  • The Phantom FBI Agent Murder Defense

    The Phantom FBI Agent Murder Defense
    2025/08/17
    When Navy JAG officer Nicholas Kassotis went on trial for the brutal murder and dismemberment of his wife, the courtroom expected a defense grounded in law. Instead, jurors were told a story that belonged in a screenplay. Kassotis claimed an FBI agent—one who never existed—had been investigating mysterious vandals and secret threats against the couple. Kassotis even took the stand insisting this phantom agent shaped his life and career. Prosecutors countered with chilling evidence of premeditation, including a shovel, knives, and cleaning supplies bought before his wife’s murder. In the end, jurors had to decide: was this the desperate delusion of a guilty man, or the truth of a husband facing forces no one else could see?

    Wrongful Confessions & No-Body Convictions: Two Cases of Justice in Question
    2025/07/29
    Two teens in New York spent over 30 years in prison for a murder they didn’t commit — and yet, they confessed. In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind false confessions, the interrogation tactics that lead to them, and how the truth finally came to light. Then, we shift to a no-body murder conviction: Jerry Meek was sentenced to life for the presumed murder of his wife, Hope Meek — despite no body, no confession, and no witnesses. We dissect the court documents and explore whether justice was served or if a wrongful conviction is still unfolding in a case that has a small Oklahoma City perplexed. #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #hopemeek #Brianboles #Newyork #Oklahoma #Killergenes
