Eric Oliver explores the universal impact of persuasive communication, highlighting its pivotal role in shaping perceptions and decisions in everyday interactions and legal contexts alike. Our ability to focus is now fleeting, fragile, and fragmented—characteristics that have been part of our collective attention span well before the advent of cell phones. This impairment in our attention makes it crucial to employ nonverbal and visual strategies to capture and maintain focus. For trial lawyers, this means crafting and presenting their cases more as engaging stories than mere collections of facts, ensuring these narratives resonate with the implicit biases and assumptions held by roughly half of today's jurors. This approach, along with sharing effective methods to combat attention deficits in the courtroom—or any setting—aims to improve focus and comprehension for everyone involved. Eric Oliver boasts an extensive career spanning 40 years in national trial consulting, where he has been instrumental in coaching and assisting trial attorneys. His profound knowledge and expertise have played critical roles in numerous cases, leading to unprecedented successes and advantages for clients from prestigious law firms to innovative individual practices. Specializing in the influence of persuasive communication on the interpretation of case facts and their effect on legal judgments, Eric underscores the necessity for attorneys to invest considerable effort into presenting a well-crafted case narrative through verbal, visual, and non-verbal means.

In the ever-twisting saga of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, a recent revelation has thrown a new curveball into the mix. Chad Daybell, fighting for his life and trying to avoid the death penalty, has pointed the finger at Lori, alleging manipulation and control. This development was discussed in depth on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, where host Tony Brueski was joined by Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine to dissect these latest twists. Constantine, an expert in deciphering hidden truths in human behavior, was not surprised by Chad's move. "It was predictable," she stated. Throughout the ordeal, she believed that Chad was setting the stage to betray Lori, a plan that has now come to fruition. "I'm sure that Lori Vallow is wallowing in her self-pity in that jail cell... I don't think she thought for one minute that she was going to be betrayed by him," Constantine added, shedding light on the possible shock this betrayal might have caused Lori. The podcast delved into the intricacies of their relationship, examining how each might have influenced the other in the lead-up to the tragic events they are accused of orchestrating. Constantine drew parallels with the Casey Anthony trial, where a similar strategy was employed - using a family member as a scapegoat. Constantine expressed her curiosity about Lori Vallow's mental state in the wake of this development. "This is a person who has been controlled by Chad Daybell, bought into the whole cult belief and zombies... she is so indoctrinated into Chad Daybell's cult belief that I think that at this point in time, it's going to be like a huge big wave of awakening for her," she explained. Regarding the possibility of Lori testifying against Chad, Constantine hoped for a turn of events where Lori might retaliate against Chad's betrayal. "Wouldn't that be great for her to take the stand and then say, 'Well, you threw me under the bus and you abandoned me. Now, guess what? I'm going to tell them what really happened'," Constantine mused. However, she acknowledged the risks involved in such a move, given the unpredictable nature of both Lori and Chad's personalities. The discussion also touched upon Chad's ability to manipulate and control narratives. Constantine described him as "highly narcissistic" and "detached from reality," but also "very cunning." She questioned whether his level of narcissism and detachment from the horrific nature of their alleged crimes would allow him to convincingly perform in front of a jury. As the podcast concluded, Brueski and Constantine reflected on the broader implications of the case. They pondered the mental health crisis evident in such extreme cases and the societal factors that might contribute to such tragic outcomes. The "Hidden Killers" episode leaves listeners with a thought-provoking question: In the shadowy world of Chad and Lori Daybell, where manipulation and delusion intertwine, can justice ever truly be served?

In the bewildering case of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, the question looms: Who holds the reins of manipulation? The latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, featuring Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine, delves into this enigma, shedding light on the recent shocking twist – Chad Daybell has flipped on Lori, accusing her of manipulation and sexual control. As this sinister tale unfolds, Constantine offers her expert insight into the dynamics of the Daybell's relationship and the implications of Chad's recent claims. "Everybody, if you get them talking long enough, they're going to hang themselves, and that's exactly what's happened," Constantine states. Chad's revelation that Lori used emotional and sexual manipulation points to a complicated interplay of control and influence. Yet, this admission, as Constantine suggests, might inadvertently point to his own guilt. The conversation then pivots to the age-old debate of who is more culpable in this intricate web of deceit and murder. While it's unclear whether Chad or Lori is the true mastermind behind the horrific acts, Constantine reflects on the pattern of deaths surrounding both individuals. "Who would want them both dead?" she ponders, alluding to the deaths on both sides of their families. This pattern suggests a mutual desire to erase their pasts and start anew, a chilling prospect in the narrative of their crimes. Constantine further explores the genesis of their shared delusion. "Initially, I think that Chad was the one that indoctrinated her into this other world," she asserts, painting Chad as the false prophet who drew Lori into his twisted world view. This indoctrination, according to Constantine, set the stage for the heinous acts that followed. Brueski and Constantine also touch upon the broader implications of such manipulative control in cults, drawing parallels with notorious cases like Waco and Jonestown. "How could they persuade so many people to do such horrible, heinous things?" Constantine asks, highlighting the terrifying power of manipulation in the hands of charismatic leaders. The discussion inevitably leads to pondering the potential escalation of the Daybells' influence had they not been stopped. "Would this have turned into a bigger cult had those events not taken place?" Brueski speculates, underlining the dangerous trajectory the couple was on. As the conversation winds down, Constantine expresses her dismay at the growing mental health crisis that seems to be at the root of many such incomprehensible cases. "What's happening to our world and society?" she questions, signaling a deep concern for the rising tide of mental illness and its implications in criminal behavior. The episode of "Hidden Killers" leaves the audience with a profound and unsettling question: In the shadowy world of Chad and Lori Daybell, where lies intertwine with delusions, can we ever truly discern the puppet master from the puppet? And as this saga continues to unravel, what other dark secrets might emerge from the depths of their disturbed minds? