What happens when alleged murderers can’t even keep their own legal representation straight? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the spotlight is on the baffling chaos surrounding the Adelson family, as the trial of Donna Adelson faces a suspension due to a shocking conflict of interest. The plot thickens when Charlie Adelson, in a moment that can only be described as last-minute brilliance, refuses to sign off on his mother’s legal representation just as jury selection begins. Joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, the discussion dives deep into the bewildering mindset of the Adelsons. With a blend of incredulity and dark humor, they dissect the apparent lack of foresight and the sheer impulsiveness of these alleged masterminds of a murder-for-hire scheme. Are they simply self-serving fools caught in their own web of incompetence? Dreeke doesn’t hold back, expressing disdain for their antics while questioning whether there’s any actual strategy at play or if it’s all just an idiotic circus. As the legal drama unfolds, it begs the question: are we witnessing a tragic comedy of errors, or is there a sinister plan that’s just too dumb to believe? #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #MurderForHire #FBI Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The legal team for Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, is petitioning the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to dismiss two charges she faces, including second-degree murder. Read is charged with allegedly hitting O'Keefe with her SUV and leaving him in a snowstorm in January 2022. Read’s defense attorneys argue that retrying her on these charges would violate her constitutional protection against double jeopardy. The brief filed by her attorney, Martin Weinberg, challenges an August decision by a lower court judge, who ruled that the case could proceed to retrial in January. "Where there was no verdict announced in open court here, retrial of the defendant does not violate the principle of double jeopardy," said Judge Beverly Cannone in her ruling. Weinberg's petition, however, argues that statements from five jurors after the mistrial show that they had unanimously decided Read was not guilty on two of the three counts. The mistrial was declared after jurors were deadlocked on a manslaughter charge, but according to the defense, they had already agreed to acquit her on the charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene. "Surely, that cannot be the law. Indeed, it must not be the law," Weinberg wrote in the brief, contending that jurors' post-trial statements should be taken as evidence that they had reached a conclusion on the other counts. “And, in the context of this highly publicized case, it strains credulity to suggest that, if the unequivocal statements of five jurors quoted above did not, in fact, represent the unanimous view of all 12, the remaining jurors would allow the inaccuracy to go uncorrected,” the attorney added. The defense argues that had the remaining jurors disagreed, they would have notified the court. The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office disputes this narrative, asserting that no official verdict was reached on any of the charges before the mistrial was declared. Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally emphasized that the jury was given clear instructions and had ample opportunity to indicate if they had reached a decision. "The jury never indicated they had reached a verdict on any of the charges," said Lally. He also argued that the defense is relying on “hearsay, conjecture and legally inappropriate reliance as to the substance of jury deliberations.” The case has garnered significant attention, in part due to the allegations raised by Read’s defense team, who claim that she is being framed. They argue that O'Keefe was killed inside the home of fellow Boston officer Brian Albert, where O'Keefe was dropped off after a night of drinking, and that his body was later dragged outside. According to the defense, law enforcement focused on Read because she was a “convenient outsider.” An autopsy concluded that O'Keefe died from a combination of hypothermia and blunt force trauma. Prosecutors allege that Read hit O'Keefe with her SUV and drove away, leaving him in the snow. The defense also pointed to troubling behavior from some of the law enforcement officials involved in the investigation. State Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator, was removed from duty after it was revealed during the trial that he had sent offensive text messages, referring to Read as a “whack job” and expressing a desire for her to "kill herself.” Proctor later said his comments were a "figure of speech" and admitted to letting his emotions get the better of him. The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office is expected to respond to the petition by mid-October, and the court will determine whether Read's retrial will proceed as scheduled. Prosecutors remain firm in their stance that Read should be retried on all charges, citing the lack of a formal verdict and maintaining that their case is grounded in the evidence presented at trial.

Gene Deal, a former bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has stirred controversy by releasing videos accusing the music mogul and several high-profile individuals of misconduct. In the videos, Deal alleges that Diddy participated in "freak-offs" with politicians and other celebrities, claiming to have witnessed disturbing behavior during his time working for the rapper.  Gene Deal, Diddy's former bodyguard from the 1990s, claims the disgraced rap mogul kept tapes of politicians participating in his infamous "freak off" parties. Deal suggests these recordings may play a role in a corruption scandal shaking New York City politics. He also believes his own recent arrest may be connected to the unfolding political scandal. These allegations come amid growing calls for a deeper investigation into the death of Kim Porter, Diddy's former partner and mother of his children, who passed away in 2018. Deal has suggested that there may have been a cover-up surrounding her death, urging authorities and the public to look more closely into the circumstances. "I’ve seen things that most people wouldn’t believe," Deal said in one of the videos. "There are people with a lot of power involved, and it’s time the truth comes out." While these claims have captured significant online attention, Diddy’s representatives have not directly addressed Deal's recent videos. However, in response to previous allegations, they have consistently denied any wrongdoing. Kim Porter's death was ruled as complications from pneumonia, but Deal’s accusations suggest that the case may warrant further scrutiny. Fans and internet users have expressed renewed interest in the case, with many demanding transparency. Deal himself insists that more will come to light if authorities reopen the investigation. Porter’s death deeply impacted her family, especially Diddy and their children. In a previous statement, Diddy spoke about Porter, saying, "She was more than the mother of my children. She was my best friend and my confidante. Her loss has left a hole in all of our hearts." Deal’s videos and comments have left many wondering whether the full story has been told regarding Porter’s tragic passing. As the controversy unfolds, the push for a closer look into her death continues to gain momentum across social media. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Accused Idaho Killer Bryan Kohberger Appeared in New Court After Venue Change Bryan Kohberger, the suspect charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students, made his first court appearance in Boise after successfully obtaining a venue change. The hearing marked his first appearance before a new judge after the case was relocated. Kohberger, if convicted, faced the possibility of the death penalty. The session was brief, primarily focused on procedural updates. “It was just a check-in, since the case was moved, and probably just to let the parties know what he expects going forward,” Boise-based defense lawyer Edwina Elcox, who was not involved in the case, told Fox News Digital. The venue change signaled a new phase in the widely publicized case that had captured national attention since the killings nearly two years prior. Kohberger was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. The victims, all students at the University of Idaho, were found in their off-campus home, leading to an extensive investigation that eventually led authorities to Kohberger. At his arraignment the previous year, Kohberger had pleaded not guilty to all charges. The former judge had entered those pleas on his behalf, setting the stage for the ongoing legal battle. A significant part of Kohberger’s defense strategy was a motion to dismiss the death penalty as an option. A hearing to address this issue was scheduled for November 7 at the Ada County courthouse in Boise. The decision on whether capital punishment would remain on the table was a critical point in the case as it moved closer to trial. While the hearing did not result in major developments, legal experts observed that the new judge took the opportunity to establish his authority. “There weren’t any surprises,” Elcox remarked, “but the judge made it clear how he planned to manage the proceedings moving forward.” As the legal process continued, the public and the families of the victims awaited further updates, particularly concerning the looming decision on the death penalty.
