Inside the Conspiracy Storm After Charlie Kirk’s Death With Ret FBI Chief: Sorting Fact From Fiction

Sheriff Stines BREAKING POINT: Murder of Judge Mullins EXPLAINED On September 19th, 2024, Whitesburg, Kentucky was rocked by a killing that stunned the country. Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines shot and killed his longtime friend, Judge Kevin Mullins, inside Mullins’ own chambers — just minutes after the two had lunch together. The entire murder was caught on courthouse surveillance. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze one of the strangest crimes in recent memory: a sheriff killing a judge on camera. Was Sheriff Stines insane, or was he pushed to the breaking point by mounting pressure? Just three days before the killing, Stines sat for a deposition in a civil case tied to corruption and misconduct in his office. Was this murder about protecting himself, silencing secrets, or exposing a system that was already collapsing? Bodycam footage shows Stines muttering paranoid lines like “you’re going to kill me” after his arrest — yet he surrendered calmly, without resistance. Was this paranoia real, or a legal strategy? And what does it mean when an officer of the law commits violence in the most incriminating way possible — on camera, in the seat of justice itself? Join us as we break down the shocking murder of Judge Kevin Mullins, Sheriff Shawn Stines’ bizarre behavior, and what it reveals about power, paranoia, and corruption. #SheriffStines #JudgeMullins #MurderExposed #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CourthouseKilling #InsanityDefense #Whitesburg #Corruption #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Clariza Spoltore Testifies on Dental Office Payments and Family Finances The Trial of Donna Adelson took a turn into the world of the Adelson family’s dental practice when Clariza Spoltore—a longtime dental assistant who worked for Dr. Harvey Adelson for forty years—took the stand. Her testimony gave jurors an insider’s view of the Adelson Institute, the family-run office where both Harvey and Charlie Adelson worked, and where financial dealings may have overlapped with the murder-for-hire plot against Dan Markel. Spoltore testified that throughout her decades of service, she never saw Katherine Magbanua—the woman prosecutors say acted as the go-between in the murder plot—working in the office. Yet, Magbanua appeared to receive payments tied to the practice, raising serious red flags. Spoltore also explained that only Donna and Dr. Harvey Adelson had access to certain records, underscoring the level of control they maintained over finances and administration. On cross-examination, the defense pressed Spoltore on whether she had ever heard Donna speak poorly of Dan Markel. She said no—she had never personally witnessed Donna express hostility toward her former son-in-law. But prosecutors argue the real issue wasn’t casual remarks, it was the money trail and the financial records Donna could manage behind closed doors. Why does this matter? Because Spoltore’s words help connect the dots between the Adelsons’ professional lives and the conspiracy prosecutors allege Donna orchestrated. If Magbanua was being paid without working, those payments could represent hidden compensation for her role in the plot. With her credibility as a loyal employee of four decades, Spoltore’s testimony added weight to the prosecution’s theory that the family’s dental business wasn’t just about dentistry—it was also a financial vehicle for covering up a murder-for-hire scheme. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #ClarizaSpoltore #AdelsonInstitute #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #CourtroomDrama

Donna Adelson Trial: Forensic Accountant Mary Hull Tracks the Money In the afternoon session, numbers took center stage as forensic accountant Mary Hull delivered detailed financial testimony in the Trial of Donna Adelson. Hull broke down financial patterns tied to convicted hitmen Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia, while also analyzing transactions linked to Katherine Magbanua. Her findings showed unusual spending behavior and suspicious money flows that prosecutors argue were part of the conspiracy’s financial web. Hull’s testimony was powerful because, unlike memory or hearsay, numbers leave a paper trail. She explained how the Adelson family’s money may have been used not just for lifestyle support, but as leverage—quietly funding and binding co-conspirators to keep the plot intact. For the jurors, Hull’s testimony reminded them that emotional outbursts and family drama make headlines, but money makes cases. If her numbers align with call records, surveillance, and personal testimony, the prosecution’s case may be bolstered beyond reasonable doubt. Hull’s charts, spreadsheets, and meticulous financial tracking might have been some of the most compelling evidence presented yet. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #MaryHull #ForensicAccounting #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #AdelsonFamily #FinancialEvidence #CourtroomDrama #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's Bad Week Part 3 - Family Support Vanishes & Deadly Threats Loom By Part Three of Bryan Kohberger’s nightmare week in prison, the stakes rise even higher. The harassment hasn’t stopped—it’s escalated. Inmates continue taunting him with vulgar, threatening language, and experts warn that in an environment like J-Block, those words can quickly turn into violence. “Deadly threats loom” isn’t just a headline—it’s a reality for someone as hated and high-profile as Kohberger. But perhaps the most devastating blow is happening outside the prison walls: the slow vanishing of family support. Once surrounded by parents and relatives willing to defend or stand by him, Kohberger is now increasingly isolated. With family ties weakening, the protective buffer he may have counted on is slipping away. In maximum security, where survival depends not just on guards but on reputation, that loss of support leaves him even more vulnerable. Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski break down what this means psychologically and practically. For someone like Kohberger—who relied on his mother as an emotional anchor throughout his life—the erosion of family connection cuts deeper than he likely ever imagined. Combined with constant inmate harassment and the cold dismissal of prison officials, it paints a picture of a man spiraling into complete powerlessness. This segment explores the reality of Kohberger’s future behind bars: alone, mocked, threatened, and no longer buoyed by the safety net of family. He thought notoriety would protect him. Instead, it’s painting a target on his back. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonThreats #HiddenKillers #Justice #RobinDreeke #PrisonNews #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
