The Moscow Murders and More

From the archives: 1-11-23 The Police use DNA on a daily basis to help them put the pieces of crimes together and the science has been proven to not only be accurate, but accurate to a level where it is hard to dispute. However, there have been times where the DNA evidence was wrong, or mishandled and that has led to the defendant beating the conviction. In this episode, we take another look at the DNA evidence and the critical role it has played so far and will continue to play as the trial of Bryan Kohberger gets underway.

We are learning more about the items that were seized when the police raided Bryan Kohberger's family home in Pennsylvania and several of the more than 60 items were concerning. When we first were discussing this new warrant, it seemed underwhelming. I think it's safe to say that things have certainly changed.

In a dramatic pretrial maneuver, Bryan Kohberger's defense team has introduced an "alternate perpetrator" theory in the 2022 University of Idaho student murders case. During a recent court hearing, Judge Steven Hippler acknowledged the defense's proposal but emphasized the need for concrete evidence to support such a claim. The defense has been given until May 23 to present admissible evidence identifying the alleged alternate suspect. Currently, the details of this theory remain sealed pending the judge's decision on its admissibility . Legal experts view this strategy as a high-risk attempt to introduce reasonable doubt, especially given the substantial evidence against Kohberger, including DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene and surveillance footage of his vehicle near the victims' residence. A hearing to assess the validity of the alternate suspect theory is scheduled for June 18, with the trial set to commence on August 11, 2025 . to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Idaho murders BOMBSHELL as Bryan Kohberger names another suspect | Daily Mail Online Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The first week of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York featured emotionally charged testimony from his former partner, singer Cassie Ventura. Over four days, Ventura detailed an 11-year relationship marked by coercion, physical abuse, and manipulation. She described being forced into drug-fueled "freak-offs"—group sex encounters with paid escorts—often filmed and allegedly used by Combs for blackmail. A 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs assaulting Ventura was presented as evidence. Ventura also recounted an incident where Combs allegedly threatened to suspend someone over a balcony, illustrating a pattern of intimidation and control. The defense acknowledged Combs' history of violence and substance abuse but argued that these actions did not constitute sex trafficking. They portrayed the events as part of a consensual lifestyle, aiming to separate personal misconduct from criminal enterprise. Additional testimony from singer Dawn Richard supported Ventura's claims, recalling a 2009 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Ventura over a domestic dispute. The prosecution contends that Combs operated a criminal network involving staff who facilitated the alleged abuses. The trial, expected to last several more weeks, continues to draw significant public attention. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this April 18, 2025 letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, federal prosecutors strongly oppose Sean Combs’ request to adjourn his May 5 trial date, calling the defense’s application “replete with mischaracterizations” and devoid of legal merit. The government accuses Combs of engaging in “gamesmanship” by shifting the justification for delay—from Speedy Trial Act concerns to alleged discovery issues and now to unresolved evidentiary matters involving Victim-4. Prosecutors argue that these evolving excuses are strategic ploys to derail the court’s schedule and gain a tactical advantage. Emphasizing the lack of any credible or legally grounded basis for postponement, the government urges the court to deny any adjournment outright and keep the trial on track. In this document, Sean Combs' legal team opposes the government’s motion in limine that seeks to avoid disclosing the identities of certain witnesses in the criminal case against him. The defense argues that the government has not demonstrated any credible or individualized threat posed by Combs to justify withholding this information. They note that the government relies on generic assertions about witness safety without offering specific allegations of intimidation, coercion, or retaliation tied directly to Combs. The motion, they claim, lacks the evidentiary foundation required under legal precedent to support such an extreme restriction on the defendant’s constitutional rights. Combs’ attorneys also argue that shielding witness identities until just before trial would severely handicap the defense by preventing them from conducting thorough investigations, preparing cross-examinations, and assessing credibility—core components of a fair trial. They emphasize that protective measures, such as protective orders and redactions where necessary, already exist to mitigate genuine safety concerns without infringing on due process. Ultimately, the filing urges the court to deny the government’s motion, framing it as an overreach that would tilt the trial unfairly in favor of the prosecution. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.266.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In Case No. 24-cv-7201, Sean Combs' legal team, led by attorney Jonathan D. Davis, filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint brought by plaintiff Thalia Graves. The defense argues that Graves' allegations, which pertain to an alleged 2001 rape, are legally insufficient and fail to meet the necessary standards for proceeding to trial. They contend that the complaint lacks specific factual allegations to support claims of misconduct, asserting that the accusations are vague and do not establish a clear connection between Combs' actions and the alleged harms. Furthermore, the defense highlights that the plaintiff's claims are based on generalized assertions without concrete evidence, which, according to them, does not satisfy the legal requirements for a viable lawsuit. Additionally, Combs' attorneys argue that certain claims are barred by statutes of limitations and that Graves has not demonstrated the requisite elements for causes of action such as intentional infliction of emotional distress or negligence. They also assert that the complaint fails to establish a direct link between Combs' conduct and any alleged damages suffered by the plaintiff. Based on these arguments, the defense requests that the court dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety, thereby preventing the case from moving forward to discovery or trial. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628776.55.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The jury in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial consists of 12 individuals—eight men and four women—ranging in age from 30 to 74, with an average age of 52. They hail from various neighborhoods in New York, including Manhattan, the Bronx, and Westchester, and possess diverse professional backgrounds, from deli clerks to scientists. Notably, all jurors hold college degrees, with some having advanced degrees such as master's and PhDs. During the selection process, jurors were questioned about their familiarity with Combs, their ability to remain impartial, and their capacity to handle the graphic nature of the evidence and testimonies expected during the trial. The composition and impartiality of this jury are crucial to the trial's outcome. Given Combs' high-profile status and the serious nature of the charges—including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for purposes of prostitution—the jurors' ability to remain unbiased is paramount. The defense has acknowledged Combs' past abusive behavior but argues that the alleged acts were consensual and part of a particular lifestyle, aiming to distinguish them from criminal conduct. Conversely, the prosecution presents a narrative of coercion and exploitation, with testimonies from individuals like Cassie Ventura detailing alleged abuse and manipulation. The jurors' interpretations of these accounts, influenced by their backgrounds and perceptions, will ultimately determine the verdict in this significant case. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Diddy federal trial jury seated with 8 men, 4 women jurors | Fox News Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
