McKee's Defense Strategy Revealed — How Diane Menashe Could Attack the Tepe Murder Evidence

McKee's Defense Strategy Revealed — How Diane Menashe Could Attack the Tepe Murder Evidence

The choice of attorney tells you everything about how a case is going to be fought. Michael McKee just hired Diane Menashe—the defense attorney who walked Dr. William Husel out of a Columbus courtroom after fourteen murder charges. Every single count. Not guilty. She called one witness. She also kept cop-killer Quentin Smith off death row. Now she's defending the vascular surgeon accused of murdering Monique Tepe and Dr. Spencer Tepe in their Columbus home on December 30th. McKee pleaded not guilty Friday to four counts of aggravated murder. The evidence police have described is substantial: ballistics allegedly linking a weapon from McKee's property to shell casings at the scene, vehicle tracking showing the 325-mile drive from Columbus to Illinois and back, surveillance footage allegedly showing McKee in the alley behind the Tepe home, a firearm suppressor, and no forced entry. So how does Menashe attack a case that looks this overwhelming? Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down her likely strategy.

The ballistics science that isn't as solid as prosecutors want juries to believe. The murky video identification. The eight-year gap between McKee's divorce and the alleged murders that complicates the premeditation narrative. And the mental health angle that could change everything. Menashe's philosophy is simple: she doesn't put on a defense case. She picks apart the prosecution's evidence piece by piece and lets it collapse under its own weight. That's how she got Husel acquitted on fourteen counts when the evidence seemed insurmountable. McKee isn't fighting for freedom. He's fighting for degrees of punishment. Two children lost their parents that night. The man accused of making them orphans just hired the best defense attorney in Columbus.
