​Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has filed a motion to exclude a 2016 surveillance video from his upcoming federal trial, arguing that the footage—released by CNN in 2024—has been altered and is not a reliable representation of events. The video depicts Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Combs, who has previously apologized for his actions in the video, is currently facing charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and coercion. His lawyers claim that the video was manipulated, with distortions and speed alterations that exaggerate his actions, and that the original tape was destroyed, making it inadmissible as evidence. ​The defense has requested a hearing to allow expert testimony on the video's alleged inaccuracies. They argue that the government's inability to authenticate the footage, due to the destruction of the original and the presence of technical inconsistencies, renders it inadmissible. Prosecutors have previously used the video to argue for Combs' detention, citing the threat he poses to women. Combs remains in custody at MDC-Brooklyn, with his trial scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy requests 'distorted' Cassie videos not be shown at trial

The Prosecution:   During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.The  Defense:During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, his defense team, led by attorney Teny Geragos, acknowledged Combs's history of violence and temper but firmly denied that his actions constituted sex trafficking, racketeering, or prostitution. Geragos portrayed the case as one centered on "love, jealousy, infidelity, and money," arguing that the relationships in question were consensual adult interactions, including participation in a "swinger's lifestyle." She emphasized that while Combs may have exhibited abusive behavior, the prosecution's attempt to classify these personal relationships as criminal enterprises was a mischaracterization.The defense also sought to humanize Combs, reminding jurors that he is not on trial for being "mean" or a "jerk," but for specific criminal charges that they argue are unfounded. Geragos highlighted that the government's case intrudes into Combs's private life without sufficient legal basis, asserting that the alleged victims were capable individuals who made their own choices. She contended that the prosecution's narrative was an overreach, attempting to criminalize consensual activities and personal flawsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(4) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNN

Israel Florez, a former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, testified on the first day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial and described a 2016 incident involving Combs and Cassie Ventura. Florez told the jury he witnessed security footage showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway. According to his account, the footage captured Combs throwing a glass object at Ventura, dragging her by her hair, kicking her while she was on the ground, and later slamming her into a wall near the elevator. Florez said the footage disturbed him enough that he reported it to hotel management and saved a copy, fearing the original would be deleted.Florez further testified that Combs later confronted him about the tape and attempted to silence him by offering a bribe. He said Combs handed him an envelope filled with cash and instructed him to get rid of the footage. Florez refused and claimed he interpreted the encounter as an effort to cover up the incident. The government presented this testimony as part of a broader narrative that Combs used violence and then relied on money and influence to conceal it. The surveillance footage itself — previously leaked to the public — was played in full for the jury, reinforcing the prosecution's claim that this was not an isolated outburst but part of a larger pattern of coercive behavior.Daniel Phillip, a former male escort, took the stand as the second witness on Day One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Phillip testified that he was hired multiple times to engage in sexual acts with Cassie Ventura while Combs allegedly watched. According to his account, the encounters were arranged through intermediaries working for Combs, and he was paid thousands of dollars in cash after each meeting. Phillip said the settings were often private hotels or residences, and that the sessions were not casual — they were specific, orchestrated, and in some cases involved explicit instructions from Combs regarding what was to take place.Phillip also testified that over time, the nature of the encounters became more controlled. He recalled moments when Ventura appeared detached or uncomfortable and described the environment as one where Combs held clear dominance. He told the jury that he was warned not to speak about the arrangements, and that the overall experience felt more like an assignment than a consensual interaction. Prosecutors used his testimony to support the core of their trafficking charges — arguing that Combs not only arranged for sex acts to occur, but financially facilitated them in a manner that meets the threshold of federal sex trafficking statutes. The defense, meanwhile, worked to undermine Phillip's credibility, implying he had personal motives and highlighting the consensual framing of adult relationships. Still, Phillip's account added a layer of specificity to the government's claim that Combs used his wealth and status to structure and control exploitative sexual scenarios.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Male escort was paid 'thousands of dollars' to have sex with Cassie while Diddy watched, he testifies on day 1 of trial

Prosecutors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial have encountered a significant challenge: they are unable to locate a key witness, identified as "Victim-3." This witness was expected to provide crucial testimony regarding allegations that Combs coerced her into sexual acts. During court proceedings on May 7, 2025, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey informed the judge that both the witness and her attorney have been unresponsive, and there's uncertainty about her appearance even if subpoenaed. This development raises concerns about the prosecution's ability to present a comprehensive case.Despite this setback, the prosecution plans to proceed with testimonies from other accusers, including Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The absence of Victim-3's testimony could impact the prosecution's strategy, but they remain committed to presenting the available evidence. Combs faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, and has pleaded not guilty.

