From the moment he was born, Grady Stiles entertained audiences around the United States as the sideshow performer “Lobster Boy.” But behind the scenes, Stiles' life was one of turmoil, alcoholism, and even murder. That all came to an end one night in the fall of 1992, when a killer entered Stiles' Florida home and shot him to death. In the days that followed Grady Stiles murder, investigators quickly unraveled a conspiracy plot to kill Stiles, which had been set in motion by his wife, Mary Theresa, and his stepson, who'd hired a teenage carnival worker to commit the murder. After a lifetime in the spotlight because of his physical deformity, it was Grady Stiles' death that brought him the ultimate fame, but what had he done to earn such a brutal end?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAllen, William. 1978.

Depuis une semaine, plusieurs organisations du Plateau central bloquent la centrale hydroélectrique de Péligre, la principale source d'électricité d'Haïti, pour protester contre l'inaction de l'État face à l'insécurité croissante dans la région. Nous en parlons avec Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Les villes de Saut d'Eau et de Mirebalais sont particulièrement touchées par les gangs armés. Les manifestants réclament des services publics essentiels, la sécurité, et un traitement équitable en matière de distribution d'électricité, selon le directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Ce mouvement se présente comme une « prise en main citoyenne face à l'effondrement des institutions publiques » et le sentiment général que l'État a largement abandonné la population. Cette mobilisation plonge la capitale Port-au-Prince dans un black-out depuis le 13 mai 2025. Alterpresse souligne que ce mouvement intervient dans un contexte sécuritaire alarmant. Gotson Pierre revient aussi sur la fête du drapeau, le 18 mai dernier, qui s'est déroulé dans un climat tendu. Face à l'inaction du gouvernement, le discours du coordonnateur du Conseil présidentiel de transition (Cpt), Fritz Alphonse Jean, qui a appelé les Haïtiens à l'unité et à la résilience, a été vivement critiqué, selon le directeur d'Alterpresse.Omerta sur l'acuité mentale de Joe Biden ?  – les révélations explosives du livre enquête « Original Sin » Ce mardi, sort aux États-Unis le livre évènement « Original Sin », « Péché originel ». Il raconte comment l'entourage de l'ancien président démocrate l'a isolé des mauvaises nouvelles et a dissimulé la dégradation flagrante de son état physique et cognitif. Selon les auteurs, Alex Thompson, d'Axios, et Jake Tapper, de CNN, la Maison Blanche de Joe Biden « a trompé le peuple américain ». L'obstination de Joe Biden et de ses proches a directement conduit à la défaite démocrate face à Donald Trump, malgré la campagne éclair de Kamala Harris, soulignent les deux journalistes. Nous en parlons avec le spécialiste des États-Unis, Romuald Sciora, chercheur associé à l'IRIS. À lire aussiSanté mentale de Biden: «Plus qu'un mensonge d'État, un crime contre la démocratie américaine»« Trump se fait mener en bateau par Poutine » La presse nord-américaine commente abondamment la conversation téléphonique entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine, et se montre très critique de l'attitude du président américain, Achim Lippold.« Donald Trump n'est pas connu pour sa patience ni pour sa clémence envers ceux qui défient sa volonté », écrit le Washington Post. Ces derniers jours, il s'en est pris tour à tour à la procureure générale de New York, à Bruce Springsteen, à Beyoncé et à l'ancien directeur du FBI James B. Comey — tous visiblement coupables, à ses yeux, de l'avoir contrarié d'une manière ou d'une autre. Mais, poursuit le journal, « lorsqu'il s'agit du dictateur russe Vladimir Poutine — qui continue de saboter les efforts de Donald Trump pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine —, le président américain fait preuve d'une patience, d'une bienveillance et d'une compréhension sans fin. En coulisses, Donald Trump se plaint que mettre fin à une guerre est plus difficile qu'il ne le pensait. « Sans blague », commente le Washington Post et suggère au chef de la Maison Blanche de traiter Vladimir Poutine comme il traite tous ceux qui lui tiennent tête. Mais pour l'instant, conclut le Washington Post, c'est Vladimir Poutine qui mène Donald Trump en bateau, et le président américain ne semble pas s'en rendre compte.Trump pourrait se désengager de la guerre en Ukraine car de son point de vue, c'est une affaire purement européenne. Selon cette idée, que l'aide américaine serait donc un geste charitable, plutôt qu'un impératif stratégique. Or, The New York Times avertit que cette vision est dangereusement simpliste. Selon le quotidien, Vladimir Poutine ne se limite pas à l'Ukraine : il cherche à remettre en cause l'ordre européen d'après-Guerre froide et à restaurer l'influence globale de la Russie au détriment des États-Unis. Un accord de paix mal négocié risquerait de fragiliser l'Europe — un partenaire économique majeur de l'Amérique — et d'aggraver les défis géopolitiques auxquels Washington est déjà confronté. Le journal conclut que l'administration Trump devra tôt ou tard affronter le Kremlin, Mais plus elle attend, plus cela coûtera cher aux États-Unis.La Cour Suprême autorise l'administration Trump à révoquer le statut de protection temporaire pour les migrants vénézuéliens. Le gouvernement pourra donc expulser quelque 350.000 Vénézuéliens, alors que cette affaire est jugée devant les tribunaux. Mais chez les Vénézuéliens de Miami, c'est la panique. Une Vénézuélienne citée par le Miami Herald dénonce une « décision cruelle » qui laisse des milliers de personnes dans un vide juridique. Ils pourraient perdre leur statut et leur autorisation de travail. Selon cette habitante d'Orlando, la Cour Suprême « fait fi de la dignité humaine et des valeurs fondamentales américaines, comme celle de protéger ceux qui ne peuvent pas rentrer chez eux en sécurité ». Et Cecilia González Herrera, c'est son nom, de poursuivre : « Nous sommes des gens honnêtes — étudiants, enseignants, soignants, survivants — qui contribuent grandement à ce pays. Nous méritons mieux que de vivre dans la peur d'être renvoyés vers un pays dangereux. ». Le journal El Nacional souligne qu'en Floride, où résident environ la moitié des plus de 600.000 Vénézuéliens présents sur le territoire américain, beaucoup avaient voté pour Donald Trump, pensant qu'il soutiendrait leur combat contre le président Nicolas Maduro. La suppression du TPS est d'autant plus dure pour cette communauté car ce statut de résidence temporaire est maintenu pour d'autres nationalités, comme les Salvadoriens. Journal de la 1ère Dernière ligne droite pour la campagne sucrière.

