71-year-old Douglas Carter walked out of prison this week after spending 40 years on death row for a 1985 murder he says he never committed. Carter was finally freed after DNA from the crime scene excluded him as a suspect. Carter was finally granted a new trial last year after the Utah Supreme Court ruled the two witnesses who testified against him recanted their stories, revealing that police and a prosecutor gave them cash and gifts to point the finger at Carter. Prosecutors agreed with the judge to release Carter, despite objections from the victims’ family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NBC news has sourced a remarkable story describing what life is like for the billionaire music mogul behind bars. Multiple inmates have described a life Sean “Diddy” Combs has curated in prison, spending thousands of dollars a month for men to make his bed, cook his food, clean his clothes and give him massages. They also have photos and videos showing Diddy on a phone - which is not permitted - and say Diddy has premium alcohol that he sometimes shares with a tight circle of inmates on the weekends. Diddy’s reps have already responded to the allegations, but didn’t necessarily deny them. It’s unclear if these reports will have any impact on his latest release date of January 2028.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a shocking development, a federal appeals court has stepped in and stopped the execution of 50 year old Christa Pike. Pike would’ve been the first woman in more than 200 years executed by the state of Tennessee, and she had already lost her appeal to the Supreme Court. Governor Bill Lee even announced earlier this week that he would not offer Pike clemency. The federal court wants to review whether Pike’s allegations of childhood sexual abuse and rape were fully considered at her sentencing. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer had raised money to travel to Nashville to attend Pike’s execution, and has been publicly advocating for her execution for the past three decades. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

50-year-old Christa Pike is scheduled to become the first woman executed in Tennessee since 1819. Pike was convicted of the torture and murder of an alleged romantic rival when she was 18-years-old. She committed her crime with her then 17-year-old boyfriend, and because of his age he was given a life sentence, while Pike was sentenced to death. There have been dozens of women’s advocacy groups trying to halt her execution based on her extensive sexual abuse and mental health history. At this point, all of Pike’s appeals have been exhausted, and the Governor of Tennessee has already made his decision not to intervene. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer, plans to attend, saying she’s been waiting for this day for more than 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It took the jury less than three hours to convict 40-year-old former American Idol Contestant Caleb Flynn for the murder of his wife, Ashley, last February. During closing arguments the prosecution reminded the jury of the overwhelming evidence against Flynn, including his damning text messages about wanting to kill his wife. The defense spent nearly an hour trying to convince the jury there was reasonable doubt because no physical evidence connected Flynn to the murder. We have Ashley’s family reaction and Caleb’s parents comments after the guilty verdict was delivered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bizarre and disturbing story out of the Bay Area: two, 76-year-old murder suspects are in custody, accused of murdering their son-in-law at a California sports complex and playground. Police say Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen each shot 40-year-old Jonathan McKinsey multiple times, witnesses directing police to the couple within minutes of the murder. McKinsey was the director of engineering for the games section of The New York Times and was in a contentious and complicated divorce and custody battle that included decades of domestic violence accusations and restraining orders. The couple is expected in court on Wednesday, where we hope to get more details in this shocking crime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While no date has been set yet for the retrial of Lindsay Clancy, the prosecution acknowledged it is moving forward with its case against the mom accused of strangling her three young children to death. Clancy’s defense attorney surprised the court, making an argument that the case against her should be thrown out because there is no actual evidence she killed her children. The judge plans to rule on several motions presented by the prosecution, defense, a media organization and the holdout juror in early November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The fate of Caleb Flynn will be in the hands of the jury today after both the prosecution and defense rested their cases on Monday. The prosecution called 40 witnesses over the past 7 days, while the defense chose to rest without calling a single witness to the stand. The former American Idol contestant is accused of shooting and killing his wife Ashely while she was sleeping and then staging the home to make it look like a burglary. While the defense reminded the jury there is no physical evidence linking Flynn to the murder, there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing to Flynn, including from his own text messages. Flynn’s mistress, Alleigha Botner testified to hundreds of damning texts where Flynn repeatedly said he wanted to kill his wife.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, has filed several motions for today’s hearing as we wait to hear whether prosecutors plan to retry Clancy for the strangling deaths of her three children. Reddington will first ask the judge to find Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. The defense has also moved to dismiss the case on double jeopardy grounds, arguing the judge should not have declared a mistrial, but instead should have questioned the holdout juror or replaced him. Reddington has also requested additional information about the juror, including cellphone records and his confidential questionnaire, as the juror himself spoke out for the first time on Monday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Primetime” came in a respectable number 4 over the weekend, and critics are singing its praises, earning an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the journalist the movie portrays, former NBC reporter Chris Hansen, is upset, saying the film is a “complete work of fiction.” Hansen goes on to say the movie is “detached from reality or anything I’ve ever experienced.” Hansen is played by actor Robert Pattinson and depicts his role working on “To Catch a Predator” back in 2006, when a potential target of the show, a Texas prosecutor died by suicide rather than be confronted by the reality show and police.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The attorney for the lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is defending his client, saying Michael Desronvil had zero doubt about his decision and has “a mountain of evidence” to back up his decision. Edward Paltzik also had a message for Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington “and to the deranged individuals who think that the murder of three innocent children is okay: You will never break Michael, because Michael is indestructible." Paltzik is speaking the day before Reddington goes to court to ask for a formal investigation into the holdout juror, calling him an “obstructionist” juror.

