A rooftop sniper and a poisoned cocktail. One case headed for the death penalty. Another hanging by a thread.
In this special longform segment, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us for a double-case breakdown: the capital murder prosecution of Tyler James Robinson for the alleged politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk—and the bombshell developments in the Kouri Richins case, where the state’s star witness has just recanted.
In the Robinson case, we explore how a note, a long gun, and alleged political targeting created one of the most watched capital “Political Assassination & Poison Plot Unraveling – Eric Faddis Breaks Down the Two Biggest Criminal Cases in America”
Two of the most high-stakes criminal cases in America are barreling toward trial—and both could implode for very different reasons.
First, there’s Tyler James Robinson, accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk in a public, calculated ambush. A rooftop. A rifle. A note. A political-enhancement charge. And now, the state is seeking the death penalty. Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and current defense attorney, walks us through what happens when prosecutors go all-in on a capital case—from how the defense gears up, to the legal impact of charging political motivation, to the suppression wars coming around DNA, digital evidence, and jury selection. This is a legal war machine, slow by design and brutal in execution. We break it down from both sides.
Then, we turn to the latest twist in the Kouri Richins case—where the state’s theory of how she got the fentanyl that allegedly killed her husband just took a major hit. The prosecution’s key witness, Robert Crozier, has now recanted—saying he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper they claim passed it to Kouri. With no recovered drugs, a five-times-lethal tox report, and 11 terabytes of jumbled discovery, Faddis breaks down whether this case still has legs—or if it’s spiraling into Brady violation territory. What happens when a case built on motive and suspicion suddenly loses its foundation?
From a possible death sentence to a crumbling narrative, this episode dives deep into what happens when courtroom drama meets real-world stakes. Justice isn’t just about guilt or innocence—it’s about what can be proven, what’s admissible, and what survives the gauntlet of American criminal procedure.
If you want more than headlines—if you want to understand how this system actually works—this conversation is essential viewing.