In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (24 Cr. 542), federal prosecutors have filed an opposition to the defense's motions requesting a hearing, a bill of particulars, and a gag order. The defense sought a hearing to investigate alleged government leaks of evidence, specifically a 2016 video purportedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Prosecutors refuted these claims, stating they did not possess the video prior to its public release and had no involvement in its dissemination. They argued that the defense's allegations are baseless and represent a strategic attempt to suppress critical evidence that is highly probative of Combs' alleged criminal conduct.Regarding the request for a bill of particulars, the defense sought detailed information about the charges to prepare for trial. Prosecutors contended that the indictment already provides sufficient detail, outlining the nature of the charges and the alleged criminal activities. They maintained that additional specifics are unnecessary and could compromise ongoing investigations or witness safety. Concerning the motion for a gag order to prevent public statements by potential witnesses and attorneys, prosecutors argued that existing court orders already address these concerns, rendering the defense's request redundant. They emphasized the importance of balancing the defendant's right to a fair trial with the public's right to information, asserting that current measures are adequate to maintain this balance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:diddy.pdf

Sean “Diddy” Combs' legal team is facing an uphill battle as they prepare to defend him against explosive federal charges of sex trafficking, drug distribution, and running a criminal enterprise. Prosecutors are expected to call multiple cooperating witnesses—many of them alleged victims and former insiders—whose stories span decades and paint a picture of a carefully controlled web of abuse, coercion, and violence. That cumulative weight makes it difficult for the defense to dismiss the case as opportunistic or fabricated. This isn't just about one accuser—it's about an alleged pattern of criminal conduct, and the government only needs to prove that pattern, not each individual act.Diddy's attorneys are expected to focus heavily on undermining the credibility of the accusers, possibly pointing to inconsistencies or financial motives. But in a federal RICO case, that only gets them so far. The structure of the case allows the government to use broader racketeering evidence to show intent and criminal enterprise, even if some parts are disputed. The defense also faces the court of public opinion, especially after damaging surveillance footage surfaced showing Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie Ventura—footage that may or may not be admissible, but will almost certainly be on jurors' minds. All of this sets the stage for a high-stakes legal showdown where reputation, freedom, and legacy hang in the balance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs defense lawyers face uphill battle in bid to undermine accusers | ReutersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Diddy Trial From Start Up To Closing: What Happened & What's Next  Sean "Diddy" Combs—music mogul, entrepreneur, icon—now finds himself at the center of one of the most explosive federal trials in recent memory. After weeks of intense courtroom drama, graphic evidence, and disturbing testimonies, federal prosecutors have officially rested their case, accusing Combs of running a criminal empire involving racketeering, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution. The allegations are as serious as they are shocking, painting a picture of Combs using his immense power and celebrity status to allegedly orchestrate what prosecutors describe as coercive and violent sexual activities disguised as lavish "freak off" parties. The trial unfolded dramatically, featuring testimonies from 34 witnesses including alleged victims, former employees, bodyguards, hotel managers, and male escorts. Prosecutors showcased explicit video recordings, detailed text exchanges, and financial records purportedly linking Combs directly to these activities. Notably absent from the defense were any witnesses—including Combs himself—raising questions about their bold strategy of resting without rebuttal. With closing arguments imminent, all eyes now shift to the jury. The defense maintains Combs' innocence, suggesting the activities were consensual adult encounters, while prosecutors insist they were violent, manipulative, and illegal. The trial's outcome will profoundly impact not only Combs' future—potentially facing life imprisonment if convicted—but also how celebrities' power dynamics and abuses are handled in federal court moving forward. In this deep dive, we break down exactly what happened today in the courtroom, what it means for the trial's outcome, and what comes next as the jury prepares to deliberate. Join us as we uncover the full scope of this case, discussing the broader implications for celebrity accountability, the power dynamics in the entertainment industry, and the line between private behavior and criminal misconduct.

