Ok, some of you may be thinking, what’s an extra half mile when you already ran 26.2…. we’re here to tell you it’s HUGE. Even a few extra feet can feel soul crushing, but for the 10 thousand runners at the Edmonton marathon, that extra distance could be the difference between qualifying for the next race or not. After thousands of runners complained their GPS didn’t match with the official race distance, officials pushed back for days, but ultimately re-traced the route and admitted their mistake. The big question now, how will race organizers adjust run times to make it right?

We are learning more details surrounding the sudden and shocking death of 36-year-old Hayden Panetierre.  Audio from dispatchers who arrived at the scene are heard describing “cardiac arrest” and “possible overdose." While police reports confirm her on-again-off-again abusive boyfriend, Brian Hickerson was with her at the time of her death, making the 9-1-1 call, Hayden’s mom is speaking out about their relationship. Even though Hayden and her mom were not on speaking terms, she maintains that she and Hayden’s dad had been trying to Hickerson out of Hayden’s life for “quite some time.”

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.

Here we go again, as we add another congressman to a growling list of lawmakers accused of inappropriate sexual conduct. This time, it’s Democrat Jimmy Gomez from California, and while he admits to having made “mistakes outside his marriage” he insists he did not violate house ethics rules.  He says this because, the “mistakes” he’s referring to occurred with a House staffer, just not HIS staffer. It’s a loophole in the ethics rules, but the committee is looking into whether the incidents were consensual or unwelcome.

Georgia democrat Jon Ossoff made a comment that has set off a political firestorm, publicly mocking President Trump’s relationship with his executive assistant, Natalie Harp.  Ossoff insinuated there was an inappropriate closeness between Harp and Trump, and his comments came on the heels of a new book by New York Times reporters who quoted sources saying Trump believes Harp loves him as much as his wife and kids. When CNN reporter Kristen Holmes asked Trump about Ossoff’s comments, it created another layer to the controversy, with Trump and administration officials publicly eviscerating the journalist as a “disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment.”

Opening statements and testimony began in the trial against Duane Davis, charged with the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur. While prosectors acknowledge Davis was not the actual gunman, they claim he was the mastermind behind the murder and supplied the gun used to kill Shakur. The defense showed jurors a large slide with a single word on it: “Bullshit” and said their client was known for embellishing and lying about things. And that’s important, because it’s the only way for the defense to refute the prosecution’s evidence, which is Davis’ own repeated statements, confessions and written words about what happened that night on the Vegas Strip.
