Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, will appear in court for two days of status hearings. Kohberger’s legal team is expected to continue efforts to have critical evidence dismissed before the trial begins.   Central to the defense’s argument is the suppression of DNA evidence. This includes DNA collected at the crime scene, Kohberger’s apartment, and inside his car. Additionally, the defense will challenge digital data that prosecutors claim links Kohberger to the crime.   Investigators allege that Kohberger brutally killed Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Xana Kernodle in a shocking attack that rocked the small college community of Moscow, Idaho. The murders took place in a rental home near the university, where three of the victims lived.   Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, was arrested weeks after the killings at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania. Authorities said that DNA evidence played a significant role in connecting him to the crime.   The upcoming hearings will be pivotal in determining what evidence will be admissible at trial. Kohberger’s defense has argued that some of the evidence was obtained improperly, and its inclusion could prejudice the jury. Legal experts note that challenges to DNA evidence and digital data have become increasingly common in high-profile cases.   Kohberger has maintained his innocence, with his legal team stating that they will continue to scrutinize the methods used by law enforcement during the investigation.   As the legal proceedings unfold, all eyes remain on the evidence at the center of the trial. If the court sides with Kohberger’s defense, the prosecution could face significant challenges in proving its case.   #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DNAEvidence #JusticeForVictims #CourtUpdates #Criminology  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

From a rapid rise to fame to a life allegedly surrounded by enablers, the conversation dives into the murky world of power, privilege, and unanswered questions.

What happens when a defense strategy leans heavily on a narrative that defies reality? Defense Attorney Bob Motta and Tony Brueski unravel the perplexing approaches of defendants like Robert Telles, who attempted to spin a tale that flew in the face of overwhelming evidence—evidence that included the murder weapon’s remnants found in his garage. Is it delusion, desperation, or something else entirely? The episode delves into comparisons with other infamous trials, such as Charlie Adelson's and Lori Vallow Daybell's, where the art of storytelling met the harsh reality of a courtroom. Motta sheds light on the difficult role defense attorneys play when their clients are set on self-sabotage, revealing the nuanced dance between ethical obligations and the client's constitutional rights. And speaking of Lori Vallow Daybell, what’s with her sudden desire to shed the "Daybell" from her name? Does it point to a strategy, or is it just another twist in her bizarre saga?

In a move that surprised precisely no one following her case, Lori Vallow Daybell, the self-styled "Doomsday Mom," has filed a motion to dismiss her Arizona case, alleging a violation of her right to a speedy trial. Citing constitutional guarantees that demand a trial within 150 days of arraignment, Vallow claims Arizona’s justice system is dragging its feet, leaving her, inexplicably, as the one tapping her watch in impatience. The motion, as blunt as it is brazen, accuses the court of wasting time: “The State of Arizona has had plenty of time to figure this out!” wrote Vallow, who is representing herself in what promises to be another theatrical performance of legal acrobatics. Her arraignment was on December 7, 2023, and as of now, only one trial date—for the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow—has been set. The second case, involving the attempted murder of her ex-nephew-in-law Brandon Boudreaux, remains in limbo. The clock is ticking, Vallow insists, but for whom remains an open question. After all, she is already serving a life sentence without parole in Idaho for her convictions in the murders of her children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and her role in the death of Tammy Daybell, the former wife of her current husband, Chad Daybell. With no immediate threat of freedom on the horizon, her newfound urgency over trial delays raises more eyebrows than legal points. A Ticking Clock and a Ticking Off Vallow’s case in Arizona revolves around charges of conspiracy to commit murder. Authorities allege she orchestrated the fatal shooting of Charles Vallow in 2019 with the help of her late brother, Alex Cox, a man whose role in this saga—from trigger-puller to "spiritual warrior"—reads like a plotline even a soap opera writer would reject as over the top. Months later, Brandon Boudreaux narrowly survived an assassination attempt, and police wasted no time connecting the dots back to Vallow’s web of bizarre motives and financial incentives. While Cox conveniently passed away in 2019 under circumstances described as “natural causes,” his posthumous presence looms large in courtrooms across two states. Investigators argue that the shootings were driven by life insurance payouts and a