The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly tells us why the Dolphins fear Jalen Ramsey and which areas of the team are going to be problems this season.

Today on the show we celebrate the Panthers heading to their third straight Eastern Conference Finals and how incredible it is that they are now the most consistent franchise in town. The NBA Conference Finals are set and why the league needs the Knicks to keep advancing. Joe has a fiery rant about the Dolphins culture. Today we were joined by former Panther Ed Jovanovski and the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly.

Part 3 - "Wake Up! The Bandits Are Coming!"At the end of March this year, officers from the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) responded to a request for assistance when an armoured Haitian National Police vehicle became stuck in a ditch near Pont-Sondé in Artibonite. The ditch was believed to have been dug by a local gang.As the MSS officers arrived to help, they were ambushed by armed men, allegedly from the Gran Grif gang. During the firefight, three armoured vehicles were set on fire, and one MSS officer went missing, presumed killed. This incident marked the second casualty for the Kenyans in about a month.The MSS was deployed to Haiti to help stabilize the security situation and combat the growing power of gangs. Unfortunately, since their arrival, the MSS has faced the same challenges as the Haitian National Police: a lack of manpower, inadequate equipment, and insufficient funding. The gangs continue to maintain the upper hand.Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate.In the final part of this series on Haiti, we will explore the challenges facing the Haitian National Police, the fall of beleaguered Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the rising confidence of the Viv Ansanm gang, the arrival and difficulties encountered by MSS officers, and the escalating humanitarian disaster in the country.SpeakersJacqueline Charles, Haiti/Caribbean Correspondent, Miami Herald.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's episode is for anyone who's ever thought, “Maybe you can joke your way through life after all.” Because our guest today—Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, bestselling author, and unofficial king of common sense absurdity—Dave Barry—has done just that. Yes, that Dave Barry. The man who warned us about exploding toilets, tangled with telemarketers until they stopped answering their own phones, and wrote the kind of newspaper columns that made you snort coffee out your nose on a Sunday morning. He's been called “the funniest man in America” by the New York Times, and in his latest book, Class Clown, he finally turns that razor-sharp wit on himself. Today's conversation is a fun one, although, and you can hear this…I was nervous. At one point during a roundabout question from me, Dave asks: “ iwas wondering wehre you were going with that?” I left it in the edit for your enjoyment. I've talked to 100's of big time guests from all walks of life, like Smithsonian, Prevention Magazine, Good Housekeeping and have never been tongue tied or nervous…not today. That's on me as, Dave is a wonderful guest, and he shares what it was like growing up in a world before Wi-Fi, when entertainment meant throwing rocks and preparing for nuclear war by hiding under desks. He talks about his path from a rock band in the '60s to the pages of The Miami Herald, where he turned exploding Pop-Tarts and Rollerblade Barbie into Pulitzer-worthy satire. And yes—he really was almost crushed by a bale of airborne cocaine. Florida, folks. But more than just laughs, Dave opens up about his late parents, his unique upbringing, and the emotional truth behind humor that doesn't always mean happiness. It's a rich, honest, and uproarious reminder that growing older doesn't mean growing dull—and that maybe, just maybe, the class clown gets the last word. Stay with us—because the very funny, very thoughtful Dave Barry is here. And this is The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living series, with me, award-winning host Paul Vogelzang.

