Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Part 2 of our deep-dive with former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis. This one is on the charging document itself. First-degree murder with three special circumstances. Continuous sexual abuse of a child. Mutilation of human remains. The death penalty is on the table.
We cover DA Hochman's financial-gain theory and whether it actually fits the statute, Blair Berk's ten-day preliminary hearing push, the significance of a complaint versus an indictment after a grand jury failed to indict, the forty-plus terabytes of discovery Berk says she still has not received, and the newly unsealed autopsy report and what it could do to the entire defense theory.
Eric closes on the language the defense keeps using. Not "he didn't do it," but "he was not the cause of her death." Two separate legal claims. Eric explains exactly what trial theory that language signals and how the prosecution has to adjust for it.
