Tepe Murders: Michael McKee Murder Case—Lawyer Who Beat 14 Murder Charges Now Defending Doctor

Tepe Murders: Michael McKee Murder Case—Lawyer Who Beat 14 Murder Charges Now Defending Doctor

Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

Michael McKee hired the attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen murders. Diane Menashe called one witness in that trial. Husel walked on all fourteen counts. Now she's representing another doctor charged with murder—and the parallels are striking. Overwhelming evidence. Medical professional defendant. High-profile case. And a defense attorney who doesn't build cases—she dismantles prosecutions.

McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder for the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. Police have ballistics linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago condo to shell casings at the crime scene. Vehicle tracking from Columbus back to Illinois. Surveillance footage allegedly showing McKee behind the Tepe home. A suppressor specification. No signs of forced entry. Family members say McKee was emotionally abusive and threatened Monique's life—but there's nothing in the official record for eight years between the divorce and the murders.

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to analyze Menashe's likely approach, how she could attack the ballistics evidence, and whether the eight-year gap creates reasonable doubt about motive. We examine what the no-forced-entry detail could mean for an alternative theory, how the suppressor specification affects the premeditation argument, and what it means that the lead prosecutor is trying her first felony case against a 27-year defense veteran.
