THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS: COLDBLOODED KILLERS, OR SURVIVORS OF ABUSE?Join me as I dive deep into the extremely complex case of Erik and Lyle Menendez-- two brothers from Beverly Hills who fully admit to murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty, back in August 1989. At the time of the murders, Lyle was 21 years old and Erik was just 18. They claim they killed out of fear and self defense, after enduring a lifetime of sexual abuse at the hands of their father. But, prosecutors believe they are coldblooded killers-- eliminating their parents so they could get their hands on a $14 million estate. In this episode, I delve into the background of this seemingly "perfect" family, what really went on behind closed doors, & everything that led up to the murders and the highly sensationalized trials. I also give a recent update on the brothers' possible chance at freedom. Make sure to follow me on TIKTOK and IG:@verdictvaultpodcastThank you for listening!xoxxoxoxo,Riana

KAREN READ : KILLER OR COVER-UP?Join me as I discuss the high profile trial of Karen Read--who is accused of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe back in January 2022, and leaving him to die in the snow. But is this case really what it seems? Her first trial took place at Norfolk County District Court in Dedham, Massachusetts, from April-July 2024, and ended in a hung jury--officially declared a "mistrial". Now she faces a a new set of 12 jurors, in the same courthouse, in the same town. Will she be acquitted this time around? Or will she be found guilty? In this episode, I go over both the prosecution and defense's very different theories of what happened that night, a recent update on the new jury selection, as well as several findings of police misconduct, and mishandling of the investigation itself. We are most likely only DAYS away from opening statements in this second trial. Killer or cover-up? Let me know what you think.