The Diddy Trial From Start Up To Closing: What Happened & What's Next  Sean "Diddy" Combs—music mogul, entrepreneur, icon—now finds himself at the center of one of the most explosive federal trials in recent memory. After weeks of intense courtroom drama, graphic evidence, and disturbing testimonies, federal prosecutors have officially rested their case, accusing Combs of running a criminal empire involving racketeering, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution. The allegations are as serious as they are shocking, painting a picture of Combs using his immense power and celebrity status to allegedly orchestrate what prosecutors describe as coercive and violent sexual activities disguised as lavish "freak off" parties. The trial unfolded dramatically, featuring testimonies from 34 witnesses including alleged victims, former employees, bodyguards, hotel managers, and male escorts. Prosecutors showcased explicit video recordings, detailed text exchanges, and financial records purportedly linking Combs directly to these activities. Notably absent from the defense were any witnesses—including Combs himself—raising questions about their bold strategy of resting without rebuttal. With closing arguments imminent, all eyes now shift to the jury. The defense maintains Combs' innocence, suggesting the activities were consensual adult encounters, while prosecutors insist they were violent, manipulative, and illegal. The trial's outcome will profoundly impact not only Combs' future—potentially facing life imprisonment if convicted—but also how celebrities' power dynamics and abuses are handled in federal court moving forward. In this deep dive, we break down exactly what happened today in the courtroom, what it means for the trial's outcome, and what comes next as the jury prepares to deliberate. Join us as we uncover the full scope of this case, discussing the broader implications for celebrity accountability, the power dynamics in the entertainment industry, and the line between private behavior and criminal misconduct.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports from court, federal prosecutors wrap up their closing arguments at the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial.

The prosecution's nearly five-hour closing argument in the racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking trial of Sean Combs ended with federal prosecutor Christy Slavik imploring the jury to convict the defendant as charged. “Up until today, the defendant was able to get away with his crimes because of his money, power and influence,” Slavik claimed. “It's time to hold him accountable. It's time for justice. It's time to find the defendant guilty.” Slavik told jurors that a lot of the evidence presented during the trial was difficult to witness but, she argued, that evidence “proves to you that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” She asserted that Combs “ran his criminal enterprise with total control” and with the support of an inner circle whose “one job was to say yes to the defendant.” The defense closing argument is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET Friday morning.

Mike Marza and ABC News Legal Contributor Bernarda Villalona recap a big day in the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Federal prosecutors are no longer including attempted kidnapping and attempted arson as underlying crimes in the alleged racketeering conspiracy charge against Sean Combs. Prosecutors disclosed in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian that they would “no longer proceed on these theories” when they deliberated closing arguments, which are scheduled to begin Thursday. Instead, prosecutors signaled that they would push sex trafficking and forced labor as primary predicate acts that the jury could find to convict Combs of racketeering conspiracy.

