Listen To A Very Animated Thomas Randolph In Pre-Trial Hearing
Aug 16, 2023, 05:06 PM
In the most recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski delves deep into the chilling case of Thomas Randolph, accused of murdering his sixth wife and a friend. The twist? Randolph claims it was all done in self-defense. The episode highlights an intriguing pre-trial hearing that took place two months ago.
Brueski prefaces the hearing, remarking on the peculiar nature of Randolph's persona: "I think it's important to take a listen and understand more about the very bizarre personality of Thomas Randolph."
The audio from the hearing paints a picture of courtroom drama interwoven with layers of complexity surrounding Randolph's case. The hearing takes place virtually, with Mr. Randolph logging in from the Nevada Department of Corrections. The list of attendees include Mr. Randolph's counsel, Mr. Oro and Mr. Orum, and Mr. Pesci, representing the state.
One of the significant concerns raised during the session is Randolph's access to his lawyers. He fervently expresses his frustration: "It's beyond me that my lawyers... Cannot set up a virtual [call]... this is getting old really fast." Randolph then emphasizes his dire need for lawyer-client communication, expressing that after 14 years and 25 different lawyers, he's more than weary. He states with certainty, "This case is over. It's just a matter of filing a couple of motions and the state's not gonna be happy with it."
Another contentious point is Randolph's request to be transported to his lawyer's office to review evidence vital to his case. He pleads, "There are literally hundreds of pictures and dozens of hours of video and audio that I have to listen to... I haven't seen the whole walkthrough just because I've had 25 lawyers in 14 years..."
The judge, however, asserts that such a transport request is out of her jurisdiction and up to the prison's discretion. But there are also notable lapses in communication; Mr. Oro, Randolph's lawyer, claims they've been facing difficulties even connecting with Randolph via phone, given the prison's policies.
To this, the judge replies, "I signed it May 18th, saying that he's supposed to have weekly telephonic conferences with you and Mr. Orno. Are you saying that is not being complied with?" She further emphasizes the need to have the prison authorities present in the courtroom to clarify the miscommunication and ensure compliance with her orders.
There's a striking moment when Randolph passionately conveys his conviction that once his lawyers see the evidence he's holding, they'll file the appropriate motions, and in turn, "ruin" both the judge and the state's day. "Then you are going to grant these motions that they file and I'm going home," he claims.
As the discussion draws to a close, Randolph inquires about material from Crime Stoppers that his attorneys are expected to receive, to which the judge confirms that the court order for it will be signed.
