LaTascia Taylor thought she had met her fairy tale. Charming. Successful. Confident. The kind of man who walks into your life and makes you feel seen. But what started as love quickly unraveled into manipulation, danger, and a criminal empire she never saw coming. What LaTascia didn't know was that the man she fell for was running a major drug operation. And little by little, he pulled her in. First moving money across state lines… then transporting packages… and eventually flying internationally with drugs hidden in luggage. She found herself in way too deep — and on a flight to Europe, everything came crashing down. Arrested. In a foreign country. No support. No way home. And stuck for 2 years in an overseas prison. #truecrime #survivalstory #prisonstories #traumarecovery #toxicrelationships #drugtrafficking #lockedinwithianbick #secondchances Thank you to BLUECHEW & BRUNT for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Samuels, 2025 ONCA 736 where police arrested a man for drug trafficking and searched him at the scene incident to arrest by lifting his shirt and removing a bag of drugs sticking out from his underwear waistband. The man's sweatpants were then lowered to his knees, exposing a pair of jeans underneath, so officer's could search his pockets. Police found a trove or drugs and drug-related evidence. Did these searches amount to a "strip search" such that special rules applied? Or were they more akin to a pat-down or frisk search, requiring no additional justification?

Eimear Ní Bhraonain, Journalist and author of an upcoming book on the DJ Carey case, looks ahead to the sentencing hearing of DJ Carey.

Orla O'Donnell, Legal Affairs Correspondent, reports on DJ Carey's postponed sentencing which had been due to take place this morning.

An estimated 700 law enforcement vehicles will lead a procession this morning to honor fallen La Mesa police officer Lauren Craven. The San Diego Police Department tells NBC 7 they're using every resource at their disposal to find the person responsible for hitting and killing a six-year-old boy in City Heights. A man who hurled merchandise and insults at stylists inside a Santee hair salon has pleaded guilty to assault charges.   What You Need To Know To Start Your Tuesday. 

In this week's episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with Alissa Skog, a researcher at the California Policy Lab, about her team's new report on California's expansive re-sentencing policies and their impact on recidivism. Skog explains that California has gone further than most states in reviewing long sentences imposed under older laws, such as Proposition 36 and Proposition 47, and felony murder reform — all aimed at bringing past sentences in line with current standards. Skog highlights that many of those resentenced are older individuals who have served a decade or more behind bars. “Most people age out of crime,” she notes, pointing out that the data confirm this trend. For example, people resentenced under Proposition 36 had a three-year conviction rate of 25 percent, far below the statewide benchmark of 41 percent for all people released from state prison. For those resentenced under felony murder reform, only 10 percent were convicted within three years, with most new convictions being misdemeanors. The discussion underscores the humanitarian and fiscal logic of re-sentencing. Older incarcerated people, Skog adds, pose little public safety risk but high costs to the state. She cites nearly 15,000 people in California prisons who are over 50 and have served more than 15 years — a population that could be safely reviewed for release under new policies being considered by the Board of Parole Hearings. Greenwald and Skog conclude that California's experience offers a model for other states, showing that releasing long-incarcerated people can be both safe and just. “These are people that should get a review because generally they're a low risk,” Skog says, urging continued study and expansion of early review mechanisms across the system.

