Death penalty as punishment for a crime

Send us a textSince the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, the United States has executed over 1,500 people — but only 17 of them have been women. In this episode, we walk cell-by-cell through their stories. The crimes. The trials. The years spent on death row. And, ultimately, the moments the state said it was time to die.From Velma Barfield to Lisa Montgomery, we examine not just what they did — but who they were. And we ask: Does gender change the way we see justice? Or does justice demand that we don't look away?One by one, we tell the final stories of the women the state could not — or would not — save.Support the show
Christmas Podcast | Should We Bring Back the Death Penalty by lotuseaters.com
Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on December 14th, 2025. Their son Nick Reiner has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances — charges that carry the possibility of the death penalty in California. In this interview, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down exactly how the Los Angeles District Attorney's office will build their case against Nick Reiner. We examine the special circumstances allegation, the deadly weapon enhancement, and what prosecutors need to prove to secure a first-degree conviction. We also discuss the reported argument between Nick and his father at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before the killings — and whether that incident helps or hurts the prosecution's timeline. The coroner still hasn't confirmed time of death, and that gap matters more than most people realize. DA Nathan Hochman made an unusual statement asking the public to rely only on official sources and wait for evidence to come out in court. Eric explains what that restraint signals about how this case is being handled at the highest levels — and why the death penalty decision will involve input from the surviving Reiner family members. Nick was arrested without incident near USC hours after the bodies were discovered and reportedly checked into a Santa Monica hotel that same night. Does that suggest consciousness of guilt? Or does it complicate the narrative prosecutors want to tell? This is the first of a two-part series examining both sides of this case.

The definitive true “Southern Gothic” account of the life, crimes, conviction, and execution of Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins, the charismatic, brutal, well-liked, remorseless South Carolina serial killer who was dubbed the Charles Manson of the South—written by the prosecutor who brought him to justice.Of the hundreds of murder cases that noted South Carolina attorney Dick Harpootlian has prosecuted, one in particular haunts him. Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins was a serial killer and rapist, a master manipulator who claimed to have killed over 100 people and is known to have murdered over a dozen, including a toddler, and his own teenage niece. Yet it was on Death Row that he pulled off his most audacious murder—killing another inmate with a military grade explosive.As personable as he was ruthless, Pee Wee defied easy categories. He killed to avenge minor slights as well as for pleasure, using any convenient method—including stabbing, shooting, poison, suffocation, and drowning. Evidence suggested he forced at least one victim to dig his own grave, stand in it, and be shot.With escalating callousness, Pee Wee murdered acquaintances, friends, family members, and strangers. Yet within his North Charleston community he was well-liked—a family man who took neighborhood kids to the beach and hosted cookouts. Ice-cold within but outwardly charming, he joked with judges, reporters, and Harpootlian himself, but didn't hesitate to hatch a plot to kidnap the prosecutor's daughter in order to extort an escape.Dig Me a Grave is a haunting look at a prolific, remorseless killer, as well as a provocative exploration of justice and the death penalty. DIG ME A GRAVE: The Inside Story of the Serial Killer Who Seduced the South—Dick Harpootlian
In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett for an in-depth look at the explosive case surrounding Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk. Jarrett walks through the evidence prosecutors say makes this a strong case, the challenges of seating an impartial jury in today’s hyper-politicized climate, and why allowing Robinson to appear in civilian clothing could influence public perception. Lisa and Gregg also explore the legal path to the death penalty, concerns about politicized prosecutions, and the broader implications this case holds for the justice system. The episode closes with a breakdown of recent U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan drug cartels, including the constitutional and legal justification behind the operations.

On days when someone is executed at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, community members are generally allowed to gather outside the prison in a large field. Separated by fences and distance are the "against" and "for" sides. The "againsts" are usually made up of a few dozen clergy and abolitionists, including one of our guests today — death row chaplain Rev. Tim Holton. The "for" side tends to be much slimmer. Frequently, there's just one man: our other guest, Rick Laude.During the course of their conversation in the TIN studio, they learn their lives have a lot in common, particularly the childhood trauma they experienced. This organically turned into a conversation between them and not an interview by us. We're along for the ride with you — and grateful to be in the room.