twisted “spiritual” ideology that Vallow and her inner circle allegedly used to justify their actions. Call it faith-based finance, but with a lot more death certificates. Vallow’s self-representation in Arizona follows a December 5 ruling that deemed her competent to stand trial, a decision made after her previous attorneys raised questions about her mental fitness. Now, it’s just Lori, her legal motions, and an audience eager to see if she’ll cross-examine herself at some point. Given her track record, it’s not outside the realm of possibility. Legal Limbo and Looming Trials The Arizona courts find themselves juggling two sets of charges: the conspiracy to murder Charles Vallow and the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux. While the former’s trial is scheduled to begin on March 31, the latter remains unscheduled, an omission Vallow’s motion highlights with the fervor of a defendant who’s suddenly discovered their inner legal scholar. Her argument hinges on Arizona’s rules for a speedy trial, claiming the delays violate her rights. For prosecutors, the complications go beyond calendars. Vallow’s conviction in Idaho casts a long shadow over these proceedings, forcing Arizona to grapple with the optics of pursuing justice for additional victims while their star defendant is already destined to spend the rest of her life in prison. Yet, the stakes remain high. For the families of Charles Vallow and Brandon Boudreaux, these trials represent more than just legal closure; they’re a chance to see the full extent of Vallow’s alleged crimes brought to light. A Trial by Irony Vallow’s legal woes in Arizona unfold against a backdrop of prior convictions that would make even the most seasoned true-crime enthusiast’s head spin. In May 2023, an Idaho jury found her guilty of the first-degree murders of her children, 7-year-old JJ and 16-year-old Tylee, whose remains were discovered on Chad Daybell’s property. She was also convicted of conspiracy in the murder of Tammy Daybell, Chad’s former wife, whose death was initially ruled as natural before the autopsy results screamed otherwise. If Arizona hoped to quietly add their charges to the mix, Vallow has other plans. Her motion to dismiss not only delays the proceedings but also ensures that her name remains a headline fixture, a peculiar achievement for someone whose legal arguments hinge on claims of delays. What Happens Next The next chapter in this saga hinges on how the Arizona court responds to Vallow’s motion. If granted, it could derail efforts to hold her accountable for the deaths and attempted murders that continue to ripple through the lives of those left behind. If denied, the state proceeds with its plan to put her on trial for Charles Vallow’s murder in March, while the Boudreaux case waits its turn in the docket. Either way, the “Doomsday Mom” has ensured that her legal theatrics remain must-watch material. A Closing Note on Closure Lori Vallow Daybell’s latest legal maneuvering might not win her any favors in the court of public opinion, but it cements her status as a true-crime phenomenon—one whose trials reflect a tangled web of belief, betrayal, and bloodshed. Whether her motion to dismiss succeeds or flounders, one thing is certain: she’s not done writing her chapter in the annals of criminal infamy. Arizona’s courts, and the families seeking justice within them, now hold the pen. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, will face trial after a Las Vegas judge denied his motion to dismiss the case. Davis, 61, has been behind bars since being charged in September 2024 with murder with a deadly weapon with intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang. Davis’s attorney, Carl Arnold, filed a motion earlier this month to dismiss the case, arguing that prosecutors had delayed proceedings and violated an alleged immunity agreement. Arnold contended that Davis cooperated with federal and local authorities, which should have protected him from prosecution. However, prosecutors pushed back, asserting that Davis lacked proof of any such immunity agreement. In their filing, prosecutors emphasized that Davis “doesn’t have any quantifiable proof” supporting his immunity claims. During the hearing, District Judge Carli Kierny sided with the prosecution, ruling that the state “never gave [Keffe D] immunity.” The judge’s decision clears the way for the case to proceed. Arnold acknowledged the significance of the ruling, stating, “You’re not just going to dismiss the biggest case in the U.S. right off the bat. But you have to put these issues out for an appellate court.” He also hinted at a potential appeal to Nevada’s highest court. The charges against Davis stem from the infamous drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip that killed Tupac Shakur and injured Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight. Prosecutors allege the incident was fueled by a rivalry between the South Side Crips, of which Davis was a member, and the Mob Piru gang associated with Death Row Records. The events of that night, according to prosecutors, were set in motion during a brawl at the MGM Grand involving Shakur, Knight, and Davis’s nephew, Orlando Anderson. The altercation reportedly escalated into the deadly shooting that claimed Shakur’s life and