The conversation delves into the concept of deterrence in crime prevention, emphasizing that the likelihood of being caught and punished is a more significant factor than the severity of the punishment itself. It highlights that longer sentences do not effectively deter crime if offenders believe they can evade capture.In the intricate world of criminal law, understanding the principles of punishment and sentencing is crucial. This post delves into the philosophical debates and practical applications that shape the justice system today. From historical shifts to modern challenges, we explore the core tensions and evolving standards that define this field.The Evolution of Punishment: Historically, punishment has transformed from physical and public sanctions to more regulated and humane approaches. This shift reflects changing societal values and the evolving standards of decency that courts use today. The question remains: why do we punish at all? This leads us to the two major philosophies in sentencing—utilitarianism and retribution.Retribution vs. Utilitarianism: Retribution focuses on the past act, advocating for punishment as a moral necessity. In contrast, utilitarianism looks forward, weighing the societal benefits against the costs of punishment. This philosophical divide influences every sentencing decision, from deterrence to rehabilitation.The Role of Deterrence: Deterrence is a key goal in utilitarian sentencing, aiming to prevent future crimes. However, the effectiveness of deterrence is debated, with studies showing that the certainty of punishment is more impactful than its severity. This insight challenges the traditional reliance on harsh sentences as a deterrent.Constitutional Limits and the Eighth Amendment: The Eighth Amendment serves as a constitutional check against excessive punishment. Its interpretation has led to significant legal precedents, particularly in capital cases. The amendment's role in non-capital cases, however, remains a topic of debate, with courts often deferring to legislative policy choices.The landscape of punishment and sentencing is complex, shaped by historical, philosophical, and legal factors. As we navigate these challenges, the balance between retribution and utilitarian goals continues to evolve. Understanding these dynamics is essential for anyone studying or practicing criminal law.Subscribe Now: Stay informed on the latest developments in criminal law by subscribing.TakeawaysThe deterrent effect of certainty is much stronger than severity.Longer sentences are ineffective if offenders think they can escape punishment.Severity deters only when the certainty of being caught is high.Offenders' calculations are influenced more by perceived chances of getting caught than by potential penalties.Understanding offender behavior is crucial for effective crime prevention strategies.Policies should focus on increasing the likelihood of apprehension rather than just increasing penalties.The relationship between certainty and severity is complex and requires careful consideration.Effective deterrence strategies must address the mindset of potential offenders.Crime prevention efforts should prioritize certainty over severity in their approaches.Research consistently supports the importance of certainty in deterrence.deterrence, crime prevention, certainty, punishment, severity, offender behavior

In his first public interview following Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing, attorney David Boies described the outcome as a “satisfying” step toward justice—while acknowledging that the broader fight is far from over. He conveyed that Maxwell's 20-year sentence brought a measure of closure to victims of Jeffrey Epstein and signalled that even powerful individuals can be held accountable. Nonetheless, Boies stressed his concern that numerous other collaborators and enablers have not faced criminal scrutiny and that as time passes, the likelihood of further prosecutions diminishes.Boies also raised alarms about secrecy in the investigation and litigation process: he pointed out that, despite having shared extensive civil-case materials with federal prosecutors years ago, many records remain sealed and many victims remain unheard. He asserted that the scale and longevity of the abuse could not have occurred without the “co-operation of a lot of additional people” and called for continued pressure on the justice system to bring those people to account.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A guilty plea, a forgotten past, and a courtroom test of how identity meets justice. We open with a 2011 assault case resolved by a joint submission: an 18‑month conditional sentence after the accused conceded his force exceeded self‑defence. Years later, he discovered his father was Indigenous and obtained status, then sought an out‑of‑time appeal to revisit both plea and sentence. We walk through the legal gatekeeping for late appeals—intention, prejudice, merit, and the interests of justice—and unpack why section 718.2(e) and the Supreme Court's Gladue jurisprudence require more than ancestry alone. Without a Gladue report or concrete evidence tying personal background to the offence and sentence, the Court of Appeal found no basis to disturb a non‑custodial disposition, underscoring the balance between individualized justice and finality.Then the floor drops out on a modern confidence game. A Victoria woman was lured by “1% per day” crypto returns, saw early profits, re‑mortgaged her home, and pushed $671,000 through a cryptocurrency exchange to a third‑party wallet. Could the exchange be liable in negligence? We break down duty of care, standard of care, causation, and damages, and why the court concluded the platform did everything a reasonable exchange should: prominent written warnings, live calls from staff and a supervisor urging her to stop, risk scoring on the destination wallet, and documented customer pressure to proceed. The claim failed, and the case now stands as a sharp warning about irreversible blockchain transfers and the psychology of fraud.If you care about Canadian criminal law, Indigenous sentencing principles, or investor protection in crypto, this story delivers practical takeaways: build a real record for Gladue considerations; treat “guaranteed” returns as a red flag; and know that platforms can warn you, but they can't always save you.

In this explosive episode, former USC football standout Owen Hanson—once living the dream on the field—reveals how he plunged into the dark underworld of the Sinaloa Cartel, moving hundreds of millions in cocaine across continents. Known as “O-Dog”, Hanson opens up about his journey from campus celebrity and sports bookmaker to international drug trafficker working directly with El Chapo's network. Host Johnny Mitchell dives deep into Hanson's transformation—from selling steroids to teammates at USC, to orchestrating high-level cartel deals spanning Peru, Mexico, Australia, and the U.S. Hanson recounts the lavish highs, the paranoia of living double lives, and the eventual FBI sting that brought it all crashing down.

