  1. How does a surgeon not have the cognitive skills to understand the concept of surveillance cameras. Or that you need to get rid of evidence. Not ride around with it in your car?? He still thinks he is getting away with this somehow too I would bet.

  2. Those guys in the big house are gonna LUV Dr Tampa Bay’s pretty face…

  3. He will get special treatment for being a surgeon. Should have been banned from posting those videos online also.

  4. That lawyer is 41? That's a hard 41. RIP.

  5. Reporter: "Is he cooperating with authorities?"
    Attorney:"i have no comment."

  6. No matter how intelligent ppl are. Everyone knows in 2023 there are cameras everywhere. We all watch CSI. U just can’t get away with it

  7. You’ll didn’t stop him until now?

  8. What parent says he had the marriage any parent wishes for their son when he married Michael…. What 😮

  9. Why does the victim look 20 years older than his real age……..grainy photo?

  10. Also check Cambell bridge and Howard Franklin…i heard bridge..first what sounded like Hillsborough…then i hear the Cambell,Howard Franklin..My Apologies🙏

  11. Same thing happened to John Travolta in “Face Off”

  12. Reminds me of the disappearance of Khashoggi. The cart with the big sack on it was a bit conspicuous. 😔

  13. He’s smart enough to be a surgeon and this bad at crime? 🧐

  14. lolololol nerd…..wasted your life ..

  15. the surgeon probably did a 'Kashioggi' on the lawyer, they'll never find the body.

  16. The doctor went to down on his friend.

  17. A friend of mine knew Steve personally and after this came out he wrote this about him:

    “Steve was smart. He always has the last inevitably hilarious last word. He was the friend that would text to make sure you were okay, or to tell you that he was thinking of you. But with a slightest bit of wit every touch he made to reach out made you smile. He was so funny. Like. Spit take funny. Over time he saw me through some hard times personally and always reminded me what he saw in me. Heart and Talent. I will never forget your laugh.”

  18. Huh? Just curious. Why would anyone’s first reaction be: Did he wonder off? Did he hit his head? … Why go in that direction?

  19. Another Jamal Kashoggi case…

  20. My gosh you know things are bad in America when doctors start killing lawyers.

  21. Either he gave the lawyer a face lift, and he is still walking around. Or he cut him into pieces.

  22. Married the love of his life 🤔 hmmm
    Sounds like a someone got there booty tickle

  23. Florida be tripping. Glad I move to Hawaii

  24. Whoa, he aged 15yrs at least in that mugshot😅

  25. All of the reports on this case are so convoluted the best we can figure out is the plastic surgeon worked at a different place and he didn't get paid for a lot of his surgeries because of the billing department so he sued the billing department and the missing lawyer represented the people he was
    Suing… So apparently this lawyer was Defending him being ripped off for tons of money and he couldn't get Justice so he just took it into his own hands…….the wages of sin is death… I have dealt with some evil lawyers i guess he just pushed this man to the limit…

  26. Lawyers are always suing others for peanuts 🥜 in this case that lawyer paid the ultimate price . Not worth it suing crazy people , this is not the doctors first time killing someone. There are human bones all over the Everglades , the gators eat it all but the bones

  27. He thought he was Viola Davis

  28. He's a doctor, so he can take the body apart… sad

  29. Doctor Slice and Dice took his Lawyer Apart, one slimy piece at a Time, spread his body all over the state.

  30. Check under the Hillsborough bridge for Mr.Kosi

  31. What is it w/ these "doctors" who think they can get away w/ murder?…

  32. Cocaine and drugs make you do crazy stuff

  33. Can still be charged with murder if there is no evidence he's been murdered or how he's been murdered.

  34. Wow I’m from this area and this is so tragic however nothing surprises especially in st.Pete Clearwater or largo they call it Florida crazy’s for a reason glad I moved and prayers to the lawyers family correction

  35. Dude,,, you should have watched the OJ Simpson trail.

  36. I'm not an investigator. But the unidentified man killed the lawyer

  37. Were they undercover lovers though

  38. Hahaha. Good for you , loser !
