What Nancy Guthrie's Sheriff Got Caught Saying Under Oath

How much red meat is on the bone for a defense attorney in the Nancy Guthrie case? More than anyone should be comfortable with — and not one suspect has even been named yet.It's a legal breakdown with defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski runs the defense playbook on the investigation into the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother. The headline problem is the sheriff who led it: a man now facing a perjury referral from his own county over what he said under oath about his record. When the official at the center of a case has his own credibility in front of the state Attorney General, every report, every search, and every piece of evidence his department handled gets a question mark next to it.Then come the rest of the cracks. The scene that was never really secured. The searches that were called off. The glove DNA that led to the wrong person. The fight between local investigators and the FBI over who tested what, and where. Tony explains which of these a defense attorney can turn into suppressed evidence, which become pure reasonable doubt, and whether the combination has already done damage that can't be undone.He's blunt about the stakes, too. This isn't a thought experiment. If the failures are bad enough, they don't just threaten a weak case — they can sink a strong one, and they can do it for a person who actually did it.The most unsettling question in this whole case isn't who took Nancy. It's whether the people looking for her have already made it possible for the right person to walk free.Full conversation inside.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