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Can a person be inherently evil, devoid of the basic human emotions that guide our moral compass? This unsettling question surfaces as we delve into the disturbing case of Lori Vallow Daybell, which has been a subject of intense scrutiny on the podcast "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski. In a recent episode, Brueski and Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine analyze the chilling mindset of Vallow Daybell, whose case continues to unfold. Governor Brad Little's recent signing of an executive agreement to extradite Vallow Daybell to Arizona on conspiracy to commit murder charges ensures that the public eye will once again be trained on her. "The question is not just about legal fitness to stand trial but about the moral incomprehensibility of her actions," remarks Constantine. The case draws a grim portrait of a woman enshrouded in her convictions so deeply that they've led to heinous crimes. Reflecting on Vallow Daybell's sentencing hearing, Constantine observed, "It was shocking to watch her demeanor... She really believed it." Vallow Daybell's words seemed to echo a warped sense of reality, talking about her deceased children's jobs in heaven. This behavior strikes at the core of the issue: whether Vallow Daybell is spinning a narrative she believes to be true, or if it is an act to manipulate those around her. Her involvement in a string of deaths, including those of her children and former husband, has branded her in the public eye as the "Doomsday Mom," a title that speaks to the apocalyptic beliefs she shared with her fifth husband, Chad Daybell. The couple's beliefs, which included the idea that her children had become "zombies," led to an alarming series of events culminating in the tragic deaths. Constantine shares a chilling perspective: "There are very few humans on this planet that are just plain evil... I believe there is something that happens to them at the core of their being." The discussion delves into the nature of evil, examining whether individuals like Vallow Daybell are a product of their environment or if their malevolence is innate. Tony Brueski questions the efficacy and purpose of putting Vallow Daybell on trial again, considering she's already serving a life sentence without parole. "Does it make sense to re-traumatize the families... for someone who's never going to admit their guilt?" Constantine responds with a hard truth: "At what point in time do you just wave the white flag and give up?" The conversation turns metaphysical as Constantine recounts her own experiences with defendants transforming in front of her, suggesting that Vallow Daybell may be under the influence of a profound darkness. "They don't have those normal feelings like humans have," Constantine asserts. She suggests that this darkness is beyond the realm of mental illness—it is a pure, undiluted evil. Further exploration into the mind of Vallow Daybell touches on the psychological journey that leads someone down such a dark path. The podcast discusses the possibility of indoctrination and the role of a narcissistic and antisocial personality disorder in shaping a person's psyche to become capable of such crimes. This article poses probing questions about the essence of evil and the human capacity for change, painting a stark picture of a woman caught in the abyss of her delusions. As Lori Vallow Daybell prepares to face the courts once more, one must wonder, what is the threshold for redemption in the eyes of society, and can someone like her ever cross it? Or is the true face of evil one that remains shrouded in darkness, beyond the reach of empathy and remorse? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's every parent's nightmare: a medical institution diagnosing their child, and then a subsequent loss of custody based on questionable claims. But when the institutions you trust begin to make unverifiable assumptions about parents, what remains of justice? On a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, a concerning pattern emerged during a conversation with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert, Susan Constantine. Brueski broached a concerning topic regarding Dr. Smith, whose role at Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital appeared to be absent of the checks and balances we often associate with justice. This lack of oversight led Constantine to reveal a startling connection. "Okay. So there is a route to all of this," she began. In Orlando, a psychological firm wrote a book on Munchausen's by proxy disorder. Constantine noted that despite it being a rare condition, there's been a significant influx of women diagnosed in that area. Contrary to the conventional understanding of Munchausen's by proxy disorder, where a guardian may fake a child's illness, these mothers are accused of the opposite – trying to help their children recover from genuine health issues. Constantine goes on to claim, "Here is the person that wrote this book that literally removed the children from my dear friend of 40 years." Though she is able to read people well, being a body language expert, she has seen no signs of Munchausen's by proxy disorder in her friend. Instead, she describes an alarming pattern in which women, primarily mothers, are being wrongly diagnosed by a forensic psychologist, now colloquially termed as "Dr. XYZ moms". This chain of diagnosis and removal of children has extensive implications, particularly in child custody battles. "The courts say you have to go through counseling for co-parenting... and whoever it is that has the biggest, widest pockets," Constantine explains. Those with more financial means, typically fathers, can exploit this diagnosis to gain full custody of their children. With the false diagnosis of Munchausen's by proxy disorder, mothers are effectively removed from their children's lives, permanently. Complicating the matter further is the monetization of this system. This Orlando-based firm, according to Constantine, charges large sums for evaluations, leaving countless families grappling with not only the loss of their children but significant financial burdens as well. Brueski's probing question about the motive behind such actions illuminates a larger issue. "Is this something where overall there needs to be reform in the entire system?" he asks. Indeed, Constantine points to the formation of collaborative