Richard Allen’s Conviction Under Fire — The Evidence That Didn’t Add Up-WEEK IN REVIEW

There’s a line I keep coming back to: “I don’t know anyone who defends predators, other than predators.” Sean “Diddy” Combs just filed his appeal — a desperate attempt to undo the 50-month federal sentence that ended his decades-long illusion of control. Convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting women across state lines for prostitution, Combs isn’t claiming innocence. He’s arguing math. His lawyers say the judge used “acquitted conduct” to calculate the sentence — a technical loophole that might shave a few months off. But this isn’t about law. It’s about ego. The same need to control every narrative, every room, every person who ever said no. For a man who once sold invincibility as a brand, an appeal is just another way to pretend he still holds the power. The odds? Almost zero. Federal courts rarely overturn sentences like his. But while his lawyers argue decimal points and sentencing guidelines, the rest of the world remembers what really matters: the pattern of coercion, violence, and control that no appeal can erase. Some called it ambition. Others called it genius. But history will remember it for what it was — domination dressed as entertainment. Fifty months isn’t redemption. It’s barely acknowledgment. In this episode, we break down what this appeal actually means, what’s really behind it, and why it’s the final act of a man who still believes accountability is optional. Because the truth doesn’t need a new trial. And you can’t appeal your own nature. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DiddyAppeal #PredatorAccountability #JusticeSystem #MannAct #CelebrityCrime #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When 23-year-old Kada Scott vanished after her nursing-home shift, she did everything right. She reported harassment. She said she felt unsafe. Two weeks later, she was found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned Philadelphia school. The man charged with her kidnapping — Keon King — was no stranger to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Earlier this year, King had been arrested for stalking and strangling another woman. There was video evidence. There was opportunity. And yet, District Attorney Larry Krasner’s team dropped the case. Months later, Kada Scott was gone. Krasner admits, “We could have done better.” But that’s not accountability — that’s an obituary for justice. Under Larry Krasner’s leadership, Philadelphia’s conviction rate for violent crimes has plummeted to roughly 33 percent, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Officers call it a “revolving door.” Federal prosecutors have accused his office of leniency that costs lives. And the pattern keeps repeating: In 2019, Officer James O’Connor IV was shot and killed by a suspect whose earlier charges Krasner’s office had dropped. In 2020, U.S. Attorney William McSwain cited ten other cases where defendants given light treatment by Krasner went on to commit new violent crimes. Gun-crime prosecutions have collapsed even as shootings soar. Krasner’s defenders call it “reform.” But when entire neighborhoods live in fear, when families like the Scotts bury loved ones, that’s not reform — that’s failure disguised as progress. This isn’t about politics. It’s about competence, duty, and the lives lost because one office keeps choosing ideology over accountability. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the numbers, the names, and the moral cost of a DA who promised fairness but delivered chaos. Because when justice becomes an experiment, real people become the test subjects — and Philadelphia keeps paying the price. 👉 Subscribe for ongoing coverage of the Kada Scott investigation, and new episodes exposing systemic failures inside America’s justice system. #KadaScott #LarryKrasner #PhiladelphiaCrime #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JusticeForKada #KeonKing #DistrictAttorney #SystemFailure #Accountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DA Larry Krasner says his office “could have done better.” Tell that to Kada Scott’s family. At 23, Kada was building a career caring for others. She reported harassment, she said she felt unsafe — and she was ignored. Two weeks later, she was found in a shallow grave. The suspect? A man Krasner’s office had already released after dropping a violent-kidnapping case caught on camera. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis sits down with Tony Brueski to ask the questions Philadelphia still hasn’t answered: – Why was the prior case abandoned? – Who signed off on letting a known predator walk? – How does a DA admit failure without facing consequence? – And what will it take to make “victim-centered” justice real? This isn’t politics — it’s a family destroyed because leadership mistook ideology for accountability. Watch as Hidden Killers exposes how compassion for criminals became cruelty toward victims. #KadaScott #LarryKrasner #JusticeForKada #HiddenKillers #EricFaddis #TrueCrime #PhiladelphiaDA #VictimsMatter #KeonKing #Accountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There’s something deeply broken in Lonoke County, Arkansas. A 67-year-old man, Michael Fosler, was charged with 43 felony counts involving a thirteen-year-old girl. The bond? $5,000 cash.  Weeks later, he was found in a car with that same child—alive only because her father, Aaron Spencer, intervened. Fosler didn’t survive. Now, instead of asking why a predator was free, the system has turned its full weight on the father who protected his daughter. This episode of Hidden Killers exposes how Judge Barbara Elmore approved the low bond, how Chief Deputy Prosecutor John Huggins chose to keep the case alive, and how a sweeping gag order—later struck down by the Arkansas Supreme Court as a “gross abuse of discretion”—tried to silence everyone asking questions. This isn’t speculation; it’s documented history. The same judge was previously reversed for refusing to recuse herself in another child-abuse case. The same prosecutor could still drop the charges but hasn’t. When courts and prosecutors protect predators and punish protectors, that’s not justice—it’s self-preservation. 👉 We break down the record, the reversals, and the moral collapse behind State v. Spencer.  👉 We ask the question the courtroom won’t: Who is this justice really for? Because I don’t know anyone that protects predators… other than predators.
