, powerful associates, or her own role in facilitating abuse. The deposition, conducted as part of Congress's oversight inquiry into the Epstein case, was expected by many to yield insight into long-unanswered questions, but instead unfolded as a near-total assertion of constitutional silence.By pleading the Fifth across the board, Maxwell effectively shut down Congress's ability to extract testimony while insulating herself from potential legal exposure tied to ongoing appeals and post-conviction litigation. Lawmakers publicly acknowledged that her refusal to testify was legally permissible but deeply frustrating, particularly given her central role in Epstein's criminal enterprise and the public interest in full disclosure. The outcome reinforced a familiar pattern in the Epstein saga: key insiders appearing under oath, yet declining to provide answers, leaving Congress with another formal record of silence rather than clarity about how Epstein's network operated and who enabled it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell deposition: Fifth Amendment plea sparks outrage

Michael McKee entered a not guilty plea to two counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. On paper, this might seem routine — defendants plead not guilty every day. But when you look at what investigators say they have, the psychology behind that plea becomes the story.According to court documents: surveillance footage tracking McKee's vehicle arriving in Columbus before the murders and leaving after. A firearm recovered from his Chicago condo that police say matches crime scene evidence. A cell phone that showed zero activity during the exact hours prosecutors allege the Tepes were killed. Footage from weeks earlier reportedly showing McKee in the Tepes' yard while they attended the Big Ten Championship. And witness statements describing years of alleged threats — including that he could "kill her at any time."So why fight?Today we examine the "game player" psychology — a pattern seen in defendants like Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, and Ted Bundy who faced crushing evidence but approached their trials as competitions rather than reckonings. For these defendants, other people were never fully real. The courtroom isn't punishment. It's the final level.If McKee fits this profile, his not guilty plea isn't denial. It's the only move left for someone who allegedly spent years believing he was smarter than every system designed to stop him.The trial will determine guilt or innocence. But the psychology may have been visible all along.McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.#TrueCrimeToday #MichaelMcKee #TepeHomicide #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #NotGuiltyPlea #CriminalPsychology #ColumbusOhio #AggravatedMurder #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Surveillance footage placing him at the scene. A NIBIN ballistics match. A cell phone that went dark during the murder window. Years of documented threats against his ex-wife. Michael McKee looked at the state's case and pleaded not guilty anyway. He waived his bail hearing but reserved the right to revisit it later — a calculated procedural move, not a white flag.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrote "The Minds of Mass Killers" and has spent thirty years evaluating violent offenders in forensic settings. She explains why certain defendants refuse to fold even when the evidence looks insurmountable. There's a profile. Ted Bundy represented himself and cross-examined witnesses about his own alleged murders. Scott Peterson watched his trial like it was happening to someone else. Chris Watts tried to manipulate homicide detectives while his family's bodies were still being recovered. The courtroom detachment isn't random — it's diagnostic.McKee is a vascular surgeon. Over a decade of elite medical training. He's operated on human bodies under extreme pressure, making life-and-death decisions with precision. Scott analyzes whether that professional identity feeds into the compartmentalization required to sit calmly while facing aggravated murder charges. What is narcissistic grandiosity and where does it come from? For someone like this, what does "winning" even mean? And the theory that won't go away: the detachment that allows someone to appear unaffected at trial may be the same mechanism that allegedly let them pull the trigger.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #NotGuiltyPlea #TedBundy #ChrisWatts #NarcissisticGrandiosity #TepeMurdersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Norway's most explosive royal scandal deepened as Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, appeared in Oslo District Court and pleaded not guilty to four counts of rape. Prosecutors laid out a sweeping indictment totaling thirty eight charges, including allegations of abuse, secret filming, drug offenses and repeated restraining order violations. Høiby admitted guilt to several lesser charges while denying the most serious accusations.Prosecutors stressed that royal connections would offer no protection, insisting that Høiby be treated exactly like any other defendant. The court imposed strict reporting restrictions to protect the alleged victims, while Høiby's defence argued he has been overwhelmed by what they described as a “tsunami of negative publicity.”The trial has been further complicated by Høiby's recent rearrest on new allegations involving threats with a knife and breach of a restraining order, leaving him in custody as proceedings continue.

That choice of attorney tells you everything about how this case is going to be fought.Menashe is the same lawyer who defended Dr. William Husel in 2022 — the Mount Carmel physician charged with murdering fourteen patients through allegedly lethal fentanyl doses. She called one witness during the entire defense. Husel was acquitted on all counts. Now she's representing another doctor facing murder charges.The prosecution includes Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor, taking on her first felony case after a career in property code enforcement. She'll be supported by veteran homicide prosecutors, but the matchup raises questions about experience and strategy in a case drawing national attention.Today we break down what the not guilty plea signals, how Menashe's defense philosophy could shape the trial, and the new details emerging about McKee's pattern of evasion — including a malpractice lawsuit that couldn't locate him for months before the killings. Process servers found fake addresses, TVs turning off when they knocked, and colleagues who said he "just disappeared."The battle lines are drawn. This is how it begins.#TrueCrimeToday #MichaelMcKee #TepeCase #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #DianeMenushe #ColumbusOhio #DomesticViolence #MurderTrial #WilliamHuselJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping episode, investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney⁠ Eric Bland, confront a week that forces an uncomfortable but urgent question: what happens when power escalates faster than accountability? First, Liz Farrell reports firsthand from the federal arraignment of JP Miller—an appearance marked not just by legal gravity, but by a visible public demand for accountability. What she witnessed was extraordinary: 52 U.S. Marshals on duty, federal prosecutors flooding the jury box, and bombshell revelations that paint JP as both a flight risk and danger to the community. Then through dual lenses of investigative journalism and constitutional law, our hosts unpack a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, interrogating how rapidly escalating law enforcement tactics collide with due process, civil rights, and public trust. This is not a partisan conversation. It's a journalistic one. A legal one. And ultimately, a civic one.  Because justice doesn't survive on authority alone... it survives with scrutiny and accountability. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Walk for Peace Facebook Page ☸️