law groups that control a significant portion of these processes. These groups, comprised of forensic psychologists and arbitrators for custody battles, form a tightly-knit community. The implication is clear: expose one, and the whole system might collapse. It's a sobering realization when those tasked with justice seem entwined in questionable practices. Constantine's revelations, interwoven with personal experiences and ties to those affected, paint a disturbing picture. One where justice isn't just blind; it might also be compromised. At the heart of this narrative is the issue of training, or rather the lack of it. Constantine describes her experience with training workers in the Department of Children and Families. Their lack of expertise and inadequate training leaves them ill-equipped to handle sensitive family matters, leading to decisions that often rip families apart. In concluding the interview, Brueski and Constantine shed light on an urgent need for reform and proper training. With families being torn apart based on unverified and often false diagnoses, the question becomes: How many more lives will be shattered before the system rights its wrongs?Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Demise Of the Daybells | The Lori Vallow Daybell & Chad Daybell Story
Can a person be inherently evil, devoid of the basic human emotions that guide our moral compass? This unsettling question surfaces as we delve into the disturbing case of Lori Vallow Daybell, which has been a subject of intense scrutiny on the podcast "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski. In a recent episode, Brueski and Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine analyze the chilling mindset of Vallow Daybell, whose case continues to unfold. Governor Brad Little's recent signing of an executive agreement to extradite Vallow Daybell to Arizona on conspiracy to commit murder charges ensures that the public eye will once again be trained on her. "The question is not just about legal fitness to stand trial but about the moral incomprehensibility of her actions," remarks Constantine. The case draws a grim portrait of a woman enshrouded in her convictions so deeply that they've led to heinous crimes. Reflecting on Vallow Daybell's sentencing hearing, Constantine observed, "It was shocking to watch her demeanor... She really believed it." Vallow Daybell's words seemed to echo a warped sense of reality, talking about her deceased children's jobs in heaven. This behavior strikes at the core of the issue: whether Vallow Daybell is spinning a narrative she believes to be true, or if it is an act to manipulate those around her. Her involvement in a string of deaths, including those of her children and former husband, has branded her in the public eye as the "Doomsday Mom," a title that speaks to the apocalyptic beliefs she shared with her fifth husband, Chad Daybell. The couple's beliefs, which included the idea that her children had become "zombies," led to an alarming series of events culminating in the tragic deaths. Constantine shares a chilling perspective: "There are very few humans on this planet that are just plain evil... I believe there is something that happens to them at the core of their being." The discussion delves into the nature of evil, examining whether individuals like Vallow Daybell are a product of their environment or if their malevolence is innate. Tony Brueski questions the efficacy and purpose of putting Vallow Daybell on trial again, considering she's already serving a life sentence without parole. "Does it make sense to re-traumatize the families... for someone who's never going to admit their guilt?" Constantine responds with a hard truth: "At what point in time do you just wave the white flag and give up?" The conversation turns metaphysical as Constantine recounts her own experiences with defendants transforming in front of her, suggesting that Vallow Daybell may be under the influence of a profound darkness. "They don't have those normal feelings like humans have," Constantine asserts. She suggests that this darkness is beyond the realm of mental illness—it is a pure, undiluted evil. Further exploration into the mind of Vallow Daybell touches on the psychological journey that leads someone down such a dark path. The podcast discusses the possibility of indoctrination and the role of a narcissistic and antisocial personality disorder in shaping a person's psyche to become capable of such crimes. This article poses probing questions about the essence of evil and the human capacity for change, painting a stark picture of a woman caught in the abyss of her delusions. As Lori Vallow Daybell prepares to face the courts once more, one must wonder, what is the threshold for redemption in the eyes of society, and can someone like her ever cross it? Or is the true face of evil one that remains shrouded in darkness, beyond the reach of empathy and remorse? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's every parent's nightmare: a medical institution diagnosing their child, and then a subsequent loss of custody based on questionable claims. But when the institutions you trust begin to make unverifiable assumptions about parents, what remains of justice? On a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, a concerning pattern emerged during a conversation with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert, Susan Constantine. Brueski broached a concerning topic regarding Dr. Smith, whose role at Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital appeared to be absent of the checks and balances we often associate with justice. This lack of oversight led Constantine to reveal a startling connection. "Okay. So there is a route to all of this," she began. In Orlando, a psychological firm wrote a book on Munchausen's by proxy disorder. Constantine noted that despite it being a rare condition, there's been a significant influx of women diagnosed in that area. Contrary to the conventional understanding of Munchausen's by proxy disorder, where a guardian may fake a child's illness, these mothers are accused of the opposite – trying to help their children recover from genuine health issues. Constantine goes on to claim, "Here is the person that wrote this book that literally removed the children from my dear friend of 40 years." Though she is able to read people well, being a body language expert, she has seen no signs of Munchausen's by proxy disorder in her friend. Instead, she describes an alarming pattern in which women, primarily mothers, are being wrongly diagnosed by a forensic psychologist, now colloquially termed as "Dr. XYZ moms". This chain of diagnosis and removal of children has extensive implications, particularly in child custody battles. "The courts say you have to go through counseling for co-parenting... and whoever it is that has the biggest, widest pockets," Constantine explains. Those with more financial means, typically fathers, can exploit this diagnosis to gain full custody of their children.

