    Dec 12 2025

    The Trial: USA is back! In this first episode of our new weekly show, we dive into the Bryan Walshe murder trial, the most closely watched courtroom battle in the United States right now.Walshe is accused of killing his wife, Ana Walshe, before dismembering her body and disposing of her remains. Prosecutors say the case hinges not on eyewitnesses, but on a chilling trail of Google searches, surveillance footage, and forensic evidence they claim is impossible to explain away.


    Daily Mail's Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp joins host Kayla Brantley, to unpack why this trial matters - from the unprecedented use of digital evidence, to the prosecution’s strategy, and what jurors are being asked to believe as the case unfolds in real time.We break down what’s happened in court so far, what comes next, and why this trial could become a landmark moment in how modern murder cases are prosecuted in America.

  • Diddy - Jailed
    Oct 4 2025

    In this FINAL episode of our Diddy series Kayla and Dan have all the drama from the courtroom in Manhattan as Sean Combs was jailed for over 4 years. In a hearing lasting for almost eight hours, including an emotional 12-minute plea from the defendant, the judge was not persuaded to release him. Instead he said violence against women had to be met with accountability. The judge also praised the bravery of the women who told the world their story.
