Did the Nancy Guthrie Evidence Lead to a Wrongful Conclusion?We analyze the crime motive analysis behind this case to determine if revenge was the primary driver for the perpetrator. This breakdown examines the evidence.This discussion focuses on the critical details surrounding the crime investigation discussion, specifically addressing the conflicting theories about the incident. We break down whether the revenge motive holds up under scrutiny or if other factors like a stalker behavior pattern are more likely contributors to the events described.We also evaluate the physical evidence, specifically the claims regarding the staged blood. By reviewing the psychological crime profile, we examine the transference of anger and how it impacts the credibility of the scene. This analysis helps viewers understand the nuances of criminal behavior and the complexities of evidence interpretation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wrongful death actions have unique procedural and evidentiary requirements and strategic considerations that distinguish them from bodily injury cases. The history of the IICLE handbook, Wrongful-Death and Survival Actions, stretches back over 30 years to a time when Scott Seamn, General Editor of the handbook and this month's guest, was searching for an authoritative guide on the topic. Wrongful-Death and Survival Actions 2026 Edition is available now at IICLE.com.IICLE® is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit based in Springfield, Illinois. We produce a wide range of practice guidance for Illinois attorneys and other legal professionals in all areas of law with the generous contributions of time and expertise from volunteer attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals.

Oh Hwi-woong was executed for the 1974 murders of Jeong Si-hwa and his two young children despite a complete lack of physical evidence linking him to the crime scene. Despite having an alibi, he was found guilty. Decades later, even the presiding judge would be haunted by lifelong regret over signing the execution warrant.

This episode of Truth Be Told dives into the intersection of wrongful convictions, communication, strategy, and even poker. In this powerful conversation, Dave Thompson, CFI sits down with innocence attorney and poker player Claudia Salinas to explore how psychology, trust, bias, and human behavior shape both the courtroom and the interrogation room. From uncovering wrongful convictions to reading people at the poker table, Claudia shares how communication, emotional control, and strategic thinking can impact lives in the highest-stakes situations. The episode takes listeners inside the work of The Innocence Center and the broader innocence movement, breaking down how innocent people end up behind bars — and why proving innocence is often far harder than securing a conviction in the first place. Claudia discusses false confessions, racial bias, Brady violations, eyewitness issues, and the emotional realities of post-conviction advocacy, while Dave connects these lessons directly to investigative interviewing and truth-seeking conversations. If you're interested in investigative interviewing, psychology, communication, criminal justice reform, or the human side of truth and deception, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Follow Claudia on Instagram! Follow The Innocence Center on Instagram! Truths: False confessions are real — and often driven by psychology, pressure, misplaced trust, and flawed interrogation tactics. Wrongful convictions are rarely caused by one single mistake; they're usually the result of bias, tunnel vision, misinformation, and small decisions compounding over time. Communication and rapport matter in every high-stakes environment — from investigative interviews to courtrooms to poker tables. Confidence isn't about ego; it's about preparation, emotional control, and trusting the process even when outcomes don't immediately go your way. Every person — investigators, jurors, attorneys, and everyday citizens — plays a role in protecting justice and preventing wrongful convictions.    