‘Ghost Adventures' Star's Estranged Wife Gets Up to 7½ Years for Murder-for-Hire Plot A Las Vegas judge has sentenced Victoria Goodwin — the estranged wife of “Ghost Adventures” investigator Aaron Goodwin — to three to seven-and-a-half years in state prison for plotting to have the reality-TV star murdered. Judge Nadia Krall handed down the 36- to 90-month term on Thursday, June 5, after the 32-year-old tearfully admitted that she conspired with convicted family killer Grant Amato to arrange a contract hit on her husband. Goodwin pleaded guilty in April to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder, part of a deal that spared her the possibility of a longer sentence on additional solicitation charges. Prosecutors said she began exchanging letters, phone calls, and illicit text messages with Amato in early 2024, shortly after she saw him featured in the Paramount+ docuseries Ctrl + Alt + Desire. Amato is serving life in a Florida prison for the 2019 slayings of his parents and brother. According to police testimony, prison staff found a contraband cellphone in Amato's possession last winter. The device contained dozens of messages from Victoria that included the couple's Las Vegas address, Aaron Goodwin's daily routine, and a proposed “payment plan” for the killing. “Am I a bad person because I chose to end his existence, not divorce?” she wrote in one exchange, investigators told the court. Detectives informed Aaron Goodwin of the alleged plot only after his wife's arrest on March 6. The 49-year-old cinematographer — a regular on Discovery's long-running paranormal series — filed for divorce within days and began traveling with armed security. “For seven years I thought I was in the most loving marriage with my best friend,” he told the court, choking back tears. “Now I'll never feel safe again.” Addressing the bench, Aaron said Victoria had “spent almost all our savings” trying to keep the scheme secret while carrying on what prosecutors described as an “emotional and spiritual marriage” with Amato. “The fact that this person did all this to me with no care or love in her heart — I will never be the same,” he said, urging Krall to impose prison time. Victoria, shackled and wearing jail attire, offered an equally emotional apology moments before sentencing. “I recognize my stupidity and the terrible crime against Aaron,” she sobbed. “I pray you find joy and peace again, and I promise you'll never see or hear from me.” She also apologized to the court, calling the plot her “rock bottom.” Deputy District Attorney Jillian Strout countered that the apology rang hollow, noting that Victoria never tried to halt the plan until law enforcement intervened. “She provided location, timing, and payment details; the wheels were in motion,” Strout said, adding that an unidentified accomplice outside the prison was prepared to carry out the killing. Amato has not been charged in Nevada, though authorities say their investigation remains open. Defense attorney Brandon Albright asked for probation, pointing to Victoria's “severe mental-health struggles” and the fact that the murder was never actually attempted. Judge Krall rejected the request. “This was not a fantasy,” she said. “The steps taken moved this crime from thought to preparation.” Krall imposed the maximum term allowed under the plea agreement, ordering Victoria to serve at least three years before she is eligible for parole and to have no contact with Aaron. The couple married in August 2022 after dating for several years. Court filings show their relationship began to fracture in late 2023 amid allegations that Victoria was involved with “multiple men,” including Amato. Aaron told reporters outside the courthouse that he is undergoing therapy “to process the betrayal” and hopes to focus on new paranormal projects once the divorce is finalized. “I'm grateful to the fans who have reached out,” he said. “Their support reminds me that there are still good people out there.” Victoria Goodwin was led from the courtroom by marshals to begin her sentence at the Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center. With credit for the 92 days already served, she could leave prison as early as 2028 — a possibility her former husband still finds unnerving. “Whether she serves the minimum or the maximum, I'll be looking over my shoulder,” Aaron said. “But at least today the court affirmed that what happened to me deserves prison time.” Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Inside the Sandra Birchmore Cover-Up: Grooming, Power, and a Staged Suicide  Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and living alone when she was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. The initial ruling? Suicide. But now—thanks to a federal indictment—that story is unraveling fast. In this episode, we break down the disturbing case of Sandra Birchmore, who prosecutors say was groomed and exploited for years by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell. Farwell met Sandra through a police youth mentorship program when she was just 13. By 15, he was in a sexual relationship with her. By 23, she was pregnant with a child she believed was his. Then she turned up dead. Prosecutors allege Farwell strangled her to keep her quiet, then staged the scene to look like a suicide. Years passed before the FBI stepped in—exposing what many believe to be a shocking abuse of power. And Farwell isn't the only name caught in the fallout. Other officers allegedly had ties to Sandra, yet walked away uncharged. Some resigned. Some let their police certifications quietly expire. And all the while, Sandra's family was left to fight for the truth. We unpack the federal case, the DNA twist that shattered everything Sandra believed, the silence of those around her, and the ugly reality of what happens when predators wear badges. This isn't just about one murder. It's about a system that let it happen—and almost let it disappear. Subscribe and listen as we ask the hard questions.

Dr. Herman Tarnower—the cardiologist behind The Scarsdale Diet—was dead, and his longtime lover Jean Harris was in handcuffs. But the real battle had just begun.What followed was a 14-week media-frenzied trial, filled with courtroom theatrics, handwritten, ten page love letters, prescription drugs, and a defense that teetered between suicide attempt and emotional collapse.

