True Crime Reality

24-year-old Alleigha Botner is back on the stand today after three, dramatic hours on Wednesday afternoon. Botner is testifying against her former lover, Caleb Flynn, who now stands accused of killing his wife of 15 years to be with her. Botner testified about their year and a half long affair that began while she was an intern at the church they both attended, and read aloud dozens of hateful texts about wanting to kill his now deceased wife, Ashley while her family listened from the courtroom.

A federal judge has granted journalists a temporary restraining order forcing the White House to restore press credentials to CNN, MSNOW and Politico. The order requires the White House to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” the credentials, after the judge rejected the DOJ’s argument that the ban was motivated by “national security concerns.” As Trump continues his all out war against reporting he doesn’t like, we end this episode with a very important reminder of the importance of a free press by a former President.

A disturbing family feud has erupted following the death of Dolly Parton. Parton’s longtime manager has now filed for a temporary restraining order against the late singer's nephew, Bryan Seaver, the man she chose to announce her death to the world just a few weeks ago. Seaver was fired from his decades-long held position as head of security after Parton’s manager claims Seaver began "invoking his self-proclaimed military-contractor experience, access to weapons, and capacity for violence" to extort money from the estate. Seaver hasn’t denied the threats, but claims they’ve been taken out of context.

It was a hell of a day at the United Nations for President Trump and everyone listening. Trump began by telling CNN that they shouldn’t be covering him at the UN after banning the news organization’s access, and then told the world they shouldn’t be calling AI, “Artificial” Intelligence. Trump essentially  issued a world-wide decree to change the name to “Super” Intelligence, or SI and said he opposed international regulation of the technology. The President also threatened to annihilate the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling them the bullies of the Middle East and questioned whether or not he would “drive them into hell.”

The Greenville, South Carolina Coroner’s Office has just announced that Hayden Panettiere’s cause of death has been ruled as an accident from the toxic effects of multiple drugs. The office specified that fentanyl, 4-ANPP, Alprazolam, Methocarbamol, and Quetiapine were all found in Panettiere, but added there were no signs of trauma that contributed to her death. This announcement doesn’t mean charges won’t be filed, as the DEA continues to investigate Panettiere’s death and who may have been responsible for supplying the deadly combination of drugs to her.