Episode 300: AI's extremes are on full display in our 300th episode. Anthropic's Mythos model reportedly uncovered more than 10,000 security flaws in a month, accelerating vulnerability discovery for major partners. Yet the same “AI efficiency” falls apart in the real world, as seen in Starbucks' failed AI inventory rollout that miscounted products and mislabeled items. That contrast sets up the core question of the hour: when is AI a powerful tool, and when is it just expensive theater?We also dig into the rising stakes around biometric privacy, from Disney's facial‑scan lawsuit to stadium and theme‑park “optional” recognition systems that don't feel optional when the alternative line barely moves. Add in real phishing examples hitting DocuSign, Microsoft 365, and fake IRS notices, plus a case where an AI court summarizer caused a wrongful arrest, and the theme becomes clear: trust is getting harder to earn. We close with tech nostalgia, a blunt whiskey review, Waymo's robotaxi recall, and Elon Musk's failed lawsuit against OpenAI all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:AI is getting dangerously good at the things we want and embarrassingly bad at the things we assumed were easy. We kick off our 300th show with a perfect contrast: Anthropic's Mythos model reportedly uncovers 10,000+ security flaws in a month, boosting vulnerability discovery across major partners, yet the same “automation magic” falls flat when Starbucks tries AI inventory counting and ends up with mislabeled products and missed items. That tension drives the big question we keep circling: when is AI a genuine tool, and when is it just expensive theater? From there we get into facial recognition privacy and consent, sparked by Disney's lawsuit over facial scanning at Disneyland. We compare it to Universal and stadium biometric entry, talk about what “optional” really means when the non-scan line is the long one, and why public tolerance shifts once AI becomes part of the story. If you care about digital identity, biometric data retention, and surveillance creep, this segment lands hard. We also bring the practical stuff: real phishing email examples that mimic DocuSign and Microsoft 365 quarantine notices, plus a fake “IRS statement” that screams malware. Then Mike's AI Guy segment hits a gut-punch case where an AI court summarizer mashed files together and an innocent man got arrested. We round it out with tech nostalgia (Apple Newton), a brutally honest whiskey review, Waymo's robotaxi flood fiasco and recall, and a quick hit on Elon Musk losing his lawsuit against OpenAI.

Wrongful convictions and AI privacy may seem like separate issues, but both raise the same uncomfortable question: what happens when the legal system relies on old assumptions in a changing world? In episode 618 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Sunny Eaton about conviction review work, evolving science, and why lawyers should not be so quick to surrender privacy expectations in the age of AI.  Sunny shares how her work in the Nashville District Attorney's Office focuses on reviewing old convictions, identifying new evidence, and helping correct cases where the system may have gotten it wrong. She explains why changing science, including advances in DNA, trauma research, and bias studies, can matter deeply when reviewing criminal convictions.  The conversation then turns to AI, attorney client privilege, client data, and the growing role of data brokers. Zack and Sunny explore whether information shared with AI tools should automatically lose privacy protection, and why lawyers may need to make stronger arguments before courts accept that assumption.  If you are concerned about AI in law firms, client confidentiality, or the future of privacy rights, this episode challenges lawyers to think harder about what should remain private and why it is our job to make the government work for it.   Listen to our previous episodes on AI, Privacy & Legal Ethics.  #612: AI for Lawyers: What You Need to Know Before Your Clients Do, with Cat Casey Apple | Spotify | LTN  #582: Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  #543: What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN  #486: How to Safely Include AI in Your Legal Tech Stack, with Will Anoh Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

Who can Jesus be? Mark 4:35–41 prepares us for the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these seven verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Jesus can only be YHWH God. In this passage, Jesus demonstrates His divine authority over nature by calming a violent storm, revealing His identity as the sovereign Lord who commands even the forces of creation. The disciples' fear of the storm gives way to profound awe when they realize that the One Who stills the winds and waves is also the One who cares deeply for them, as evidenced by His willingness to endure human weakness and suffering for their salvation. Their question, 'Teacher, do you not care?' exposes a subtle but dangerous unbelief—the assumption that God's power is not matched by His personal concern—yet Jesus responds with gentle rebuke and grace, inviting them to trust in His care, which is fully secured in His sacrificial death. The devotional underscores that true faith is not the absence of fear, but the recognition that God's love and power are most fully revealed in the cross, where His care is proven beyond doubt. The response to doubt, therefore, is not merely intellectual assent, but a return to the cross, where Christ's compassion and sovereignty are eternally confirmed.

