Alexander Kise, a resident of Canandaigua, New York, recently convicted of raping a high school senior, now faces allegations of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot against a judge, prosecutor, and witness involved in his case.
Kise, 21, was convicted just last month for the sexual assault and unlawful imprisonment of an 18-year-old high school student whom he had invited over in June 2022 after meeting her online.
Prosecutors revealed that Kise had sexually assaulted and strangled the victim over a two-day period before coercing her into falsely attributing her injuries to a mugging during a hospital visit. The victim managed to escape Kise's captivity the following day with the help of an Uber.
However, before Kise could be sentenced for his crimes, authorities allege that he conspired with his girlfriend, Alydia Gater, to hire someone to kill the judge, prosecutor, and witness involved in his trial. The plot reportedly unfolded through jailhouse calls between Kise and Gater, with discussions including specific details about the targets' locations. Prosecutors claim that Kise and Gater even offered Xanax pills as a down payment to an undercover police officer posing as a hitman.

His girlfriend, 22-year-old Alydia Gater, is accused of meeting with someone who she thought was a hired killer in a parking lot in March.
“Unbeknownst to her the person she was meeting was an undercover officer,” said State Police Criminal Investigations Captain Kevin Sucher.
Police say Gater offered the undercover officer  $1,750 worth of Xanax as payment to kill the judge.
Additionally, a 16-year-old juvenile was arrested in connection with the plot.
“There was actually very affirmative actions taken on behalf of Alexander Kise by his girlfriend and others. There is a juvenile who is charged in this case also to take the life of a judge and there was plans to take the life of an assistant district attorney and a person who testified in his original trial,” Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford announced Thursday, revealing that a 16-year-old was also arrested.

Both Kise and Gater now face charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, and criminal sale of a controlled substance. Authorities stated that approximately $1,750 worth of Xanax was used as payment for the intended killings.
The investigation into the plot uncovered connections between Kise and Gater, including social media posts indicating their engagement and Gater's pregnancy. Alydia Gater's Facebook page revealed posts referencing their engagement and the expectation of a child.

Kise was awaiting sentencing for his rape conviction and faces a maximum of 57 years in prison and 20 years of parole on the initial charges.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, discusses the ongoing investigation into Sean "Diddy" Combs. The discussion delves into the complexities of the case, which involves allegations of human trafficking and the difficulties in proving such charges due to the intricate web of relationships and the high-profile nature of the individuals involved. Dreeke emphasizes the significance of Diddy's silence and the general lack of public support or condemnation as indicative of the seriousness and sensitivity of the investigation. He explores the psychology behind group dynamics and the implications of celebrity influence on behavior, suggesting that those around Diddy may be hesitant to speak out due to fear of repercussions or damage to their own reputations. The conversation also touches on the broader impacts of the case on Hollywood and elite social circles, predicting a temporary increase in cautious behavior among the elite following the resolution of the case.

Main Points:
- Discussion of the ongoing investigation into Diddy, focusing on allegations of human trafficking and the complex nature of gathering sufficient evidence.
- Analysis of the silence and lack of clear support for Diddy from friends and associates, which may reflect the severity and potential implications of the accusations.
- Examination of the psychological and social dynamics that can influence group behavior and individual decisions within elite networks.

 In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta, who also hosts "Defense Diaries," discusses the ongoing trial of Karen Read. The trial, characterized as a whodunit, has captured significant attention from the true crime community. Motta critiques the slow and monotone opening by the prosecutor, Adam Lally, and contrasts it with the bombshell opening from Read’s defense, boldly stating that she was framed. The defense's unconventional approach in the opening statements was a highlight. Witnesses so far have mainly been EMTs and paramedics, with testimonies tending to be monotonous but punctuated by some compelling cross-examinations led by Alan Jackson. One critical element of the trial is the conflicting testimonies regarding Read's statements at the scene, with some witnesses recalling her admitting to hitting the victim, while others did not hear such admissions. This inconsistency is a pivotal point for both the prosecution and defense.

Main Points:

Opening Statements: The prosecutor's opening was seen as ineffective and too monotone, while the defense made a strong, unexpected claim that Read was framed.
Witness Testimony: The initial witnesses were family members, followed by a series of EMTs and paramedics. Their testimonies have been somewhat repetitive but include important details about Read's statements during the incident.
Cross-Examinations: Defense attorney Alan Jackson's skillful cross-examinations have highlighted discrepancies in witnesses' accounts of what Read said at the scene.
Key Issues: A major focus is whether Read actually admitted to hitting the victim, with varying accounts from different witnesses.
Defense Strategy: The defense may leverage the emotional and chaotic nature of Read's statements at the scene to challenge the intent required for a murder charge.
Charge Severity: Motta questions the appropriateness of the murder charge, suggesting manslaughter might be more fitting given the circumstances described.

The discussion exposes Diddy's alleged grotesque narcissism and abusive behavior, including violent acts behind closed doors, as highlighted in various testimonies and court cases.