Can someone truly be devoid of guilt in the face of heinous crimes? The "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski takes a deep dive into the twisted mind of Lori Vallow Daybell as she faces extradition to Arizona on conspiracy to commit murder charges. The hosts, alongside Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine, explore the complexities of Lori's mental state and the legal ramifications it holds. The podcast discussion opens with the impending journey for Lori, whose case has grabbed headlines and chilled the public to the bone. Governor Brad Little's signing of the executive agreement to extradite Lori raises the question once more – is she fit to stand trial? Constantine sheds light on Lori's sentencing hearing, where Lori's speech about the children and heaven struck many as a disturbing narrative spun by a deluded mind. "I think she believes wholeheartedly the tale that she's spinning," Constantine says. According to her, Lori's demeanor suggested a deep-seated conviction in her own narrative, indicative of a cult-like belief system. The conversation turns darker as the experts ponder whether Lori possesses any guilt or shame for her actions. "She thinks that what she did was right," Constantine reveals, a chilling insight into Lori's psyche. This poses a profound question for the legal system: does it make sense to try someone who may never recognize their guilt or feel the weight of their actions? The hosts discuss the nature of justice and what it means for the victims' families. The re-traumatization of these families becomes a central concern, weighed against the perceived futility of expecting any form of remorse from Lori. Brueski reflects, "Does it make sense, though, to re-traumatize oneself again, having to go through all of this with someone who is never going to admit their guilt?" As the conversation unfolds, Constantine touches upon the nature of evil. She expresses a rare but firm belief that some individuals are just "plain evil," a concept difficult for many to grasp. The discussion extends into the philosophical as they consider the existence of evil as an inherent part of human nature. This brings into question the expectations society might hold for Lori to one day feel empathy for her actions – an expectation that Constantine finds implausible. The expert's analysis of Lori's mental state draws a distinction between mental illness and pure malevolence, suggesting that Lori's actions were not the product of insanity but of an intrinsic evil. Constantine's perspective challenges the narrative that mental illness is always at the root of such crimes, "She's got mental illness, but I think that she's just plain evil." As they delve into the future of Lori's legal battles, the hosts of "Hidden Killers" ponder the effectiveness of the justice system in dealing with such an individual. The trial, the pursuit of justice, the hope for remorse – all become questionable in the face of what Constantine describes as a lack of common ground between light and darkness. In closing, the podcast leaves its audience with a haunting consideration. Is expecting someone who is "doomed" to change a futile hope? Does the quest for justice end at punishment, or is there a deeper need for the perpetrator to acknowledge their crimes and show repentance? With the case of Lori Vallow Daybell, society may have to confront the uncomfortable possibility that some individuals may be beyond the emotional reach of remorse and guilt – a troubling thought that challenges our very understanding of justice and human nature.

The podcast discussion opens with the impending journey for Lori, whose case has grabbed headlines and chilled the public to the bone. Governor Brad Little's signing of the executive agreement to extradite Lori raises the question once more – is she fit to stand trial? Constantine sheds light on Lori's sentencing hearing, where Lori's speech about the children and heaven struck many as a disturbing narrative spun by a deluded mind. "I think she believes wholeheartedly the tale that she's spinning," Constantine says. According to her, Lori's demeanor suggested a deep-seated conviction in her own narrative, indicative of a cult-like belief system. The conversation turns darker as the experts ponder whether Lori possesses any guilt or shame for her actions. "She thinks that what she did was right," Constantine reveals, a chilling insight into Lori's psyche. This poses a profound question for the legal system: does it make sense to try someone who may never recognize their guilt or feel the weight of their actions? The hosts discuss the nature of justice and what it means for the victims' families. The re-traumatization of these families becomes a central concern, weighed against the perceived futility of expecting any form of remorse from Lori. Brueski reflects, "Does it make sense, though, to re-traumatize oneself again, having to go through all of this with someone who is never going to admit their guilt?" As the conversation unfolds, Constantine touches upon the nature of evil. She expresses a rare but firm belief that some individuals are just "plain evil," a concept difficult for many to grasp. The discussion extends into the philosophical as they consider the existence of evil as an inherent part of human nature. This brings into question the expectations society might hold for Lori to one day feel empathy for her actions – an expectation that Constantine finds implausible. The expert's analysis of Lori's mental state draws a distinction between mental illness and pure malevolence, suggesting that Lori's actions were not the product of insanity but of an intrinsic evil. Constantine's perspective challenges the narrative that mental illness is always at the root of such crimes, "She's got mental illness, but I think that she's just plain evil." As they delve into the future of Lori's legal battles, the hosts of "Hidden Killers" ponder the effectiveness of the justice system in dealing with such an individual. The trial, the pursuit of justice, the hope for remorse – all become questionable in the face of what Constantine describes as a lack of common ground between light and darkness. In closing, the podcast leaves its audience with a haunting consideration. Is expecting someone who is "doomed" to change a futile hope? Does the quest for justice end at punishment, or is there a deeper need for the perpetrator to acknowledge their crimes and show repentance? With the case of Lori Vallow Daybell, society may have to confront the uncomfortable possibility that some individuals may be beyond the emotional reach of remorse and guilt – a troubling thought that challenges our very understanding of justice and human nature.