Mega Edition: Judge Preska Explains Her Plan to Unseal Maxwell/Virginia Files (11/13/25)

The Ghislaine Maxwell trial, held in late 2021 in federal court in New York, centered on her alleged role as Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring that preyed on underage girls for over a decade. Prosecutors accused Maxwell of grooming minors, gaining their trust, and then facilitating or participating in their abuse at the hands of Epstein between 1994 and 2004. The government’s case included testimony from four women, some of whom described in painful detail how Maxwell recruited them as teenagers under the guise of mentorship or financial assistance, only to manipulate them into sexual encounters with Epstein. Flight logs, photographs, and household staff testimony were used to place Maxwell at various Epstein properties and show her long-standing involvement in his lifestyle and operations.Maxwell’s defense team attempted to cast her as a scapegoat, arguing that she was being punished for Epstein’s crimes following his 2019 death in federal custody. They challenged the credibility of the accusers, questioned their motives, and pointed to the time gaps between the alleged crimes and the trial. Ultimately, the jury found Maxwell guilty on five of six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, and not guilty on one count of enticing a minor to travel for illegal sex acts. The conviction marked a rare moment of accountability in a case that had long been plagued by cover-ups, prosecutorial failures, and elite protection. It also opened the door to further scrutiny of Epstein’s network, although many key figures remain untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jury selection in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial was a lengthy and complex process, reflecting both the gravity of the charges and the high-profile nature of the case. Prospective jurors were carefully vetted over several weeks, beginning with a large pool that was gradually narrowed down. The court asked detailed questions about potential jurors’ knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell, and the extensive media coverage surrounding them. Judges and attorneys probed deeply into biases, media exposure, and personal experiences with sexual abuse or law enforcement to ensure impartiality. This step was crucial, given that Epstein’s notoriety had saturated public awareness and risked tainting the jury pool.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

He was known for his brutality and lack of remorse. Hilton is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.Gary Michael Hilton's criminal activities became more widely known after his arrest in 2007 for the murder of Cheryl Dunlap, but evidence suggests he may have been involved in other killings prior to that. Born in 1946, Hilton had a troubled past and a history of run-ins with the law, including charges for theft and assault.His most notorious crime occurred in December 2007 when he abducted Cheryl Dunlap, a registered nurse and Sunday school teacher, from a hiking trail in Florida's Apalachicola National Forest. Dunlap's body was found decapitated over a month later. The brutality of the crime shocked the community and drew widespread media attention.During the investigation into Dunlap's murder, authorities discovered that Hilton had been living a transient lifestyle, often camping in national forests and preying on unsuspecting hikers and campers. This revelation led to speculation that he may have been responsible for other unsolved disappearances and murders in similar areas across several states.In 2008, Hilton was also linked to the murders of John and Irene Bryant, an elderly couple who disappeared while hiking in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest. Their bodies were later found, and Hilton was convicted of their murders as well.Hilton's methods were often brutal and opportunistic. He would target individuals who were alone in remote areas, using his knowledge of the wilderness to evade capture. After his arrest, Hilton showed little remorse for his crimes and was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole as well as getting the death penalty for his crimes in Florida.  to contact me:bobbycapucci!@protonmail.comsource:hilton.transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims’ skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
