The evidence against Bryan Kohberger that has been presented thus far has been very strong as far as circumstational evidence goes. However, that doesn't mean that there is no room for the defense to try to punch holes in the evidence, especially if the only DNA turns out to be the DNA left on the sheath.


In this episode, we hear from Tracy Walder who discusses what the DNA found on the sheath tells us and doesn't tell us and how the defense might attempt to attack this evidence.

At the July 2, 2025 plea hearing, Bryan Kohberger stood before a Boise courtroom and admitted responsibility for one of the most chilling crimes in recent American memory—the murders of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. In a quiet, deliberate voice, he pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. As part of the plea agreement, he will serve four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, along with an additional 10 years for the burglary charge. In exchange, the death penalty was taken off the table. When asked directly by the judge whether he...

In a letter submitted to Judge Arun Subramanian of the Southern District of New York, federal prosecutors addressed the status of Sean Combs following the conclusion of his jury trial. After a seven-week proceeding, Combs was found guilty on two counts of interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2421(a). In light of the conviction, Combs’ legal team filed a motion requesting that he be released on bail while awaiting sentencing.

However, the Government argues that under the Bail Reform Act, specifically 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2), detention is mandatory for a defendant who...

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Sean Combs' legal team requested his release on appropriate conditions under 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1) while he awaits sentencing. The defense emphasized that the jury acquitted Combs of the most serious charges—RICO conspiracy and sex trafficking—undermining the government’s core allegations that he led a criminal enterprise. They argue that given these acquittals, continued detention is no longer justified.

The letter also highlights Combs' conduct since his arrest on September 17, 2024. According to his attorneys, Combs voluntarily surrendered, has fully complied with the court, and maintained exemplary behavior while in custody...

In the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, one glaring absence stood out: Kristina Khorrum, Combs’ longtime chief of staff. Despite being repeatedly named in witness testimony and implicated in key aspects of the alleged criminal enterprise—including orchestrating logistics for “freak-offs,” covering up acts of violence, and directly communicating with victims—Khorrum was never called to testify. Her documented role placed her at the operational center of Combs’ activities, making her a critical figure in proving Count 1, the RICO conspiracy charge. Yet the prosecution relied on texts and voicemails instead of live testimony, leaving the jury...

After four weeks of trial, Sean "Diddy" Combs's defense team has mounted a vigorous challenge to the federal RICO charges against him, which include allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking. Led by attorney Brian Steel, the defense has sought to dismantle the prosecution's narrative by emphasizing that Combs's relationships and interactions were consensual, albeit complex and sometimes tumultuous. They argue that the prosecution's portrayal of Combs as orchestrating a criminal enterprise is a mischaracterization of his personal and professional life. In cross-examinations, the defense has highlighted inconsistencies in witness testimonies and questioned the credibility of accusers, suggesting that some allegations...

In the memorandum supporting their consolidated motion to dismiss, the defendants in the case of Dawn Angelique Richard v. Sean Combs et al. argue that the plaintiff's claims are largely time-barred under New York's statutes of limitations. They contend that the state’s shorter limitation periods should apply, rendering many of the plaintiff's causes of action untimely. Specifically, they assert that claims related to assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, trafficking, forced labor, and various employment-related allegations fall outside the permissible time frames. The defendants also challenge the applicability of revival statutes, arguing that the Gender-Motivated Violence La...

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, Regina Ventura, mother of singer Cassie Ventura, delivered compelling testimony that bolstered the prosecution's case. She recounted a distressing incident from December 2011, when Cassie informed her via email that Combs had threatened to release explicit videos of her and to harm both her and her then-partner, rapper Kid Cudi. In response to these threats, Regina and her husband took out a home equity loan to pay Combs $20,000, as he claimed he wanted to recoup money he had spent on Cassie. Although the money was returned a few days later, Regina testified that...

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, Sharay Hayes, a male exotic dancer known as "The Punisher," provided detailed testimony about his involvement in orchestrated sexual encounters, referred to as "freak-offs," involving Combs and singer Cassie Ventura. Hayes recounted that his first encounter occurred in 2012 at a Trump Tower suite in New York City, where he was instructed by Ventura to perform a "sexy scene" while a man, later identified as Combs, observed silently from a distance, wearing a veil over his face. Over the next few years, Hayes participated in approximately eight to twelve...