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In a heart-wrenching episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and guest, Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert, Susan Constantine, dove deep into a haunting tale of misdiagnosis, systemic failures, and profound loss. Their discussion prompts a disturbing question: Are some children being taken away from their loving homes based on misunderstandings and flawed assessments? Brueski paints a grim picture of the situation, noting, “We have so many issues, it seems with CPS. And things not being taken action on, and children being left in horrific situations. What is going on here where we have kids that literally have good homes...ripped out of their parents arms when they need the most?” Constantine's connection to this issue is deeply personal. She recounts the story of a close friend whose children were forcibly removed because of a misdiagnosis: Munchausen's by proxy disorder. The disorder, in its essence, is when a caregiver or parent fabricates, exaggerates, or induces illness in a person under their care for attention or other gains. However, as Constantine points out, it was “debunked almost five years ago” and is now referred to as a "fictitious disorder." This leads to the harrowing account of Maya Kowalski, a child experiencing excruciating pain that baffled medical professionals. As her mother sought answers and treatments both within the United States and beyond, she was met with skepticism and mistrust. Despite the mother's attempts to articulate her daughter's journey and the treatments she'd discovered, it was misconstrued as over-medicalization. Ultimately, it led to a tragic end with Maya's mother succumbing to despair and taking her own life. One of the most chilling aspects discussed is the potential for a financial incentive in removing children from their homes. Vinnie Politan, as mentioned by Constantine, explored this on Court TV. But beyond financial motives lies the broader issue of trust in so-called "expert" assessments. Constantine expressed her frustration, saying, “it's mind-blowing to me that we are getting to a place where these authorities that are so-called experts are trained...and diagnosing or to see the symptoms of abuse and how wrong they can be.” Dr. Chopra, a pain medical doctor who testified in a related trial, painted a picture of the severity of Maya's pain, emphasizing that it surpassed that of childbirth, cancer, or even amputation. How could a parent, desperate for relief for their child, be so grossly misunderstood? One figure repeatedly mentioned in the podcast is Dr. Sally Smith, who diagnosed several cases as Munchausen's by proxy, including Maya's and a runner-up from American Idol. This, as Constantine states, represents a "real problem" with officials "taking matters into their own hands, causing so much distress, anxiety, endangerment, mental and physical, to these children." Towards the end of the episode, listeners are reminded of the profound humanity at the heart of this issue. Constantine recounts a moving encounter outside a courtroom with Maya's grieving family. The group, united by shared pain, found solace in praying together, a moment that underscored the very real emotional toll of these systemic issues. In light of this conversation, we are left to grapple with the complex interplay of medical, societal, and bureaucratic factors that can have devastating impacts on families. Yet, as Brueski and Constantine demonstrate, there is also space for empathy, understanding, and a collective call to action. As we reflect on the issues discussed, we are left with a haunting question: How many more families must suffer before systemic changes are implemented? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's every parent's nightmare: a medical institution diagnosing their child, and then a subsequent loss of custody based on questionable claims. But when the institutions you trust begin to make unverifiable assumptions about parents, what remains of justice? On a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, a concerning pattern emerged during a conversation with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert, Susan Constantine. Brueski broached a concerning topic regarding Dr. Smith, whose role at Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital appeared to be absent of the checks and balances we often associate with justice. This lack of oversight led Constantine to reveal a startling connection. "Okay. So there is a route to all of this," she began. In Orlando, a psychological firm wrote a book on Munchausen's by proxy disorder. Constantine noted that despite it being a rare condition, there's been a significant influx of women diagnosed in that area. Contrary to the conventional understanding of Munchausen's by proxy disorder, where a guardian may fake a child's illness, these mothers are accused of the opposite – trying to help their children recover from genuine health issues. Constantine goes on to claim, "Here is the person that wrote this book that literally removed the children from my dear friend of 40 years." Though she is able to read people well, being a body language expert, she has seen no signs of Munchausen's by proxy disorder in her friend. Instead, she describes an alarming pattern in which women, primarily mothers, are being wrongly diagnosed by a forensic psychologist, now colloquially termed as "Dr. XYZ moms". This chain of diagnosis and removal of children has extensive implications, particularly in child custody battles. "The courts say you have to go through counseling for co-parenting... and whoever it is that has the biggest, widest pockets," Constantine explains. Those with more financial means, typically fathers, can exploit this diagnosis to gain full custody of their children. With the false diagnosis of Munchausen's by proxy disorder, mothers are effectively removed from their children's lives, permanently. Complicating the matter further is the monetization of this system. This Orlando-based firm, according to Constantine, charges large sums for evaluations, leaving countless families grappling with not only the loss of their children but significant financial burdens as well. Brueski's probing question about the motive behind such actions illuminates a larger issue. "Is this something where overall there needs to be reform in the entire system?" he asks. Indeed, Constantine points to the formation of collaborative law groups that control a significant portion of these processes. These groups, comprised of forensic psychologists and arbitrators for custody battles, form a tightly-knit community. The implication is clear: expose one, and the whole system might collapse. It's a sobering realization when those tasked with justice seem entwined in questionable practices. Constantine's revelations, interwoven with personal experiences and ties to those affected, paint a disturbing picture. One where justice isn't just blind; it might also be compromised. At the heart of this narrative is the issue of training, or rather the lack of it. Constantine describes her experience with training workers in the department of children and families. Their lack of expertise and inadequate training leaves them ill-equipped to handle sensitive family matters, leading to decisions that often rip families apart. In concluding the interview, Brueski and Constantine shed light on an urgent need for reform and proper training. With families being torn apart based on unverified and often false diagnoses, the question becomes: How many more lives will be shattered before the system rights its wrongs?

