Night Watch: Here’s What We Know About the NBA Mafia Gambling Scandal
Tonight, Katie breaks down a federal case that might sound like the plot to a movie, but is in fact very real. Prosecutors say New York crime families teamed up with former and current NBA players to run two overlapping schemes. In one, Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups allegedly acted as celebrity bait at underground poker games where hidden tech and rigged shufflers let Mafia backed cheating teams quietly drain high rollers of millions. In the other, investigators say Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and insiders sold secret injury and game info to fuel huge illegal prop bets, even faking an in-game injury to cash in. With more than thirty people charged, stars on leave, and investigators hinting this may reach beyond basketball, tonight’s episode unpacks how the mob, modern tech, and pro sports collided in a case that could shake fan trust in the game itself.

First Watch: Husamettin Dogan Gets More Years for Assaulting Gisèle Pelicot
A French woman spent nearly a decade believing she was losing her mind, never knowing that her husband was drugging her, filming her, and inviting men to SA her while she slept. Police counted 74 men in total who assaulted the brave Gisèle Pelicot, identifying 54 of them. Today, Katie breaks down the newest twist in Gisèle’s case, where the only man who appealed his conviction just received even more prison time.
Then, Katie follows a case in San Antonio, where police uncovered a staged crime scene in the murder of Matthew Guerra, his pregnant girlfriend Savanah Soto, and their unborn son. As capital murder suspect Christopher Preciado awaits trial, his stepmother now faces her own day in court for allegedly helping cover up the killings.

Night Watch: From Power Couple to Legal Battle: Tech Billionaire Eric Schmidt
They say you should never call your ex, but this episode explores why you shouldn’t mix romance with business either. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt didn’t just date Michelle Ritter. He built a company with her and folded her into his world of mansions, staff, and early stage deals. When the relationship soured, their attempt to settle things quietly blew up after Michelle said Schmidt was trying to silence her from speaking about abuse and stalking. He responded by cutting off her access to properties and systems and insisting her claims are false. Now Ritter has filed for a domestic violence restraining order, Schmidt’s lawyers are pushing to seal the case, and a December hearing could decide how much of their fight over money, power, and control becomes part of the public record.

First Watch: “Dead Girls Don’t Talk”: Fake Hollywood Producer Will Serve 146 Years
Two very different plots, one chilling theme: killers betting their victims won’t live long enough to tell the truth. In today’s first case, unfortunately they didn’t, but that didn’t stop authorities from pursuing justice. In Los Angeles, David Pearce (called the “devil personified”) was found guilty of drugging, assaulting, and murdering friends Christy Giles and Hilda Cabrales-Arzola after a night of partying, then having masked accomplices dump them at separate hospitals.
Then, Katie dives into a case in Wales, where Christopher Mills thought a quiet camper getaway might help his overworked wife reset…until two masked men with guns stormed the van. An investigation would expose a murder for insurance conspiracy tied to his wife Michelle, her client turned lover, and a six figure life insurance policy in Christopher’s name.

Night Watch: From Dorm Assault to Global Outrage: Shannon Keeler’s Bravery
As a college freshman, Shannon Keeler did everything she was told to do after being SA'd in her dorm room. She reported it immediately, completed an SA kit, named her attacker, and brought witnesses forward. Prosecutors still walked away, then destroyed the evidence. Years later, the man she says SAd her, Ian Cleary, flooded her Facebook with rambling messages that ended in a typed confession.
Even then, the District Attorney refused to act until Shannon went public and national outrage forced their hand, triggering an international manhunt that finally dragged Cleary back from Europe. Tonight, Katie unpacks how one survivor’s persistence, the power of the press, and an Interpol red notice turned a “closed” file into a guilty plea and a sentence that has many asking if justice really caught up.
