The Moscow Murders and More

In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (24 Cr. 542), federal prosecutors have filed an opposition to the defense's motions requesting a hearing, a bill of particulars, and a gag order. The defense sought a hearing to investigate alleged government leaks of evidence, specifically a 2016 video purportedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Prosecutors refuted these claims, stating they did not possess the video prior to its public release and had no involvement in its dissemination. They argued that the defense's allegations are baseless and represent a strategic attempt to suppress critical evidence that is highly probative of Combs...

​In the case identified as CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan Kohberger has filed a motion to suppress evidence obtained from the execution of a Pennsylvania search warrant at 119 Lamsden Drive, Albrightsville, PA, as well as statements he made during that operation. Kohberger's defense argues that the search warrant was invalid due to alleged reckless or intentional omissions of material facts in the supporting affidavit. They contend that these omissions led to a lack of probable cause, rendering the search unconstitutional. Additionally, the defense asserts that law enforcement's failure to properly "knock and announce" their presence violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights, an...

One of the strongest pieces of evidence that we have seen that the prosecution has collected against Bryan Kohberger is the DNA on the knife sheath that was traced back to him through his father. Yet there are some who are speculating that Bryan Kohberger left the sheath on purpose.


In this episode, we take a look at some of that speculation and if there is any evidence that would prove it.

Idaho murder suspect...

In the lead-up to Bryan Kohberger's trial for the alleged murders of four University of Idaho students, his defense team has highlighted several rumors circulating within Latah County that could potentially bias the jury pool. These include unverified claims that Kohberger had used a fake name to meet women, that he had been terminated from a teaching assistant position due to behavioral issues, and that he had a history of drug use. Additionally, there were speculations about his alleged involvement in other unsolved crimes, purportedly odd behavior during his time as a graduate student, and supposed comments he made about...

After lunch, Marc Agnifilo sharpened his focus on reframing the core allegations as nothing more than the product of consensual, if unconventional, relationships. He argued that what the government described as trafficking was in fact a mutual lifestyle choice embraced by Combs and his partners, particularly Cassie Ventura and “Jane.” He portrayed the so-called “freak-offs” not as coercive events, but as expressions of intimacy, repeating that “this is how they're close.” He told jurors that Cassie willingly participated, highlighting video stills of her appearing relaxed and smiling in a hotel suite. His argument hinged on the notion that proximity, emotional connection...

Marc Agnifilo opened the defense’s closing argument by sharply criticizing the government’s characterization of Combs’s private life as criminal. He jeered at the federal agents for seizing large quantities of Astroglyde and baby oil, sarcastically applauding, “Way to go, fellas,” and insisted that the case had been “badly exaggerated”.     Agnifilo argued that what the prosecution portrayed as a racketeering enterprise was nothing more than consensual behavior—a swingers’ lifestyle with drug use—and proclaimed that Combs “did not do racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking."


Before the morning break, Agnifilo portrayed Combs not as a felon but as “a self‑made...

The comparison between Ghislaine Maxwell and Kristina Khorrum misses the mark because it fundamentally misrepresents their roles and levels of power within the criminal enterprises they were allegedly tied to. Ghislaine Maxwell operated as a partner to Jeffrey Epstein—his chief recruiter, enabler, and co-conspirator in a global sex trafficking operation. She was embedded in the core infrastructure of Epstein’s scheme, allegedly participating in abuse and directly managing the grooming and procurement of girls. Kristina Khorrum, by contrast, is not accused of building or leading a criminal network. While her name has surfaced in connection with allegations involving Sean Comb...

Right after the lunch recess, Slavik resumed by focusing on Combs’s relationship with “Jane,” the pseudonymous ex-girlfriend. She recapped how Combs escalated from “love‑bombing” with gifts and trips to coercive “hotel-night” sessions, leveraging his control over Jane’s living situation and finances. She emphasized that even a single coerced “freak-off” session is enough for a sex-trafficking conviction, reminding the jury that Jane testified: “I didn’t want it to feel too real… it just made things easier,” indicating she participated out of fear and manipulation.

