Description: Dr. Michael McKee is facing four counts of aggravated murder for allegedly killing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in their Columbus home on December 30th. The prosecution has ballistics. Vehicle tracking. Video footage. A suppressed weapon. No forced entry.And McKee just hired Diane Menashe.If that name doesn't mean anything to you, it should. In 2022, Menashe co-counseled the defense of Dr. William Husel — the Mount Carmel physician charged with murdering 14 patients with fentanyl overdoses. The prosecution called 53 witnesses over six weeks. Menashe called one. Husel walked on every count.She also kept Reagan Tokes' killer Brian Golsby off death row when eight jurors wanted him executed. She saved cop-killer Quentin Smith from lethal injection.Diane Menashe doesn't do hopeless cases. She does cases everyone else thinks are hopeless — and finds the fractures in the prosecution's fortress.Today we analyze her potential defense strategy: attacking the NIBIN ballistics match that isn't as ironclad as it sounds, questioning the shadowy Ring camera identification, exploiting the missing motive, and potentially presenting McKee's documented spiral — malpractice suits, disappearing from colleagues, expired licenses — as evidence of psychological deterioration rather than cold premeditation.McKee isn't walking free. The evidence is too damning. But the difference between life with parole eligibility and life without parole? That's what Menashe fights for. That's what money buys.Two orphaned children. A thousand mourners. And the best defense attorney in Columbus.#HiddenKillers #MichaelMcKee #MoniquTepe #SpencerTepe #DianeMenashe #TrueCrime #MurderDefense #WilliamHusel #OhioMurder #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