For 28 years, Ellen lived under a wrongful diagnosis. Today, she speaks to help others find their path to healing. Ellen Lubensky attorney, is a speaker and advocate whose life was transformed by a wrongful psychiatric diagnosis that led to nearly three decades of unnecessary medication and physical decline. After discovering the truth about her misdiagnosis, Ellen made the brave decision to carefully taper off the medications that had been harming her for decades. She has been tapering for 4 years, with approximately two more years remaining in her journey. Alongside her tapering process, Ellen embraced holistic approaches to healing, which have become a cornerstone of her recovery. Today, she speaks publicly to raise awareness about psychiatric misdiagnosis, medication harm, patient advocacy, and the hope of recovery. Ellen's story resonates with healthcare professionals, patient advocacy groups, mental health communities, and anyone who has experienced medical misdiagnosis or is seeking inspiration for their own healing journey. Ellen Shares: I have a life story like none other in the universe and a firm calling to share it with intention. I was physically disabled by tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of antipsychotics, for 20 years. At 45, I set firm boundaries with my psychiatrist of 25 years to taper me off antipsychotics. During my taper, which is the process by which you gradually decrease the amount of medication you are taking, I went to neurologically baseline and was able to do all the physical activities I could not do for 20 years. On the last night of my taper, which went way too quickly, I became a complete insomniac. I have been in protracted withdrawal for over three years and am currently withdrawing from benzodiazepines. While I was on antipsychotics, my personality changed and my IQ went down almost 30 points. I currently have severe concentration issues that will prevent me from working in the law for years. However, I can speak publicly about my experiences. Many people have seizures or go to psychosis in withdrawal. My family still has enough money for the best of the best care. I will be setting up a charity to help those without my resources. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok. I am in search of a publicist because I have a message that needs to be heard. https://ellenlubensky.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ellen.lubensky https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Ellen+Lubensky Call In and Chat with Deborah during Live Show: 833-220-1200 or 319-527-2638 Learn more about Deborah here:  www.lovebyintuition.com

Is America sleepwalking into algorithmic policing? In this explosive episode of Behind the Line Podcast, we investigate how AI surveillance, facial recognition, smart vehicle technology, and corporate-police partnerships are reshaping the Fourth Amendment in real time. From Ford patents that turn your car into a rolling surveillance hub to Axis Communications “Edge AI” systems feeding automated alerts directly to law enforcement, we break down how technology is bypassing constitutional protections Americans thought were guaranteed.We also examine the real-world victims of facial recognition failures, including wrongful arrests tied to flawed AI matches, and the disturbing Jason Killinger case in Reno, Nevada, where private surveillance software overrode common sense and nearly destroyed an innocent man's life.At what point does “security” become automated suspicion? And when algorithms replace probable cause, what happens to liberty itself?This is not science fiction anymore. It's happening now.#FourthAmendment #AISurveillance #FacialRecognition #SmartCars #Constitution #CivilLiberties #PoliceTechnology #WrongfulArrest #BehindTheLine #Privacy #ArtificialIntelligence #Freedom #SurveillanceState #LeftCoastNews #AxisCommunications

Send us Fan MailOne fake MBA. One real lawsuit. One unforgettable lesson. In this episode Gavin and Stephen dig into the Alberta employment case Tutor v. Accurate Screen Limited, where a senior business-development employee allegedly misrepresented his academic credentials, was fired for cause, found another job within months, and still sued for wrongful dismissal.  They unpack why honesty is central to the employment relationship, how courts analyze just-cause terminations, why résumé fraud can destroy trust from the start, and why suing after being caught may be the boldest move of all. Along the way, they connect the case to broader employment-law principles, the difficulty of proving cause, the power imbalance courts recognize between employers and employees, and the growing challenge of fake credentials in an AI-driven world.Listen For:00:00 What happens when someone with a fake MBA sues for wrongful dismissal?2:42 Why did this Alberta résumé-fraud case become so surprising?7:16 Can lying about academic credentials justify termination for cause?13:16 How do burdens of proof work in employment-law dismissal cases?23:24 Does an employer have a duty to verify a candidate's résumé?Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one click Contact UsGardiner Roberts website | Gavin email | Stephen email  

