Today, survivors connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case are speaking publicly at a congressional-style hearing in Palm Beach focused on the failures that allowed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to abuse young girls for years. Testimony is expected to center on survivor experiences, the controversial 2008 plea deal, and accusations that powerful people and institutions protected Epstein from full accountability. The hearing also serves as a renewed push for transparency surrounding the remaining Epstein files and ongoing questions about who may have known about or enabled the abuse network.

Darrell Brooks turned his own murder trial into one of the most chaotic courtroom spectacles in recent memory, filled with explosive outbursts, sovereign citizen arguments, and nonstop clashes with the judge. In this Trial Look Back episode, True Crime Squad revisits the deadly Waukesha Christmas Parade attack, the emotional testimony from victims and survivors, and the courtroom moments that captivated millions watching the livestreams. We break down how the case unfolded from opening statements to sentencing — and why Judge Jennifer Dorow became one of the most talked-about judges in America.