The second full week of testimony is underway in the Caleb Flynn murder trial. The former American Idol alum is accused of murdering his wife of 15 years, Ashely Flynn. On Friday, Flynn sobbed once again in court as a detective played both of his interrogation videos, recorded on the day of his wife’s murder. Detectives also testified to what they found in Ashely’s phone, saying there was no evidence Ashley was having an affair like Caleb claimed, but there was evidence she knew of Caleb’s affair, at one point texting him, “you can be honest, was it her?”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are two new studies out that show younger people aren’t having as much sex and it’s a fairly significant shift from a decade ago. The Institute for Family Studies found that nearly 25 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 haven’t had sex in the past year. A recent Playboy study found the same results, and now experts are looking into why. From burn out from dating apps, to social anxiety stemming from the pandemic, to young adults moving back in with their parents, some experts believe this trend will continue to lower our country’s fertility rates further.

St. Paul Police Chief Alex Henry has officially filed a lawsuit against 53-year-old Minnesota Mayor Kaohly Her for sexual harassment. Chief Henry had already filed a complaint against the mayor back in the Spring, but has now included new allegations in his formal lawsuit. Henry alleges that Mayor Her grabbed his upper thigh twice during a budget meeting, made references to the size of his penis and referred to herself as a “MILF”. Earlier accusations involved Mayor Her reportedly sending an inappropriate text to a city employee referring to “Weiner Wednesday.” The Mayor’s spokesperson has denied the allegations and says Mayor Her plans to “continue to lead St. Paul.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Police say a 32-year-old man is in custody after brutally attacking a couple while they were sleeping, stabbing Dr. Idris Evans to death and critically injuring his wife. In the middle of the attack, Gina Evans was able to yell to their 8 and 12 year old kids to run to a neighbor’s house, saving them from being harmed. Investigators are trying to determine a motive for the murder, Evan’s wife telling police she heard her husband call out their attacker’s name, Elijah. Gina described Elijah Hemingway as psychotic, referring to himself as “God," while stabbing them in only his underwear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Damn. For the second day in a row, the mistress of accused murderer Caleb Flynn was on the stand reading hundreds of texts between the two. But on Thursday, 24-year-old Alleigha Botner cracked as she was forced to read a damning text where she told Caleb she wanted to kill his wife Ashley, “so bad." However, later in the day a much different tone swept over the courtroom as prosecutors played an AI version of the song Caleb wrote for Alleigha. As two different versions of the song played aloud, the camera panned to Ashley’s family and many others who all seemed to be stifling laughter, as Caleb wiped sweat from his brow, clearly uncomfortable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Botner is testifying against her former lover, Caleb Flynn, who now stands accused of killing his wife of 15 years to be with her.

A federal judge has granted journalists a temporary restraining order forcing the White House to restore press credentials to CNN, MSNOW and Politico. The order requires the White House to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” the credentials, after the judge rejected the DOJ’s argument that the ban was motivated by “national security concerns.” As Trump continues his all out war against reporting he doesn’t like, we end this episode with a very important reminder of the importance of a free press by a former President.
