Is Elizabeth Siders a Defendant Or THIS Family's Victim?

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

She was married off at fifteen. She gave birth to all sixteen children. She faces sixteen felony counts. And her own attorney says she might be a victim of the Siders family, not one of its architects. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the hardest legal question in this case: can Elizabeth Siders be a defendant and a victim at the same time, and what does that argument do to a prosecution trying to hold four people accountable for what happened inside one house?Four adults face sixty-four combined felony counts of child endangerment. The grandfather, seventy-three years old, walked out of custody because Vinton County couldn't cover his medical expenses — and his defense attorney has filed five competency motions. The AG called the conditions pure evil. The sheriff compared them to livestock. And now a gag order has silenced every official, filed by the very defense team whose client's unrelated warrant led deputies to the house in the first place.Faddis addresses whether child endangerment is the right charge for what investigators described, why the gag order could become the defense's strongest weapon, where the state's liability begins after Gallia County filed truancy complaints in 2021 that were never served, and how a judge sentences four defendants with wildly different levels of alleged culpability. Tony Brueski, Robin, and Eric Faddis break it all down live.—Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
