Kada Scott’s Death & DA Larry Krasner’s Pattern of Protecting Violent Offenders-WEEK IN REVIEW

Charity Powell-Beallis spent nine months fighting for her life in the Arkansas court system. She reported that her husband strangled her in front of their children. She filed for divorce. She sought full custody. She told a state senator she feared for her life. She posted on Facebook that the system was protecting her abuser while silencing her as the victim. One day after a judge reportedly awarded joint custody to her estranged husband — a doctor with a domestic violence conviction — Charity and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death in their home. When her father called the court the day the bodies were discovered, Judge Shannon Blatt says he told a clerk she "might as well have pulled the trigger herself." The judge filed a police report against him. Randy Powell says he only called to ask if he could see his grandchildren's bodies. This video examines the custody ruling, the documented warning signs the court had access to, and the research showing that strangulation is the number one predictor of domestic violence homicide — increasing a woman's risk of being killed by 750 percent. We also look at the exposed facts that show family courts exposed a pattern where courts reject abuse allegations and award custody to abusive fathers at alarming rates. The investigation into the deaths is ongoing. No suspect has been named. No arrests have been made. We reached out to Judge Blatt's chambers for comment and have not received a response.

Brian Walshe has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana Walshe, who disappeared on New Year's Day 2023. After just six hours of deliberation, a Norfolk County jury found the 50-year-old Cohasset man guilty of premeditated murder — making this one of the rare cases where a first-degree murder conviction was secured without the victim's body ever being recovered. Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old mother of three who worked as a real estate manager in Washington D.C., was last seen alive in the early morning hours of January 1, 2023, after a New Year's Eve celebration at the family home.  Prosecutors presented devastating digital evidence including Google searches from Brian's devices for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and "how long for someone to be missing to inherit." Surveillance footage showed Walshe purchasing a hacksaw, Tyvek suit, and cleaning supplies at Lowe's on New Year's Day. Investigators recovered blood-stained items from dumpsters including Ana's Hunter boots, pieces of carpet with her DNA, and a hacksaw that tested positive for her blood. The defense argued Ana died suddenly and unexpectedly, sending Brian into a panic — but called zero witnesses and Walshe himself declined to testify. Prosecutors pointed to a $2.7 million life insurance policy, a deteriorating marriage, and Ana's affair with a D.C. realtor as motive.  Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday where Walshe faces mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ana's sister released a statement saying simply: "Justice has been served."  #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheVerdict #GuiltyVerdict #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #JusticeForAna #FirstDegreeMurder #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning broke records with nearly 22 million viewers in its first week. But according to executive producer 50 Cent, what aired was just the beginning. In a revealing interview on The Sherri Show, 50 confirmed he's sitting on 140 hours of unreleased footage — and he's already hinting it might end up on YouTube. So what didn't make the cut? For starters, the explosive detail that Diddy fathered a child with Sarah Chapman, a woman who previously dated Tupac Shakur in 1995. That footage was filmed, discussed, and then left on the editing room floor. 50 Cent says it's part of a pattern — Diddy allegedly pursuing women connected to his rivals. Then there's the question everyone's asking: how did Netflix get that behind-the-scenes footage of Diddy in the days before his arrest? According to Diddy's own documentarian, the material was handed over by a fill-in freelancer — someone brought in for just three days while the main cameraman was out of state. Diddy's team called it stolen. Netflix says it was legally obtained. The filmmaker who leaked it hasn't been publicly identified. The documentary also sidestepped several major controversies: the death of Kim Porter, whose children have repeatedly asked the public to stop spreading conspiracy theories; the alleged firebombing of Kid Cudi's car after he briefly dated Cassie; and civil lawsuits naming Diddy's sons Justin and King in separate sexual assault allegations. None of it made the final cut. Now, with 50 Cent threatening to release more footage directly online, the story is far from over. This video breaks down the loose ends, the unreleased material, and what could be coming next in the most public takedown in hip-hop history. #Diddy #50Cent #SeanCombsTheReckoning #Netflix #DiddyDocumentary #Tupac #SarahChapman #BadBoy #CrimeWeekly #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe murder trial has reached its final stage. A jury of six men and six women is now deliberating whether the Massachusetts father of three is guilty of murdering and dismembering his wife Ana Walshe on New Year's Day 2023. Closing arguments revealed two starkly different narratives.  Prosecutor Anne Yas pointed directly at Walshe and declared Ana is dead because he murdered her, describing him as cool and calculated as he bought hacksaws and cleaning supplies with cash while searching online for how to dispose of a body. The defense countered that Walshe found his wife dead in bed from sudden unexplained causes and panicked, making terrible decisions but never planning to harm the woman he loved.  