Diddy’s Desperate Appeal: The Predator Who Can’t Stop Controlling
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?

Kada Scott’s Death & DA Larry Krasner’s Pattern of Protecting Violent Offenders
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?

We Could Have Done Better’, DA Krassner’s Empty Words After Kada Scott’s Death
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?

Attorney Eric Faddis Breaks Down Kada Scott’s Murder & DA Larry Krasner Failures
When 23-year-old Kada Scott vanished after her shift at a Philadelphia nursing home, her family knew something was wrong. Two weeks later, her body was found behind an abandoned school. The man charged with her kidnapping, Keon King, had already been arrested months earlier for stalking and strangling another woman — a case with video evidence that District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office dropped. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to break down the failures step by step: • Why that earlier case never made it to trial. • What tools prosecutors ignored. • How bail reform and internal culture turned public safety into a gamble. • And what “We could have done better” really means inside a DA’s office. From one preventable death to a pattern of repeat-offender releases, this conversation exposes the difference between justice reform — and simply failing to prosecute. 👉 Subscribe for more Hidden Killers investigations into systemic accountability and institutional breakdowns. #KadaScott #LarryKrasner #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #PhiladelphiaCrime #JusticeForKada #KeonKing #DistrictAttorney #TrueCrime #SystemFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kohberger’s Final Power Play: Hijacking His Own Lawyers to Stay Relevant
There’s something broken in the system — and Bryan Kohberger knows exactly how to exploit it. You’d think that after pleading guilty and being sentenced to four consecutive life terms for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this case would finally be over. But it’s not. Kohberger is still managing to pull the strings from inside his cell — not through violence this time, but through bureaucracy. In October, his defense team filed a motion arguing that he shouldn’t have to pay restitution to the victims’ families because they received money from GoFundMe. The move outraged the public — but here’s the hidden truth: his attorneys probably had no choice. Under Idaho law, court-appointed attorneys like Anne Taylor and her team can’t simply walk away once a case is “over.” They’re bound by the rules of criminal procedure to continue representing their client until the court formally releases them. And the court almost never does — especially in a case this complex and public. That means every time Kohberger wants to file another motion — no matter how manipulative or hollow it may seem — his attorneys have to sign it. They can advise him not to, but if he insists, and it’s not illegal or frivolous, they’re obligated to comply. So what we’re seeing isn’t greed. It’s a broken system that traps everyone: lawyers forced to act as mouthpieces for a killer, taxpayers forced to keep footing the bill, and families forced to relive the case every time his name shows up on a docket. This episode of Hidden Killers exposes how a justice system built to guarantee fairness ends up being hijacked by the very people it’s supposed to contain — and how Bryan Kohberger, even behind bars, is still finding ways to exert control. Because sometimes, evil doesn’t end when the sentence is handed down. It just changes form. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Happened To Kada Scott, Inside DA Larry Krasner’s Pattern of Failure
Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner promised reform. Instead, he’s delivered a revolving door for violent offenders. From Officer James O’Connor IV to Kada Scott, lives keep ending the same way — with suspects his office already had, and already let go. In this explosive interview, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to expose how ideology, ego, and neglect turned Philadelphia into a test lab for failed justice: • Why Krasner’s violent-crime conviction rate collapsed to 33%. • How dropped gun and assault cases fueled record homicides. • What internal culture protects prosecutors but abandons victims. • And whether this pattern amounts to prosecutorial malpractice. Krasner calls it progress. Philadelphia calls it survival. This is Hidden Killers — where reform meets reality, and the truth doesn’t blink. #LarryKrasner #KadaScott #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #PhiladelphiaCrime #DistrictAttorney #SystemicFailure #JusticeReform #KeonKing #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Keith Raniere’s Final Act: How the NXIVM Cult Leader Is Still Trying to Manipulate the System
He called himself “Vanguard.” He branded women as his property, built a corporate-cult empire around control, and promised enlightenment while destroying lives. Now—five years and one hundred and twenty years into his prison sentence—Keith Raniere still believes he’s the smartest man in the room. In this episode, we dive into Raniere’s latest desperate attempt to overturn his NXIVM conviction, a last-ditch appeal built on claims that the FBI falsified digital evidence. His lawyers say key metadata on photos was altered. Judges say it’s nonsense. And what’s really on trial now isn’t the evidence—it’s Raniere’s own ego. We break down how a man who once convinced Ivy-League grads and Hollywood actresses to worship him has spent the last decade trying to convince anyone who’ll listen that he’s the victim. You’ll hear how NXIVM started as a self-help “success program,” morphed into a secret society of obedience and branding, and ended with Raniere shackled in federal prison still proclaiming innocence. The court has heard it all before. The victims have lived through enough. And the narcissist at the center of it still can’t accept that the spotlight’s gone. This is the final chapter of a cult that mistook cruelty for enlightenment—and of a man who can’t stop performing, even when his audience has left the theater. If you think justice ends when the verdict is read, think again. #KeithRaniere #NXIVM #TrueCrime #CultLeaders #HiddenKillers #Narcissism #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #Justice #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