Convictions and sentencing have been handed out to rioters for their parts in the Dublin Riots on November 23rd 2023. Nicola Donnelly, courts correspondent for The Irish Daily Star/Irish Mirror, answers whether justice is being served two years on.

Donna Adelson was sentenced to life in prison—but you wouldn't know it by her behavior in court. What was meant to be a solemn moment of justice turned into a shocking display of entitlement, arrogance, and complete lack of remorse. In this episode, we break down the bizarre spectacle of Donna's sentencing. From her declaration of innocence to her scolding of the jury and the judge, Donna seemed more interested in controlling the narrative than accepting her fate. But it didn't end there—her husband Harvey doubled down with a tone-deaf rant blaming the system, the media, and the world for their downfall. We cover:  • Donna's courtroom performance—defiance over remorse  • Judge Everett's powerful rebuttal  • Harvey Adelson's surreal tirade  • The parade of tone-deaf “supporters”  • The contrast with the Markel family's grace and silence This wasn't justice denied—it was justice exposed. A family so consumed by narcissism, they turned a sentencing hearing into a theater of delusion. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #MarkelMurder #CourtroomDrama #AdelsonFamily #LifeSentence #TrueCrimeAnalysis #NarcissismInCourt #JusticeForDan #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson continued her courtroom statement and the language she used in the second half is even more revealing.“I've never gotten a parking ticket” and “a murder I did not commit” may sound like simple denials… but Jack Fox shows how her phrasing actually leaks guilt.And her husband, Harvey Adelson, speaks supposedly to defend her. But his angry rant about injustice may have revealed more doubt than certainty.In this second episode, Jack applies Statement Investigation to the rest of Donna's words and Harvey's character statement. The result? A deeper look at what people really believe despite what they say.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

Donna Adelson's sentencing day quickly turned into a legal spectacle — with her defense team pushing back hard, arguing that she never received a fair trial. From calling out prosecutors to questioning the Markels and even taking aim at the judge, Donna's team made their most defiant stand yet.

Donna Adelson didn't beg for mercy at sentencing—she grabbed the mic and tried to rewrite history. In this raw, emotionally fractured courtroom speech, Donna portrayed herself not as a conspirator—but as a victim. “There are two crimes,” she declared. “The second is taking my life.” Her voice cracked, her story crumbled, and what we witnessed was more than denial—it was psychological collapse playing out live. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect: What narcissistic collapse really looks and sounds like when the façade finally breaks Why Donna's repeated references to her grandchildren, oaths on her life, and attacks on the system reveal more about control than conscience How emotional manipulation works in sentencing statements—and why selective grief is a red flag The psychological toll of living inside a family system built on secrecy, power, and self-preservation This isn't just courtroom drama. It's behavioral dissection.

In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect: What narcissistic collapse really looks and sounds like when the façade finally breaks Why Donna's repeated references to her grandchildren, oaths on her life, and attacks on the system reveal more about control than conscience How emotional manipulation works in sentencing statements—and why selective grief is a red flag The psychological toll of living inside a family system built on secrecy, power, and self-preservation This isn't just courtroom drama. It's behavioral dissection.

Donna Adelson was sentenced to life in prison—but you wouldn't know it by her behavior in court. What was meant to be a solemn moment of justice turned into a shocking display of entitlement, arrogance, and complete lack of remorse. In this episode, we break down the bizarre spectacle of Donna's sentencing. From her declaration of innocence to her scolding of the jury and the judge, Donna seemed more interested in controlling the narrative than accepting her fate. But it didn't end there—her husband Harvey doubled down with a tone-deaf rant blaming the system, the media, and the world for their downfall. We cover:  • Donna's courtroom performance—defiance over remorse  • Judge Everett's powerful rebuttal  • Harvey Adelson's surreal tirade  • The parade of tone-deaf “supporters”  • The contrast with the Markel family's grace and silence This wasn't justice denied—it was justice exposed. A family so consumed by narcissism, they turned a sentencing hearing into a theater of delusion. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #MarkelMurder #CourtroomDrama #AdelsonFamily #LifeSentence #TrueCrimeAnalysis #NarcissismInCourt #JusticeForDan #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On July 18, 2014, hired hitmen named Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera hunted down law professor Dan Markel and shot him in Tallahassee, Florida. He died the next day. Katherine Magbanua, the mother of Garcia's children, was implicated in the plot, as was her former boyfriend Charles Adelson, Markel's former brother-in-law. Garcia, Charles Adelson, and Magbanua received exentsive sentences, with Rivera acting as a cooperating witness and cutting a deal. Most recently, Donna Adelson, the victim's former mother-in-law, was convicted of first degree murders, conspiracy, and solicitation on September 4, 2025. On October 13, 2025, she was sentenced to life in prison. We will talk about the sentencing hearing in this case.Check out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“I am going to prison for a murder I did not commit.” Donna Adelson's speech was a list of grievances, an attack on the Markel family that should have never been allowed to happen. Judge Everett let the Markel family down in this hearing.

