Aleida appeared as an expert on TikTok Star Murders

A Peacock TV Original True Crime Documentary

Ali and Ana Abulaban appeared to have it all. Young, beautiful, and successful, the world was at their feet, or so it seemed. Ali was a talented TikTok star doing impersonations with nearly one million followers. But everything online was not as it appeared. Under the surface was a struggling relationship, full of domestic violence, and Ali was filming it all.

Narcissism, addiction, and crippling jealousy all play a role in Ali’s desire for control and fame, while Ana seeks independence and a happy life for her and her daughter. The relationship disintegrates, and in October of 2021, the abuse takes a deadly turn that leaves two people dead, and another facing a lifetime behind bars. 

Aleida attended all the court hearings and criminal trial, and appears as a legal expert in this riveting documentary.

In a trial that captured the nation, a former NFL star with fame, fortune, and the name stands accused of rape and other sex crimes. At one time, Kellen Boswell Winslow II had it all. Born into football royalty, the namesake son of legendary football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, he too achieved football stardom. As he set records, received prestigious honors, and over 40 million during his decade in the NFL, he seemed unstoppable. With his extreme wealth, stunning wife, and beautiful children, Kellen Winslow II’s life seemed perfect. But was there another side to him? According to five accusers there was, and if they were to be believed, it was a dark, frightening side.

As Kellen Winslow II’s trial began in a San Diego courtroom, he faced the five accusers in a 12-count consolidated criminal case against him, searing charges holding the potential for a life sentence. Kidnapping, rape and oral copulation of a 54-year-old hitchhiker, rape and sodomy of a 59-year-old homeless woman he had befriended, rape of an unconscious 17-year-old at a house party (when Winslow II was a 19-year old college student), indecent exposure to a 57-year-old neighbor gardening in her front yard, and lewd acts before a 77-year-old woman at a gym. Ugly charges to be sure, but were they true? And how had it come to this?

As the trial delved into shocking facts, complicated legal issues, and unexpected twists and turns, Aleida was there for every minute. She provided her insight and expertise on Court TV and the Law & Crime Trial Network, and now in her new book, she takes you behind the headlines and shares the extraordinary details of what really happened. Was Kellen Winslow II a depraved, sexual predator, preying on the most vulnerable of women as the prosecution contended? Or was consent freely given and claims cruelly fabricated by opportunistic women seeking financial gain from a wealthy superstar as the defense maintained? Were the elderly women simply mistaken about identity and to what had truly transpired? Did overzealous law enforcement and nonstop media coverage contribute in some way to false claims?  You will find out the answers and more as Aleida takes you inside the courtroom in this unbelievable and unforgettable trial.

On October 15, 2016, a pickup truck fell out of the sky, twisting midair as if in a movie, before nosediving to the ground, crushing all life  beneath it.  It was 3:33 in the afternoon and worlds were shattered. Richard Sepolio, a 25-year-old Navy petty officer had just crashed his truck off the world-famous Coronado Bridge into Chicano Park, killing 4 people and seriously injuring 7 others. Over a thousand people were in the park that day enjoying a festive motorcycle rally when without warning death fell on them from above. Was Richard Sepolio under the influence of alcohol that terrible day or was there some other cause? As his trial began on January 14, 2019, Aleida covered this heartbreaking, gripping, and complicated trial gavel-to-gavel, providing legal analysis on Fox 5, ABC 10, and KUSI News.