left the music world reeling. Davis, who has drawn attention for his detailed public accounts of the incident, is accused of procuring the weapon used in the shooting and providing it to Anderson, who was in the backseat of the car. Anderson, who denied involvement, was killed in an unrelated shooting in 1998, leaving Davis as the last living suspect tied to the crime. The case marks a critical moment in the decades-long investigation into one of music’s most notorious unsolved murders. With the trial looming, fans and observers alike are watching closely for what may finally be the resolution to a mystery that has haunted the hip-hop community for nearly three decades. #TupacMurderTrial #KeffeD #2PacJustice #TupacShakur #HipHopHistory #LasVegasNews #UnsolvedMysteries Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What happens when a childhood drenched in chaos and questionable parenting shapes the man we see today? The recent revelations about Diddy’s upbringing, as explored in a controversial new documentary, offer a glimpse into a world few can fathom. Allegations of a home life marred by drugs, alcohol, and a "posse" of questionable influences allegedly orchestrated by his own mother paint a disturbing picture of formative years gone awry. How does a teenager, exposed to such extremes, process these experiences? Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to unpack the psychological impact of Diddy’s alleged upbringing. From a household environment rife with blurred boundaries to the long-lasting effects of misogyny and exploitation, we dive into how these formative years could potentially explain—but not excuse—his actions today. If these claims are true, what does this say about the ripple effects of trauma and the human psyche? Could facing the past become the key to shaping his defense, or will the alleged sins of the mother forever cloud the narrative? #TrueCrime #Diddy #PsychologyOfCrime #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #DarkPast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Missouri woman who survived a harrowing kidnapping and shooting by hiding under her friend’s lifeless body has now testified against one of her attackers. Melissa Pugh, who narrowly escaped death in the August 2020 incident, took the stand in the trial of Steven Chase Calverley, one of nine individuals charged in the kidnapping and murder of her friend, Sarah Pasco. According to the Springfield Daily Citizen, Calverley, 33, was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges related to the brutal crime. The kidnapping, orchestrated by ringleader Gary Hunter Jr., led to the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Pasco and left Pugh fighting for her life. After being forced into a well in the woods of Lawrence County, Missouri, Pugh made the critical decision to lay still beneath her friend's body, hoping to survive while the attackers believed both women were dead. Hunter Jr., who pleaded guilty in 2022 to second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping charges, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He had originally faced a possible death sentence but took a plea deal to avoid it. Authorities arrested all nine individuals involved in the kidnapping after a week-long investigation. Pugh, who courageously testified against Calverley in court, spoke of her forgiveness for his role in the crime, though she expressed confusion over why he, a former Purple Heart-winning U.S. Marine, did not intervene to stop Hunter Jr. during the ordeal. "I know God spared my life for a reason," Pugh said, according to the Daily Citizen. "But I don’t understand why none of them tried to help us... Especially with Mr. Calverley being a war hero." The terrifying sequence of events began when Hunter Jr. approached Pugh and Pasco while they were in a parked car in Stotts City. After forcing them into a life-threatening situation, he directed the women to the home of Christina Knapp, one of his accomplices. Over time, the plot involved all nine suspects, who eventually drove the women to a secluded wooded area in Miller, Missouri. There, Hunter Jr. shot Pasco while Pugh lay hidden beneath her, convinced she was going to die. After the group left, Pugh, covered in her friend's blood, crawled out of the well and managed to call 911, leading to the swift arrest of the perpetrators. In the aftermath of his conviction, Calverley expressed remorse in a letter, telling the victims’ families, “I’m sorry I was a coward and didn’t try harder to stop him. I’m sorry I didn’t try to put myself between him and you guys.” Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could Kim Porter's death be more than it seems? A new documentary on Peacock dives into some explosive allegations about Diddy, questioning whether her untimely death from lobar pneumonia might hide something far darker. The accusations don’t stop there—claims of cover-ups, conspiracies, and even threats against those who dare to speak out add layers to an already tangled web. With NBC’s legal team green lighting these revelations, it raises eyebrows about just how much truth lies beneath the surface. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins the discussion to unravel the legal and psychological dimensions of this evolving saga.

