It’s a strange split. A risky split. And a split that reshapes the entire murder trial.
In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole sit down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to break down exactly what this means — legally, strategically, and psychologically — as the trial begins.
Tony and Eric dissect the questions the public is asking:
• Why would a defendant admit to moving a body but deny killing the person?
• Is this a sign of desperation? A strategy? A narrative play?
• Does this strengthen the prosecution’s story of intent and consciousness of guilt?
• Is the defense about to pivot into an “accident + panic” explanation?
• What happens now that jurors will hear Walshe admit he concealed and destroyed evidence?
• Does this force the defense to abandon earlier theories — like Ana leaving on her own?
• And what does this mean for sentencing exposure and credibility?
Eric breaks down how prosecutors will weaponize these admissions — and how a defense attorney must now scramble to build a narrative around a client who has put himself directly at the scene after death.
This isn’t a small procedural detour. This is the trial tipping on its axis.
If you want the legal truth — not spin, not rumor — this conversation lays out exactly what this plea tells us, what the prosecution now knows, and what options Walshe has left.