As of December first, officials across the U.S. have executed 44 people in 11 states, making 2025 one of the deadliest years for state sanctioned executions. In this week's episode we talk to Malcolm Gladwell, whose new podcast series dives into one case to understand how the system operates and the reality that who gets sentenced to die often depends on things that have nothing to do with guilt or innocence.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's accusation of sedition against former intelligence and military officials, the deeper pattern of political activism inside America's security agencies, the White House's meeting with New York City's socialist mayor elect, new economic and immigration data, and a sprawling welfare scandal involving Somali migrants in Minnesota. Trump Accuses Former Intel and Military Officials of Sedition: A group of Democratic lawmakers and former intelligence and military officers released a video urging current service members to refuse "illegal orders" from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Jason Crow admitted they could not name any unlawful orders but again labeled Trump a fascist and a Nazi. Trump responded by calling their actions sedition and said they should be arrested and tried, adding that such offenses can be punishable by death. Bryan argues the video is part of a ten-year pattern of partisan activism from former security officials who wrap themselves in patriotism while advancing political goals. A Personal Warning About the Deep State: Bryan recounts cases involving Ned Price, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and the fifty one former intelligence officials who misled the public about Hunter Biden's laptop. He describes how some officials use the cachet of CIA or military service to shield partisan motives. He also reflects on his former boss, Jennifer Matthews, and objects to her being used for political gain. Trump Hosts New York City's Socialist Mayor Elect: President Trump will meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York City, who openly identifies as a Marxist. Mamdani insists the NYPD will not assist federal deportation efforts, even for violent offenders held at Rikers Island. He says the meeting will focus on public safety and affordability. Bryan questions the wisdom of giving such a figure a platform inside the White House. Economic Signals Improve for Housing and Jobs: Mortgage rates have fallen to about 6.25 percent. Rent prices are dropping in many cities and analysts tie the trend to Trump's deportation operations, which have reduced demand for rental units. Job growth in September exceeded expectations, with 119,000 new positions. Native born workers filled most new roles while foreign-born workers lost ground. Wages are growing faster than inflation. Manufacturing orders appear strong, but exact data are delayed due to the recent shutdown. Tariff Adjustments and Manufacturing Investments: The White House lifted remaining tariffs on Brazilian goods such as beef and coffee to ease grocery prices. GE Appliances will shift more production to Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee due to U.S. tariffs and competitive pressure from Whirlpool. China unexpectedly resumed large soybean purchases and placed a new wheat order, giving U.S. farmers encouraging news. Border Crossings Fall and Medical Strain Eases: Hospitals near San Diego report a dramatic drop in injuries among migrants who fall from the border wall. Emergency rooms say they can finally prioritize American patients because crossings have fallen to lows not seen since the 1970s. Judges Block National Guard Deployments: A federal judge in Washington blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the capital despite clear data showing that Guard operations sharply reduced crime. Similar rulings in Memphis and other cities reflect what Bryan describes as political obstruction at the expense of public safety. Somali Welfare Fraud Funds Terrorism Abroad: City Journal reports that Somali migrants in Minneapolis defrauded Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program of hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was routed to clan networks and to al-Shabaab in Somalia, making Minnesota taxpayers one of the largest funders of the terror group. More than fifty individuals have been charged. Bryan warns that state leaders have tried to minimize or dismiss the scandal for fear of appearing xenophobic. FBI Analyst Fired After Displaying Pride Flag: An FBI trainee claims he was terminated for displaying a Pride flag at work. The Bureau denies this. Bryan discusses his own experience serving alongside gay and lesbian officers and argues that all personal politics, identities, and symbols should be left outside the workplace so that the mission remains the focus. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump sedition accusation Slotkin Crow, former intel officials illegal orders video, Deep State political activism, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor elect, mortgage rates falling deportation effect, GE Appliances reshoring tariffs, China soybean wheat purchases, San Diego border crossings ER cases, National Guard deployment ruling DC, Minneapolis Somali welfare fraud al-Shabaab, FBI pride flag firing claim
