This Day in Legal History: Salem Witchcraft ExecutionsOn August 19, 1692, five individuals—George Burroughs, John Proctor, George Jacobs Sr., John Willard, and Martha Carrier—were executed by hanging in Salem, Massachusetts, after being convicted of witchcraft. These executions occurred during the height of the infamous Salem witch trials, a dark episode in colonial American history fueled by religious fervor, mass hysteria, and deeply flawed legal proceedings. George Burroughs, a former minister, recited the Lord's Prayer on the gallows—a feat believed to be impossible for a witch—which unsettled some spectators but did not halt the execution. John Proctor, a well-respected farmer, had been openly critical of the trials and was likely targeted for his outspoken skepticism.Martha Carrier was labeled “the Queen of Hell” by her accusers, a title steeped in misogyny and fear. The trials heavily relied on spectral evidence—claims of visions and dreams—which would later be deemed inadmissible in more rational courts. Governor William Phips halted the trials just two months later, in part because of growing public backlash and the implausibility of the accusations.These executions mark one of the final mass hangings of the Salem witch trials, which ultimately led to the deaths of 20 people and the imprisonment of many more. Legal scholars have since examined the trials as a case study in the dangers of due process violations, mass panic, and unchecked judicial power. In the centuries that followed, the state of Massachusetts gradually acknowledged the injustice, with the last of the condemned officially exonerated only in 2001. The Salem trials remain a cautionary tale in American legal history, illustrating how fear and ideology can warp legal institutions.The White House has been sending social media teams to accompany FBI agents during arrests in Washington, D.C., as part of President Donald Trump's recent federal takeover of the city's policing efforts. According to sources briefed on the situation, the teams are capturing footage to promote the administration's crackdown on crime, raising serious concerns among legal experts. The move is considered highly unusual and potentially problematic, as it blurs the lines between law enforcement and political messaging, potentially violating Justice Department norms meant to prevent political interference in criminal investigations.One recent example involved a professionally produced video of FBI agents arresting Sean Charles Dunn, a former DOJ employee, which was posted to the White House's social media and has garnered millions of views. Legal experts warn that filming arrests—especially in non-public spaces—could infringe on suspects' Fourth Amendment privacy rights and complicate the legal proceedings by generating prejudicial pre-trial publicity.The White House has also reportedly embedded personnel within the FBI command post and is tracking arrest statistics, suggesting an unusually direct involvement in federal law enforcement operations. While the administration claims this is part of its transparency initiative, critics see it as political theater designed to favorably shape public perception. Experts argue that such tactics risk undermining public confidence in the FBI's independence and could erode the bureau's credibility.White House sending social media teams with FBI on some arrests in D.C., sources say | ReutersThe Trump administration appointed Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey as co-deputy director of the FBI, sharing the post with conservative media personality Dan Bongino. This newly created position signals a shift in leadership at the Bureau, with FBI Director Kash Patel calling Bailey an essential addition to the agency. Bailey, a war veteran and Missouri's attorney general since 2023, will resign his current role effective September 8.Bailey expressed gratitude for the appointment, emphasizing his commitment to supporting President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi's law enforcement agenda. Bondi, who welcomed Bailey's appointment, praised his legal and military background. Bailey had previously been mentioned as a potential pick for U.S. attorney general under Trump's second term but was not ultimately chosen.Bongino, now Bailey's co-deputy, recently made headlines for clashing with Bondi over the DOJ's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and had reportedly considered resigning. The appointment, first reported by Fox News Digital, has raised eyebrows given Bongino's media background and the political nature of the move.Missouri attorney general named as co-deputy director of FBI | ReutersThe American Bar Association (ABA) is attempting to revise and soften a controversial proposal that would double the number of required hands-on learning credits for law students, following strong pushback from many law school deans. The updated plan, released August 15, would raise the experiential learning requirement from six to twelve credits but introduces greater flexibility and delays implementation to at least 2032.Key changes include allowing students to earn three of those credits in their first year—previously prohibited—and permitting partial credit for traditional courses that incorporate practical elements like simulated client work or drafting exercises. These adjustments aim to address concerns about feasibility, especially for part-time students or programs with limited resources.Despite these revisions, critics remain skeptical. Many deans argue that the ABA has not shown sufficient evidence that increased experiential credits would improve legal education outcomes, and they warn the rule could increase costs and overburden students and schools. Supporters, including clinical faculty, argue that more hands-on training is essential for preparing practice-ready attorneys and believe the financial concerns are overstated.Some, like Cornell's Gautam Hans, expressed cautious optimism about the changes, while others, like Northwestern's Daniel Rodriguez, say the revisions don't go far enough to address core issues, particularly the lack of data supporting the proposed changes.ABA seeks to salvage law school hands-on learning proposal amid pushback from deans | ReutersIn an exclusive at Bloomberg Law, an SEC whistleblower alleges Paul Weiss and Reed Smith helped conceal $500 million in biotech risk. Two top law firms are accused in a whistleblower complaint filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of hiding a legal dispute that could have jeopardized a $500 million biotech merger. The complaint, obtained exclusively by Bloomberg Law, was filed by Joel Cohen—best known for co-writing Toy Story—who claims he and his wife were defrauded out of at least $38 million by Sofie Biosciences Inc.Cohen alleges Sofie and its lawyers concealed his legal threats from disclosures during the company's majority-stake sale to private equity firm Trilantic North America. Central to the dispute is Sofie's use of a $2.5 million appraisal from Kroll LLC to value a cancer-imaging facility acquired in 2019—an amount Cohen claims was intentionally low in order to reduce his and other noteholders' payout in Series B preferred shares.The whistleblower complaint accuses Paul Weiss partner Jeffrey Marell and Reed Smith partner Michael Sanders of knowingly excluding Cohen's legal demands from merger documents, possibly violating federal securities laws. Internal emails cited in the complaint show Sofie executives feared the deal would fall apart if Cohen's claims became public.Sofie and its legal team argue Cohen waived his rights through broad releases signed during the merger and that the appraisal complied with contractual terms. However, Cohen and his wife had assigned their claims to a separate LLC, which the whistleblower says was not covered by those waivers.Two related lawsuits filed in California claim that Reed Smith represented conflicting interests and helped structure the asset financing in a way that disadvantaged noteholders. The firm denies any wrongdoing and says it never represented Cohen or the other lenders. A court ruling is expected soon on whether Cohen can access documents related to the Kroll valuation.Paul Weiss, Reed Smith Accused of Coverup by SEC WhistleblowerIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I talk a bit about state sales tax kickback schemes. Louisiana's 2012 “procurement processing program” was originally promoted as a way to support research and development, but instead has funneled the vast majority of collected sales tax—over 90% in some years—back to consultants and out-of-state companies. The scheme works by enticing payment processing subsidiaries to reroute sales through Louisiana, allowing the state to collect taxes on transactions that didn't actually occur within its borders. These taxes were meant to support research institutions, but in practice, virtually none of the funds have reached them. In 2023 alone, $67 million of the $73 million collected was rebated, and 2022 figures were worse.This program reflects a broader issue across many states: public incentive deals are being handed out with little to no accountability. Unlike private contracts, where each party protects its own interests and can demand repayment when promises aren't kept, public deals often lack enforceable clawback provisions. Louisiana does include a limited recapture clause in its statute—but it only ensures proper paperwork, not fulfillment of public benefits.Other states like California have taken modest steps, such as requiring disclosure of such deals, but few have adopted strong clawback mechanisms. Until public incentive agreements require concrete, verifiable results to justify tax rebates—and include provisions to recover funds when promises fall through—they risk becoming little more than tax shelters for private interests.​​Louisiana's Tax-Share Problems Prove Clawbacks Must Be Standard This is a public episode.

