Daily Crime and Justice | True Crime, Trial Coverage, and Murder Cases

A secret documentary about Elizabeth Holmes premiered at Telluride on September 6. "You Can See Everything", directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, distributed by A24, filmed over three years beginning 34 days before she reported to federal prison. It screens at the New York Film Festival on September 30 and opens theatrically in October. Meanwhile, Holmes's X account, revived in August 2025 after a decade of silence and reportedly run by her partner Billy Evans, has been posting frequently and protesting her innocence. And a clemency petition asking the President to commute her sentence remains listed as pending with the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney. A full account of the case: Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on one count of conspiracy to defraud investors and three counts of wire fraud, acquitted on all patient-related counts, and sentenced to 135 months plus $452 million in restitution. Ramesh Balwani, tried separately on an identical indictment, was convicted on all twelve counts and is serving longer. The Ninth Circuit affirmed everything in February 2025.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

Former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor invoked his Fifth Amendment right rather than answer questions at a hearing in a Milton murder case he led — the 2021 killing of 25-year-old Marquis Simmons. Judge Peter Krupp allowed it after a sidebar his defense counsel was barred from joining. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio, who is seeking dismissal of charges against Myles Omari King, 26, said Proctor's lawyer had twice indicated he would testify. Proctor was dishonorably discharged over messages found on his phone during the Karen Read prosecution; he has not been charged with any crime, and invoking the Fifth is not evidence of wrongdoing. Prosecutors say the victim identified King before he died, and that phone records and surveillance link him to the shooting. Also: Los Angeles County DA Nathan Hochman announced he will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, 33, charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Singer Reiner — citing a review of aggravating and mitigating factors and input from the surviving siblings. And in Largo, prosecutors showed video they say depicts Tomasz Kosowski leaving Steven Cozzi's law office pulling a wagon.Join our new FB groups page here.

Tomasz Kosowski, representing himself in a capital murder trial in Pinellas County, Florida, gave no opening statement and cross-examined none of the state's witnesses on the first day. Assistant State Attorney Alexandra Spadaro told Judge Joseph Bulone that attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, was killed in his firm's bathroom and moved out by wagon — that "his coffin was a dumpster" and his remains lie in the Collier County landfill, where a three-day search found nothing. Kosowski has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; he has dismissed four sets of attorneys, waived a jury for both phases, and withdrawn his prior counsel's suppression motions and death-penalty challenges. Also: in Honolulu, Judge Paul Wong recalled the jurors who convicted Dr. Gerhardt Konig of attempted manslaughter, but limited questioning to whether any had outside contact during deliberations — declining to ask whether the panel was ever unanimous on intent to kill, despite a sworn affidavit from the foreperson saying it was not. Nine jurors answered no; three more are questioned September 18. And disqualification motions are pending in Idaho, where Bryan Kohberger seeks to withdraw his guilty plea, and in Florida, where Rashaun Jones has filed a fourth.Join our new FB groups page here.

Judge London Kite has refused to step aside from Shanna Gardner's murder case after both prosecutors and Kirsten Bridegan — the widow of victim Jared Bridegan — filed motions asking her to disqualify herself. Kite ruled both legally insufficient without addressing the factual allegations. The dispute began when Gardner's defense sought Kirsten Bridegan's cellphone; Kite initially denied the request, then ordered her to surrender it after an ex parte meeting with Gardner's attorneys that neither prosecutors nor Bridegan's lawyers attended. When she refused, Kite initiated indirect criminal contempt proceedings during Mario Fernandez Saldana's trial. The Fifth District Court of Appeal has stayed the order. Prosecutors wrote that Kite's conduct "created the appearance that matters involving Kirsten Bridegan, a material prosecution witness and constitutional crime victim, had been prejudged." Gardner has pleaded not guilty; her trial is set for May 2027. Also: the parents of Celeste Rivas Hernandez have filed a wrongful death suit naming David Anthony Burke, his mother and his managers. And in Largo, Florida, Tomasz Kosowski's capital trial continues with no defense counsel and no jury.Join our new FB groups page here.

Tomasz Kosowski, 47, goes on trial Monday in Pinellas County, Florida, for the first-degree murder of attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, who vanished from his Largo office bathroom in March 2023 and has never been found. Kosowski has dismissed multiple defense teams, is representing himself, withdrew his prior counsel's motions to suppress evidence and their challenges to the death penalty, and waived a jury for both the guilt and penalty phases — a dual waiver attorneys describe as exceptionally rare. Asked by Judge Joseph Bulone why he didn't want a jury, he replied, "I really have to answer that?" He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; prosecutors are seeking death. Also: Twelfth Judicial District Judge Amanda Hopkins raised Barry Morphew's bond from $3 million to $10 million cash only, saying he "has shown time and again that he has no respect for any order of this court." And in Toledo, new detail from the trial record in the Matthew Exton case, convicted September 5 of attempted murder.Join our new FB groups page here.
