  • S3 Eps 4 - David Temple True Crime Edition w/ Anthony Osso
    2025/02/16
    Welcome to another gripping episode of the Dirty Verdict podcast, the "No Sneeze, Dark Edition." Join hosts Peter Taaffe, Kyle Herbert, and Bill Ogden, along with frequent guest and criminal defense expert Anthony Osso, as they dive into the chilling true crime case of David Temple. In 1999, Temple, a former college football player turned high school coach, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife in their Katy, Texas home. The case, filled with twists, prosecutorial misconduct, and appeals, raises questions about circumstantial evidence, legal ethics, and the complexities of the justice system. Tune in for a detailed breakdown, expert insights, and lively discussion on this infamous case. Show Notes: Introduction (00:00:41 - 00:01:15) Hosts Peter, Kyle, and Bill introduce the episode. Frequent guest Anthony, a criminal defense expert, joins the show to discuss true crime. Case Overview: David Temple Murder Case (00:01:15 - 00:04:13) In 1999, David Temple's pregnant wife, a fellow teacher, was found shot dead in their closet in Katy, Texas. Temple claimed it was a break-in, but police later suspected him due to inconsistencies in his story. Temple was indicted years later, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Legal Proceedings and Appeals (00:04:13 - 00:06:17) Temple's defense attorney, Dick DeGuerin, and prosecutor Kelly Siegler were key figures in the trial. Appeals revealed 36 instances of prosecutorial misconduct, including Brady violations (failure to disclose exculpatory evidence). The Michael Morton Act in Texas enhanced disclosure requirements. Temple was retried, reconvicted, but the jury deadlocked on sentencing, leading to a new sentencing phase with life imprisonment upheld. Key Discussion Points (00:06:17 - 00:50:25) Legal Advice and Police Interaction: Anthony advises having a lawyer present during police questioning, especially in serious cases. Discussion on Miranda rights and when they are triggered (detention vs. arrest). Circumstantial Evidence: No murder weapon was found, and the case relied on timeline inconsistencies, affair evidence, and motive. Temple's affair with a fellow teacher and his remarriage during the investigation were highlighted. Alternative suspect theory: a neighbor with a motive and access to a shotgun was not fully disclosed (Brady violation). Prosecutorial Ethics and Brady Violations: Debate on why prosecutors might withhold evidence and the impact of the Michael Morton Act. Penalties for intentional Brady violations include dismissal of cases, suppression of evidence, or criminal prosecution. Sentencing and Appeals: Temple's incarceration history: jailed from 2007 to 2016, released on bond, reconvicted in 2019, and back in prison. Life sentence means parole eligibility after 30 years or half the sentence, whichever is earlier. Current appeal status unclear, but conviction likely to stand based on prior rulings. Key Takeaways (00:50:25 - 00:51:35) Divorce is a better alternative to murder. Get a lawyer if you suspect you are a suspect. Prosecutors should err on the side of disclosure to ensure justice. Closing (00:51:35 - 00:54:18) Thanks to Anthony for his insights and expertise. Contact Anthony at Cogdell Law Firm for criminal defense needs.