It's Thursday, August 7th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pakistani Christian died after years of neglect in prison International Christian Concern reports that a 25-year-old Christian man in Pakistan died last Thursday after years of neglect in prison. When he was 16, Nabeel Masih was accused of posting an image on Facebook, allegedly insulting an Islamic holy site. Police deleted the post, erasing any evidence of what he actually posted. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, becoming the youngest person convicted of blasphemy against Islam in the country.  Pakistan's Supreme Court granted Masih bail in 2020. However, he had already suffered years of neglect, abuse, and lack of medical care, leading to his recent death. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Billy Graham Association helping defend European Christians The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is extending its legal defense fund to Christians across Europe. Evangelist Franklin Graham started the fund for defending religious freedom in the United Kingdom. This came after he won multiple lawsuits against British venues that cancelled their events. The fund has grown to $1.3 million. Franklin Graham told Fox News Digital, “We took the damages that we won through BGEA's court cases in the U.K., and put those funds into the Billy Graham Defense Fund — a new ‘war chest' to help other Christians in Europe who are threatened or intimidated into silence and not expressing their faith.” Army Sergeant shot 5 co-workers on Georgia Army base Bad news from a U.S. Army base in Georgia. LUBAS: “An active duty soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot and wounded five of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully, all are in stable condition and all are expected to recover.” That was Brigadier General John Lubas on Wednesday afternoon. The soldier shooter has been identified as Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford, reports The U.S. Sun. Radford, age 28, is in custody after he allegedly opened fire at his workplace at the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area just before 11:00 am. The base was briefly locked down. Police said they have not learned more about his motive. Here's the good news. LUBAS: “I would also like to thank the brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subdued the shooter. These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties.” Planned Parenthood closes only two abortion mills in Louisiana Planned Parenthood is closing its only two locations in Louisiana.  The abortion giant operated in the state for 40 years previously.  Ben Clapper, the executive director of Louisiana Right to Life, told LifeNews, “Effective September 30th, Planned Parenthood will close both its New Orleans and Baton Rouge facilities. What a powerful victory for life. … To each of you who have prayed, volunteered, given, and stood with us—thank you!” With the two closures, Planned Parenthood has closed a total of 40 abortion mills this year. U.S. Health Dept cancels $500 million of mRNA vaccine projects The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it is cancelling $500 million worth of mRNA vaccine development projects. The department said it will focus instead on “platforms with stronger safety records and transparent clinical and manufacturing data practices.” Listen to comments from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. KENNEDY: “Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract. … “After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses.” 28% of school boards referenced DEI in second quarter The school tracking website Burbio reports that the prevalence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion terms in district school board meetings is down. The Trump administration has prohibited federal funding to recipients that engage in unlawful discrimination practices. This includes DEI programs. During the second quarter of this year, only 28% of school boards referenced such DEI terms, down from 38% last year. Gunman opened fire at a Seattle church event And finally, an unidentified gunman opened fire on a church event in Seattle last Thursday, July 31st.  Tragically, he killed 28-year-old LeBron Givaun near the steps of the church as he arrived with his family at the young adult service at Pursuit Church. He had just gotten married a week earlier and had converted to Christianity just this year. A GoFundMe campaign for LeBron's family has already raised over $70,000. The unidentified suspect reportedly shot the victim in the chest before fleeing the scene in a white Hyundai Elantra with black wheels and a damaged passenger window, reports The Daily. It's not the first time the church has faced attacks. Rioters assaulted church members at a worship event earlier this year.  Listen to comments from Russell Johnson, the pastor of Pursuit Church. JOHNSON: “The thugs who committed this crime were trying to send a message: no church is safe, no house of worship is sacred. The enemy would love for us to back down and hide, but that is simply not who we are. “And although the blood of LeBron is still stained on the front steps of our building, I'm here today to tell you there is a blood that speaks a better word. And it is the precious blood of Jesus that covers us today and provides forgiveness, protection, blessing, and healing.” Revelation 12:11 says the church overcame the Devil “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 7th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

