The True Crime Tapes

Dr. Bryan Edelman is a trial consultant and expert on pre-trial publicity who was involved in the Bryan Kohberger trial. Edelman was hired by Kohberger's defense team to conduct a phone survey of potential jurors in Latah County, Idaho. The purpose of the survey was to assess the impact of media coverage on public opinion about the case, which involves Kohberger being charged with the murder of four University of Idaho students.

The survey, which contacted 400 residents, faced significant criticism from the prosecution. They argued that the questions were too specific and potentially spread false information, thereby contaminating the jury pool. Some questions included details not found in official affidavits, leading to concerns that the survey was prejudicing potential jurors against Kohberger.

Edelman defended his work, stating that his aim was to measure the influence of media coverage on public opinion, regardless of whether the information was true or false. He emphasized that such surveys are standard practice in high-profile cases to determine whether a fair trial can be conducted in the current venue or if a change of venue is necessary.

The controversy surrounding the survey led the judge to pause its continuation and to schedule further hearings to decide on the matter.


In this episode we take a look at his declaration filed with the court.

Leon Black, the former Apollo Global Management CEO, sought sanctions against the law firm Wigdor LLP representing his accuser—a woman who alleged he sexually assaulted her at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion. In early 2023, a New York judge denied this request, finding no evidence that the accuser or her attorneys had engaged in behavior warranting sanctions. The judge emphasized that neither side crossed the threshold for extreme conduct required to justify punitive measures by the court.


In a separate but related case, the accuser, Cheri Pierson, later dismissed her lawsuit with prejudice—meaning she cannot refile—effectively ending that chapter without reinstating sanctions. Despite Black’s efforts to push back against the claims legally, the court’s actions show that his attempts to penalize the accuser or her attorneys did not succeed, and the matter concluded without additional legal repercussions for either party.

Precious Muir, a British model and broadcaster, recently shared unsettling accounts of her experiences at Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous parties. She described how these gatherings were laden with predatory behavior, drugs, and a toxic environment aimed at exploiting young women. Muir reflected that many attendees, including models like herself, were lured by the promise of advancing their careers but found themselves in risky situations. She emphasized that her decision to avoid drugs saved her life, noting that several others who participated developed severe addictions or faced tragic outcomes​

Muir recounted that some of these events, starting as daytime parties, devolved into disturbing scenes at night, including graphic sexual behavior. Shockingly, she mentioned the presence of children at these gatherings, questioning how such an inappropriate environment could allow that. Her narrative aligns with broader allegations against Diddy, who is currently under scrutiny following numerous accusations of sexual misconduct from over 120 individuals. Muir expressed no surprise at his recent arrest, implying that his behavior at these parties always carried a sinister undertone.

The 2007 NPA granted Epstein immunity from federal prosecution, explicitly including “any potential co-conspirators.” However, courts have ruled that this immunity only applied within the jurisdiction of the Southern District of Florida, which negotiated the deal. The Second Circuit Court held that the agreement did not bind other U.S. Attorney’s Offices, such as the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where Ghislaine Maxwell was later tried—and upheld her prosecution despite the NPA’s language. This is because prosecutors in different districts are not automatically constrained by deals made in Florida.

Prosecutors themselves have highlighted the absurdity of a scenario where Epstein could potentially still face prosecution in another district, while his co-conspirators remain untouchable nationwide. In a Supreme Court filing, the Justice Department stressed how logically inconsistent—and legally bizarre—it would be if a defendant could be pursued in District A, but their collaborators remain immune everywhere else due to an out-of-state agreement. The broader principle endorsed by courts is that NPAs do not grant blanket immunity beyond their originating district.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein’s estate for a broad collection of records, including financial documents, correspondence, Epstein’s will, agreements with prosecutors, and what has been described as the “birthday book.” That book, presented to Epstein on his 50th birthday, contained notes and letters from acquaintances and has been cited as a potential source of information on his personal and professional connections. The committee stated the request is part of its wider probe into how Epstein’s crimes were handled and what federal authorities may have overlooked or failed to disclose.

In addition, the committee has scheduled former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta for a transcribed interview on September 19. Acosta, who approved the 2008 non-prosecution agreement that shielded Epstein from federal charges, is expected to be questioned about the decision-making process behind that deal and the extent of Justice Department involvement. His testimony, combined with the subpoena for the estate’s records, represents a new stage of congressional scrutiny into the broader handling of Epstein’s case and the officials tied to it.

House committee to question Alex Acosta in Jeffrey Epstein probe

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.

In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.
