Why D4vd Made Twelve Million And Couldn't Pay His Own Lawyers Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Twelve million dollars went through d4vd's accounts between 2022 and 2025 — management fees, recording costs, legal expenses, brand partnerships, and a twenty-thousand-dollar monthly rental in the Hollywood Hills. His mother Colleen made the financial decisions. His label terminated him in December 2025, four months before his arrest. By August 31, 2026, a Los Angeles court determined the singer qualifies as indigent. Blair Berk, the Hollywood crisis attorney who built her career representing Harvey Weinstein and Mel Gibson, withdrew from the case at the same hearing where Burke pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances. Her co-counsel Marilyn Bednarski told Rolling Stone it was Burke's decision and there's "no conflict" — then declined to explain how he qualifies for a public defender. The LA County Public Defender's Office took over. Deputy Public Defenders Walid Kandeel and Lisa Anne Roth are now responsible for a case where the DA says death remains on the table. This episode traces the money, examines what Blair Berk was actually built for, and asks whether the public defender's office might be the better bet when the state is deciding whether to end your life.

Lindsay Clancy's Jury Composition Could Change Everything Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Nine women and three men walked into the deliberation room. Three and a half hours. No verdict. Five options sit on those slips — first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty.
First-degree carries life in prison without parole. Not criminally responsible means commitment to a psychiatric facility — not release. Andrea Yates has been in a state hospital for twenty years after receiving that verdict in a postpartum case.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates. They disagree on this case and dig into the verdict options, the jury composition, and what happens if those twelve people can't agree.
The judge added manslaughter at the defense's request — up to twenty years instead of life. Clancy has already spent three and a half years at Tewksbury Hospital, paralyzed from the waist down after her suicide attempt. Patrick Clancy's wrongful death lawsuit against her providers is filed.
Every mother who ever had a dark thought after having a baby is watching what nine women decide next.

Keffe D's Tupac Murder Verdict and What He Said to the Judge Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip, a jury convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder. The verdict arrived after roughly three hours. Davis’s defense attorney had argued for almost two hours that his client’s 18 years of recorded confessions were fabricated for money and street credibility. The jury rejected that argument. The prosecution had no recovered weapon, no vehicle, and no cooperating eyewitness — Suge Knight refused to talk to either side. Prosecutors relied entirely on Davis’s own words across a federal proffer, police interviews, a documentary, and a memoir. Tupac’s sister Sekyiwa Shakur wept as the verdict was announced. Davis faces life in prison at sentencing on October 13 and has stated his intention to appeal. What he told the judge immediately after the conviction is something you need to hear.

Lindsay Clancy's Voice Did Something Prosecutors Can't Explain Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Lindsay Clancy told evaluators a male voice appeared for the first time on the afternoon of January 24, 2023. The voice told her this was her last chance — kill the children and then herself. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes. It stopped the moment the children were dead. She has not reported hearing it since.
The prosecution's own expert Gregory Saathoff called that pattern unusual. Command hallucinations do not typically appear once and vanish. Defense experts Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both testified the voice was consistent with postpartum psychosis. Resnick called Clancy a puppet and categorized the killings as altruistic filicide — killing out of a belief she was protecting her children from suffering without her.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates in Plymouth Superior Court. They disagree on this case and dig into what the defense actually proved — and whether a jury of nine women and three men can convict after hearing it.
Reddington blamed the medications and the doctors. Sprague blamed the woman who made a choice. The jury is deciding which version they believe.

Lindsay Clancy's Prosecution Expert Just Made The Defense's Case Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun took the stand for the prosecution to prove Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children. He told the jury it was a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing the children out of love. He said Clancy retained moral awareness — but his own language characterized the motive as love, not deliberate cruelty.
A second prosecution expert, forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, agreed on the stand that the prosecution's own opening statement minimized what Clancy had endured. Saathoff also pointed to inconsistencies in Clancy's account of the command hallucination she described — including that the voice appeared for the first time on the day of the killings and stopped the moment the children were dead.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates. They see this case very differently and get into where the prosecution landed after four weeks of testimony and closing arguments.
Sprague told the jury Clancy planned it, calculated the window, and made a rational choice. She called the children broken toys left on the basement floor.
The jury — nine women and three men — deliberated for three and a half hours on day one with no verdict.