On July 4th, President Trump signed into law the comprehensive budget plan, known as the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill.' The President announced that there's hardly a livelihood that this bill would not benefit. Over the weekend, the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing at the Reagan Library in California to listen to those who praised the bill. However, since President Trump signed it, Democrats have kept up their opposition to the budget plan. Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) joins the Rundown to discuss how the 'big bill' will benefit Americans.  An increasing number of Americans are choosing to work for themselves. According to new research from Statista, more than half of the workforce in the United States is expected to be freelancing by 2028. In response, lawmakers are advocating for independent workers to receive voluntary, portable workplace benefits. In the meantime, gig workers in some states are already benefiting from a pilot program launched by DoorDash that offers a savings account. The Vice President and Global Head of Public Policy at DoorDash, Max Rettig, joins the podcast to discuss the details of this program.

The President of the Philippines was at the White House on Tuesday visiting President Trump, discussing the issue of China and their ambitions to expand. U.S. lawmakers have asked the Defense Department to study building a joint munitions hub in the Philippines, as China continues to menace other nations crossing through the South China Sea. When it comes to American military spending, we are on track to allocate more than $920 billion in the next fiscal year, and it appears there's bipartisan support to fully fund this Pacific Deterrence Initiative. Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott sits on the Armed Services and Homeland Security Committee, and he joined the Rundown to discuss the long-term threats posed by both China and Iran. The CDC reports an estimated 48,422 deaths from synthetic opioids, mostly fentanyl, in 2024. With a dangerous amount of the drug supply now laced with this deadly substance, overdose deaths are surging, especially among young people. President Trump recently signed the Halt Fentanyl Act, expanding law enforcement's ability to crack down on traffickers. Gregory Swan, who lost his son Drew to a fentanyl overdose in 2013, co-founded Fentanyl Fathers to raise awareness and prevent more families from suffering the same loss. He joins the Rundown to discuss his mission: educating students, empowering parents, and mobilizing a movement to fight the fentanyl crisis.

