Episode Details

Former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers Live for an extended breakdown of three major legal stories developing right now.

In Utah, the prosecution just finished presenting Kouri Richins' financial situation to the jury—and it's ugly. Negative $1.6 million net worth. A business described as "imploding." Checks bouncing constantly. The prosecution wants jurors to connect financial desperation to murder motive. The defense admits she was bad with money—but argues that's not the same as being a killer. Eric Faddis explains the legal standard and where both sides are strongest.

In Arizona, the Nancy Guthrie investigation has no arrest and no suspect—but it's already produced innocent victims. A man was detained for hours and released. A teacher is being harassed at his home. The Guthrie family had to be publicly cleared. Eric Faddis explains what legal options exist for people dragged into cases they had nothing to do with—including defamation claims, platform liability under Section 230, and why getting your name back is harder than it should be.

In federal court, the Cascio family's lawsuit against the Michael Jackson estate faces a critical hearing this week. After 25 years defending Jackson—testimony, a memoir, national television—all five siblings are now alleging he drugged, raped, and trafficked them since childhood. The estate says it's a $200 million extortion scheme and wants the whole thing sealed in arbitration. Eric Faddis examines the credibility question, the settlement the Cascios already collected, and what happens next.

Three cases. One conversation. Every angle covered.