Is the medical community misusing the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis and causing more harm than good? In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski delves into the controversial and distressing topic of the misuse of the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis with guest Susan Constantine, a Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert. Munchausen by proxy is a mental health disorder where a caregiver, often a parent, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick. The diagnosis, while legitimate in some cases, can be used improperly, leading to devastating consequences for families. Central to the discussion was the disturbing case surrounding a doctor named Sally Smith. Although Dr. Smith recently retired and settled with the family involved, the ramifications of her actions linger. "Look at the damage this person did," Brueski points out, emphasizing the need for systemic changes in the medical community to prevent such misuse in the future. The alarming revelation from the podcast was the advice given to Brueski and Constantine from an expert in the field: "You need to go after the hospitals, you need to go after the doctors, you need to go after the departments." This insight suggests that the broader medical community may be inadvertently complicit in these tragic cases. Constantine emphasized the upcoming MAYA trial, which she believes will set a precedent. If Maya's case results in a win, it could pave the way for more lawsuits against medical professionals and institutions. "These guys are going to start hiding, and they're going to start stopping," predicts Constantine. "You got to hit them where it hurts, and that's right in the pocketbook." The complexities of the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis also came under scrutiny. How does one conclusively diagnose someone with such a disorder? While Constantine acknowledges she isn't a medical professional, she raises valid concerns. She notes signs such as a child repeatedly reported as sick every time they're under their mother's care or excessive protectiveness of the child. However, she suggests a more rigorous approach to diagnosis involving external, unassociated doctors for a balanced opinion. Drawing parallels to other distressing cases like the Didi Blanchard case in Springfield, Missouri, Constantine highlights the challenges in diagnosing psychological disorders. The reliance on "opinion" rather than fact, coupled with a lack of objective analysis, creates a slippery slope that can lead to incorrect and potentially damaging diagnoses. The conversation also touched on the possible motivations behind misdiagnoses, pointing to potential ulterior motives like research opportunities. In one anecdote, Constantine speaks of how a child was subjected to manipulative "games" to determine if she was "faking it." Such practices raise significant ethical concerns. Perhaps most heart-wrenching is the real-world consequences of these misdiagnoses. Constantine recounts how a mother, misdiagnosed with Munchausen by proxy, faced societal judgment and ostracization, despite multiple other doctors asserting she didn't have the disorder. In another case, a misdiagnosis had tragic consequences, with the mother, overwhelmed by the accusations, taking her own life. Given the gravity of the implications of such diagnoses, both Brueski and Constantine conclude that there needs to be a shift in how these cases are approached. Constantine states, "We're relying on people's opinion. There is no fact to it." This lack of objective evidence combined with potential biases, whether from personal egos or institutional pressures, is a recipe for disaster. While the conversation raises more questions than it answers, it is evident that there is a need for reform in how the medical community approaches such sensitive cases. Trust in the medical profession is paramount, and when that trust is undermined, it has profound consequences on society. As the article concludes, it's worth pondering: How many more families need to be torn apart before there is a systemic change in diagnosing Munchausen by proxy?

Constantine recounts how a mother, misdiagnosed with Munchausen by proxy, faced societal judgment and ostracization, despite multiple other doctors asserting she didn't have the disorder.

Given the gravity of the implications of such diagnoses, both Brueski and Constantine conclude that there needs to be a shift in how these cases are approached. Constantine states, "We're relying on people's opinion. There is no fact to it." This lack of objective evidence combined with potential biases, whether from personal egos or institutional pressures, is a recipe for disaster.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Is the medical community misusing the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis and causing more harm than good? In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski delves into the controversial and distressing topic of the misuse of the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis with guest Susan Constantine, a Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert. Munchausen by proxy is a mental health disorder where a caregiver, often a parent, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick. The diagnosis, while legitimate in some cases, can be used improperly, leading to devastating consequences for families. Central to the discussion was the disturbing case surrounding a doctor named Sally Smith. Although Dr. Smith recently retired and settled with the family involved, the ramifications of her actions linger. "Look at the damage this person did," Brueski points out, emphasizing the need for systemic changes in the medical community to prevent such misuse in the future. The alarming revelation from the podcast was the advice given to Brueski and Constantine from an expert in the field: "You need to go after the hospitals, you need to go after the doctors, you need to go after the departments." This insight suggests that the broader medical community may be inadvertently complicit in these tragic cases. Constantine emphasized the upcoming MAYA trial, which she believes will set a precedent. If Maya's case results in a win, it could pave the way for more lawsuits against medical professionals and institutions. "These guys are going to start hiding, and they're going to start stopping," predicts Constantine. "You got to hit them where it hurts, and that's right in the pocketbook." The complexities of the Munchausen by proxy diagnosis also came under scrutiny. How does one conclusively diagnose someone with such a disorder? While Constantine acknowledges she isn't a medical professional, she raises valid concerns. She notes signs such as a child repeatedly reported as sick every time they're under their mother's care or excessive protectiveness of the child. However, she suggests a more rigorous approach to diagnosis involving external, unassociated doctors for a balanced opinion. Drawing parallels to other distressing cases like the Didi Blanchard case in Springfield, Missouri, Constantine highlights the challenges in diagnosing psychological disorders. The reliance on "opinion" rather than fact, coupled with a lack of objective analysis, creates a slippery slope that can lead to incorrect and potentially damaging diagnoses. The conversation also touched on the possible motivations behind misdiagnoses, pointing to potential ulterior motives like research opportunities. In one anecdote, Constantine speaks of how a child was subjected to manipulative "games" to determine if she was "faking it." Such practices raise significant ethical concerns. Perhaps most heart-wrenching is the real-world consequences of these misdiagnoses.