Show notes

A shocking crime out of Georgia where an elderly woman is accused of killing her 75-year-old ex-husband and his new, 40-year-old girlfriend. 76-year-old Grace Edge turned herself into police after officials say she shot and killed the two and shot and injured the girlfriend’s mother. The sheriff told reporters that Edge and her ex had an on again, off again relationship and that she was “not accepting” of the new situation. To add some perspective to this unusual headline: Less than half a percent of ALL murderers in this country are 75 years or older.

UPDATE: Surprise Ruling Leads To Major Setback For Lindsay Clancy Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy case issued a surprise ruling Wednesday, dismissing an attempt by Clancy’s attorney to investigate the lone holdout juror in her murder trial. Kevin Reddington had filed a motion requesting access to the juror’s initial questionnaire, an examination of his cellphone and for him to be questioned in court, but the judge refused to move forward with any investigation into Michael Desronvil. Clancy’s team still has a motion to dismiss murder charges against Clancy in play, citing double jeopardy. That will be decided at the next hearing in early November, where both sides are expected to agree on a potential new trial date.

Travel Blogger Posts Woman Crying For 3 Hours After She Wouldn’t Switch To Middle Seat Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Would you give up your aisle seat - for a middle seat - on a 10 hour international flight so a couple could sit together? Tomiko Harvey just posted round two on her social media after receiving racist backlash for refusing to do just that. While the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people who have weighed in support Harvey’s decision to stay put, several have pointed out that posting a video of her seat mate crying and the mention of “white tears” lacked empathy and kindness.

Alabama Governor Spares Death Row Inmate’s Life; Now A Growing Push For His Freedom Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey made the rare decision to commute the death sentence of a 53-year-old man convicted in the 1995 killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Ivey said there was “not enough direct evidence to carry out the most serious punishment.” The current district attorney has taken it a step further, publicly voicing concerns about prosecutorial misconduct, asking the courts to overturn Toforest Johnson’s conviction and grant him a new trial. Johnson has maintained his innocence from the beginning, with at least 10 witnesses who corroborate Johnson was nowhere near the scene of the murder and zero physical evidence tying him to the crime.
