Did the System Fail? Alex Murdaugh’s Appeal Just Changed Everything

This episode features continuing coverage from inside the civil trial of Abby Zwerner v. Ebony Parker — the case that’s forcing a Virginia courtroom to confront how many warnings were ignored before a teacher was shot by her six-year-old student. Each day’s proceedings bring new testimony, evidence, and revelations about what happened inside Richneck Elementary School on January 6, 2023 — and the administrative failures that followed. You’ll hear unfiltered courtroom audio, direct from the trial, as attorneys for Abby Zwerner seek $40 million in damages against former assistant principal Ebony Parker, accused of negligence so severe it nearly cost a teacher her life. Hidden Killers brings you the voices, the arguments, and the raw sound of justice in progress — as a jury decides whether silence and inaction inside a public school can rise to the level of legal accountability.

When Joseph DeAngelo — the Golden State Killer — was finally unmasked in 2018, the world saw an old man slumped in a wheelchair. But according to Sacramento DA Thien Ho, it was all an act. In this exclusive conversation, Tony Brueski goes behind the headlines with Ho, the man who stood across the courtroom from one of America’s most elusive serial predators. From the whispered “crazy act” DeAngelo tried to pull in the interrogation room to the frail performance he staged in court, Ho explains how the prosecution saw through every layer of manipulation. But this story isn’t about glorifying a killer — it’s about the survivors. Ho shares how he centered their voices, the emotional weight of their impact statements, and the unforgettable moment one woman told DeAngelo, “I’m not afraid of you anymore.” The People vs. The Golden State Killer gives us the first insider look at the battle between truth and illusion — and how one prosecutor helped make history by exposing the evil hiding behind a mask of normalcy. #GoldenStateKiller #ThienHo #JosephDeAngelo #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #Justice #Prosecution #DNAEvidence #EastAreaRapist #CrimeStories Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Justice — delayed, but finally delivered. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we cover the stunning verdict in the case of Abby Zwerner, the Virginia first-grade teacher who was shot by her six-year-old student inside Richneck Elementary School. After nearly two years, a jury has ruled that former assistant principal Ebony Parker is liable for ignoring repeated warnings that the child had a gun — awarding $10 million in damages to Zwerner. This isn’t just a lawsuit — it’s an indictment of an entire system that looked the other way. Teachers came forward that morning. They told Parker the student had a weapon in his backpack. They begged her to act. But she didn’t. Hours later, Abby stood at the front of her classroom — teaching, protecting, doing her job — when that six-year-old pulled the trigger. The bullet nearly killed her. Multiple surgeries later, she’s still living with nerve damage, pain, and trauma that will never fully fade. But tonight’s verdict is more than compensation — it’s a warning shot to every school district in America: when staff ignore danger, when leadership protects its image instead of its people, the courtroom will hold you accountable. Tony Brueski breaks down the key testimony, courtroom reactions, and what this landmark decision means for educators, parents, and every student walking into class tomorrow. The Abby Zwerner verdict isn’t just about one assistant principal — it’s about a national failure to take threats seriously until it’s too late. Watch as Tony walks through: – How multiple teachers sounded the alarm — and were ignored – Why the jury sided with Zwerner and what evidence swayed them – The emotional impact of her testimony and survival – What comes next for Parker’s pending criminal charges This is the story of one teacher’s fight for justice — and the system’s long-overdue reckoning. #AbbyZwerner #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TeacherShooting #EbonyParker #SchoolSafety #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForAbby #VirginiaTrial #HiddenKillersLive #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
