  Christa Pike's Failed Execution: One Doctor, Two Botched Attempts, Murdaugh Says the State Hid a Police Chief's Role, TJ Wiggins Faces Death 02.10.2026 16Min.

  Christa Gail Pike remains hospitalized two days after Tennessee failed to execute her, and her attorneys say they still have not been told her condition. Dr. Mark Walton Fowler, the contract physician who publicly confirmed he would oversee her execution, was also the physician involved in Tennessee's halted execution of Tony Carruthers in May; Carruthers's sister has filed a Department of Health complaint alleging malpractice, and no disciplinary action has been announced. The state's written protocol directs a second set of syringes if the first fails but says nothing about what happens if the second fails too. Robin Maher of the Death Penalty Information Center calls it unlike any botched execution in the modern era. Gov. Bill Lee has ordered a third-party review. In Florida, a Polk County jury convicted Tony Lee "TJ" Wiggins Jr. of first-degree murder in the 2020 killings of Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield, and is now hearing whether to recommend death. And Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have moved to compel records, saying the state has held a witness statement since 2023 that a police chief handled the never-recovered murder weapons.

  Tennessee Fails to Execute Christa Pike for Colleen Slemmer's Murder, Two Doses and She Survived, Governor Halts All 2026 Executions 01.10.2026 18Min.

  Tennessee failed to execute Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday night. After the Sixth Circuit stayed her execution an hour before its scheduled 10 a.m. start and the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that stay hours later, the state administered two doses of pentobarbital — the maximum its protocol allows — and Pike, 50, remained alive. Media witnesses reported she was still breathing more than 40 minutes later. She was taken by ambulance to a hospital, and her attorneys say they still have not been told her condition. Gov. Bill Lee has paused the state's remaining 2026 executions and called for a comprehensive third-party review. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 torture killing of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville; she was 18 at the time, and her lawyers had warned a blood disorder created a substantial risk of a prolonged and painful execution. Also: Judge William Sullivan is weighing a motion that would end the Lindsay Clancy case permanently, and former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell is asking to move his federal trial out of Massachusetts days before jury selection in the death of Sandra Birchmore, 23.

  GUILTY: Caleb Flynn Convicted in Ashley Flynn's Murder, Jury Out Under Three Hours, Lindsay Clancy Hearing Ends With No Decision 30.09.2026 17Min.

  A Miami County, Ohio, jury convicted Caleb Flynn, 40, on Tuesday of aggravated murder and every other count in the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, a middle school volleyball coach and mother of two. Jurors deliberated under three hours after a trial that began Sept. 18 and heard from more than 40 witnesses. Prosecutors argued Flynn shot his wife as she slept and staged the scene as a burglary, pointing to a garage door damaged only from the inside, his own missing handgun, phone activity during the hours he told police he was asleep, and more than 100,000 messages with a worship leader at his church, who has not been charged. Flynn, who quietly wept as Judge Jeannine Pratt read the verdict, faces up to life without parole; sentencing is scheduled for next week. Also: Lindsay Clancy returned to Plymouth Superior Court for the first time since her Sept. 4 mistrial and left with nothing decided — no ruling, no trial date, and no word from DA Timothy Cruz on whether he will retry her in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. And prosecutors closed their capital case against Tony "TJ" Wiggins in the Frostproof killings of Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield.

  GUILTY: Surgeon Tomasz Kosowski Convicted in Steven Cozzi Murder, Won't Fight for His Own Life, Caleb Flynn's Mistress Reads the Texts 29.09.2026 16Min.

  Plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, 47, was convicted of first-degree murder last Wednesday in the 2023 killing of Largo attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, after representing himself, waiving his right to a jury, and putting on no defense. Judge Joseph Bulone deliberated about 15 minutes. Kosowski then declined counsel for the penalty phase and said he will present no mitigating evidence; a Spencer hearing is set for Oct. 8, after which Bulone alone will decide between life without parole and death. In Ohio, Alleigha Botner, 24, testified for two days in the trial of Caleb Flynn, 40, the former American Idol contestant charged in the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37 — reading aloud from roughly 107,000 messages and telling jurors she now hates him because she believes he killed his wife. Flynn has pleaded not guilty; Botner has not been charged. And in Lake County, Florida, jurors recommended life for Vickie Lynn Williams, 53, convicted of the New Year's Eve 2022 murders of Darryl and Sharon Getman at a Mount Dora retirement community; Judge Cary Rada imposed consecutive life terms.

