Summary

This episode features continuing coverage from inside the civil trial of Abby Zwerner v. Ebony Parker — the case that’s forcing a Virginia courtroom to confront how many warnings were ignored before a teacher was shot by her six-year-old student.

Each day’s proceedings bring new testimony, evidence, and revelations about what happened inside Richneck Elementary School on January 6, 2023 — and the administrative failures that followed.

You’ll hear unfiltered courtroom audio, direct from the trial, as attorneys for Abby Zwerner seek $40 million in damages against former assistant principal Ebony Parker, accused of negligence so severe it nearly cost a teacher her life.

Hidden Killers brings you the voices, the arguments, and the raw sound of justice in progress — as a jury decides whether silence and inaction inside a public school can rise to the level of legal accountability.