Flock cameras are part of a rapidly expanding surveillance system that captures license plates, vehicle details, and travel patterns, allowing law enforcement to reconstruct where a vehicle has been within seconds. What began as a tool for stolen cars and violent-crime investigations is now raising major concerns over privacy, officer misuse, false matches, and how easily ordinary drivers can be tracked across cities and states. In this segment, we break down how the technology works, the strongest documented abuse cases, and why civil-liberties groups say the bigger story is not one camera — it is the growing network behind it.https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/flock-rounduphttps://www.atlasofsurveillance.org/https://www.businessinsider.com/flock-safety-alpr-cameras-misreads-2026-3Arizona DUI quotas?

In episode 60 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and special guest co-host retired NYPD Inspector Joe Courtesis delve into recent cases that have resulted in the arrests of individuals who were misidentified using facial recognition technology. Joe, an expert in this field, will shed light on the causes of these errors, exploring whether they stem from technological limitations, investigative oversights, or a lack of awareness among law enforcement about best practices and policies regarding facial recognition. As the future of policing increasingly relies on advanced technology, the conversation shifts to the potential violations of public constitutional rights and the impact on public trust. Join the interactive chat for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that will challenge your perspectives on the role of technology in law enforcement. With a combined 65 years of service in the NYPD, over 40 of which were in the executive ranks, retired Deputy Chief Rob Lukach and retired Inspector Ron Leyson offer an unparalleled analysis of policy, procedure, and leadership in the NYPD and law enforcement in general.

Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and admitted to killing an eighth. That should have been the end of the legal battle. It wasn't. The son of Valerie Mack — one of the victims Heuermann admitted to killing — has filed a sweeping civil lawsuit that goes after the people who were closest to the convicted killer: his ex-wife Asa Ellerup and their daughter Victoria Heuermann.The allegations in this complaint are staggering in their scope. Wrongful death. Aiding and abetting. Civil conspiracy. Unjust enrichment. Fraud. The lawsuit accuses both women of knowing about the murders or deliberately choosing not to know — what the legal system calls willful blindness. It alleges they had access to a secured room with a large metal door in the basement of the Massapequa Park home and that they profited from the crimes through over a million dollars in media payments for a Peacock documentary.But the defense has significant ground to stand on. Prosecutors have said the family was out of town during the killings. Victoria was approximately three years old when Valerie Mack was killed in 2000 — yet the complaint names her as a defendant in concealing that murder. Law enforcement searched the Heuermann home, recovered evidence, and never charged either woman. And the plaintiff's attorney has a documented history of making extreme public accusations against this family that have not resulted in criminal action.I break down every angle of this case — the emotional weight behind the filing, the legal reality the plaintiff has to overcome, and the moral complexity that no verdict can resolve. This is a lawsuit where everybody involved might be a victim of Rex Heuermann in one way or another.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Wrongful convictions shatter families, steal decades, and leave untold scars. In this special series devoted to widening our circle of empathy for people who often feel marginalized or misunderstood, watch this powerful episode featuring Stéphanie Nowak, Executive Director of Innocence Canada, a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying, advocating for, and exonerating individuals convicted of crimes they did not commit.Stéphanie brings us inside one of the most devastating failures of the criminal justice system. And through stories and data, she also describes  the complexity, emotional toll, and systemic barriers that define wrongful convictions—and what it takes to seek justice after-the-fact.Together, we discuss:Why wrongful convictions are more common than we think—and why we may never know the true numberThe staggering psychological toll on individuals and their familiesWhy exoneration can take 6 to 15 years—and often much longerThe systemic barriers that prevent justiceThis conversation looks past headlines to see the human beings behind the stats, and to rethink what justice means when the system gets it wrong.00:00 Preview00:41 Introduction 02:34 About Stéphanie Nowak02:41 Stéphanie's backstory05:12 The hidden crisis inside the justice system08:14 Why innocent people can't get out of prison without help12:41 Psychological toll of wrongful conviction on victim's family17:18 Systemic barriers that block exonerations22:21 What happens when a conviction is overturned?26:36 How crime media actually distorts our understanding of guilt29:33 The drive behind Stéphanie's justice reform work33:29 Why empathy is foundational to criminal justice reform38:25 Stéphanie Nowak's Purposeful Empathy storyCONNECT WITH STÉPHANIE✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-wilhelmina-nowak/✩ Organization https://innocencecanada.com/ ✩ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/innocencecanada/ CONNECT WITH ANITA✩ Email purposefulempathy@gmail.com ✩ Website https://www.anitanowak.com✩ Buy a copy of Purposeful Empathy http://tiny.cc/PurposefulEmpathyCA✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitanowak/✩ Instagram https://tinyurl.com/anitanowakinstagram✩ Podcast Audio https://tinyurl.com/PurposefulEmpathyPodcast✩ Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/anitanowak.bsky.socialSHOW NOTES✩ Prison Matters 2024 report https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/briefs/Prison_brief_2024.pdf ✩ David Milgaard conviction case https://www.wrongfulconvictions.ca/cases/david-milgaard✩ Ronald Dalton conviction case https://www.wrongfulconvictions.ca/cases/ronald-daltonVideo edited by Jad Misri, Green Horizon Studio