Send us a texthe conversation moves through a fast, chaotic blend of social commentary, sexual humor, political cynicism, and personal reflection. It begins with discussion about the resurgence of collectible items and how AI and capitalism may force people back into simpler, more human activities. That leads into a critique of money, crypto, billionaires, and the concept that nearly everything in modern society is essentially fake. The dialogue expands into global politics—sanctions, coups, oil interests, and the U.S. acting as an unchecked global power.From there, the tone shifts into absurd humor about farming, insemination, and how people who fist cows often hold conservative anti-LGBT views. The conversation spirals into kink culture: leather scenes, pups, masks, fetishes, and why certain communities exist. This includes uncomfortable, explicit questions about fisting, bodily functions, sexual progression, and why some people enjoy extreme acts.The discussion then swerves to everyday life: talking to dogs like children, dogs' pack behavior, the contrast with aloof cats, and the bizarre reality of pets living indoors. Food prices, inflation, and the shrinking size of groceries become a point of frustration. The conversation returns to personal growth, aging, creative phases, past podcast eras, and how both hosts have changed since earlier episodes. Nostalgia for past creative periods emerges, along with recognition of personal evolution.Interwoven is a thread about filmmaking: the beginning of a documentary project, motivations behind solo travel, the meta-process of documenting the making of a documentary, and how it ties to self-reflection. The dialogue continues into aging, nightlife shifting into quiet routines, and the strange dissonance between adult responsibilities and the outrageous conversations they still have.Overall, the transcript jumps from existential dread to explicit gay sexual comedy, from geopolitical collapse to pet parenting, from leather festivals to the price of soup—all narrated with unfiltered honesty, sarcasm, and vulgar humor.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at (614) 721-5336 and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and tech editor Sharon Wrobel join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again declined to form a state commission of inquiry into the events that led up to October 7 in a Knesset debate, Sokol discusses that members of the prime minister's own Likud party have argued in favor of the commission process. A death penalty policy against terrorist acts passed its first reading in the plenum after many delays. Sokol notes that the bill is unlikely to pass the High Court test, as it applies to those who kill Israelis, but not to Jewish terrorists. Remilk, non-cow-based milk, is about to reach the Israeli market and Wrobel describes the makeup of the milk and its development process. As the Israeli tech community in New York City anticipates the arrival of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Wrobel discusses expectations for whether the pro-Palestinian mayor will be hostile to Israeli businesses and freeze them out of government contracts. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Tara dives into a whirlwind of national and local stories shaping politics, justice, and the economy. From the impending execution of triple-murderer Steven Bryant via firing squad in South Carolina to the state GOP's gerrymandering debacle with Ralph Norman challenging Jim Clyburn's protected district, no stone is left unturned. Tara also breaks down Trump's controversial H-1B visa comments, corporate job cuts hitting over 1.15 million this year, and how foreign worker policies may be depressing wages for American workers. Plus, a rare geomagnetic storm could make northern lights visible across the South, adding a cosmic twist to this jam-packed episode. Justice, politics, and the solar storm – South Carolina is heating up on every front. In this episode, Tara tackles an extraordinary mix of stories from justice, politics, and science. First, the South Carolina Supreme Court denies Steven Bryant's last-minute appeal, clearing the way for his firing squad execution — a rare, high-profile death penalty case drawing national attention. She then unpacks the political chaos in Columbia, where GOP leadership has ignored Trump's call to redraw Jim Clyburn's gerrymandered district, with Ralph Norman campaigning to expose the state legislature's liberal-leaning, RINO behavior. Tara also dissects Trump's recent H-1B visa remarks amid soaring corporate layoffs, arguing that foreign worker policies are harming American engineers and wages. Finally, she previews a rare geomagnetic storm potentially producing visible northern lights across the Southeast, showing how even the skies are part of this week's news spectacle.