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In the most recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine delved deep into an ongoing criminal case. The revelations from the conversation not only touch on a specific law enforcement figure's alleged omissions and misconduct but also raise broader concerns about the existence of organized and covert "evil" in society. The focal point of their discussion was Tony Liggett, the Carroll County Sheriff. A 136-page document submitted by Richard Allen's defense claims that Liggett either ignored critical evidence or even lied about its existence. The core sentiment echoed by Brueski and Constantine was a clear mistrust in the system, and more broadly, a quest for truth in a world plagued by deception. Constantine noted, "There's so much deception that's going on. Reports that go missing don't go missing because they go missing. They're going missing because somebody is hiding them." The implication is clear: there are elements within our system that might be actively working against the truth. But why? The conversation took an even darker turn when the topic shifted to 'Odinism'. While no documented cases of Odinists performing human sacrifices exist, the larger issue at hand, as presented by the hosts, is the possibility of secretive underground cults, some satanic in nature, involved in heinous acts. The debate then revolved around whether some crimes, including the Delphi murders, could be linked to such cultic practices. Constantine shared her belief about such dark societies. "I do believe that there are these cultic practices out there... Underground clubs, satanic movements that are happening and self-sacrificing." However, despite these strong allegations, it was clear from the conversation that proving these claims is complex and evidence might be scant. Drawing parallels with other infamous cases, including the BTK killer, the crux of the discussion revealed a chilling possibility: individuals or even groups, leading seemingly normal lives by day, might be part of dark, underground networks by night. Brueski hauntingly reflected, "There are boogeymen out there, there's more than we think there are... We see them even institutionally... when they work together, it creates like a mega super monster boogeyman." Yet, what might be the driving force behind such increasing depravity? According to Constantine, a lack of empathy and emotion might be fueling this rise. "The human depravity has grown so rapidly that we have become desensitized to having emotion or feeling or empathy for other people." Her assertion raises a pressing question: are we as a society, knowingly or unknowingly, facilitating the growth of such dark networks? Perhaps more troublingly, could there be external evil forces at play, influencing individuals to commit heinous crimes without remorse? Concluding their conversation, Constantine made a bold statement, emphasizing her belief in true evil forces at work. "There is truly an evil force that is somehow inhabited these types of people that are there being able to do the things that they've done without a sort of conscious or repercussion of it." This insightful episode of "Hidden Killers" not only sheds light on alleged misconduct in a single case but also forces listeners to confront larger, more profound questions. As we go about our daily lives, who might be lurking in the shadows, and more importantly, are we ready to confront the realities of organized evil? How secure is the fabric of our society when secret organizations could be operating right beneath our feet? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski sat down with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert, Susan Constantine, to unpack the courtroom behavior of Brian Kohberger. Last week, the court witnessed Kohberger waiving his right to a speedy trial, sparking a myriad of questions about his overall strategy and intentions. During the interview, Constantine remarked on Kohberger's demeanor when answering the judge's questions. "When I'm watching his behavior, he was very convincing," she observed. "He answered the questions, he listened, his voice tone was confident." Kohberger's assertive responses and the manner he communicated seemed strategic, prompting Constantine to wonder about his overarching legal game plan, especially given the decision to extend the trial. Constantine further discussed the courtroom dynamics, particularly the vigilant role of Kohberger's attorney, who was described as indefatigable in her efforts. "You see his attorney constantly standing up over and over again...she is a real bulldog. For a defendant, you definitely would want to have her as your attorney," commented Constantine. Brueski agreed, noting, "She certainly is spacing this out and making the arguments on his behalf fairly well." However, it's not just Kohberger's behavior that's drawing attention. The defense's strategy seems to be throwing a wide net, planning to bring forth a motion to dismiss based on various reasons, from biased grand juror accusations and alleged inadmissible evidence to claims of prosecutorial misconduct. When asked about this approach, Constantine was straightforward: "I think they're grasping at straws and slinging mud every which way they can." Kohberger's defense, notably his claimed penchant for nighttime driving, was highlighted as being particularly weak. "That seems to be quite his norm, but that is a horrible defense," Constantine asserted. Given this, the defense's varied tactics could be seen as an attempt to defend their client vigorously, even if their foundations appear shaky. While it might appear that the defense is trying everything to get the trial dismissed, it's worth noting that even a dismissal based on one of the reasons doesn't necessarily mean Kohberger would walk free. Brueski explained, "Essentially, if they have an issue with the grand jurors, they would just essentially reconvene another grand jury." This would in effect reset the trial clock. A central point of discussion was the defense's approach to time. Earlier, there was a sense that the defense attorney, Ann Taylor, was trying to move things along swiftly. Now, there appears to be a strategic slowing down. Constantine believes this might be a tactic to buy time, suggesting, "Buying time to restrategize. That's what she's doing." The conversation rounded out with a focus on the upcoming motion to dismiss and whether Kohberger's alibi would remain central to the defense. Constantine expressed that the judge might be providing Kohberger every possible chance, ensuring all bases are covered. "I think that the judge is giving a lot of leeway in Kohberger's case," she concluded. Kohberger's trial continues to be a riveting spectacle. As it unfolds, many will watch closely, parsing every move, every gesture, and every strategy for a deeper understanding of the case's direction. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Killer, haunted the city of Wichita, Kansas for decades, terrorizing residents with a series of brutal murders. While Rader is serving consecutive life terms for the ten known murders he committed, the dark shadow of unsolved cases has always loomed large. Today, new evidence suggests that Rader might be responsible for more crimes than previously believed. Recently, investigators have turned their attention to an abandoned lot that once belonged to Rader in Park City, Kansas. Following excavation work, evidence has been unearthed from the site. Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers", discussed these recent developments with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine. Brueski inquired, "Dennis has been pretty quiet in prison, at least not talking about his crimes. Are you surprised by this recent news?" Constantine drew parallels to the Vallow case, expressing that there might be some knowledge the detectives have, compelling them to excavate Rader's old property. She remarked, "Obviously something that the detectives know about or have some insight into, which is leading 'em to that, to digging up his yard." Constantine also reflected on the increased media attention on serial killers, stating, "It to me, it's like information is becoming all too available of what these guys are doing." She then added a grim perspective on the nature of serial killers: "Everything that I have been taught about serial killers is, they can go dormant for a while, and then that hunger, that desire to re-offend and to re-kill again, never goes away." One point of discussion centered on the power of media and its influence. True crime podcasts, including "Hidden Killers", have brought attention to numerous cold cases, leading desperate families to seek answers. In reference to this phenomenon, Constantine noted, "Something organically [happens]. Then they start sniffing around like dogs, and I think that's what's happening here." Rader's relationship with the media has always been intricate. The BTK Killer is notorious for his desire for media attention. Constantine surmised, "I would think that if I was to put my mind into his thinking, I think that this is an adrenaline rush for him. Why confess when the fun part of it is, for him, the thrill is for them to try to figure it out?" His fascination with media isn't new. In the past, Rader sent coded messages and played games with detectives, aiming to confound and baffle them. Brueski shared that Katherine Ramsland, an author who interviewed Rader for a book, communicated with him mostly through coded messages. Interestingly, just weeks before these latest developments, Katherine Ramsland did not believe Rader had any more undisclosed crimes. Yet, with the discovery at his former property, there's a renewed interest in whether Rader is linked to other unsolved crimes. Brueski emphasized the gravity of the current situation: "This is, I think, one of the biggest new developments in this case since he was actually put away almost 15 years ago." As the true crime community continues to speculate and investigate, the question remains: Is Dennis Rader responsible for more crimes than he confessed to? While the quest for truth and justice continues, the saga of the BTK Killer serves as a chilling reminder of the complex interplay between media, public curiosity, and the dark minds of serial killers.