She would go on to serve 12 years behind bars before then-New York Governor Mario Cuomo commuted her sentence at age 69.In this episode, we break down the trial, the aftermath, and the transformation of Jean Harris—from prep school headmistress to convicted murderer to prison reform advocate.sources used for this podcastSupport the showJOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA

Count 4 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs charges him with transporting Victim 1, identified as Cassie Ventura, across state lines with the intent to engage her in prostitution. Prosecutors allege that between 2009 and 2018, Combs orchestrated and facilitated "freak-off" events—drug-fueled sexual encounters involving male escorts—which he directed, filmed, and used to exert control over Ventura. These events reportedly took place in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The prosecution argues that Combs used his influence and resources to transport Ventura and other women to these events, where they were coerced into participating in commercial sex acts. Evidence presented includes travel records and communications that suggest the transportation was part of a broader scheme to exploit women for prostitution.In response, Combs' defense team contends that the interactions were consensual and part of a private, non-criminal lifestyle. They argue that Ventura willingly participated in these events and that the transportation was not for the purpose of engaging her in prostitution. The defense also points to the absence of direct evidence linking the transportation to prostitution, suggesting that the charges are based on assumptions rather than concrete proof. The outcome of this count will depend on the jury's assessment of the credibility of the evidence and testimonies presented, including the context of the relationships and the nature of the events in question.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Count 5 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs charges him with transporting Victim 2, referred to as "Jane," and male commercial sex workers across state lines with the intent to engage in prostitution between 2021 and 2024. Prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated and facilitated "freak-off" events—drug-fueled sexual encounters involving male escorts—which he directed, filmed, and used to exert control over Jane. These events reportedly took place in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The prosecution's claim hinges on the idea that Jane was not participating in these acts voluntarily but was instead coerced or manipulated into doing so under duress, a key aspect of the trafficking charge under federal law. If the prosecution's evidence is found to be credible, it would prove that Combs played a central role in exploiting Jane, using his power and influence to subject her to coercive circumstancesIn response, Combs' defense team contends that the interactions were consensual and part of a private, non-criminal lifestyle.

Is Barry Morphew Guilty Or Innocent? Barry Morphew was first thrust into the national spotlight in May 2020, when his wife Suzanne Morphew vanished from their home in Salida, Colorado, on Mother's Day weekend. Barry told police she went for a bike ride and never returned. But almost immediately, investigators began to suspect foul play—and Barry became their primary focus. A year later, in 2021, Barry was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, even though Suzanne's body hadn't been found. Prosecutors laid out a circumstantial case built on digital data, suspicious behavior, and a crumbling marriage. But after major missteps by the prosecution—including withheld evidence and discovery violations—the case collapsed in 2022 and the charges were dropped. Then in 2023, Suzanne's remains were finally discovered in a remote area of Colorado. A forensic bombshell followed: BAM, a rare tranquilizer used on wildlife, was found in her bones. Barry, who had experience using BAM from his days as a deer farmer, was re-indicted in 2025. Prosecutors now say this evidence links him directly to Suzanne's death. Barry Morphew maintains his innocence, and his defense argues the case is still circumstantial, flawed, and built on faulty assumptions. The question facing the courts—and the public—is whether this time, the evidence will finally be enough to hold him accountable.  PROSECUTORS SAY HE DID IT • Suzanne's remains were found in 2023 with BAM (a rare wildlife tranquilizer) in her bones. • Barry was the ONLY private individual in the area known to have purchased BAM (from Indiana, during deer farming). • A plastic syringe cap from a dart was found in the family dryer with Barry's shorts. • Barry's phone went into airplane mode minutes after Suzanne's final message. He went “dark” for ~8 hours. • His truck telemetry system also failed to log during key early morning hours on May 10 — the exact time he claimed he was driving to a job site. • Surveillance showed Barry dumping unknown trash in 5+ commercial dumpsters on May 10 — and couldn't say what he threw away. • A cracked bedroom doorframe suggested a violent altercation. Barry denied knowing how it got there. • Suzanne had just told Barry (via text): “I'm done.” • She was having a secret 2-year affair and planned to leave him. • Barry told police their marriage was “great.” Suzanne's texts said she felt unsafe.  DEFENSE SAYS IT'S REASONABLE DOUBT • No BAM or tranquilizer vials were found during 2020 searches. • Dart gun was found disassembled. No proof it was recently used. • The “syringe cap” had no prints, no DNA, and couldn't be dated. • No murder weapon was recovered. • No blood. No trace evidence. No eyewitness. No confession. • Suzanne's cause of death is “homicide in the setting of BAM intoxication,” but there's no confirmed mechanism (e.g. suffocation, overdose, blunt trauma). • Unidentified male DNA was found on Suzanne's car and bike helmet — linked via CODIS to known sex offenders in other states. • Prosecutors say they ruled out these men by location. But the origin of the DNA? Still unexplained. • Barry's defense argues the entire case is circumstantial and built around prosecutorial bias. • The 2022 case collapsed due to major discovery violations. Judge barred 14 expert witnesses. Charges were dropped. THE QUESTION IS: Did Barry use a rare tranquilizer only he had access to, kill Suzanne, and cover it up? Or is this a story of a man wrongly accused, with sloppy investigation and missing forensic proof? What do YOU believe?