  The Tylenol Murders: Idaho Names the 'Unknown Wanderer', Illinois Investigators Say No, and the Seven Victims Nobody Names 28.09.2026 17Min.

  Mary Kellerman was twelve years old when her parents gave her an Extra-Strength Tylenol capsule on the morning of September 29, 1982. She died that morning. Within three days, six more people in the Chicago area were dead: Adam, Stanley and Theresa Janus, Mary McFarland, Paula Prince and Mary Reiner. Seven people, poisoned by potassium cyanide packed into capsules on a drugstore shelf, and no one has ever been charged. The foil seal on every bottle in every American medicine cabinet exists because of them. Forty-four years later, a sheriff's office in Idaho has identified the "Unknown Wanderer," a man who died by cyanide poisoning under a church pew in Boise two months after the killings, and laid out circumstances it says warrant scrutiny — while stating plainly it is not naming him a suspect and cannot place him in Chicago that week. Illinois investigators who worked the original case say the cyanide was a different compound, the DNA did not match, and the task force ruled him out decades ago. Garret Fisher on what actually happened in 1982, why no one was ever prosecuted, and what it costs to name a man who cannot answer.Join our new FB groups page here.

  Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 15 Years for Miriam Haley, Lindsay Clancy Double Jeopardy Bid, Elizabeth Holmes Halfway House Date Set 25.09.2026 17Min.

  Harvey Weinstein, 74, was sentenced Wednesday in Manhattan to 15 years in prison for the 2006 sexual assault of production assistant Miriam Haley, followed by five years of supervised release and sex-offender registration. Judge Curtis Farber told him he took what he wanted by force and had never accepted responsibility; Haley, in her victim impact statement, said it is a life sentence for her. Weinstein, who denies the allegations, has now been through two trials, a reversal and two hung juries on the Jessica Mann count since his 2020 conviction. In Massachusetts, lawyers for Lindsay Clancy — charged in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, and never convicted or acquitted after this month's mistrial — moved to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds and asked Judge William Sullivan to examine the holdout juror's phone records. And Elizabeth Holmes has been approved for transfer to a halfway house outside Austin on Aug. 23, 2027, with a Bureau of Prisons release date of Feb. 22, 2030.

  Caleb Flynn Trial for Ashley Flynn: The Dogs Didn't Bark, Kosowski Verdict Watch in Steven Cozzi Case, Brother Recants in Frostproof 24.09.2026 17Min.

  Caleb Flynn, 40, the former music pastor and American Idol contestant on trial in Miami County, Ohio, for the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, heard her family testify against him this week. Ashley's sister, Kayla Keyt, and her father, Todd Smith, described the family business Ashley was set to inherit and the break-in story they never believed — Smith told jurors the family's dogs would have barked. On cross-examination, a Tipp City police captain testified that the woman identified in court as Flynn's mistress lost her work laptop and phone on a trip in January, before investigators ever examined them. Flynn has pleaded not guilty and is charged with aggravated murder, two counts of felonious assault and three counts of tampering with evidence. In Pinellas County, Florida, plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, 47, who is representing himself in a death-penalty bench trial in the killing of Largo attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, pressed for courtroom demonstrations to show Cozzi's body could not have been lifted into a truck; Judge Joseph Bulone refused. And in Polk County, William Wiggins recanted on the stand in the capital trial of his brother, Tony "TJ" Wiggins, who has pleaded not guilty in the 2020 killings of Damion Tillman, 23, Brandon Rollins, 27, and Keven Springfield, 30, near Frostproof — testifying that he had told investigators "whatever they wanted to hear."

  Richard Allen Delphi Appeal for Abby & Libby, Caleb Flynn Trial for Ashley Flynn, Tomasz Kosowski Trial for Steven Cozzi 23.09.2026 19Min.

