    First Hayden, Then Dolly: Why Does It Feel Like EVERYONE Is Dying?

    These last few weeks of August have felt unusually heavy, with daily headlines of celebrity deaths. We’ve been waking up this summer to an onslaught of announcements that some of our favorite, most beloved entertainers have passed.

    Homicide Detectives Investigate Mysterious Death Of Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant On Layover

    Honolulu police have confirmed their homicide division is leading the investigation into the death of 50 year old Jenny Lupton, whose body was found after falling from a 24th floor hotel balcony in Waikiki. Lupton’s family insists the loving mom to a 15 year old son would never take her own life; she had been enjoying her layover with a flight attendant friend and had just gotten a tattoo the day before her death, with plans to color it in once she retuned home to Oklahoma. Police have not determined her cause of death yet and say they plan to “limit the release of certain information” to preserve the integrity of the investigation, while asking the public to refrain from sharing unverified information while they continue their work.

    Killer Mom Trial, Prosecution Closing Arguments:  Lindsay Clancy Killed Her Kids To End Her Own Misery 

    The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened. The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Killer Mom Trial, Defense Closing Arguments: Prosecution “Ripped The Soul” Out of Lindsay Clancy

    As expected, the jury heard a dramatic and powerful closing argument from Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Reporters inside the courtroom described both Clancy and several jurors wiping tears from their eyes as Reddington showed pictures of the once happy family that he said was ripped apart because “of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got." Reddington took nearly the full hour to make his final case to jurors, saying the prosecution has manipulated the evidence, and reiterating that Clancy was a “darn good mother” who had no motive to kill her kids.

    Killer Mom Trial: A Chilling Comparison, Lindsay Clancy and Andrea Yates Have More In Common Than We Realized

    Yes, their crimes are horrifically linked: Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy both claim they were “commanded” to kill their children one by one, both were former nurses, both were raised Catholic and both pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis. But 25 years later, turns out one of the state’s star witnesses, Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Clancy knew right from wrong and is criminally responsible for killing her kids, works for the very psychiatrist who was later proven to have falsely testified against Andrea Yates. Dr. Park Dietz said Andrea Yates replicated a “Law and Order” episode to get away with murder, but the episode never happened, and his testimony ultimately led to Yates getting a new trial where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

    Judge Rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s “Rambling” “Meritless” Attempt To Overturn Her Sex Trafficking Convictions

    Judge Paul A. Engelmayer gave Ghislaine Maxwell a verbal spanking while ruling against her bid to overturn her sex trafficking convictions for her role in the Jeffrey Epstein saga. Judge Engelmayer wrote a 67 page ruling where he calls Maxwell’s claims meritless and frivolous and said the Epstein file release not only didn’t exonerate her, it further incriminated her and reinforced the verdict against her. He also made it very clear, Maxwell is out of legal options, writing that no further appeals would be considered. We have reaction from Epstein survivors and what Congress has tried to do to prevent her only get-out-of-jail card left: a Presidential pardon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Montana Man Kills 8 Family Members At Sunday Supper, As 12-Year-Old Niece Calls 9-1-1

    This is a disturbing trend that is happening weekly, if not daily: a man kills his entire family and then himself. 44-year-old Alan Smith was reportedly kicked out of his Billings, Montana home, but came back with a gun during dinner and murdered his sister, her four children, his parents and his 90-year-old grandmother in a wheelchair. He then set the home on fire and took his own life as police were approaching. In the middle of his rampage, his 12-year-old niece was able to call 9-1-1, where dispatchers heard gunfire in the background. Unfortunately, it was too late by the time police arrived, and unfortunately this summer has proven to be among the deadliest in family mass shootings.

    Killer Mom Trial: Final Day Of Testimony As Experts Battle “Moral Awareness” Vs Postpartum Psychosis

    It was another contentious day in court that once again, ended abruptly after the state’s rebuttal witness began to testify to children’s inherent “strong will to survive’. The defense immediately objected and, after a sidebar, the judge told the witness to step down and called it a day for the jury. This, after defense attorney Kevin Reddington continued to aggressively cross examine the prosecution’s expert witnesses who have testified Clancy was “morally aware” her actions were against the law and that she was NOT in a state of psychosis.

    Dethroned Miss NC USA Sues Pageant Organizers, Claims N-Word Is “Popular Slang”

    WOW. Not only did the dethroned Miss North Carolina NOT apologize for using the N-word, or any other offensive previous social media posts, she claimed her right to use the racist slurs because her great grandfather identified as black AND because it’s popular slang used by Beyonce and other artists. In her new lawsuit, which is a hell of a read, Brittany Boltinhouse claims pageant officials “maliciously coordinated to publish a narrative portraying her as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, and intolerable bigot.” She takes zero responsibility for her past actions, and instead is asking for an unidentified sum of money for her “excruciating reputational destruction.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
