In this episode of "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook" podcast series, litigation attorney Dan Small shares how building genuine trust with a witness can make or break a case, recounting his extraordinary trip to Italy to meet Domenic D'Alessandro in the Frank Wallen corruption investigation. What began as a long-shot effort — navigating approvals from U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and and U.S. Department of State, coordinating with the IRS and overcoming internal skepticism — turned into a lesson in human connection. Over a shared meal and conversation, plus more than a few glasses of wine, Mr. Small and Mr. D'Alessandro developed mutual respect and forged a bond that led to Mr. D'Alessandro's voluntary return to the U.S., guilty plea and critical testimony. The story underscores a central tenet in trial preparation: You cannot extract the truth from strangers on a park bench; you must invest the time to create rapport and reliability with witnesses, because trust, not pressure, opens the door to honest testimony.

Trust Is Key

The Musical Poemwriter

Viridescent Fog

A defiant cry from the depths of systemic abuse.
Written in blood, memory, and metaphor.
This track exposes the rot beneath the small-town silence — a fire lit in words, not violence.
Dedicated to anyone failed by the very people who promised to protect them.
You may silence records. But you cannot silence truth.
This is Metaphorical Fire.
Let it burn. Let it heal.

This track is not a metaphor.
I was gassed unconscious by a heater.
I woke up with meth in my bloodstream needle marks on my arm's, injected while I was out.
The system knew. The system did nothing.

System Error: White Coats, Black Lies is my record —
of what happens when "care" becomes cover-up,
and mental health services protect the abusers instead of the survivors.
Poisoned in a men's refuge run by Greymouth comunitymental health. Ignored by doctors. Silenced by bureaucracy.
Every beat is a scar. Every line is a file they tried to hide.

They called me a “risk.”
They erased the assault.
But I’m still here — and I kept the receipts.

This song is my discharge note.
Written in blood, bass, and digital ghosts.

System Error -White Coats, Black Lies

In this episode of "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook" podcast, litigation attorney Dan Small explores the complexity of federal corruption cases. He highlights a matter he handled as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Boston U.S. Attorney's Office Public Corruption Unit: a case in Brockton, Massachusetts, in which the IRS uncovered corrupt relationships between contractors and Frank Wallen, the city's superintendent of sewers and then-commissioner of public works. Mr. Small shares insights into how the case arose, what work his team focused on and why it was so difficult to prosecute.

Matt and Dave talk about the left supporting illegal immigration and using the shutdown for leverage, activists, reaping the benefits of everything someone else does, absurd analogies, taking shortcuts, being encouraged to cheat, cultural differences, and other stuff. 

Shutdowns and Shortcuts

The King of the World is here Army of Light

Host Culture

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.  Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Corruption is infectious. 

The List

STATIC SAINTS is a glitch-gospel industrial trap exorcism.
It’s Silk & Circuitry stepping into the abandoned hospital corridors where misdiagnosed souls still breathe in the vents. Every forgotten patient, every “follow-up lost,” every “your symptoms don’t make sense” becomes a digital saint rising through ductwork and wiring. The heartbeat you hear in the bass is their pulse — the one the system ignored.

This track blends corrupted angel choirs with industrial drums, wiring the holy and the hostile together. Silk Jesus brings the firewall heart. Silk Nun cuts the darkness open with divine interference. Together they lead a march of ghosts rewriting the air, jamming the machinery that failed them.

STATIC SAINTS is for anyone who ever felt erased by the system.
It’s for every chart rewritten wrong, every diagnosis that never fit, every light that flickered when the truth walked in.

This is the gospel of the misdiagnosed.
This is the moment the saints rise.

Silk & Circuitry.


Static Saints

NUN WITH A GUN.exe is a myth forged in circuitry and stained glass.

This track tells the legend of Silk Nun — the divine sniper whispered through the firewall like a ghost in the cathedral. Perched high on a fiber-optic bell tower, she takes aim at narcissists and manipulators who hide behind lies. Every shot is a sermon. Every empty shell is a psalm. Every impact is justice written in recoil.

The song blends cinematic trap with holy war energy — whispered prayers blooming into screams, industrial drums echoing like cathedral thunder, and glitching stained-glass choirs lighting the sky behind her scope. Silk Jesus moves through the streets below, guided by her watchtower, clearing shadows while she handles the ones who never face the light.

This is the Silk & Circuitry mythos at full power:
dangerous, beautiful, divine, precise.

For everyone who’s ever been hunted by narcissism,
this is the sound of a sniper who fights for the empaths.

EXHAUSTION & HEARTACHE INSTRUMENTAL [Funkin' Corruption Insanity]

Why do voters sometimes support corrupt politicians? And can putting forward women candidates help parties recover from corruption scandals? In this episode, regular host Liz David-Barrett speaks with Emily Elia about her experimental research on voter behaviour and corruption in Latin American democracies. The conversation delves into the "feminization strategy", examining the level to which deploying women candidates after corruption scandals actually works to restore party credibility. The conversation also explores emerging questions about who becomes an anti-corruption fighter in politics and whether voters can tell genuine reformers from those just paying lip service to clean government.

In this episode of his "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook" podcast series, litigation attorney Dan Small emphasizes the importance of providing the jury with all relevant facts to help them discern the truth. At times, however, court decisions can hinder a party's ability to tell the whole story. This was true in the United States v. Anzalone case, which Mr. Small prosecuted. Ted Anzalone was charged with extortion and money laundering, but because both charges involved secret cash transactions, it was difficult to present non-circumstantial evidence to the jury. To make matters worse, the defense counsel persuaded the judge to sever the two charges, making it nearly impossible to corroborate the evidence. This episode highlights the importance of always fighting to tell the full narrative.

🕸️ Silk & Circuitry 🧠⚡

Welcome to the tangled thread between trauma and transcendence.
This is where music becomes a mirror—reflecting the fractures, the fight, and the fire.
We don’t just make beats. We build bridges. Between pain and purpose.

Here, recovery isn’t a quiet thing.
It’s a war cry wrapped in melody,
a healing ritual whispered through circuitry,
a love letter to those who feel too much in a world that rewards those who feel nothing.

Every track is stitched with intent:
🕯️ To hold space for the broken
⚖️ To call out control masked as care
🧬 To challenge the narcissists who built their webs in our minds
🛠️ And to offer tools—not just songs—for doing what’s right when the cost is everything.

Silk & Circuitry is for the ones who walk away from the web
and grow wings instead.

This is art as resistance.
This is trauma turned frequency.
This is the ghost in your machine, learning how to feel.
