  • Kirks Political Assassination & Poison Murder Two High-Stakes Cases, One Legal Breakdown-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 12 2025
    A rooftop sniper and a poisoned cocktail. One case headed for the death penalty. Another hanging by a thread.

    In this special longform segment, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us for a double-case breakdown: the capital murder prosecution of Tyler James Robinson for the alleged politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk—and the bombshell developments in the Kouri Richins case, where the state’s star witness has just recanted.

    In the Robinson case, we explore how a note, a long gun, and alleged political targeting created one of the most watched capital “Political Assassination & Poison Plot Unraveling – Eric Faddis Breaks Down the Two Biggest Criminal Cases in America”

    Two of the most high-stakes criminal cases in America are barreling toward trial—and both could implode for very different reasons.

    First, there’s Tyler James Robinson, accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk in a public, calculated ambush. A rooftop. A rifle. A note. A political-enhancement charge. And now, the state is seeking the death penalty. Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and current defense attorney, walks us through what happens when prosecutors go all-in on a capital case—from how the defense gears up, to the legal impact of charging political motivation, to the suppression wars coming around DNA, digital evidence, and jury selection. This is a legal war machine, slow by design and brutal in execution. We break it down from both sides.

    Then, we turn to the latest twist in the Kouri Richins case—where the state’s theory of how she got the fentanyl that allegedly killed her husband just took a major hit. The prosecution’s key witness, Robert Crozier, has now recanted—saying he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper they claim passed it to Kouri. With no recovered drugs, a five-times-lethal tox report, and 11 terabytes of jumbled discovery, Faddis breaks down whether this case still has legs—or if it’s spiraling into Brady violation territory. What happens when a case built on motive and suspicion suddenly loses its foundation?

    From a possible death sentence to a crumbling narrative, this episode dives deep into what happens when courtroom drama meets real-world stakes. Justice isn’t just about guilt or innocence—it’s about what can be proven, what’s admissible, and what survives the gauntlet of American criminal procedure.

    If you want more than headlines—if you want to understand how this system actually works—this conversation is essential viewing.

  • Kouri Richins Murder Case Shaken as Star Witness Recants
    Oct 10 2025
    The prosecution’s narrative in the Kouri Richins murder case is suddenly on shaky ground.

    A bombshell affidavit just dropped: Robert Crozier—once billed as the key to the state’s fentanyl chain theory—now says he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper prosecutors claim passed it to Kouri. That breaks the chain. And when you consider that no fentanyl was ever recovered, and no forensic link directly ties Kouri to the drugs… the state’s case starts to look a whole lot less certain.

    But is it fatal?

    Joining us is former prosecutor and seasoned defense attorney Eric Faddis to break it all down. We dive deep into the implications of this recantation, how it affects the admissibility of testimony from Lauber (the housekeeper), and whether the state can pivot its sourcing theory midstream without torpedoing its credibility. We also look at the 5x lethal dose tox report, the Valentine’s Day sandwich allegation, the “Walk the Dog” jailhouse letter, suppression motions over seized notebooks and phones, and 11 terabytes of dumped discovery that may constitute its own Brady violation.

    This is no longer just about who gave who a pill. It’s about whether the legal system is equipped to handle contradictions, missing evidence, and high public scrutiny without crumbling under the weight of its own complexity.

    Don’t miss this legal autopsy of a case that could still go either way.

  • Kouri Richins Case COLLAPSING? Key Witness Recants Fentanyl Story
    Oct 9 2025
    A major shock just hit the Kouri Richins murder case—and it’s not coming from the defense. It’s coming from the prosecution’s own key witness, who now says he never sold fentanyl to anyone connected to Richins. That single statement might be enough to crack the entire case wide open.

    In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn’t sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state’s carefully constructed narrative.

    The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn’t just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core.

    We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that’s missing its spine.

    Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution’s case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive?

    This one changes everything.

  • The Kouri Richins Case EXPOSED - The Jailhouse Letter and the War Over Narrative
    Aug 7 2025
    The Kouri Richins Case EXPOSED - The Jailhouse Letter and the War Over Narrative

    Description:
    She wrote a grief book for her kids. Then prosecutors say she wrote a jailhouse letter to her mom instructing how to lie on the stand. In this episode, Eric Faddis helps us dissect one of the strangest pieces of evidence in the Kouri Richins case—the infamous “Walk the Dog” letter.

    Was it witness tampering? A poorly executed cover-up? Or, as the defense claims, just a draft of a fictional story? We explore how this single piece of writing could radically shift how jurors interpret Kouri’s credibility—and whether it signals guilt or desperation.

    Faddis brings prosecutorial insight into how this letter fits into a pattern: the narrative of a woman allegedly trying to reframe her husband's death, control public perception, and rewrite reality. We also explore how the court has handled similar “fiction vs. confession” claims in high-profile cases—and what the jury is likely to believe.

    It’s not just about whether she poisoned her husband. It’s about whether she tried to script her innocence in real time—and if the jury will see through it.

  • Is There Enough Solid Evidence To Convict Kouri Richins Of Poisoning Her Husband For Insurance Cash?
    Aug 6 2025
    Is There Enough Solid Evidence To Convict Kouri Richins Of Poisoning Her Husband For Insurance Cash?

    Description:
    It’s the prosecution’s headline claim: Kouri Richins killed her husband to collect a $2 million life insurance payout. But behind that bold narrative lies a big question—does the state have the hard evidence to prove it?

    In this episode, Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, joins Tony Brueski to assess whether the case against Kouri is as airtight as it sounds—or whether it’s built on inference, not forensic certainty. We dig into the alleged failed poisoning attempt on Valentine’s Day, suspicious Google searches, financial fraud, and the toxicology report that confirmed a lethal dose of fentanyl. But even with all that, is it enough?

    Faddis explains what jurors need to see to convict someone of first-degree murder—and how the defense might use the complexity of Kouri’s financial history, the circumstantial timeline, and a lack of eyewitnesses to argue for doubt.

    Could this be another media-hyped trial that loses traction in the courtroom? Or is the digital trail and financial motive enough to seal the deal?

    We break it down step-by-step in one of the most dissected poison cases in recent memory.

  • Could Kouri Richins Walk Free Because Of Her Deceased Dealer?
    Aug 5 2025
    Could Kouri Richins Walk Free Because Of Her Deceased Dealer

    Description:
    The alleged drug dealer is dead. The victim is dead. And now, key parts of the prosecution’s case against Kouri Richins might be collapsing under the weight of missing witnesses.

    In this episode, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explore how the death of the man believed to have supplied the fentanyl used to kill Eric Richins could complicate the path to conviction. Without testimony or cross-examination, and with hearsay limitations blocking some statements from entering court, the prosecution’s narrative faces serious structural risks.

    We break down why this isn't just a technicality—it's a critical gap in the case. Without the dealer, prosecutors can’t directly tie Kouri to the source of the lethal dose. And when you're relying on circumstantial connections, every missing link matters. Eric Faddis explains how the defense will seize this opportunity to frame the case as speculative, thin, and built more on suspicion than solid proof.

    Could the loss of this witness be enough to create reasonable doubt? And could the state’s strongest weapon—its motive narrative—start to look more like a theory than a prosecutable truth?

    The stakes are high. The witnesses are gone. And the question is real: could Kouri Richins walk because the case is fading before it even starts?