Bryan Kohberger, 30, pleaded guilty today to the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—as well as to felony burglary. During the hearing in a Boise courtroom, he answered “yes” when asked if he was guilty of each murder, confirming to the judge that he understood the charges and was admitting guilt voluntarily. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors agreed to remove the death penalty from consideration. Kohberger will now serve four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus additional time for burglary. He also waived all rights to futur...

Despite Bryan Kohberger’s guilty plea to the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, a loud corner of the internet remains in absolute denial. These die-hard defenders—many of whom spent over a year spinning elaborate conspiracies—have refused to accept reality. Instead of acknowledging the confession, they’re now claiming he was coerced, framed, or railroaded into pleading guilty. Some insist it was a "tactical move" or a "ploy to expose the real killer," despite there being no legal precedent, factual basis, or courtroom indication supporting any of it. The DNA evidence, cell phone data, surveillance footage, and now...

In the federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, the jury delivered a split verdict after three days of deliberation. Combs was found not guilty on the most serious charge of racketeering conspiracy (Count 1) and also acquitted on the sex trafficking charges. These counts had carried the potential for a life sentence had he been convicted. The jury appeared unconvinced that the prosecution met the burden of proving Combs led or participated in an organized criminal enterprise under the RICO statute.


However, the jury did find Combs guilty on two counts of violating the Mann Act, specifically for...

In the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, Judge Arun Subramanian delivered final jury instructions that laid out the legal framework the jurors must follow as they deliberate on the charges. He emphasized the presumption of innocence, reminding jurors that the burden of proof rests entirely on the government and that Combs is not required to prove anything or call any witnesses. The judge explained that the prosecution must prove each element of every charged crime beyond a reasonable doubt, and that speculation, bias, or media narratives have no place in the jury room. He cautioned jurors to evaluate the evid...

On Day 8 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, the courtroom heard critical testimonies from a forensic psychologist and a former executive assistant, shedding light on the alleged abusive dynamics within Combs' personal and professional life. Forensic psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes testified about the psychological patterns commonly observed in abusive relationships, such as trauma bonding and victim behavior, without directly referencing Combs or specific accusers. Despite the defense's attempts to portray her as biased, Hughes maintained her neutrality and emphasized the complexities victims face in abusive situations. Her insights aimed to provide context to the behaviors and...

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, former personal assistant David James provided detailed testimony about his time working for Combs from 2007 to 2009. James described a demanding work environment, stating that he was responsible for preparing hotel rooms with specific items, including a toiletry bag containing 25 to 30 pill bottles—some unmarked—and personal items like baby oil and condoms, which he purchased with cash provided by Combs' security team. He testified that Combs carried pills shaped like former President Barack Obama's face and consumed drugs daily, including ecstasy and Percocet. James also recounted being subjected to lie detector tests on t...

Kouri Richins, the Utah woman now facing murder and fraud charges, allegedly hosted a large house party at her home just one day after her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead from a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. According to court documents and witness accounts, the party followed her closing on a $2 million home tied to her real estate business. Friends who attended described the gathering as festive, with Kouri drinking and celebrating in what prosecutors claim was a highly inappropriate and suspicious display of behavior for a newly widowed spouse. This event has since become a focal point in the...

Kouri Richins is a 33‑year‑old Utah mother of three, a former real estate agent, and author of a self‑published children’s book titled Are You With Me?, which addresses coping with the death of a parent. In March 2022, her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead from a lethal dose of illicit fentanyl. Prosecutors allege Kouri poisoned him—first with a bagel sandwich on Valentine’s Day and later via a fentanyl‑laced Moscow mule cocktail—and wrote the grief book afterward, allegedly to bolster her narrative of his “unexpected” death.


Additionally, in June 2025, she was charged with 26 new...

Sean “Diddy” Combs faces significant difficulty overcoming the Mann Act charges due to the sheer volume and consistency of evidence presented at trial showing he orchestrated interstate travel for the purpose of prostitution. Witness after witness testified that Combs regularly flew in male escorts—referred to in court as dancers or “entertainers”—to participate in so-called “freak-offs,” often involving his partners Cassie Ventura and “Jane.” Multiple former employees confirmed that they were tasked with arranging these flights, booking hotels, and managing logistics, all under Combs’s direct instruction. One dancer testified that he was flown in on 8 to 12 separate occasions to have sex with Cassi...