Slavik then turned to racketeering and witness tampering, detailing how Combs and associates reached out to...

After lunch, Slavik resumed by delving deeper into the case of the witness known as “Jane,” outlining the four stages of her relationship with Combs—from early “love‑bombing” to repeated “hotel nights” (or “freak‑offs”) orchestrated under Combs’s control via lies, threats, and the looming possibility of losing housing or having intimate recordings released.   

She emphasized that even a single coerced encounter—if facilitated by his enterprise—met the legal definition of sex trafficking. “You do not need to find that all of the freak‑offs… were force or coercion,” she told jurors; “if there was one time, one single freak‑off, when the...

Slavik began by hammering home that Sean “Diddy” Combs was the unquestioned leader of a criminal enterprise—a “kingdom” built on wealth, fame, and a loyal inner circle ready to do his bidding. She painted a picture of Combs as empowered by his status and surrounded by lieutenants—assistants and security personnel—who enabled violent and criminal conduct. Addressing the racketeering conspiracy, she reminded jurors that the law views group crime as more dangerous, arguing that Combs’s enterprise committed hundreds of predicate acts: from drug distribution and bribery to witness tampering and forced labor.   She emphasized that Combs “doesn’t take no for an answ...

Grace O'Marcaigh has filed serious allegations against both Sean "Diddy" Combs and his son, Christian Combs. O'Marcaigh claims that she was sexually assaulted by Christian while working as a crew member on a yacht chartered by the Combs family in December 2022. According to her lawsuit, Christian coerced her into drinking tequila, which she suspects was drugged. She alleges that after becoming impaired, Christian became aggressive and assaulted her in various areas of the yacht, including a private studio. O'Marcaigh reported the incident to the yacht’s captain but claims that no action was taken, as Christian allegedly paid off the ca...

In State of Idaho v. Bryan Kohberger (Case Number CR01-24-31665), Motion in Limine #2 seeks to exclude vague and undisclosed expert testimony from being used at trial. Kohberger’s defense argues that the prosecution has not properly disclosed the identities, qualifications, or specific opinions of their expert witnesses, violating established discovery rules. The defense contends that admitting broad, undefined, or last-minute expert testimony would place them at a severe disadvantage by preventing effective cross-examination and rebuttal preparation. They emphasize that expert testimony should meet the Daubert standard, ensuring that all scientific or technical evidence presented in court is reliable, re...

Recently Idaho passed a law that legalized death by firing squad in the event that chemicals used in the cocktail given to the condemned is not available. With several high profile cases working their way through the system in Idaho, including the murder trial of Bryan Kohberger, legal experts are providing more context on the state of Idaho and their history with the death penalty.

In this episode, we take a look at some of that history and hear what the experts have to say about the firing...

According to students who were in his classes and his classmates, Bryan Kohberger continued on with his life, at least while at school, like nothing happened. In fact, he returned to his teaching assistant job directly after the murders took place. Sources say that he didn't exhibit any signs of distress and was acting normal, even when discussing the murders.

On June 24, 2025, the prosecution in United States v. Combs submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian outlining its requested revisions to the Court’s proposed jury instructions. The Government focused on ensuring that the legal language provided to jurors accurately reflected the elements of the charges and the standards for assessing the evidence presented during trial. These changes were framed as necessary to clarify certain points of law and to avoid confusion or misinterpretation by the jury during deliberations.

In filings ahead of the August 11 trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys disclosed two surprise Pennsylvania-based witnesses: William Searfoss, a correctional officer at the Monroe County Correctional Facility who oversaw Kohberger during his short stay following the December 2022 arrest, and Anthony Somma, a former classmate from a youth law enforcement program that Kohberger attended and was later removed from amid complaints from female peers.  Their exact roles—whether they will bolster the prosecution’s case or support Kohberger’s defense—remain unclear, with both flagged for a June 30 pre‑trial hearing to determine if they will be required to testify .

