Murder In Moscow: Prosecutors Want To Perform Their Own Mental Exam On Kohberger (4/30/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein’s chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein’s personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls’ schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein’s "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein’s properties to avoid law enforcement detection.While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein’s arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​The U.S. government's motions in limine in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs seek to shape the evidentiary landscape for the upcoming trial. Prosecutors aim to introduce corroborative materials such as text messages, diary entries from a former employee, and a 911 call to support the testimonies of alleged victims. They argue that these pieces of evidence are crucial to demonstrate patterns of behavior and to counter anticipated challenges to the credibility of witnesses. Additionally, the government requests the exclusion of certain defense evidence, including prior consensual sexual encounters Combs had with individuals not involved in the case, asserting that such information is irrelevant and could mislead the jury.Furthermore, the prosecution seeks to admit expert testimony from psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, who would explain how victims of abuse might remain in relationships with their abusers due to emotional manipulation or fear. This testimony is intended to provide context for the victims' continued association with Combs, which the defense might use to question their credibility. The motions also address the admissibility of a 2016 surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The defense contests this video's inclusion, claiming it has been altered and lacks authenticityto contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.260.0_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

An Idaho judge rejected Bryan Kohberger’s attempt to avoid the death penalty by claiming he has autism, calling the defense’s argument “hollow” and legally insufficient. Judge John Judge ruled that merely alleging a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder does not meet the legal threshold for striking the death penalty, especially without substantial evidence that it impaired Kohberger’s ability to understand his actions or conform to the law. The decision marks a significant setback for the defense, as prosecutors continue to pursue capital punishment for Kohberger, who is accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in a brutal 2022 stabbing attack.Prosecutors in the Bryan Kohberger case filed a motion requesting the court’s permission to conduct their own mental health evaluation of the defendant after his legal team claimed he has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The state argued that because the defense may use this diagnosis to avoid the death penalty or influence jurors during sentencing, the prosecution must be allowed to independently assess Kohberger’s mental state to verify the claims. Prosecutors emphasized that fairness requires reciprocal access to psychological evaluations if mental health becomes part of the defense strategy, particularly in a capital case involving the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students.to contact me:[email protected]:Judge rejects Bryan Kohberger's bid to escape death penalty in Idaho student murders | Fox NewsProsecutors want to do their own evaluation of Bryan Kohberger's mental health | News | kxly.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On Day 6 of Karen Read’s retrial, key prosecution witness Jennifer McCabe provided emotional testimony about the events surrounding the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. McCabe, a close friend of both Read and O’Keefe, recounted the early morning of January 29, 2022, when she and Read discovered O’Keefe’s body in the snow outside a home in Canton, Massachusetts. She described Read as hysterical, repeatedly asking, “Did I hit him?” and crawling over O’Keefe’s body in distress. McCabe also addressed a controversial Google search for “how long to die in cold,” which prosecutors allege she made at Read’s request after finding the body. The defense contends the search occurred earlier and is part of a broader cover-up to frame Read.Earlier in the day, digital forensics expert Ian Whiffin testified about cell phone data from O’Keefe and McCabe. Whiffin stated that O’Keefe’s phone data indicated he never entered the house where the party occurred, challenging the defense’s theory that he was killed inside and later moved outside. However, under cross-examination, Whiffin acknowledged that the phone’s location data had a margin of error that could place it inside the house. Additionally, Judge Beverly Cannone ruled that the defense could present testimony from their crash reconstruction experts, despite previous violations of court orders, but issued a stern warning to the defense to adhere strictly to courtroom rules moving forward.to  contact me:[email protected]:Jen McCabe begins testimony in Karen Read trial; judge warns defense "no more nonsense" - CBS BostonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The nation's leading media outlets largely ignored the Epstein case for decades even though they had enough to run stories. If it wasn't intrepid investigative reporters from smaller outlets and independent content creators/investigative journalists, this story would have never went anywhere.(Commercial at 10:49)To contact me:[email protected]:https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/jeffrey-epstein-s-crimes-would-have-gone-unexposed-without-local-n1274901Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
