Hey everyone,

Just a quick update for those of you looking for the latest video—it’s currently down, but for good reason. I’m in the process of making a few important edits to streamline the story. That means trimming out some of the slower or less compelling testimony and tightening up the pacing so the key moments really hit.

The original came in under 95 minutes. The new plan is to split the video into two parts so it’s easier to follow and more engaging start to finish. Thanks for your patience—I’ll have Part One back up very soon. Stay tuned!

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well!

Just dropping in with a quick update. Our next case is right around the corner, and let me tell you, this one is massive. We're reviewing over 80 hours of trial footage and combing through nearly 500 pages of court records to bring you the most accurate, detailed account possible.

This case is fascinating, it's complex, and it's going to run long, somewhere between 90 to 120 minutes. That’s by design. There’s simply no way to do this story justice without including the most pertinent evidence, courtroom moments, and legal twists. We’re not cutting corners just to keep it short, the integrity of the case comes first.

Thank you for your patience, and as always, thank you for being part of this community. We’ll see you very soon [upload expected next week]!

Stay safe and have a great weekend.

Best, James

Hey friends, just a quick note about the last video [https://youtu.be/6Qowd9F3NlM]. I’ve seen a few comments asking why I didn’t go into the serious allegations against Christina Parcell, and this is a fair question. Rather than responding one by one, I wanted to take a moment to explain my reasoning all in one place. And because I genuinely value you all and the discussions we have, I wanted to take the time to respond properly. I know legal procedures can be complicated, and I think it’s important to clarify how these decisions are made in court for those who may not be familiar with the process.

First off, many people assume that if something is alleged, it should be included in a trial, but the law doesn’t work that way. Courts follow strict rules of evidence to ensure a fair trial, and the judge, like it or not, ruled that certain allegations were not relevant to Zachary Hughes’ guilt or innocence.

Second, personally, I don’t report unproven allegations about someone who was never charged with a crime. Other channels may do that, but this is just my own principle.

As far as the allegations that came from Christina’s ex-partner, who was charged with crimes related to damaging her reputation, that alone makes them worth questioning. But more importantly, the judge evaluated the defense's evidence and ruled it was not relevant to Zachary Hughes’ trial. In any case, the validity of photos and videos must be properly authenticated in court before they can be used as evidence—especially in an era where technology makes manipulation easier than ever.

Lastly, this video is about Zachary Hughes—his actions, his trial, and how the jury reached its verdict. It’s not an investigative analysis into whether that decision was right or wrong.

I know this is a complex case, that's why I focus on covering what was actually presented in court. That said, cases like this bring up strong opinions, and I always welcome thoughtful and respectful dialogue. Thanks again for watching and engaging!

Sincerely, James

New Crime Atlas video dropping at 4PM CST - "Avenger or Assassin? A Pianist’s Deadly Obsession" [LINK: https://youtu.be/6Qowd9F3NlM]

Zachary Hughes is a world-class pianist with an impressive resume, except for the part where he went on trial for the murder of Christina Parcell in South Carolina. Back in October 2021, Parcell's fiance walked into a scene straight out of a horror movie, setting off an intense investigation. On the surface, Hughes had zero connection to Parcell—except for one wildcard: John Mello, the father of her daughter.

What followed was nothing short of explosive—a trial with bombshell testimony, jaw-dropping revelations, and a defense strategy that angered the judge. This case isn’t as straightforward as it looks, and it just might have you questioning whether Hughes was a vigilante on a mission or a calculated assassin. So, set your reminders, grab a coffee, and join us at 4PM CST—you won’t want to miss this one. See you there!

A San Francisco jury has reached a verdict in the high-profile murder trial of a tech consultant charged in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The verdict will be read in court today at 9:30 a.m. PST.



Nima Momeni was accused of stabbing and killing tech executive Bob Lee in the early morning hours of April 4, 2023. Prosecutors argued Momeni targeted Lee because he believed his sister, Khazar Momeni, was drugged and sexually assaulted by Jeremy Boivin, a man that Lee had introduced her to. Defense attorneys argued that it was Lee who pulled a knife on Momeni in a drug-fueled rage after Momeni made a bad joke calling into question Lee's priorities as a father.