Lindsay Clancy's Children Could Have Been Saved Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Mental health conditions are now the leading killer of new mothers in the United States. The CDC puts the number at nearly twenty-three percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, ahead of hemorrhage, ahead of heart failure. Over eighty percent were preventable. One in five mothers gets screened for depression after delivery.

Those numbers sit behind the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023, less than three weeks after being released from a psychiatric facility. Prosecutors and her defense team agree she was mentally ill. The jury is weighing whether she was too ill to understand her actions.

Her defense rests on postpartum psychosis, a psychiatric emergency affecting roughly one to two mothers per thousand births. Despite the name, clinicians describe it as a mood disorder that arrives fast and disguises itself as ordinary postpartum fatigue. Bipolar history and prior episodes are the clearest warning signs, both screenable before delivery. With early treatment the acute crisis resolves in weeks.

Forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick testified for Clancy's defense. He also testified for Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity. Meghan Cliffel, a postpartum psychosis survivor from 2015, questions why the system waits for dead children before it pays attention.

Lindsay Clancy's Fate Comes Down to WHAT the Jury Believes Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Five weeks. Over eighty witnesses. The prosecution says Lindsay Clancy chose to kill her three children. The defense says her doctors broke her with medications and she was psychotic when it happened. Online, thousands are accusing Patrick of the murders Lindsay admitted to committing.

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was in the courtroom for the trial. He joins Tony Brueski for the full breakdown — prosecution, defense, and what comes next.

The Expert Kohberger's Team Hired Just Turned on Him Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Bryan Kohberger's post-conviction petition earned an evidentiary hearing — set for June 17, 2027 before Judge Steven Hippler. Prosecutors tried to get it dismissed without a hearing and failed. But the hearing is the system working as designed, not a signal that Kohberger's claims carry weight.

The petition accuses his former defense team of coercing a false confession, withholding hair evidence from Ethan Chapin's hand, and making promises about prison conditions that never came true. All of this runs headfirst into a nine-page questionnaire Kohberger signed under oath confirming his plea was voluntary and that no outside promises influenced his decision.

Criminal defense attorney David Gelman says post-sentencing plea reversals are extraordinarily rare. Northeastern law professor Daniel Medwed called it a monumental uphill battle. Even a successful withdrawal puts the death penalty back on the table and sends Kohberger to trial carrying his own sworn confession.

Digital forensics expert Sy Ray — retained by Kohberger's own defense team before the plea — responded to the petition by going public with claims of additional incriminating cellphone data and calling for a new trial with the death penalty restored. Kohberger cited Ray's work in his petition. Ray's answer: put the former defense attorneys under oath and try this case again.

Lindsay Clancy's Jury Can Send Her to a Hospital FOREVER Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Lindsay Clancy's jury has five options for each of her three children — not guilty, not criminally responsible, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or manslaughter. If the jury finds her not criminally responsible, the state can commit her to a psychiatric facility with no end date.

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was in the courtroom. He joins Tony Brueski to explain what each verdict means for Lindsay's future. Bob also addresses the online conspiracy accusing Patrick of the murders and breaks down whether the malpractice lawsuits survive regardless of the criminal verdict.

Cruise Ship Murder: Timothy Hudson's Family Did What to His Defense? Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

In the first forty-eight hours after Anna Kepner's body was found aboard the Carnival Horizon, custody filings allege Timothy Hudson's mother texted his biological father that she'd told their son she loved him. Within weeks, those same filings claim she said she couldn't jeopardize her marriage to help him. The filings allege the family wanted Timothy "buried." That's how fast the fracture happened.

Timothy Hudson is sixteen, charged as an adult with first-degree murder in his stepsister's death. His defense team just told a federal judge they need more time because a "very unfortunate family dynamic" is preventing them from reaching family members essential to a Miller hearing — a constitutionally required proceeding examining a juvenile's childhood before a life sentence. The judge granted the continuance. Prosecutors didn't oppose it.

The defense won't say who they can't reach. The custody record says it for them. Timothy's mother is married to Anna's father Christopher Kepner. She is both the accused killer's biological mother and the stepmother of the person who was killed. Court records from the custody case show she and Christopher expelled Timothy from their home. His biological father Thomas Hudson — who appears to be cooperating with the defense — put the text exchanges into the court record. Christopher Kepner told reporters he wants Timothy in "orange jumpsuit and handcuffs."

The trial is set for November 2nd. The plea deadline is October 23rd. The Miller hearing happens regardless of which path the defense takes — and they can't prepare for it without the parent who raised Timothy day to day.
