D4VD's Wiretap — What Investigators Were Listening To

Deputy DA Beth Silverman disclosed in court that investigators obtained a wiretap during the investigation of David Anthony Burke. That means a judge — at some point while this probe was still active — authorized real-time surveillance of Burke's communications.Getting a wiretap approved isn't easy. It requires showing a judge that other investigative methods have been tried or would fail. It means prosecutors believed there was active criminal conduct worth monitoring in real time.The wiretap is just one piece of what's now being turned over to the defense — alongside results from three separate grand juries, roughly forty terabytes of digital data from Burke's phone and iCloud, and material from fifty-four search warrants. Only about thirty percent of the evidence had reached the defense's review system as of the last hearing.The defense initially demanded a fast preliminary hearing. They reversed course and asked for a delay to May 26 after the discovery started arriving. They also tried to seal the prosecution's evidence brief. The judge denied it.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what wiretap evidence produces that other tools cannot, what investigators gained from months of compelled testimony, and what the scope of this investigation reveals.Part 3 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