April 7, 2026: Carl Miller Reflects on His 46-Year Battle to Overturn His Wrongful Murder Conviction by The Indypendent

How do you rebuild a life after it was taken from you? A wrongful conviction strips a person of their agency, leaving pain and loss where there once was freedom and purpose. Healing from such a profound injustice is no easy task, and even after exoneration, the ache of what was lost remains. In this episode, Michael Semanchik sits down with Antoine Day, Eddie Lowery, and William Michael Dillon—all members of The Exoneree Band. Together, they share how music became a powerful outlet for processing their experiences, reclaiming their voices, and transforming pain into purpose. Through their performances, The Exoneree Band spreads awareness about wrongful incarceration, tells their personal stories, and educates communities about the human cost of injustice. Their message is clear: freedom is everything.  Learn more and book the band at ExonereeBand.com. Listen to William Michael Dillons Story.

Today we're discussing the legendary Forever Changes by Love. We're also doing a deep dive into the tragic story of singer and main songwriter Arthur Lee.

This wasn't a professional job. The evidence says so.The suspect visited Nancy Guthrie's home before the night she disappeared. When he came back, he didn't know about the doorbell camera. Tried to disable it and failed. Grabbed weeds to cover the lens. That's improvisation. That's someone who thought they had it figured out—and didn't.If this was a burglary that turned into something the perpetrator never intended, what's waiting for them on the other side?Eric Faddis spent years as a felony prosecutor before becoming a defense attorney. He's seen cases like this from both sides of the courtroom. And he's clear about what this person faces.Arizona's felony murder statute doesn't care about intent. If someone dies during the commission of a burglary, that's murder. Add concealment of a body. Add twenty-five days of hiding while the FBI chases 55,000 tips. Add the consciousness of guilt that comes from staying silent while a family begs for answers.The legal exposure is already severe. It gets worse every day.Faddis breaks down what voluntary surrender actually buys—if anything. He explains the difference between coming forward now and getting caught through genetic genealogy later. He addresses the impossible position the defense is in when the body is missing: they can't prove accidental death because their client hid the evidence.And he talks about what happens beyond criminal court. The Guthrie family has resources. Wrongful death is a separate track.For someone sitting with this, Faddis lays out the realistic range. Where cooperation leads. Where getting caught without cooperation leads. The window between those two outcomes is narrowing.This is the legal reality of what's coming.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The clock is running for whoever took Nancy Guthrie.Twenty-five days of silence. Twenty-five days of hiding while genetic genealogy labs work through samples and investigators canvass every gun shop in Arizona with photos of that holster. Twenty-five days of exposure compounding.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down exactly what the person responsible is facing—and why the decision they make in the next days or weeks will determine the rest of their life.If this was a break-in that ended with a death the perpetrator didn't intend, Arizona law doesn't offer much comfort. Felony murder means intent doesn't matter. A death during a burglary is a murder charge. Full stop. Concealment of the body is a separate crime. So is evidence tampering. So is flight.Faddis explains what surrendering now actually buys versus getting caught later. Walking in with a lawyer and the location of Nancy Guthrie's body is a different conversation than getting pulled in after a DNA hit. One gives the defense something to negotiate with. The other lets prosecutors argue consciousness of guilt to a jury.The problem: whoever hid Nancy also hid the evidence that could support their own defense. If the claim is "I didn't mean to kill her," how do you prove it when there's no body to examine? Both sides are stuck on cause of death—and that's the defendant's fault.We're also covering the civil side. The Guthrie family has resources. Wrongful death doesn't require a conviction. It's a separate track, and it's coming regardless.Bring your questions. Faddis is answering them live.