  Richard Allen, convicted in 2024 of murdering Abigail "Abby" Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana, asked the Indiana Court of Appeals for a new trial on Monday. His lawyers argue that the more than 60 incriminating statements prosecutors say he made were produced by psychosis during months of pretrial solitary confinement at Westville Correctional Facility. The state says his key confessions came while he was lucid. One judge on the panel replied, "You protected him into psychosis." No ruling has been issued. In Tipp City, Ohio, former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn, 40, is on trial in the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, a middle school volleyball coach. He has pleaded not guilty and told police an intruder broke in; prosecutors say his devices and the garage door contradict that account. In Pinellas County, Florida, plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, 47, is representing himself in a death-penalty bench trial in the disappearance and killing of attorney Steven Cozzi, 41. He has pleaded not guilty and has begun questioning the state's witnesses. Garret Fisher reports.Join our new FB groups page here.

  Matthew Exton Sentenced to Up to 24½ Years, a New Trial Denied for Gerhardt Konig, and Tomasz Kosowski Starts Cross-Examining 22.09.2026 22Min.

  Matthew Exton, 43, a former attorney convicted of attempting to shoot his ex-wife at the opening night of Sabira restaurant in Toledo, was sentenced Monday by Lucas County Judge Gary Cook. Exton tried to fire his attorney the morning of the hearing, then told the court that pointing a loaded gun at his ex-wife was not harm because it did not fire. Cook played the surveillance video, saying it showed Exton trying to disengage the safety after the gun failed — the moment that "cements the intent." Exton says he will appeal. Also: Judge Paul Wong denied Dr. Gerhardt Konig's motion for a new trial after questioning all twelve jurors, finding no outside influence despite reporting that an anonymous livestream commenter who claimed contact with a juror correctly predicted the verdict. Konig is sentenced January 8. And in Largo, Florida, Tomasz Kosowski has begun cross-examining the state's witnesses in his self-represented capital murder trial.Join our new FB groups page here.

  The Clancy Holdout Juror Is Named, Doxxed and in Hiding, and His Account Contradicts the Foreperson's, Plus Patrick Clancy on 60 Minutes 21.09.2026 21Min.

  The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial has been publicly identified, had his address and phone number posted online, received death threats, and is now in an undisclosed location in rural northern New England with counsel. In a statement to NewsNation, Michael P. Desronvil disputed his fellow jurors' accounts: "I didn't have any doubts," and said he believed from the evidence that Clancy "knew exactly what she was doing and planned" it — a direct contradiction of foreperson Roni Carlson, who told NBC10 Boston he had admitted reasonable doubt and whose note prompted the defense to seek his removal. Judge William Sullivan refused, and no court has found Desronvil did anything improper. A GiveSendGo campaign for his security and legal costs has passed $330,000. Kevin Reddington has filed a renewed motion asking Sullivan to enter a required finding of not guilty, arguing the Commonwealth's evidence was insufficient; the status hearing is September 29.

  Elizabeth Holmes Has a Secret A24 Documentary, a Revived Account, and a Clemency Petition Sitting at the Justice Department 18.09.2026 21Min.

  A secret documentary about Elizabeth Holmes premiered at Telluride on September 6. "You Can See Everything", directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, distributed by A24, filmed over three years beginning 34 days before she reported to federal prison. It screens at the New York Film Festival on September 30 and opens theatrically in October. Meanwhile, Holmes's X account, revived in August 2025 after a decade of silence and reportedly run by her partner Billy Evans, has been posting frequently and protesting her innocence. And a clemency petition asking the President to commute her sentence remains listed as pending with the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney. A full account of the case: Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on one count of conspiracy to defraud investors and three counts of wire fraud, acquitted on all patient-related counts, and sentenced to 135 months plus $452 million in restitution. Ramesh Balwani, tried separately on an identical indictment, was convicted on all twelve counts and is serving longer.

  Michael Proctor Takes the Fifth and Every Case He Worked Inherits a Question, No Death Penalty for Nick Reiner, a Wagon in Largo 17.09.2026 22Min.

  Former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor invoked his Fifth Amendment right rather than answer questions at a hearing in a Milton murder case he led — the 2021 killing of 25-year-old Marquis Simmons. Judge Peter Krupp allowed it after a sidebar his defense counsel was barred from joining. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio, who is seeking dismissal of charges against Myles Omari King, 26, said Proctor's lawyer had twice indicated he would testify. Proctor was dishonorably discharged over messages found on his phone during the Karen Read prosecution; he has not been charged with any crime, and invoking the Fifth is not evidence of wrongdoing. Prosecutors say the victim identified King before he died, and that phone records and surveillance link him to the shooting. Also: Los Angeles County DA Nathan Hochman announced he will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, 33, charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Singer Reiner — citing a review of aggravating and mitigating factors and input from the surviving siblings. And in Largo, prosecutors showed video they say depicts Tomasz Kosowski leaving Steven Cozzi's law office pulling a wagon.Join our new FB groups page here.