Jury Foreman Slams State's Case After Acquittal in Fatal Stabbing of Prep School Student The foreman of the jury that acquitted Raul Valle of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old lacrosse player James “Jimmy” McGrath has criticized the prosecution's case, saying it lacked the evidence necessary to support a conviction. Valle, now 20, was found not guilty on Wednesday of murder, first-degree manslaughter with intent to cause serious physical injury, and first-degree assault with intent to cause serious physical injury. These charges stemmed from a violent altercation on May 14, 2022, during a house party in Shelton, an affluent suburb in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The incident occurred during a night of back-to-back high school parties. McGrath, a student at Fairfield College Preparatory School, was fatally stabbed in the chest during a brawl involving dozens of teenagers. Valle, a student at nearby St. Joseph High School in Trumbull, admitted to wielding a knife during the fight but testified he did not intend to kill anyone and acted in self-defense during a chaotic melee. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision on two lesser included charges—second-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault, both based on recklessness. As a result, a partial mistrial was declared on those counts. Jim Stuhlman, the jury foreman and 10th juror, read the not-guilty verdict in court. Speaking to News 3 afterward, Stuhlman said, “They just didn't have enough to prove the case. There were too many inconsistencies and contradictions in the testimony.” He explained that jurors quickly dismissed the idea that Valle had intentionally killed McGrath. “The prosecution failed to prove intent,” he said, adding that the jury followed legal instructions carefully. “We did what we were supposed to do.” Stuhlman acknowledged the difficulty of the case, saying, “Not everyone will be happy with the conclusion. We weren't happy that we couldn't find agreement on the final counts, but we did everything we could to get as far as we did.” The partial mistrial leaves open the possibility of further legal action. On Thursday, Fox News Digital confirmed that the state of Connecticut plans to retry Valle on the unresolved reckless manslaughter and reckless assault charges. Outside the courthouse, Jimmy McGrath's father, Kevin McGrath, expressed disbelief over the verdict. “I'm astonished at the results,” he said. “But it's due process. [Valle] is entitled to it. The jury made their decision.” He admitted he was confident there would be a conviction after learning a verdict had been reached. “I'm shocked. I thought we were going to get some justice today,” McGrath said. Despite his disappointment, he acknowledged that Valle received a fair trial. “I don't believe Raul Valle woke up that Saturday morning planning to kill Jimmy,” he added. “They didn't even know each other. But my son is gone, and the person who took his life is free tonight.” During the trial, Valle testified that he never intended to harm anyone. He said the fight began at a home on Lazy Brook Road, then continued at a second house party on Laurel Glen Drive. Valle said a friend handed him a knife during the brawl, and that he swung it defensively in a panic as he was being surrounded and attacked. He claimed he briefly lost consciousness during the fight. McGrath suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest and was pronounced dead later that night. The McGrath family is now pursuing civil litigation against multiple parties they believe bear responsibility for the events of that evening.  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Jury Foreman Slams State's Case After Acquittal in Fatal Stabbing of Prep School Student The foreman of the jury that acquitted Raul Valle of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old lacrosse player James “Jimmy” McGrath has criticized the prosecution's case, saying it lacked the evidence necessary to support a conviction. Valle, now 20, was found not guilty on Wednesday of murder, first-degree manslaughter with intent to cause serious physical injury, and first-degree assault with intent to cause serious physical injury. These charges stemmed from a violent altercation on May 14, 2022, during a house party in Shelton, an affluent suburb in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The incident occurred during a night of back-to-back high school parties. McGrath, a student at Fairfield College Preparatory School, was fatally stabbed in the chest during a brawl involving dozens of teenagers. Valle, a student at nearby St. Joseph High School in Trumbull, admitted to wielding a knife during the fight but testified he did not intend to kill anyone and acted in self-defense during a chaotic melee. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision on two lesser included charges—second-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault, both based on recklessness. As a result, a partial mistrial was declared on those counts. Jim Stuhlman, the jury foreman and 10th juror, read the not-guilty verdict in court. Speaking to News 3 afterward, Stuhlman said, “They just didn't have enough to prove the case. There were too many inconsistencies and contradictions in the testimony.” He explained that jurors quickly dismissed the idea that Valle had intentionally killed McGrath. “The prosecution failed to prove intent,” he said, adding that the jury followed legal instructions carefully. “We did what we were supposed to do.” Stuhlman acknowledged the difficulty of the case, saying, “Not everyone will be happy with the conclusion. We weren't happy that we couldn't find agreement on the final counts, but we did everything we could to get as far as we did.” The partial mistrial leaves open the possibility of further legal action.