Barry Morphew was first thrust into the national spotlight in May 2020, when his wife Suzanne Morphew vanished from their home in Salida, Colorado, on Mother's Day weekend. Barry told police she went for a bike ride and never returned. But almost immediately, investigators began to suspect foul play—and Barry became their primary focus. A year later, in 2021, Barry was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, even though Suzanne's body hadn't been found. Prosecutors laid out a circumstantial case built on digital data, suspicious behavior, and a crumbling marriage. But after major missteps by the prosecution—including withheld evidence and discovery violations—the case collapsed in 2022 and the charges were dropped. Then in 2023, Suzanne's remains were finally discovered in a remote area of Colorado. A forensic bombshell followed: BAM, a rare tranquilizer used on wildlife, was found in her bones. Barry, who had experience using BAM from his days as a deer farmer, was re-indicted in 2025. Prosecutors now say this evidence links him directly to Suzanne's death. Barry Morphew maintains his innocence, and his defense argues the case is still circumstantial, flawed, and built on faulty assumptions. The question facing the courts—and the public—is whether this time, the evidence will finally be enough to hold him accountable.  PROSECUTORS SAY HE DID IT • Suzanne's remains were found in 2023 with BAM (a rare wildlife tranquilizer) in her bones. • Barry was the ONLY private individual in the area known to have purchased BAM (from Indiana, during deer farming). • A plastic syringe cap from a dart was found in the family dryer with Barry's shorts. • Barry's phone went into airplane mode minutes after Suzanne's final message. He went “dark” for ~8 hours. • His truck telemetry system also failed to log during key early morning hours on May 10 — the exact time he claimed he was driving to a job site. • Surveillance showed Barry dumping unknown trash in 5+ commercial dumpsters on May 10 — and couldn't say what he threw away. • A cracked bedroom doorframe suggested a violent altercation. Barry denied knowing how it got there. • Suzanne had just told Barry (via text): “I'm done.” • She was having a secret 2-year affair and planned to leave him. • Barry told police their marriage was “great.” Suzanne's texts said she felt unsafe.  DEFENSE SAYS IT'S REASONABLE DOUBT • No BAM or tranquilizer vials were found during 2020 searches. • Dart gun was found disassembled. No proof it was recently used. • The “syringe cap” had no prints, no DNA, and couldn't be dated. • No murder weapon was recovered. • No blood. No trace evidence. No eyewitness. No confession. • Suzanne's cause of death is “homicide in the setting of BAM intoxication,” but there's no confirmed mechanism (e.g. suffocation, overdose, blunt trauma). • Unidentified male DNA was found on Suzanne's car and bike helmet — linked via CODIS to known sex offenders in other states. • Prosecutors say they ruled out these men by location. But the origin of the DNA? Still unexplained. • Barry's defense argues the entire case is circumstantial and built around prosecutorial bias. • The 2022 case collapsed due to major discovery violations. Judge barred 14 expert witnesses. Charges were dropped. THE QUESTION IS: Did Barry use a rare tranquilizer only he had access to, kill Suzanne, and cover it up? Or is this a story of a man wrongly accused, with sloppy investigation and missing forensic proof? What do YOU believe?

