The timing and content of his texts and calls to Ellen and others immediately before and after the death are all highly suspicious. You don't actually seem to much about the case. You should probably spend your time learning more before coming here to argue idiotic points that make no sense. We can tell you REALLY don't want him to face charges and you really want others to agree that's unlikely. |
You seem very angry. I’m just following along a true crime(?) mystery. This is DCUM, good grief. I have admittedly not spent years of my life examining the evidence. But you seem obsessed with my opinion. Weird! |
What articles or sites, if any, have you read on this topic? Have you even read the article linked in the OP. Highly doubt it. |
Listening to crime junkies episode at this moment. (How is this podcast so popular?!? But that’s for another thread). Also mainly the philadelphia inquirer and local news. Like I said, this is not my life’s work |
Ok Sam's mom. Sorry your son is a dirtbag. |
It’s literally comical that you think this. Bc I think you are related to Ellen lol |
Look at this website, watch the videos. Then come back, okay? https://gavinfish.com/cases/ellen-greenberg/ |
I'm not but I wouldn't be ashamed to be. She didn't do anything wrong except have fatally awful taste in men. |
Didn’t you get the memo? We’re supposed to ignore facts and logic and just accept that Ellen was an unhinged crazy woman whose medically induced suicide has unfairly left poor, innocent Sam under a cloud of suspicion. |

I bring the perspective of lifelong experience with domestic violence, and 3 decades in the criminal law system as victim advocate, public defender, prosecutor.
Given the totality of the evidence (I know the case as well as any person with access to publicly available evidence could) I think it is absurd that anybody believes this was a suicide. Many wife and girlfriend murderers are doing hard time in prison on less evidence than this. Sam is a murderer who has thus far gotten away with it. Sadly, I don’t know if Larry Krasner could brings charges against him in the absence of a change in the ME’s office position on manner of death. The parents have been trying to force that change but legally cannot, the courts have ruled. The courts indicate the belief that a murder occurred here. https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/ellen-greenberg-parents-philadelphia-pennsylvania-civil-lawsuit-ruling-20230913.html?outputType=amp Incidentally I have just been watching the excellent POV documentary series Philly DA about the election of Larry Krasner to the DAs office and the reforms he has been implementing and the corruption he has been uncovering in the Philly police, DAs office culture and in the courts system. Given the culture there which is longstanding, I have no doubt whatsoever that an influential or wealthy family could buy their kid out of a homicide investigation, but given the cases that Krasner has uncovered and shed light on, it is also well within the realm of possibility that Philly homicide ‘detectives’ just massively bungled this all on their own. |
| As an aside, for anyone who lacks inside understanding of the criminal justice system and wants to understand the issues and the science and policy behind progressive prosecution, I cannot more highly recommend the documentary series Philly DA. It’s an excellent exploration of the many issues facing all American cities grappling with violent crime and the dysfunctions of our criminal justice system under the predominant policies of our lifetimes. |

As a flaming liberal myself and a Philadelphian, Larry Krasner actually sucks. And I think you’re giving way too much credit to Philadelphia elected officials if you think there was a coverup. There is corruption and ineptitude but I don’t but for one second that there was a buy off or coverup by anyone except possibly a coverup by a murderer here.
Larry was previously hired by Ellen’s family so he can’t take action and that is why he referred the matter to the AG. The documentary you mention is fascinating and sad but also misleading. And I say this as someone who thinks the system is broken and Lynn Abraham also sucked. Larry needs to go. |
| And yes, this case was bungled by the police. To such a degree and so much time has passed, there will never be charges |

Actually no, that’s not the memo. The memo is that this case makes no sense either way and we may never know what happened. |