Donna Adelson's story ends where it always seemed destined to — in control until the very last breath she could muster. At 75 years old, the matriarch of the family that orchestrated the 2014 murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel was officially sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in a Tallahassee courtroom today. Judge Stephen Everett declined her attorneys' plea for leniency, rejecting what they called a “downward departure.” He told the court he would not exercise discretion to reduce her punishment. Adelson will serve life for first-degree murder, plus two concurrent 30-year sentences for conspiracy and solicitation — meaning she will die behind bars. In this special episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke joins Tony to dissect the full sentencing: the courtroom dynamics, the failed bid for sympathy, and what her words — and body language — really revealed. Adelson, sobbing as she addressed the court, maintained her innocence. “I had no knowledge of this plan,” she said. “I swear to you on my life I was not involved.” Judge Everett interrupted twice, citing her “utter lack of remorse.” Her husband Dr. Harvey Adelson followed, lashing out at prosecutors and the Markel family before being cut off by the judge. Robin and Tony break down every layer — how the matriarch tried to frame herself as victim, how her denial fits classic behavioral patterns of control and narcissism, and why her demeanor failed to sway the bench. From a life of status in Miami's upper circle to a prison cell in Florida, Donna Adelson's fall is total. And the ripple effect continues — with the looming question: Will others in the Adelson family face consequences next? #HiddenKillers #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #AdelsonFamily #LifeSentence #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeServed #CourtroomDrama #FloridaCrime #FSULaw Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B invites her patrons for a lively and unfiltered Assembly of Classmates — an open discussion that blends current events, humor, and raw honesty. The conversation kicks off with introductions and setting the tone for the group’s engaging dialogue [00:00], before diving headfirst into the New Orleans jailbreak and the chaos that followed [02:50]. The group examines how crime, justice, and media narratives often collide, sparking debate over public perception versus personal accountability. From there, the conversation pivots to the highly publicized Diddy sentencing, with Mandii and her patrons questioning whether the punishment fits the crime [06:10]. Through sharp commentary and witty exchanges, they unpack what justice looks like in a celebrity-driven culture, and how public opinion often influences legal outcomes. Things take a provocative turn as the group addresses Cam Newton’s controversial request for a list of his partner’s past sexual partners [14:31]. This sparks an intense, funny, and revealing conversation about trust, transparency, and insecurity in modern relationships. The discussion deepens as they debate relationship standards and emotional baggage [34:58], moving into how people navigate secrets, pasts, and expectations with new partners [40:18]. As the dialogue unfolds, Mandii and the patrons examine the complexity of sexual history and double standards in dating [44:55], questioning whether full disclosure builds intimacy or fuels insecurity. The debate evolves into a broader reflection on judgment, dating preferences, and the pressure to uphold certain moral standards in modern society[50:05–55:47]. The episode then shifts into a heartfelt yet hilarious exploration of family dynamics and financial responsibility[01:00:08], where the group calls out the hypocrisy in parenting, relationships, and “doing it all” culture. Finally, they close with a thoughtful look at intentionality in relationships and parenthood [01:04:29], emphasizing that personal growth and honest communication are at the heart of healthy connections. With a mix of real talk, laughter, and perspective, this Selective Ignorance bonus episode captures the essence of Mandii B’s community — candid conversations that challenge norms, encourage vulnerability, and remind listeners that learning through dialogue is the ultimate act of growth. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donna Adelson is back in court sooner than we thought. Donna Adelson, the matriarch of the Adelson family, was found guilty of the murder of her ex son in law and FSU Law Professor Dan Markel. Now her fate will be sealed as she finds out how long she'll serve--and what hope she has for the future. Donna isn't the first one in her family to be locked up for Dan Markel's murder. Her son, Charlie Adelson, is behind bars for life. Charlie and Donna were found to be the ring leaders of a murder for hire plot to help Wendi Adelson, Dan Markel's ex-wife, get custody of her two young boys and move back to Miami. The question now is will any other family members go down for the murder of Dan Markel? Thanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