Few figures in Latin American politics polarize opinion like Colombia's former president, Álvaro Uribe. Right now, Uribe, Colombia's president from 2002 to 2010, faces charges of bribery, procedural fraud, and bribery in a judicial proceeding. Prosecutors must determine whether he instigated others to manipulate witness testimony in an attempt to mislead the judiciary for his benefit.   So, along with Adriaan Alsema, director of Colombia Reports, we take a deep dive into the "early years" from Uribe's birth in Salgar, Antioquia and up until his campaign to become governor of the department, taking in his education, his role on the Medellin city council, director of Aerocivil, Mayor of Medellin and many family connections.    Allegations of ties to drug cartels and paramilitaries have dogged him since the early 1980s, when the civil aviation agency he then led was accused of giving air licenses to drug traffickers. Declassified State Department cables from a decade later show U.S. officials were told the up-and-coming politician had ties to cartels.   In future episodes we will look at further details surrounding Colombia's most powerful political force.    The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart. 

In March 2025, a professional photographer filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs in the New York State Supreme Court, alleging sexual battery. The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, claims that during a commercial shoot in late 2022 or early 2023, Combs invited him into his trailer under the pretense of discussing career opportunities. Once inside, Combs allegedly pressured Doe to engage in sexual acts, suggesting that compliance would advance his career. The lawsuit details that after Doe refused, Combs threatened him with physical violence and expelled him from the trailer. Doe asserts that he returned to work, grappling with the trauma of the encounter.Combs' legal team has denied the allegations, stating that he has "never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor." They assert confidence in the judicial process and anticipate prevailing in court. This lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges Combs faces, including multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault spanning several decades. As of now, Combs remains incarcerated on unrelated charges, with a trial set for May 2025.On March 14, 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court, pleading not guilty to a superseding indictment that expands previous charges to include allegations of forced labor. Prosecutors assert that between 2004 and 2024, Combs exploited his business empire to coerce employees into grueling work conditions and threatened those who resisted, as part of a broader sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.During the hearing, Combs, 55, appeared with noticeable physical changes, sporting gray hair and a beard. The court discussed the admissibility of a hotel surveillance video from 2016, allegedly showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. His defense contends the footage is misleading and manipulated. Combs has been detained without bail since his September 2024 arrest, with his trial scheduled to commence on May 5, 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The prosecution has presented a detailed case against Sean "Diddy" Combs on Count Two of his federal indictment, which accuses him of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion involving his former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. Testimony from witnesses and evidence of digital communications between Diddy and Cassie have painted a troubling picture of manipulation and control. Prosecutors argue that Diddy used his power and influence to coerce Cassie into engaging in sex acts with other individuals under duress, maintaining control over her through a mix of threats, promises, and financial leverage. The prosecution also highlighted a pattern of emotional abuse and psychological pressure, underscoring the imbalance of power in their relationship and the ongoing exploitation Cassie faced during their time together. Additionally, the government introduced testimony suggesting that Diddy's management of Cassie's career was a tool to further his control over her, with career opportunities and personal favors tied to her compliance.Forensic evidence and witness statements have supported the allegations, with some individuals describing how Diddy would demand services from Cassie and other women under the guise of business or professional obligations. These claims of sex trafficking are bolstered by text messages and other forms of communication where Diddy's coercive tactics were allegedly evident. Despite the gravity of these accusations, the defense has denied the allegations, presenting their own version of events that disputes the characterization of Diddy's actions as coercive or criminal. The jury will now face the critical task of determining whether the prosecution's portrayal of exploitation is convincing enough to overcome the defense's argument, and if Diddy's actions truly amounted to trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, or if the evidence is insufficient to support such a serious charge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
