Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

On this Friday, on what would’ve been Hayden Panetierre’s 37th birthday, statements are flying and fingers are pointing surrounding the untimely death of the young actress. Panetierre’s abusive on-again-off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson released a statement via his attorney pointing out there were no signs of foul play, but acknowledged her death remains under investigation. Meantime, her mother continued to defect any blame about her role in her “estranged” daughter’s death by continuing to point the finger at Hickerson. This comes as several celebrities went public with their feelings towards Hayden’s mom, along with a public apology of sorts from Neutrogena, which has come under fire for its decision to end a decade-long relationship with Hayden following her public acknowledgment she was suffering from postpartum depression.

Jurors and the world heard, for the very first time, defendant Duane Davis confessing to police who he claimed shot and killed Tupac Shakur on the Vegas Strip 30 years ago. Davis is heard on tape telling detectives about what happened that night and his role in the murder right after police assure him “Nothing you say today can be used against you” and that “nothing leaves this room” in a deal that had to anger family and friends of Shakur. Police knew ALL this time who shot and killed Shakur, and we’re only now hearing about it? Davis’ defense continues to be that their client was lying to police, lying in interviews, and lying in his memoir about his role in the crime.

Another shortened day of testimony that packed a punch in the courtroom. The drama began before the one and only witness of the day, as hundreds of women all dressed in pink with messages on their t-shirts showing support for Lindsay Clancy gathered outside the courthouse for a silent rally. Jurors had to be questioned one-by-one in a sidebar with the judge per the prosecution’s request. After that, the defense put a hospital chaplain on the stand who testified Lindsay’s first words to her were that she was glad her children were safe. She also testified that Lindsay told her a voice told her if she did not follow the command neither she nor her children would be safe.

Attorneys for an unnamed woman have released a statement maintaining their client was sexually harassed and assaulted by California Democrat, Representative Jimmy Gomez. Earlier in the week, we told you about a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged inappropriate sexual conduct by Gomez, and when the Congressman released a statement reacting to the investigation, he acknowledged he made “mistakes” in his marriage, but insisted they were were consensual and not in violation of House Ethics rules.  The accuser’s attorneys made it very clear in their statement, this was NOT a consensual situation.

It was a surprisingly short day in court, but it was a powerful one for the defense. Dr. Paul Zeizel told jurors that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and that she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. Also, the judge in the case ruled a TikToker could not be called as a witness in the case and then abruptly and mysteriously ended court early, saying there was an “unforeseen circumstance” that they “did not see coming.”

It was a fascinating day in court as day two of testimony continued in the murder trial against Duane Davis, the former gang leader who prosecutors say orchestrated the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur 30 years ago. Another rival gang member took the stand and declared himself a hostile witness, refusing, hilariously at times, to say anything incriminating against Davis. Meantime, the medical examiner showed jurors and the courtroom never before seen autopsy photos of Shakur, prompting several family members to leave the courtroom.

It was another emotional, and at times contentious day as the defense continues to call witnesses to the stand to prove Lindsay Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her three young children. Clancy’s former mother-in-law took the stand and described what she witnessed from Lindsay in the months leading up to the murders, testifying she was begging for help and desperately wanted to get better.  The prosecution pushed back, and at one point after asking Susan Clancy about her Catholic faith, asked if she realized that murder is considered a mortal sin.  The judge told jurors to disregard the question, but the prosecution continued its argumentative questioning of several defense medical experts throughout the day.

As we record this episode, Florida state officials are in the final stages of preparing 61-Year-Old William Frances Silvia for execution. Silvia is set to die by lethal injection for the 2006 murder of his estranged wife, Patricia and the attempted murder of her mom. Silvia lost his job, his home, then decided to purchase a shotgun before heading to the home of his estranged wife’s mother to try and reconcile with her, ultimately shooting her mom first, then killing Patricia in front of her family. There are two more executions scheduled in Florida in the coming weeks, putting the state on pace to have another record breaking year in executions.