  He Didn't Ask a Single Question on Day One of His Own Capital Trial, and the Question a Hawaii Judge Refused to Ask His Jury 16.09.2026 23Min.

  Tomasz Kosowski, representing himself in a capital murder trial in Pinellas County, Florida, gave no opening statement and cross-examined none of the state's witnesses on the first day. Assistant State Attorney Alexandra Spadaro told Judge Joseph Bulone that attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, was killed in his firm's bathroom and moved out by wagon — that "his coffin was a dumpster" and his remains lie in the Collier County landfill, where a three-day search found nothing. Kosowski has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; he has dismissed four sets of attorneys, waived a jury for both phases, and withdrawn his prior counsel's suppression motions and death-penalty challenges. Also: in Honolulu, Judge Paul Wong recalled the jurors who convicted Dr. Gerhardt Konig of attempted manslaughter, but limited questioning to whether any had outside contact during deliberations — declining to ask whether the panel was ever unanimous on intent to kill, despite a sworn affidavit from the foreperson saying it was not. Nine jurors answered no; three more are questioned September 18. And disqualification motions are pending in Idaho, where Bryan Kohberger seeks to withdraw his guilty plea, and in Florida, where Rashaun Jones has filed a fourth.Join our new FB groups page here.

  The Prosecutors Who Just Won Asked Their Own Judge to Step Down, Celeste Rivas Hernandez's Parents File Suit, and No Jury in Largo 15.09.2026 22Min.

  Judge London Kite has refused to step aside from Shanna Gardner's murder case after both prosecutors and Kirsten Bridegan — the widow of victim Jared Bridegan — filed motions asking her to disqualify herself. Kite ruled both legally insufficient without addressing the factual allegations. The dispute began when Gardner's defense sought Kirsten Bridegan's cellphone; Kite initially denied the request, then ordered her to surrender it after an ex parte meeting with Gardner's attorneys that neither prosecutors nor Bridegan's lawyers attended. When she refused, Kite initiated indirect criminal contempt proceedings during Mario Fernandez Saldana's trial. The Fifth District Court of Appeal has stayed the order. Prosecutors wrote that Kite's conduct "created the appearance that matters involving Kirsten Bridegan, a material prosecution witness and constitutional crime victim, had been prejudged." Gardner has pleaded not guilty; her trial is set for May 2027. Also: the parents of Celeste Rivas Hernandez have filed a wrongful death suit naming David Anthony Burke, his mother and his managers. And in Largo, Florida, Tomasz Kosowski's capital trial continues with no defense counsel and no jury.Join our new FB groups page here.

  A Capital Trial Begins With No Lawyer and No Jury, Barry Morphew's Bond Goes to $10 Million Cash, and What Was in Matthew Exton's Pockets 14.09.2026 25Min.

  Tomasz Kosowski, 47, goes on trial Monday in Pinellas County, Florida, for the first-degree murder of attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, who vanished from his Largo office bathroom in March 2023 and has never been found. Kosowski has dismissed multiple defense teams, is representing himself, withdrew his prior counsel's motions to suppress evidence and their challenges to the death penalty, and waived a jury for both the guilt and penalty phases — a dual waiver attorneys describe as exceptionally rare. Asked by Judge Joseph Bulone why he didn't want a jury, he replied, "I really have to answer that?" He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; prosecutors are seeking death. Also: Twelfth Judicial District Judge Amanda Hopkins raised Barry Morphew's bond from $3 million to $10 million cash only, saying he "has shown time and again that he has no respect for any order of this court."

  Twenty-Five Years and No Trial: the 9/11 Case at Guantanamo, More Dead From the Dust Than From the Day, and a Deadline That Closes Today 11.09.2026 22Min.

  Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, no one has been tried for them. A military judge set a June 2028 trial date last month for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-defendants at Guantanamo Bay — twenty years after they were first charged — following two decades of litigation driven largely by the CIA's treatment of the defendants in secret custody, which the government has acknowledged and which rendered one co-defendant unfit to stand trial. Plea agreements signed in 2024 were withdrawn by the Defense Secretary, reinstated by a military judge, then vacated on appeal; the death penalty is back on the table. Meanwhile roughly 9,000 death claims have been paid by the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund for illnesses linked to the attacks, with the highest annual total yet recorded in 2025. And New York State's deadline to register World Trade Center rescue, recovery and cleanup service — Form WTC-12, which preserves the right to file a future workers' compensation claim — is today, September 11, 2026. The families' civil suit against Saudi Arabia, filed in 2002, goes before the Second Circuit on October 7.Join our new FB groups page here.

  Four Clancy Jurors Have Now Spoken and They Don't Agree, Patrick Clancy's Lawyer Says Enough Is Enough, and a Two-Year-Old in Illinois 10.09.2026 23Min.

  Four jurors from Lindsay Clancy's murder trial have now spoken publicly, and their accounts conflict. Foreperson Roni Carlson, a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher, told NBC10 Boston the holdout juror "admitted he had reasonable doubt" — that she began signing the verdict forms before he said, "But I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity." Jurors Kellie Farina and Paula Devlin described him as closed off and unwilling to engage. A fourth juror, speaking anonymously to CBS Boston, said the majority pressed him from the beginning, that he was not the only one unwilling to move, and that she would defend him. Judge William Sullivan has temporarily sealed the jurors' names, and the holdout has not spoken. Also: Patrick Clancy's attorney Howard Cooper issued a statement calling the online claims that he was involved in his children's deaths a "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign," saying law enforcement has been notified. And in Frankfort, Illinois, Corie Walsh, 40, was ordered held without bond on three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her two-year-old son, Barrett; her attorneys say she was in a psychotic episode.Join our new FB groups page here.

  Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer Asks Trump for a Pardon, Barry Morphew Lasts One Day on House Arrest, and Two Women Killed by Their Caregiver 09.09.2026 22Min.

  Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked President Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy during a Good Morning America interview Tuesday, days after her murder trial ended in a mistrial — a request the president has no authority to grant, since the pardon power under Article II reaches only federal offenses and Clancy is charged under Massachusetts law. Reddington also said he hopes to reach an agreement with Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz, softened his earlier remarks about the prosecution as "bravado," and said the eleven jurors who agreed were at not guilty by reason of insanity. Clancy has not been convicted or acquitted; the parties return to court September 29. Also: in Colorado, Barry Morphew was arrested and booked into the Boulder County Jail roughly a day after Judge Amanda Hopkins confined him to his home with no exceptions, following a citizen's email about a Denver hit-and-run; prosecutors now seek to revoke his $3 million bond. And in Pomona, California, caregiver Jianchun Li was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole for killing Monica Moon Lee, 75, and Hee Sook Park, 83, at a residential care home in Diamond Bar.Join our new FB groups page here.

  An Attorney Convicted of Attempted Murder at a Restaurant Opening, Kimberly Sullivan Rejects Two Plea Deals, Mackenzie Shirilla's Last Door 08.09.2026 24Min.

  A Lucas County jury convicted attorney Matthew Exton, 43, of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and multiple firearm specifications Friday, in the April 2025 armed confrontation at the opening night of Sabira restaurant in Toledo. He was acquitted on a third assault count. Prosecutor Julia Bates said Exton "came with anger in him and with the intention to commit a public execution of his ex-wife," and credited restaurant employees and patrons — including a waiter who tackled him — as heroes. Exton testified in his own defense, admitting he pointed the gun but disputing intent, and was removed from the courtroom during closing arguments after repeatedly interrupting. Sentencing is set for later this month. Also: in Waterbury, Connecticut, Kimberly Sullivan, 57, rejected two plea offers — including a judge's offer with a ten-year floor — in the case alleging she held her stepson captive for roughly twenty years. She has pleaded not guilty and maintains her innocence; pretrial motions are set for October 20, with jury selection possible in January. And the Ohio Supreme Court has closed Mackenzie Shirilla's post-conviction case without any court ruling on the merits, after her attorneys filed one day past the deadline.Join our new FB groups page here.
