31-year-old Taylor Frankie Paul was visibly nervous and uncomfortable during her first live interview on Good Morning America to promote “The Bachelorette.” Paul wasn’t asked a direct question about the domestic violence investigation, rather she was given an “opportunity to respond” to the headlines… and what we heard from Paul was more “poor me” talk. After another question about the reported pause in “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” production, and an “I don’t make the decisions” answer, GMA moved on to promote the new season of “The Bachelorette.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re just days away from the premier of a new season of “The Bachelorette” with reality star Taylor Frankie Paul. ABC and Disney made the controversial choice even after Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault stemming from a 2023 domestic violence incident. Now, police have confirmed they are investigating yet another reported assault with her same ex-boyfriend who continues to play a prominent role in the newly released season of “The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives.” The incident has now forced filming of the latest season of Mormon Wives to STOP just as “The Bachelorette” debuts on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Utah jury of 8 took less than 3 hours to find 35 year old mom of three, Kouri Richins guilty of fatally poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl spiked Moscow mule. Closing arguments and jury instructions took most of the day, so it was a surprise when they continued to deliberate into the evening to come back with guilty verdicts on all counts. RIchins’ reaction was palpable as the judge read the the verdicts aloud, her head fell and she never looked up again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kouri RIchins’ defense team put on a fiery closing argument to jurors, insisting the prosecution did not prove Richins purchased Fentanyl and not did prove she gave it to her husband. The prosecution ended its rebuttal with this final, powerful command: “See through her facade, check her ambition, and do not let her get away with murder.“See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution put on an extremely effective closing today, giving a detailed timeline of what Kouri did NOT do to try and save her husband’s life and appealed to the jury’s common sense for why and how they claim Kouri poisoned her husband. As soon as the prosecution finished, the defense called for a mistrial. The judge denied that motion but did agree to re-instruct the jury after prosecutors compared RIchins to a black widow and discussed the facial expressions she was making throughout the trial. Next up, the defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The highlights for Amy and T.J.: Michael B's win, an incredible In Memoriam segment that included Barbara Streisand, a "Golden" performance, and a winner's no-show.

We (Barely) finished the NYC Half Marathon, and there were points, especially at the beginning, when we didn't think we would. This year's race is officially our slowest on record, but making it over the finish line together felt like the biggest victory yet, given the injury T.J. continues to nurse. Another race has meant even more lessons learned about pushing through pain and recognizing that we're all stronger than we think. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are headed out the door to run the United NYC Half marathon. We are not in the best shapes this morning. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This year’s Best Picture nominees are a huge investment of time, but it certainly makes watching the Oscar’s that much more fun when you’ve got some skin in the game. We know most people don’t have the time, energy or even interest to sit down and spend an entire day (and night) watching these acclaimed films. Let’s be honest, several of these movies weren’t box office hits, and most people might not even know the premise of some of them, so we took the last two weeks and watched each and every movie to share our cliff notes with all of you. Full disclosure, there were a couple of films that took us days, as in multiple days, to finish watching because of the heavy subject matter coupled with our heavy eyelids.

A report from USA Today details several new and disturbing accounts from women who have stepped forward in recent months, telling police eerily similar scenarios of alleged abuse from Timothy Busfield over the past several decades. Busfield is charged with four counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and his attorneys have said these new allegations are not only unproven, but also irrelevant to the criminal case against their client.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an extraordinary video to Tik Tok, singer and rapper Doja Cat admitted to her 27 million followers that after throwing shade on Timothée Chalamet for his Opera and Ballet comments, that she’s never been to either shows and was just trying to garner clicks and approvals. It was an incredible display of humility and vulnerability rarely seen today and we hope everyone can take something away from her willingness to admit fault with an open heart and an open mind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been exactly two weeks since retired Major General William Neal McCasland disappeared from his New Mexico home. His disappearance is gaining national attention because the Air Force base he commanded was once the headquarters for a military program that oversaw U.F.O. investigations. Authorities believe General McCasland left his home with his wallet, his hiking boots and his gun, notably leaving his cellphone and prescription glasses behind. Now federal officials and his wife - who addresses the alien theories - are asking for the public’s help in finding him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are getting more details about who the suspects were and why they attacked a Michigan synagogue and a Virginia university campus. One was a convicted ISIS sympathizer, recently released from prison who tried to make the courts believe he felt deeply regretful for his allegiance to the terror organization. The other was a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who authorities believe had recently lost family members to Israeli missile strikes in his home country.

After nearly 3 full weeks of testimony, where jurors heard accusations of a poisoned Valentine’s Day sandwich, a fentanyl spiked Moscow mule along with damning internet searches and a heartbroken ex-lover, the defense shocked the courtroom by not calling a single witness. There were hours of back and forth between the attorneys and judge regarding would-be witnesses and testimony, but ultimately Kouri Richins and her defense team felt confident enough in their case to move on to closing arguments, set to begin on Monday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been a chaotic and frightening day in both Michigan and Virginia. First, just outside of Detroit, a vehicle driven by a man armed with a rifle rammed a synagogue. Security fired shots and the vehicle burst into flames inside the synagogue. The would-be shooter was killed, but there are concerns about incendiary devices that may still be inside the vehicle. In Virginia, one victim is dead, two others injured after a gunman opened fire on Old Dominion University’s campus just before 11am. The gunman is dead, but investigators are now trying to determine what happened and why, as classes have been cancelled for the rest of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minutes before 51-year-old convicted murderer Cedric Ricks died by lethal injection last night, he had more than just a few final words, he had a long, emotional statement directed at the family he devastated. Ricks not only repeatedly apologized for fatally stabbing his girlfriend and her 8-year-old son 13 years ago, but directed much of his emotional plea for forgiveness at her surviving son who witnessed his execution.

What are Californian’s supposed to think… or do? While residents have been officially warned about a possible Iranian retaliation, they’re also being told there is no “immediate, credible threat” to their state.

A grand jury has indicted 22-year-old Laken Snelling with the much more serious charge of first degree manslaughter for the death of her newborn baby last August. Police initially charged the college senior with lesser counts of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence after finding the body of her newborn hidden in a black trash bag in Snelling’s closet. The medical examiner determined the baby was born alive, but died by “asphyxia by undetermined means.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tennessee prosecutors say former NFL Linebacker, 31-year-old Darron Lee, viciously beat and stabbed his fiancé to death and then asked ChatGPT how to cover up the crime scene. In a preliminary hearing, prosecutors told the judge they believe the victim suffered for multiple days, beaten and stabbed, while Lee asked the bot what to do and what to say to authorities before eventually calling 9-1-1.

In a surprising and rare move, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of a man who was scheduled to die by nitrogen gas on Thursday. 75 year old Charles “Sonny” Burton was convicted of the 1991 murder of Doug Battle because he was a part of a robbery where one of his cohorts shot and killed Battle. While the man who pulled the trigger got life in prison, Burton wound up on death row. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Alabama’s longest serving death row inmates is waiting to hear from prosecutors, after a court ordered them to pursue a new trial for 63-year-old Michael Sockwell, or he will be released. Sockwell was convicted for the 1988 murder of a sheriff’s deputy, but a court has determined the prosecutor who seated his jury, “repeatedly and purposefully” rejected qualified black jurors. The court set a deadline of March 18th, and because the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Alabama’s appeal, prosecutors have until next week to make a move.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
