    Jury Tampering or Just Tactless: Ann Taylor's Kohberger Strategy Unveiled

    Jury Tampering or Just Tactless: Ann Taylor's Kohberger Strategy Unveiled

    In an episode that seems more like a comedy of errors than a serious legal strategy discussion, Tony Brueski's "Hidden Killers" dives into the controversial and arguably reckless approach taken by Ann Taylor, the defense attorney for Bryan Kohberger. Amid the backdrop of a high-profile case, Taylor's decision to send out a questionnaire to potential jurors, asking pointed questions about Kohberger's guilt, comes under scrutiny. The move, intended to prove the jury pool's bias, ironically might have further tainted it, raising questions about Taylor's motive and methodology. Guest Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and defense attorney, shares his bafflement over Taylor's unorthodox tactic, which not only deviates from standard legal practice but also risks the very defense it aims to fortify. The conversation explores the potential backlash from the judiciary and the delicate balance between strategic lawyering and ethical boundaries, all while painting a picture of a defense seemingly at odds with its objective to defend.

    Main Points:


    Ann Taylor's unconventional strategy involved questioning potential jurors about specific, incriminating details related to Bryan Kohberger before the jury selection process, potentially biasing them.
    The approach is critiqued for possibly tainting the jury pool Taylor aims to prove is already biased.
    The defense's motives are questioned, with speculation that Taylor is attempting to justify a venue change by demonstrating bias in the current pool.
    Legal ramifications for Taylor's actions are discussed, including the possibility of sanctions or admonishment from the court for overstepping ethical boundaries.
    The podcast touches on the broader implications of such tactics on the legal system's integrity and the challenges of navigating high-profile defense cases within ethical confines.

    The Trial of Chad Daybell Day 5 Part 1

    The Trial of Chad Daybell Day 5 Part 1

    In the continuous coverage of the Chad Daybell trial, both "The Hidden Killers Podcast" and "True Crime Today" delve into the significant aspects and developments of the case, bringing to light the allegations and evidence that have captivated true crime audiences. The case involves Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, who are accused of a series of grave crimes, including murder, conspiracy, and grand theft, related to the deaths of Lori's two children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and Chad's previous wife, Tammy Daybell.

     Key points highlighted in their coverage would likely examine the intricate web of beliefs held by the Daybells, including apocalyptic visions and claims of dealing with "zombies" or dark spirits, which prosecutors argue motivated the alleged crimes. The trial has unveiled a complex narrative featuring evidence ranging from suspicious deaths followed by quick remarriages to the discovery of the children's remains in Chad Daybell's property. This evidence is crucial to understanding the prosecution's case, which posits that the Daybell’s extreme beliefs led them to commit these acts to fulfill their doomsday prophesies.
     
     Moreover, the coverage would touch upon the legal proceedings, including the charges against the couple, the defense's counterarguments, and the emotional testimonies from friends and family members. These elements combine to provide a comprehensive view of a case that is as perplexing as it is tragic, shedding light on the actions and motivations of Chad and Lori Daybell amidst a tale of manipulation, religion, and murder.

Frequency, content and style of ads unbearable

Informative pod, however the ads (listening in Australia) make this almost unlistenable. Including the fact the zero effort was put in to placement when ads at the end chirp “we’re halfway through the show…”.
I’m normally happy to listen to ads to support a free pod but have to turn this one off and unfollow.

Ads galore

If you love ads, then this is the show for you. Out of a 7 min episode. 1 minute at the start and end is filler. Then 2 minutes of ads every ep. You’re lucky to get 3 minutes of content out a 7 minute episode. SKIP! If they were longer episodes I could deal with it but not 8 7 minute episodes a day. Ridiculous structure

Criminologist and avid listener

Have been listening to this since the Idaho Murders and now the Murdaugh saga. Look forward to each episode, its informative and suspenseful. People using this platform as a whinge fest to bang on about how bad it is shouldn’t have it on their list of podcasts?! Who makes time to complain about something they don’t agree with?! Just move on and spare us the three page rant review.Keep up the good work l!