In the past, Rader sent coded messages and played games with detectives, aiming to confound and baffle them. Brueski shared that Katherine Ramsland, an author who interviewed Rader for a book, communicated with him mostly through coded messages. Interestingly, just weeks before these latest developments, Katherine Ramsland did not believe Rader had any more undisclosed crimes. Yet, with the discovery at his former property, there's a renewed interest in whether Rader is linked to other unsolved crimes. Brueski emphasized the gravity of the current situation: "This is, I think, one of the biggest new developments in this case since he was actually put away almost 15 years ago." As the true crime community continues to speculate and investigate, the question remains: Is Dennis Rader responsible for more crimes than he confessed to? While the quest for truth and justice continues, the saga of the BTK Killer serves as a chilling reminder of the complex interplay between media, public curiosity, and the dark minds of serial killers.

Awaiting Admission: BTK's Unconfessed Crimes | The Dennis Rader Story
Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Killer, haunted the city of Wichita, Kansas for decades, terrorizing residents with a series of brutal murders. While Rader is serving consecutive life terms for the ten known murders he committed, the dark shadow of unsolved cases has always loomed large. Today, new evidence suggests that Rader might be responsible for more crimes than previously believed. Recently, investigators have turned their attention to an abandoned lot that once belonged to Rader in Park City, Kansas. Following excavation work, evidence has been unearthed from the site. Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers", discussed these recent developments with Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine. Brueski inquired, "Dennis has been pretty quiet in prison, at least not talking about his crimes. Are you surprised by this recent news?" Constantine drew parallels to the Vallow case, expressing that there might be some knowledge the detectives have, compelling them to excavate Rader's old property. She remarked, "Obviously something that the detectives know about or have some insight into, which is leading 'em to that, to digging up his yard." Constantine also reflected on the increased media attention on serial killers, stating, "It to me, it's like information is becoming all too available of what these guys are doing." She then added a grim perspective on the nature of serial killers: "Everything that I have been taught about serial killers is, they can go dormant for a while, and then that hunger, that desire to re-offend and to re-kill again, never goes away." One point of discussion centered on the power of media and its influence. True crime podcasts, including "Hidden Killers", have brought attention to numerous cold cases, leading desperate families to seek answers. In reference to this phenomenon, Constantine noted, "Something organically [happens]. Then they start sniffing around like dogs, and I think that's what's happening here." Rader's relationship with the media has always been intricate. The BTK Killer is notorious for his desire for media attention. Constantine surmised, "I would think that if I was to put my mind into his thinking, I think that this is an adrenaline rush for him. Why confess when the fun part of it is, for him, the thrill is for them to try to figure it out?" His fascination with media isn't new.

Matthew Coatney, CIO at Thompson Hine, and author of The Human Cloud sits down and talks about what he sees as the transformation of how we work. According to Coatney, freelancing and project-based work (The Human Cloud) combined with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (The Machine Cloud) will soon disrupt the way we deliver work. Law firms will not be exempt from this disruption. Matters are really just projects. Contract attorneys are freelancers. According to some experts, 80% of work to be done by organizations in the 2030s will be project-based work. And AI and ML will eat into the other 20%. Coatney says that we are missing out on an opportunity if we are not preparing for this reality. We asked how life as a CIO has changed over the past couple of decades for a CIO in a law firm and Coatney says that a CIO of 2000 would have culture shock if they were to be transported to today. CIOs are still the brand ambassadors of the IT departments, but Chief Technology Officers and Chief Data Officers are making their way into the fold to help offload some of the overwhelming responsibility that many of today's CIOs find falls on their shoulders. Matt also co-hosts The Human Cloud Podcast with Matthew Mottola where they put out twice-weekly episodes diving deeper into these topics. Go check out "The Matthews" on their own pod if you're curious about how the structure of work is going to change. Information Inspirations You may have noticed that we took last week off from this podcast, but we were busy recording other podcasts to fill the void. Greg went on the Legal Value Network's "Off the Clock" podcast and talked with Keith Maziarek of Katten and Percipent's Chad Main about the recent increase of available APIs from a number of legal information vendors. These APIs may very well open the door to a much easier method of pulling data in from vendors directly into internal law firm databases to better prepare firms to handle clients' needs. Marlene hosted an ILTA podcast panel on How Virtual Hearings Altered the Fabric of Dispute Resolution with Florida Circuit Judge Christopher Sprysenski, Trial Consultant with Paul Hastings, Jeremy Cooper, and Jackson Walker Partner, Richard Howell. The three give their personal experiences on how they handled virtual trials over the past twenty months. Contact Us Twitter: @gebauerm or @glambert.