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode Summary In this episode of The Jabot Podcast, host Kathryn Rubino sits down with public defender, reform advocate, and author Emily Galvin Almanza to discuss her new book The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Broken System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America. Emily shares her unexpected path into law, her deep commitment to criminal defense, and the emotional realities of representing clients navigating one of the most consequential systems in American society. Drawing from years in public defense and her work co-founding Partners for Justice, she explains why the criminal legal system often punishes instability rather than crime — and how policy choices, not individual morality, frequently determine who enters the system. The conversation explores burnout among defenders, systemic misconceptions about criminal courts, the role of compassion in policy reform, and the economic and social costs of incarceration. Ultimately, the episode reframes justice not as punishment, but as a question of public safety, community stability, and human dignity.

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

Kelly and Ali are fed up with pathetic losers abusing their power. In this episode, the twins talk about the state of our country- while also adding in some silly segments to lighten the mood. That being said, there's no holding back at this point: our leadership is out of control.

In this powerful Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 55b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the Talmud's explanation for the destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem: three tragic incidents rooted in people failing to consider consequences ("hardening the heart"). The primary story involves Kamtza and Bar Kamtza—a host mistakenly invites his enemy Bar Kamtza to a banquet, then publicly humiliates and ejects him despite offers to pay for the entire feast. The silent rabbis' inaction emboldens Bar Kamtza to slander the Jews to Caesar, leading to war and destruction.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the "wrongful humility" of Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkulas, who blocks both offering Caesar's blemished calf (fearing it sets a precedent) and killing Bar Kamtza (fearing misperception of penalty)—prioritizing technicalities over saving lives and the Temple. Parallel stories (rooster/hen destroying Tur Malka; carriage shaft destroying Betar) underscore senseless hatred and violence among Jews enabling Roman victory.Themes include: actions have reactions ("play stupid games, win stupid prizes"); silence in face of injustice is complicity; Jewish strength lies in words/persuasion, not violence; and baseless hatred (sinat chinam) remains the core reason for ongoing exile—urging self-reflection to merit redemption._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on December 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 30, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop Convictions in Austin In this second segment of Hidden Killers Live, Bob Motta reacts to the most painful revelation of the press conference: the state's admission that Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were innocent all along. Convicted in 2001 and 2002 on the basis of confessions extracted after 18‑ and 5‑hour interrogations, these men served years behind bars — one on death row — for crimes they didn't commit. Bob takes us inside the mechanics of coerced confessions. He explains how long hours, suggestion, minimization, and tunnel vision can make innocent people say anything to end an interrogation. He also lays out why juries still believe these confessions, even when no physical evidence supports them, and why prosecutors keep pushing cases that DNA has already undermined. This isn't just about one bad case in Austin. It's about a system that prioritizes “solved” over “proven” — and the lives ruined when that shortcut becomes policy. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfessions #WrongfulConviction #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #JusticeReform #CoercedConfession #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