Federal prosecutors handling Sean “Diddy” Combs’ racketeering case informed Judge Arun Subramanian—on June 25, just before closing arguments—that they would no longer pursue three specific predicate charges: attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking. These predicates were part of the broader racketeering conspiracy charge. Prosecutors said the decision was aimed at simplifying jury instructions and helping jurors focus on the remaining core allegations.


Despite dropping those predicates, the prosecution still pressed ahead with the central charges, including racketeering tied to forced labor, drug offenses, and bribery, as well as two counts of sex trafficking...

In the case of John Doe v. Sean Combs, Garren James, and Cowboys4Angels, filed under Civil No. 1:25-cv-01652-LAP, the plaintiff, John Doe, alleges serious claims against the defendants. Represented by Eisenberg & Baum, LLP, John Doe asserts that he was subjected to sexual exploitation and trafficking by the defendants. The complaint outlines that Sean Combs, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, along with Garren James, the founder of Cowboys4Angels, a male escort agency, and the agency itself, were involved in orchestrating and facilitating the plaintiff's exploitation. The plaintiff contends that he was coerced into engaging in commercial...

The complaint alleges that the defendants participated in a criminal enterprise involving human trafficking, sexual exploitation, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice. Joseph claims he was drugged, transported across state lines, and subjected to sexual violence orchestrated by Combs, with assistance from the other named individuals.

The family of Kaylee Goncalves has been very vocal about the investigation into the murder of their loved one. This has not sat well with the authorities in Idaho who have tried to keep things close to their vest as they maintain that the secrecy was needed to maintain the integrity of the investigation.

After both the prosecution and defense had rested their cases, the government dropped several charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs. The kidnapping charge, which alleged that Combs had forcibly detained former employee Capricorn Clark during a lie detector test, was dismissed. The prosecution struggled to present compelling evidence to support this claim, and witness testimony lacked consistency, making it clear that the charge could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Similarly, the arson charge, which accused Combs of orchestrating the firebombing of Kid Cudi’s car as an act of revenge, was dropped. The prosecution could not establish a clear li...

Count 5 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs charges him with transporting Victim 2, referred to as "Jane," and male commercial sex workers across state lines with the intent to engage in prostitution between 2021 and 2024. Prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated and facilitated "freak-off" events—drug-fueled sexual encounters involving male escorts—which he directed, filmed, and used to exert control over Jane. These events reportedly took place in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The prosecution's claim hinges on the idea that Jane was not participating in these acts voluntarily but was instead coerced or manipulated into doin...

On June 24, 2025, Sean “Diddy” Combs' defense team rested its case in his ongoing federal trial, marking a pivotal moment in the proceedings. After weeks of testimony from the prosecution, Diddy’s legal team decided against calling any witnesses to counter the government's allegations. This strategic move led many to speculate about the strength of the prosecution's case and whether the defense felt it had sufficiently dismantled the evidence presented. The decision not to present a defense case, especially in a high-profile RICO trial, was a bold one, signaling that the defense believed the prosecution had not met the burden of proof...

Count 4 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs charges him with transporting Victim 1, identified as Cassie Ventura, across state lines with the intent to engage her in prostitution.

These events reportedly took place in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The prosecution argues that Combs used his influence and resources to transport Ventura and other women to these events, where they were coerced into participating in commercial sex...

Count 3 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs, which charges him with sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion in relation to Victim 2, referred to as "Jane" Doe, accuses him of orchestrating and benefiting from the exploitation of this victim.

According to Kohberger, he was a skilled fish filet maestro and was also a proficient boxer and debate champion. It would seem that he was not truthful here however, considering that he only worked at the camp for three weeks and was never taught how to filet fish there.
