The True Story of How Jailhouse Lawyers Took Down a Crooked Cop!

In the podcast "The Burden," hosts Steve Fishman and Dax-Devlon Ross take us deep into the controversial career of Louis Scarcella, a detective once heralded as a hero within the NYPD. Known for his knack for closing cases, Scarcella's legacy is reexamined as we unravel a story of justice, ambition, and redemption. Scarcella breaks his silence for the first time, offering us an unprecedented look into his methods and mindset during the height of his career. Through intense narrative storytelling and investigative rigor, Steve and Dax also bring us face-to-face with the men wrongfully convicted on Scarcella’s watch — men who fought tirelessly to reclaim their freedom and now share their harrowing journeys. "The Burden" weaves together the past and present, exposing the fragility of justice and the human cost of error. This episode explores the dramatic rise and fall of a supercop and poses urgent questions about the systems we trust to protect us. Join us as we delve into a world where the lines between right and wrong are blurred and broken.

Convicted murderer Rebecca Grossman’s jailhouse telephone antics aren’t worthy of any sanctions, a judge ruled Friday, calling her actions the result of “naivety” while agreeing to delay her sentencing by two additional months. Prosecutors had sought to have Grossman’s jailhouse privileges revoked after a series of recorded telephone calls from the Twin Towers jail to her family instructed them to release evidence that had been sealed during her double murder trial and to track down witnesses to get them to say their testimony was directed. Grossman has been awaiting sentencing since her Feb. 23 conviction of second-degree murder in the deaths of two brothers who were struck and killed in a crosswalk as she sped along a residential Westlake Village street in September 2020.

James Crumbley Declines to Testify in His Involuntary Manslaughter Trial, unlike his wife, Jennifer Crumbley, who was convicted last month. Witness testimony in the trial ended on Wednesday. Mr. Crumbley faces involuntary manslaughter charges for the four students killed by his son, Ethan Crumbley. Testimony concluded Wednesday morning in the trial of James Crumbley, whose son carried out Michigan’s deadliest school shooting more than two years ago and whose wife was convicted last month in the same courtroom for failing to prevent the rampage. Prosecutors took the rare step of seeking to hold the Crumbleys partially responsible for the shooting at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021, in which their son, Ethan, who was 15 at the time, killed four people and injured seven others. “That nightmare was preventable, and it was foreseeable,” Marc Keast, an Oakland County prosecutor, said in an opening statement last week. He accused Mr. Crumbley of failing to secure the gun that his son used in the shooting. Mr. Crumbley has been jailed since December 2021, when he and his wife, Jennifer Crumbley, were each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter. They requested separate trials, and unlike his wife, Mr. Crumbley chose not to testify in his own defense.

On October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Bonanza City, New Mexico, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured on the set of the film Rust when a live round was discharged from a revolver used as a prop by actor Alec Baldwin. Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's criminal trial is finally underway, more than two years after the fatal on-set shooting of the movie's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. She faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence that Santa Fe County District Attorney's office first filed against her in January 2023. Gutierrez-Reed entered a written plea of not guilty on Aug. 9, 2023. "Ms. Gutierrez has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is preparing for her day in court," her attorney Bowles said in a statement to PEOPLE at that time. "She looks forward to her day in court and to having the conduct of everyone on set fully examined."

After 27 days at Stamford Superior Court, with attorneys introducing more than 200 exhibits of evidence and calling dozens of witnesses, Troconis stood before the judge and answered his questions in Spanish with an English interpreter as she informed the court that she would not testify. “Did you have an opportunity to talk with your lawyers about whether or not it is in your best legal interest not to testify?” asked Judge Kevin A. Randolph. “Si,” said Troconis.
