13th Juror Podcast

This week on Court Report, some of the biggest cases we've been following are taking unexpected turns.
A death-row execution goes horribly wrong. The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial finally speaks out. Alex Murdaugh’s defense says a new investigation could raise serious questions about the missing murder weapons. And an appeals court weighs in on something we’ve never really had to consider before: can AI speak for a murder victim at sentencing?
Plus, 12 young people are shot at a birthday celebration in Georgia, there’s a new development for Making a Murderer’s Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, and six years after the Frostproof Massacre, a Florida jury finally reaches a verdict.
And if you’ve been following the Caleb Flynn trial with me, we have a verdict there too—with a full 13th Juror episode coming next week.
⚖️ Court Report — out now wherever you listen to 13th Juror Podcast.

This week, we’re bringing you a bonus episode because this case is simply too big—and there are too many unanswered questions—to fit into Court Report.
Seven men who were Cornell students and members of the Chi Phi fraternity at the time are accused in a civil lawsuit of sexually assaulting a fellow student after a night involving alcohol and ketamine. Disturbing Snapchat messages circulated while she was allegedly inside the fraternity house. She later went to police, but no criminal charges were filed.
Now, nearly two years later, a lawsuit and new reporting from CBS News are raising serious questions about what Jane Doe told investigators, what was ultimately documented, and what information prosecutors actually received when they decided not to pursue charges.
In this episode, we go back to the beginning: what Jane says happened that night, what she told police afterward, the evidence that has since emerged, why the original investigation ended without charges, and why the case is now being examined again.

This episode discusses allegations of sexual assault and drug use and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

The allegations discussed in this episode have not been proven in court. The individuals named in the civil lawsuit are entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence in any criminal proceeding.

Attorney Steven Cozzi arrived at work on an ordinary Tuesday morning—and then seemingly vanished. His car was still outside. His phone, wallet, and keys were left behind. But inside the office building, investigators found blood, signs of a cleanup, and surveillance footage of a mysterious man leaving with a heavily loaded wagon.
What followed was an investigation that would uncover a contentious lawsuit, months of alleged planning, a hidden Toyota Tundra, disturbing digital evidence, and a trail that investigators believed revealed what happened to Steve—even though his body has never been found.
More than three years later, plastic surgeon Dr. Tomasz Kosowski went on trial for Steve's murder. But with no body, no jury, and Kosowski making the extraordinary decision to represent himself in a death penalty case, prosecutors would have to prove their case in one of the most unusual murder trials we've covered.
This is the case of Steven Cozzi and the trial of Dr. Tomasz Kosowski.

On February 16, 2022, Jared Bridegan was driving home with his two-year-old daughter when he came across a tire blocking the road.
He stopped to move it.
Seconds later, he was dead.
What looked like a roadside shooting would unravel into an alleged murder-for-hire plot years in the making — involving a mysterious pickup truck, a hired gun, a bitter custody battle, and people much closer to Jared than anyone initially knew.
In this episode of 13th Juror, we break down the murder of Jared Bridegan, the case against Mario Fernandez-Saldana, and the evidence that ultimately went before a jury.
But some of the most explosive evidence in this case?
The jury never heard it.
