Who Is Diane Menashe? McKee's Defense Attorney Beat 14 Murder Charges in 2022
from The Tepe Murders: The Case Against Michael McKee · host Hidden Killers Podcast
Michael McKee has made his first move — and it tells us everything about how he plans to fight these charges.Three days ago, McKee pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Monique and Spencer Tepe. He didn't speak. His attorney Diane Menashe waived bond and signaled clearly: no plea deal. This is going to trial.So who is Diane Menashe and why does her involvement change everything?In 2022, she defended Dr. William Husel against 14 murder charges — patients allegedly killed with fentanyl overdoses at Mount Carmel hospital. The prosecution called 53 witnesses. Menashe called one. Husel was acquitted on every count. She's also kept multiple death row-bound clients alive, including Reagan Tokes' killer Brian Golsby.Her philosophy: make the prosecution prove everything, find the weakness in their strongest evidence, and never let intent go unchallenged.In this episode, we break down exactly how Menashe might attack the McKee case. The NIBIN ballistics system that produces "leads," not courtroom proof. The shadowy Ring camera footage. The missing motive that prosecutors still haven't explained. McKee's psychological deterioration in the years before the murders — malpractice suits, disappearing from colleagues, giving fake addresses to process servers.The Tepe family buried Monique and Spencer in front of over a thousand mourners. Their children were in the house that night.Now comes the fight for accountability. And McKee has hired Columbus's best to make sure it's as hard as possible.#TepeCase #MichaelMcKee #MoniquTepe #SpencerTepe #DianeMenashe #ColumbusOhio #JusticeForTepe #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #WeinlandParkJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