The jury has three options on their verdict slip: not guilty, first-degree murder which carries life without parole, or second-degree murder which would make Walshe eligible for parole after 15 to 25 years. During deliberations the jury asked to see exhibit 97, a photograph of Ana lying on a rug in her living room. That same rug was later found cut into pieces in a dumpster, soaked in her blood, with a fragment of her necklace embedded in the fibers.  Ana Walshe's body has never been recovered. Brian Walshe has already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and misleading police, though the jury was not told about those admissions. Whatever verdict comes back, it won't answer the question haunting this case: what actually happened in that Cohasset home between the champagne toast at midnight and the first Google search at 4:52 a.m. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #JuryDeliberation #CohassetMurder #ClosingArguments #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeForAna Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She was inside the Murdaugh family's world for over fifteen years. She cleaned their homes, ran their errands, and became part of their inner circle. And on June 7th, 2021, she was one of the last people to see Alex Murdaugh before his wife Maggie and son Paul were shot to death at the family's Moselle property. Now, in this exclusive full-length interview, Blanca Simpson holds nothing back. She reveals who Maggie and Paul really were behind closed doors — not the wealthy elites the media portrayed, but a down-to-earth mother and a son who used to hide Blanca's cleaning supplies just to make her laugh. She shares what Maggie confided to her weeks before the murders — a thirty million dollar lawsuit and a husband who kept her in the dark. And she walks us through the morning of June 7th, when she fixed Alex's collar as he rushed out the door for the last time. But that's just the beginning. Blanca describes arriving at the Moselle house twelve hours after the murders. The pajamas laid out wrong. The wedding ring under Maggie's car seat. The beach towel that proved Alex was in the laundry room. And the moment Alex came to her, pacing and disheveled, trying to coach her on what shirt he was wearing. She also reveals what happened when she tried to help SLED investigators — and how they told her she was "obsessing" and needed professional help. When I ask her directly if she believes Alex Murdaugh pulled the trigger, she doesn't hesitate: "I do. I do." This is the complete, uncut interview — nearly two hours with the woman who saw everything from the inside. Blanca Simpson's book is available now — link below. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughMurders #BlancaSimpson #MurdaughTrial #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #MurdaughHousekeeper #TrueCrime #MurdaughFamily #FullInterview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The 18-page probable cause affidavit in the Rebecca Park murder case has been released, revealing disturbing new details about the 22-year-old pregnant woman's final moments. According to court documents, Cortney Bartholomew allegedly admitted to investigators that she cut her own daughter's baby out while Rebecca was still conscious, while her husband Bradly held a knife to Rebecca's throat. Both defendants are now pointing fingers at each other while simultaneously admitting they were present during the killing. The affidavit details 13 stab wounds, shifting stories, deleted phone data, and allegations that the baby's body was placed in a lunch cooler and thrown in a residential trash bin.  Court documents also reveal that Cortney allegedly told investigators Bradly — her husband and Rebecca's stepfather — was the biological father of the unborn child. Bradly Bartholomew is a registered sex offender with multiple convictions. Rebecca leaves behind two sons, ages 2 and 3, now in the care of her adoptive mother. Probable cause hearings have been postponed until January. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. #RebeccaPark #TrueCrime #Michigan #WexfordCounty #CriminalJustice #MurderCase #CourtDocuments #BreakingNews #JusticeForRebecca #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning even aired, Diddy’s legal team fired off a cease-and-desist letter. They called the documentary a “shameful hit piece,” claimed the footage was “stolen,” and floated the idea of a billion-dollar lawsuit. And yet… nothing. No lawsuit. No emergency injunction. No filings. So what is actually happening here? In this segment, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the legal truth behind Diddy’s threats. We examine what it would take for Diddy to win a copyright claim over footage filmed by his own videographer — especially when some reports say there were no formal contracts at all. Eric explains how ownership works, how intellectual property law overlaps with employment agreements, and why “stolen footage” is much harder to prove than people realize. We then dig into defamation. Diddy is a public figure — which means the “actual malice” standard applies. Eric walks us through how extraordinarily difficult it is for celebrities to win defamation cases, especially when a documentary includes on-camera statements from people like Kirk Burrowes rather than direct factual claims made by Netflix. We also discuss Diddy’s active lawsuit against NBCUniversal, how his own sentencing-day statements may have severely weakened his claims, and whether 50 Cent — a vocal adversary — exposes himself to additional liability as an executive producer. Finally, we break down how New York’s anti-SLAPP laws could turn the tables entirely, forcing Diddy to pay Netflix’s legal fees if a defamation claim is deemed retaliatory. This is where legal threats meet actual law — and those two worlds rarely look the same. #DiddyCase #NetflixDoc #EricFaddis #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #SeanCombs #DefamationLaw #TrueCrimePodcast #50Cent Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
