LIVE: Bob Motta Breaks Down The McKee Indictment — Suppressor Allegation, Ballistics Match, And What Prosecutors Still Need
Description
A five-count indictment. Four counts of aggravated murder. One count of aggravated burglary. And the allegation that Dr. Michael McKee used a firearm equipped with a suppressor to kill his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer.
Tonight, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to analyze the prosecution's case. What does the suppressor allegation mean for proving "prior calculation and design" under Ohio law? Why four aggravated murder counts for two victims? And what does the aggravated burglary charge tell us about how prosecutors believe McKee entered the home — when there's still no explanation for how he got inside with no forced entry?
The NIBIN ballistics match is being called "preliminary." McKee gave police an alibi before his arrest that didn't hold up. He only invoked silence after the cuffs went on. Motta explains how damaging those pre-arrest statements could be at trial — and whether the defense has any chance of getting them suppressed.
McKee is a 39-year-old vascular surgeon with no criminal record, no malpractice, no disciplinary actions. His neighbors described him as friendly, normal — the guy who chatted at the pool. Now he's facing a minimum of life with parole after 32 years.
Prosecutors have not filed capital specifications. They're not seeking the death penalty. At least not yet. We break down what that tells us — and what evidence the prosecution still needs to lock this case down.