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. In exchange for pleading guilty to all four counts of first-degree murder—and additional burglary charges—he will receive four consecutive life sentences, with no possibility of parole and a waiver of all appellate rights. This deal effectively removes the death penalty—recently reinstated in Idaho with an optional firing-squad execution—from consideration, sparing Kohberger from capital punishment


The plea comes just weeks before his scheduled trial in August and is set to be formalized during a plea hearing on J...

Jurors in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs are set to begin deliberations on Monday, June 30, marking the final and most consequential phase of a case that has gripped both the entertainment world and the legal community. After seven weeks of testimony—including 34 prosecution witnesses, graphic accounts of abuse from women like Cassie Ventura and “Jane,” and surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Cassie in 2016—the case now shifts entirely to the jury’s interpretation of the facts. The 12 jurors, made up of eight men and four women, will return to court to receive final legal instructions before beginning deliberations behind closed...

On the sixth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, singer Dawn Richard delivered harrowing testimony detailing multiple instances of physical abuse Combs allegedly inflicted upon his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Richard recounted a 2009 incident at Combs' Los Angeles home where, enraged over breakfast, he purportedly attempted to strike Ventura with a skillet full of eggs, subsequently dragging her by the hair upstairs. She also described a 2010 episode at a restaurant where Combs allegedly punched Ventura in the stomach in the presence of celebrities like Usher and Ne-Yo, none of whom intervened. Richard testified that Combs...

On the fifth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial, Cassie Ventura concluded her emotional four-day testimony. During cross-examination, Ventura detailed the alleged abuse she endured over their 11-year relationship, including being coerced into "freak-offs"—drug-fueled sex parties involving male escorts—at Combs's behest. She testified that these experiences left her feeling "worthless" and likened her involvement to being a "sex worker" due to the preparation and coercion involved. Ventura also recounted physical abuse incidents, such as a 2009 assault witnessed by former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard, and a 2016 hotel hallway attack captured on surveillance footage. Despite the defense's attempts to p...

In the initial hours after Bryan Kohberger's arrest, there was a frantic dash to try to find out as much information about him as possible. During that dash, those of us who were following along were able to get a glimpse of an instagram account that allegedly belonged to Bryan Kohberger. That same account was also following and interacting with Madison's account. A few hours later and that account was purged.


In this episode, we hear from the Goncalves family who also saw that account and not only saw it, but they took screenshots as well. With...

In the case of Doe v. Combs et al., No. 1:24-cv-01457-JPO, the plaintiff, Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit against Sean Combs and associated entities, alleging personal injury. The court issued a Memorandum and Order addressing several key motions. Firstly, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to proceed under a pseudonym, allowing her to maintain anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the allegations. Secondly, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss the case, finding that the plaintiff's claims were sufficiently plausible to proceed to discovery.

Additionally, the court addressed the defendants' motion to strike certain allegations...

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has firmly denied allegations involving a second victim in his purported sex trafficking activities. They assert that these claims are baseless and part of a broader effort to tarnish Combs' reputation. His attorneys emphasize that the accusations lack credible evidence and are driven by individuals seeking financial gain or media attention.

Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, remains in custody after being denied bail. His defense team is actively preparing for the upcoming trial, maintaining that the allegations are unfounded. They argue that the prosecution's case relies on unsubstantiated claims...

This filing, submitted on behalf of Sean Combs and his co-defendants in the case English v. Combs et al., opposes the plaintiff’s renewed request for a 60-day extension to secure a third set of legal counsel. The defense argues that the plaintiff has already cycled through two legal teams—both of whom withdrew due to serious breakdowns in the attorney-client relationship, including what they described as “self-destructive conduct,” refusal to follow legal advice, and irreconcilable differences. The filing outlines a timeline of delays and extensions already granted, emphasizing that the plaintiff’s behavior has repeatedly stalled progress and wasted the court’...

​Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has filed a motion to exclude a 2016 surveillance video from his upcoming federal trial, arguing that the footage—released by CNN in 2024—has been altered and is not a reliable representation of events. The video depicts Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Combs, who has previously apologized for his actions in the video, is currently facing charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and coercion. His lawyers claim that the video was manipulated, with distortions and speed alterations that exaggerate his actions, and that the original tape was destroyed, making it ina...
