Show notes

We had a blast going over the latest dating trend making the rounds on social media: eventationships.

Show notes

Is she for real? Former Miss North Carolina Brittany Boltinhouse gave a 12 minute interview to The Carolina Journal where she never once acknowledged, let alone apologized, for several years’ worth of social media posts where she uses the n-word. In fact, Boltinhouse, who is Latina, went so far as to say she believes she was stripped from her title because of her political stance (she supports Trump) and her Mormon faith.

Show notes

A true crime story right out of a horror movie: a 15-year-old dressed in a clown suit, charged with first degree murder for randomly stabbing a 78-year-old man to death in East St. Louis, Illinois. Just hours earlier, several ring cameras captured the teen dressed as a clown going door to door with a large knife, saying “I’ve been looking for you” and “I have a gift for you.” Prosecutors plan to charge the teen as an adult, as the victim’s family remembers a man who was a wonderful brother, a navy vet and bus driver, who was in the area to visit his sister.

Show notes

The woman who spent 4 years in an Italian prison before her murder conviction was overturned, is now about to star in a one woman comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Amanda Knox describes “Cartwheel” as a show about “juggling motherhood and finally getting around to being furious about the whole wrongful-imprisonment thing.” Friends and family of murder victim and former roommate of Knox, Meredith Kercher, say the comedy show trivializes violence against women and mocks the horrific events surrounding Kercher’s murder.

Show notes

The prosecution called a total of 10 witnesses to the stand on Thursday, but the day began with an emotional gut punch as the state medical examiner went over the autopsy of 8 month old Callan. Jurors had to view the autopsy photo which prompted tears and tissues among the jury and audible sobbing from Lindsay Clancy. The prosecution then had a series of witnesses take the stand from the family pediatrician, daycare workers, and friends of the couple testify that Lindsay was tired, but a good and loving mom. Lindsay’s ex father-in-law and grandfather to the children testified that the Clancy’s were an “all American family” and he never was concerned that Lindsay could harm herself or the kids.