Sean Combs, also known to the world as Puffy or P Diddy, is once again making headlines, but this time it's for dramatic legal reasons rather than music or business. After a high-profile seven-week federal trial in New York, Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, though he was acquitted of the most serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, according to CBS News New York and reporting from Fox News Digital. He remains detained ahead of his sentencing, which is scheduled for October 3.This conviction comes after explosive allegations, months of tabloid speculation, and testimony from several former associates. Dawn Richard, a former member of Diddy – Dirty Money and one of the trial's key witnesses, painted a troubling picture of her years working with Combs. Her lawsuit accused him of nearly a decade of sexual and verbal abuse, as well as withholding royalties and wages, retaliation, assault, and false imprisonment. Richard's claims are part of a broader wave of accusations Combs has faced, many emerging since Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in late 2023.Throughout the trial, details of so-called “freak-off parties,” drug use, and violence within Combs' personal relationships surfaced, leading the judge to deny his bail, citing concerns for public safety. Prosecutors, although Combs could theoretically face up to 20 years in prison—ten for each count—have recommended a sentence between four and five years. The defense team continues to fight, promising appeals and vowing, in the words of lead counsel Marc Agnifilo, that “we're not going to stop until he walks out of prison a free man to his family.”The fallout has stretched beyond the courtroom. 50 Cent, a longtime rival, took to social media with a barrage of posts lampooning Combs, including sharing AI-generated videos and referencing incidents described during the trial. Meanwhile, former collaborators and industry insiders are debating what this verdict means for the future of hip-hop and celebrity accountability.As the sentencing date approaches, Combs' legal battles and the surrounding spectacle continue to captivate the public and dominate entertainment news.

One of the alternate jurors, who spoke with Fox News Digital, said Diddy's defense team was effective in undermining the prosecution's case, particularly during cross-examinations.

Though not part of the final deliberations, they said they would have reached the same decision on the racketeering count and emphasized the importance of the trial process.

This week, a tug-of-war over the Trump administration's sweeping tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's tariffs, arguing the act did not give the President unbounded tariff authority. The White House economic team is confident the administration will defeat this legal challenge, with an appeals court already ruling that these tariffs can remain in effect pending the appeal. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to highlight this legal challenge to the President's tariffs, Elon Musk's departure from the Trump administration, and investigations being launched into the Biden administration. President Trump wants a lot more nuclear power production in the United States, signing executive orders a week ago focused on quadrupling U.S. capacity within 25 years. Nuclear power has long been associated with high-profile disasters and fears of mishaps, but nuclear advocates say it actually is cleaner and safer than fossil fuels. Jacob DeWitte is the co-founder and CEO of nuclear technology company Oklo, and he was at the executive order signing. He joins the podcast to explain the strides made in making nuclear reactors safer and more efficient. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

As Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial progresses, reports indicate that several high-profile celebrities are seeking legal counsel to avoid potential subpoenas. TMZ founder Harvey Levin revealed to Fox News Digital that some celebrities are concerned about being called to testify and have "lawyered up" in an effort to prevent this. While specific names have not been disclosed, the trial has already seen testimonies from notable figures such as Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. Additionally, other celebrities, including Michael B. Jordan, Usher, and Jennifer Lopez, have been mentioned during proceedings, though none have been accused of wrongdoing.The apprehension among celebrities stems from the prosecution's strategy of presenting a comprehensive narrative of Combs' alleged misconduct, which includes testimonies about his behavior in various social settings.

The United States and the UK have reached a trade deal that gives the American agriculture industry far greater access to the UK markets. President Trump called the new agreement "historic," pledging it will reduce the non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminate against American products by ensuring American farmers and ranchers can sell their goods to global markets. First, Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins joins the Rundown to discuss the expansion of U.S. farm products into the UK and what the President teased as "billions of dollars of export opportunities produced by America's great farmers." Later, farmer and author of "Land Rich, Cash Poor," Brian Reisinger, joins to discuss how the deal delivers relief to U.S. farmers after the squeeze of tariffs. Over the weekend, news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.
