In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and guest Bob Motta, a renowned defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," delved into a complex and intriguing legal drama involving a family enmeshed in criminal activities. The conversation centered around the legal implications for family members, particularly Wendy, in a case that has already seen Charlie incarcerated for life.
 
 Motta explained the nuances of attorney-client privilege, a cornerstone of legal ethics. "The only time we can break privilege as attorneys is if I'm made aware of my client committing a crime in the future," Motta stated, highlighting the strict conditions under which confidentiality can be breached. This principle plays a crucial role in the case, especially regarding conversations between the family's attorney and Donna, another family member.
 
 The discussion took a turn when examining Donna's potential role in the crime. Motta pondered, "If she admits to having knowledge of the plan, she then becomes an accomplice." This raises questions about the extent of Donna's involvement and her awareness of the criminal plans.
 
 A significant point of interest was the role of Wendy, suspected by some, including a YouTuber referred to by Motta, of being the mastermind behind the crimes. Despite suspicions and circumstantial evidence, Motta emphasized the challenge prosecutors face in proving such allegations. "They don't have the evidence against her. Otherwise, they don't need to wait," he remarked, underscoring the gap between suspicion and legal proof.
 
 The conversation also touched on the aftermath of Charlie's conviction, particularly focusing on Donna's actions and statements in recorded phone calls. Motta expressed disbelief at her lack of discretion, noting, "Those phone calls are damning. If I'm her attorney, I'm desperately trying to convince her we're not beating this at trial."
 
 As the discussion veered towards the potential involvement of Donna's husband, Motta speculated on the likelihood of him being next in line for prosecution. He explained, "They've been married forever. They tell each other everything," suggesting his possible complicity or at least knowledge of the crimes.
 
 The episode concluded with Brueski and Motta reflecting on the bizarre and often unbelievable nature of real-life criminal cases. Motta mused, "Fiction has nothing on reality," highlighting the often stranger-than-fiction scenarios they encounter in their line of work.
 
 As the legal saga continues to unfold, one question lingers: Will the truth about Wendy's involvement ever come to light, or will the intricacies of legal ethics and lack of concrete evidence keep it shrouded in mystery?
