LIVE: Bob Motta on Michael McKee's Murder Defense In Tepe Case—Diane Menashe's Husel Strategy
Description
We're going live with defense attorney Bob Motta to break down Michael McKee's defense strategy after his not guilty plea to four counts of aggravated murder. McKee is now represented by Diane Menashe—the Columbus defense attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen murder charges in 2022 by calling one witness and letting the prosecution's case collapse.
The evidence against McKee appears substantial. Ballistics matching a weapon from his Chicago condo to shell casings at the scene. Vehicle tracking. Surveillance footage. A suppressor. No forced entry. Eight years between the divorce from Monique Tepe and her murder alongside her husband Spencer Tepe. But Menashe doesn't build defenses—she destroys prosecutions. And she's facing a Franklin County team where the lead prosecutor is trying her first felony case ever.
Bob Motta walks us through how Menashe might attack each piece of evidence, whether NIBIN ballistics matching holds up to cross-examination, and what the no-forced-entry detail could mean for an alternative theory of the case. We'll discuss whether the eight-year gap helps the defense argue this wasn't an obsessed ex-husband, and what the suppressor specification signals about premeditation. We're taking your questions live.
