Defense Attorney, Bob Motta, Breaks Down the Torture That Ruby Franke Inflicted on Her Children

8m · Malevolent Mormon Mommys | The Case Against Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt · 03 Jan 16:00

In a shocking twist that leaves many grappling with disbelief, Ruby Franke, the once-celebrated mommy blogger of "8 Passengers," has pled guilty to an appalling series of child abuse crimes. A recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, dove deep into the case with insights from Bob Motta, a noted defense attorney. Their discussion revealed a harrowing tale of abuse and manipulation that has left the public reeling.
Franke, along with Jodi Hildebrandt, stood accused of perpetrating a range of abuses on her children. The plea agreement, a document typically required by the court to outline the evidence against a defendant, laid bare the extent of these atrocities. The list included forcing children to endure physically exhausting punishments, denying them food and water, isolating them from others, and inflicting physical harm, including kicking and smothering.
Motta pointed out the strategic move behind Franke's guilty plea. Given the gravity and volume of evidence, most notably the testimonies of her own children, a trial seemed an insurmountable challenge for the defense. The potential sentence Franke faces is daunting, with each count carrying a range of 1 to 15 years, potentially served consecutively. This decision to plead guilty likely stemmed from the desire to reduce the severity of her sentence and to spare her children the trauma of a public trial.
The discussion also touched upon the role of Jodi Hildebrandt, though her relationship with Franke remains murky. Motta emphasized that regardless of her association with Hildebrandt, Franke’s primary role as a mother was to protect her children, a duty she egregiously failed. Her actions were not only criminal but a gross violation of parental responsibility.
The court of public opinion has been swift and severe in its judgment. Franke's once-admired persona as a loving mother has been irrevocably tainted. The case stands as a stark reminder of the potential for darkness hidden behind a screen.
According to Motta, Franke's legal team likely advised her to plead guilty as the best strategic move under the circumstances. Facing a trial with strong evidence against her would have not only increased the likelihood of a harsher sentence but also subjected her children to the ordeal of testifying against their mother.
As the legal proceedings progress towards the sentencing phase, questions loom over the extent of the punishment Franke will receive. Her guilty plea, while strategic, also serves as an admission of the horrific acts she committed against her children. The court's decision will be closely watched, as it will set a precedent for how such egregious cases of child abuse are handled legally.
In conclusion, the case of Ruby Franke presents a chilling narrative of how a seemingly idyllic family life can mask a reality of unimaginable abuse. It raises profound questions about the responsibility of parents, the trust we place in public figures, and the mechanisms of justice in confronting such heinous acts. The final question remains: How will the legal system balance the need for justice with the
complexities of a case that has shocked and appalled a nation?

Between a Rock and a Hildebrandt: Kevin Franke's Cluelessness Unveiled

In an episode that reads more like a thriller novel than a family court case, "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" delves into the twisted tale of Ruby Franke and Kevin Franke, with Robin Dreeke lending his expertise on the bewildering dynamics at play. Here's a snapshot of the conversation, distilled into its most eyebrow-raising essence:

Kevin Franke's Cluelessness: A bewildering state of apparent ignorance concerning the depth of dysfunction and alleged abuse happening under Jody Hildebrandt's roof. The question hangs: Is ignorance bliss or just plain ignorance?
The Formation of an Anti-Male Cult: Ruby Franke and Jody Hildebrandt, described as creating a vortex of unhealthy behavior, seemingly manifested an anti-male agenda, with Kevin as a bystander—or perhaps, a casualty.
Legal Lapses and Parental Passivity: Kevin Franke's baffling lack of legal action to reclaim his children from what many would consider a volatile situation raises more than a few eyebrows and questions about parental responsibility—or the lack thereof.
Paranormal Deflections: When faced with serious allegations of child abuse, Kevin's recourse to paranormal activities as a distraction—or explanation—adds an eerie layer to an already complex case.
The Cult-like Dynamics: Echoing notorious cult activities, the Franke case seems to check all the boxes: charismatic leadership, isolation, exploitation, and a hint of sexual undertones, painting a grim picture of manipulation and control.
A Failure to Act: Kevin's inaction, potentially driven by fear or manipulation, stands as a stark reminder of how powerful groupthink and cult-like influence can be, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable.