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur, is officially heading to trial. A Las Vegas judge denied Davis’s motion to dismiss the murder charge, clearing the path for a trial set to begin in March. For a case that’s lingered in the shadows of hip-hop history for nearly three decades, this marks a seismic shift in the pursuit of justice. In a courtroom showdown that felt like a scene out of a legal thriller, Davis’s defense team argued that the evidence against their client lacked merit. The prosecution, however, pushed back with a compelling narrative: Davis’s own words are his undoing. From interviews to his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend, Davis has openly discussed his connection to the events surrounding Shakur’s death, providing prosecutors with a veritable treasure trove of statements to scrutinize. The trial is set to explore Davis’s alleged role in orchestrating the drive-by shooting that claimed Shakur’s life on the Las Vegas Strip. Tupac, just 25 at the time, was riding in a car with Death Row Records’ Suge Knight when he was fatally shot in a hail of bullets. The crime, and the subsequent lack of resolution, has haunted fans and fueled conspiracy theories for decades. Davis’s 2023 arrest was the result of a renewed investigation, bolstered by modern investigative techniques and Davis’s own admissions. According to prosecutors, Davis was a self-proclaimed "shot caller" who orchestrated the attack as part of a long-running gang feud. His public statements, made with a mix of bravado and fatalism, have become a central piece of the prosecution’s case. With a March trial looming, the stakes couldn’t be higher. For Shakur’s family and fans, the prospect of justice is bittersweet—both a long-awaited reckoning and a painful reminder of an enduring loss. The trial promises to shine a spotlight on a case that has captivated and frustrated the public for years, with Davis standing at the center of the storm. As the court gears up for opening arguments, one thing is clear: after nearly 30 years, the fight for answers in Tupac Shakur’s murder is far from over. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Attorneys for Richard Allen, convicted of the 2017 murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana, have filed a Motion to Correct Errors. The motion highlights four alleged legal missteps that they argue are significant enough to overturn the jury’s verdict or warrant a new hearing. Allen was convicted in November 2023 and sentenced the following month to 130 years in prison for the February 13, 2017, murders of the two teenage girls. The case has drawn nationwide attention for its complexity and lengthy investigation. The motion, filed by defense attorneys Andrew Baldwin, Jennifer Auger, and Bradley Rozzi, represents the first formal step toward appealing Allen’s conviction. The defense raises concerns about the legality of Allen’s custody transfer, which occurred after his arrest. They allege the transfer from the Carroll County Jail to the Indiana Department of Corrections was conducted unlawfully, as Allen’s attorney was not notified, denying him the right to legal representation. “Mr. Allen was not afforded either the right to be heard by counsel or by himself at the safekeeping ‘proceeding,’” the motion states. The motion also claims prosecutors failed to correct false testimony concerning a white van seen in the area on the day of the murders. Surveillance footage presented by the defense contradicts the timeline provided by the prosecution, potentially impacting the jury's decision. “When the State introduces testimony it knows will be false or fails to correct testimony it knows or should know to be false, once elicited, a conviction must be vacated or reversed if that false evidence ‘may have had an effect on the outcome of the trial,’” the defense argued. A third issue raised involves a reported confession by another individual in 2017. Notes from an inmate claim that another person confessed to the murders, allegedly mentioning the use of a boxcutter. This claim is significant, given changes in testimony about the murder weapon during Allen’s trial. The defense contends this confession could have established probable cause for an alternative suspect, further undermining the state’s case. Additionally, questions surrounding the forensic analysis of Liberty German’s cellphone have been brought to light. The defense challenges the state’s claims that environmental factors, such as water or dirt, could have caused data suggesting headphones were plugged into the phone at the crime scene. “Ms. Eldridge’s opinion that dirt or water could not have caused L.G.’s phone to log wired headphones being plugged into and being unplugged from the phone on February 13, 2017, exculpates Mr. Allen and would probably produce a different result at a new trial,” the motion argues. The defense seeks either a dismissal of Allen’s convictions or a hearing to address the errors detailed in the motion. This filing is separate from the formal appeal anticipated to be submitted by newly-appointed appellate attorneys for Allen. The court’s response to the motion will determine the next steps in the legal proceedings and the future of Allen’s conviction. #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #RichardAllenCase #LegalErrors #JusticeForLibbyAndAbby #AppealProcess #CriminalJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
