About this listen

When high-profile cases collide with Hollywood influence, the courtroom becomes a stage. Attorney David Gelman joins Killer Psychologist to unpack the truth behind the Menendez brothers, Bryan Kohberger, and Sean “Diddy” Combs. From Kim Kardashian’s public advocacy to the media’s grip on public perception, we explore the tension between celebrity influence and cold, hard evidence.

Spoiler: Gelman believes the Menendez brothers should stay exactly where they are.

As a former prosecutor and seasoned criminal defense attorney, Gelman breaks down the legal realities behind the headlines. He weighs in on the media firestorm surrounding Bryan Kohberger’s defense strategy, the federal investigation into Sean Combs, the lawsuit involving actress Blake Lively and the film It Ends With Us, and the chaos surrounding the Karen Read trial—where a former juror shocked the public by joining the defense team.

This episode pulls back the curtain on what really happens when fame, media, and justice collide.
