Donna Adelson Trial: Sgt. Chris Corbitt Unpacks Cell-Phone Evidence to Link to Murder Plot Step inside the courtroom with this riveting clip from the Trial of Donna Adelson, where Tallahassee Police Sergeant Chris Corbitt, supervisor of the Technical Operations Unit, takes the stand in front of the jury—and methodically breaks down critical cell phone evidence tied to the alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Corbitt, a seasoned digital forensics expert, presents a clear, step-by-step walk-through of how investigators extracted call logs, texts, and cell-site location data from Donna Adelson’s and related phones. With precision, he lays the groundwork for understanding how digital footprints can connect one person to another—and possibly to orchestrating deadly events. His expertise frames the cell phone not as a personal item, but as a piece of evidence that can either link someone to a crime or raise reasonable doubt. Why this matters? The prosecution leans heavily on communications patterns and synced login details to show that Donna Adelson could have coordinated or supported plans related to Dan Markel’s tragic death. Corbitt’s testimony gives jurors a tangible way to visualize that electronic evidence—whether it firmly holds up or becomes a pivot point for the defense to challenge. In this raw courtroom footage, you'll hear Corbitt’s authoritative explanations of how data was collected, preserved, and interpreted. It’s a high-stakes moment that bridges digital forensics and courtroom drama, placing real-time technical clarity at the heart of a sensational true-crime narrative. Watch, listen closely, and draw your own conclusions—because in today’s world, your phone might just be your most revealing alibi—or your greatest liability. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #ChrisCorbitt #DigitalForensics #CellPhoneEvidence #TrueCrime #CourtroomTestimony #DanMarkelCase #MurderForHire #TrialCoverage #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Handwriting Analyst Kate Butler Identifies “The Script” as Donna’s In this gripping installment of the Donna Adelson Trial, forensic document examiner Kate Butler, a senior crime laboratory analyst with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), takes center stage—bringing exceptional expertise to the stand as she compares handwriting samples connected to the case. Her match? She identified the handwriting in the infamous “script” and a day planner as belonging to Donna Adelson with the highest level of confidence. This isn’t just a technicality—this finding strikes at the core of the prosecution’s argument and has major implications for how the jury perceives Donna’s actions and intentions behind the scenes. In this raw courtroom clip, viewers will hear Kate Butler describe her methodology, show how handwriting idiosyncrasies line up, and explain why her analysis matters: What was compared and why it’s relevant: The “Day Planner,” where Dan Markel’s car info was noted, and “The Script,” allegedly written by Donna for an inmate to recite, were both compared to known samples of Donna’s handwriting. Why this matters: For the prosecution, Butler’s confident identification strengthens their case that Donna may have been orchestrating the narrative—even in jail. For the defense, this might be a point of heavy cross-examination, perhaps highlighting margin for error or context of what was written and why. Viewer takeaway: A rare, behind-the-scenes look at the forensic scrutiny behind the handwritten evidence—an essential piece of the puzzle in this true-crime courtroom drama. Turn on captions, take notes, and watch closely—because handwriting isn’t just about pen and paper. It's about intent, influence, and showing the jury how much—or how little—control Donna had over the story being presented in court.  #DonnaAdelsonTrial #HandwritingAnalysis #KateButler #TrueCrime #CourtroomEvidence #ForensicDocumentExaminer #DanMarkelCase #MurderForHire #TrialCoverage #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Friend Testifies Donna Was “Hysterical” After Dan Markel’s Murder In the Trial of Donna Adelson, the defense called their very first witness to the stand: longtime family friend Anne Elizabeth Cunningham. With roots tracing back to her friendship with Donna and Harvey Adelson since 2009, Cunningham painted a picture of Donna not as a criminal mastermind, but as a distraught mother and grandmother in shock after Dan Markel’s murder. Cunningham testified that Donna was “quite hysterical” in the aftermath of Markel’s killing. Her words aimed to humanize Donna, showing her in a state of emotional unraveling rather than cold calculation. For jurors, this testimony matters because it’s the first real glimpse into how the defense plans to counter the prosecution’s theory that Donna orchestrated the murder-for-hire plot. By emphasizing Donna’s grief and confusion, the defense is trying to suggest she was blindsided by the events just like everyone else. But there’s more here than just emotion. Every word is carefully chosen to influence perception. Cunningham’s testimony isn’t just about character—it’s about planting seeds of doubt in jurors’ minds. Was Donna truly the matriarch pulling strings, or was she just another family member swept up in tragedy? This clip captures Cunningham’s full testimony, a pivotal moment marking the official start of the defense case in one of Florida’s most closely watched trials. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #CourtroomTestimony #MurderForHire #AdelsonFamily #DefenseWitness #TrialCoverage #JusticeForDan #LegalDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson’s Kids Just DESTROYED Her in Court — Full Breakdown It was the moment Donna Adelson feared most: her own children stepping into the courtroom and turning the spotlight directly on her. Robert and Wendy Adelson both testified — and together, they may have just delivered the most devastating blow to their mother’s defense. Robert’s words were blunt and powerful. He described Donna as controlling, manipulative, the one who dictated family life. Wendy’s testimony was more complicated — evasive, cautious, full of “I don’t remembers.” Two siblings, two approaches, but both ultimately painted a picture of a mother whose influence stretched too far. In this full expert breakdown, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains the psychology behind the Adelson family fracture: why Robert broke free, why Wendy clings to loyalty, and why jurors may see both paths as damning for Donna. This isn’t just a trial about conspiracy. It’s the collapse of a family dynasty playing out in open court — and for Donna Adelson, her own children may be the witnesses that end it all. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #RobertAdelson #WendyAdelson #AdelsonTrial #TrueCrime #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson’s Family Turns: Inside the Explosive Testimony from Her Own Children In this gripping breakdown, we dive into the raw courtroom moments that could define the fate of Donna Adelson—testimony not from prosecutors or hired experts, but from her own children. Defense Attorney and Former Prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski to dissect the emotionally charged statements from Robert and Wendy Adelson, revealing a family dynamic that’s anything but united. Robert came across as blunt, clinical, and disturbingly honest about his mother’s controlling nature, while Wendy played the “I don’t remember” card with an Olympic level of consistency. What does it mean when your own children don’t defend you—or worse, distance themselves entirely? Eric breaks down how jurors digest this kind of testimony, and whether these cracks in the family’s public image translate into hard evidence in court. Is it character assassination… or a clear window into Donna’s true influence? This episode pulls apart the psychology, strategy, and possible consequences of this damaging testimony—and what it could mean as the trial heads into even darker territory.

My TA Looks Like a Murderer" Kohberger Student NAILED IT, BEFORE Crimes! Before his arrest, before the trial, before the name Bryan Kohberger became infamous, there were warning signs. His time as a teaching assistant at Washington State was riddled with complaints — thirteen formal grievances in just three months. Students said he belittled them, intimidated them, harassed them. One wrote flat out: “my TA looks like a murderer.” Professors saw it too, warning colleagues that if he graduated, he’d end up committing serious crimes. In this segment, Tony Brueski and Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the chilling preview of who Kohberger really was. Professor Snyder described the “terrier routine,” where Kohberger would follow him endlessly, desperate to dominate even mundane interactions. Students and faculty alike called out the danger — but the machine of academia kept moving until it was too late. Then there are the loose ends in the evidence: presumptive blood found on a blanket and coat months after the fact, documentation gaps that raise eyebrows. These don’t undo the mountain of evidence, but they raise questions about thoroughness. Were investigators so focused on the big picture that they missed small but critical details? This conversation forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: institutions often fail to act on red flags until tragedy makes them undeniable. Academia wrote him off as “odd.” Law enforcement may have left threads dangling. The result? Four innocent lives cut short.

Kohberger Dated Me: Three Disturbing Romantic Encounters Bryan Kohberger What happens when a first date turns into a chilling brush with a killer in waiting? Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, he was just another guy on Tinder. But now, women across the country are speaking out—sharing eerie, unsettling encounters they had with him long before anyone knew his name. In this exclusive true crime deep dive, we explore the verified accounts of women who matched with Bryan Kohberger, went on dates with him, or interacted with him in private settings—and walked away shaken. From the Tinder match who was asked about the “worst way to die,” to a club dancer who was told he “wanted to kill people,” to the nursing student who received a message about her “birthing hips”—these encounters weren’t just weird. They were warnings. The women in these stories didn’t press charges. There was no physical violence. But every one of them remembers the moment they realized something was deeply wrong. And in the aftermath of Kohberger’s arrest, those memories have taken on a terrifying new weight. This episode pulls together every known report, quote, and first-person account involving Kohberger’s disturbing behavior around women—especially in dating or flirtation contexts. No speculation. No filler. Just the facts—and the psychological profile they build. These women weren’t victims in the legal sense. But they were his first targets. Before he allegedly stalked his victims in Moscow. Before the knife. Before the night. He was already rehearsing.