In hour Tua , Tobin & Leroy take a look at an article from the Miami Herald written by our guy Omar Kelly about Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and how his ways of coaching and running the franchise is waning on the players. We talk Panthers vs maple Leafs game 5 tomorrow night in Toronto and is getting testy with the physicality of the series. The guys talk UFC as Jon Jones is being called out by Tom Aspinall

On today's episode of the Tobin & Leroy show, the guys recap an eventful Monday night in the world of sports. In the NBA Playoffs the New York Knicks upended the Boston Celtics 121-113 to take a 3-1 series lead. That loss was much more than a loss for the Celtics as their All Star Jayson Tatum suffered an Achilles injury. The landscape of the NBA Eastern conference might've changed last night and hos does this affect how the Heat make moves in the summer? Also in the NBA Playoffs, The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Golden State Warriors to take a 3-1 commanding series lead. In a game they needed "Playoff Jimmy" Jimmy Butler had plus minus of -30 and it brought Heat fans pettiness out. Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald wrote an article about Mike McDaniel and how he maybe losing the locker room. The Panthers and Leafs are tied at 2 in their 2nd round series. There has been talk about the physicality off this series and when asked Panthers head coach Paul Maurice answered it the only he can.

Part 1:We talk with Cameron Joseph, who is s a senior Washington reporter for The Christian Science Monitor.  Prior to that, he was a freelance reporter with work in publications including The Guardian, The Columbia Journalism Review, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Politico Magazine. He previously was a staff reporter for VICE News, Talking Points Memo, the New York Daily News, The Hill, and National Journal.

He is a recipient of the 2023National Press Foundation Dirksen Award for distinguished reporting on Congress and the 2020National Press Club award for excellence in political journalism.We discuss the increasing more authoritarian aspect of the current administration. Trump ignores the rule of law, and has essentially taken control of the media, which do not correct his statements. Congress is completely dysfunctional.Part 2:We talk with Robert Hennelly, who is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist focusing on labor, public health, national security, the economy, public finance and the environment. He is the New York City Hall reporter for Work-Bites and his weekly Monday morning radio program on WBAI closely tracks the latest local, regional and national labor movement news. Hennelly is also a regular contributor to InsiderNJ,  Salon, the Village Voice, Raw Story and City & State. For over a decade, he was a reporter for WNYC covering New Jersey, New York and national politics. For several years, he was also the City Hall reporter for the Chief Leader newspaper, and a regular contributor to WBGO, the NPR jazz affiliate in Newark, NJ. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press, CBS Money Watch, and dozens of other publications both in the United States and overseas.His book Stucknation: Can the US Change the Course of Its History of Choosing Profits Over People was published in 2022 by Democracy@Work.We discuss the arrest of Mayor Baraka of Newark, NJ. The Gestapo tactics used during an occasion when the mayor was performing his official duty are disturbing.

Ralph welcomes back Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, to update us on that group's latest efforts to save American democracy by lobbying to raise wages for workers and tax the rich. Plus, according to our resident constitutional expert, Bruce Fein, the count of Trump's impeachable offenses is now up to twenty-two and rising faster than a Space X rocket.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.What we saw on January 20th, I believe, was the result of a global oligarchical coup who just took the Queen on the chessboard. When you've got three people whose combined worth is around a trillion dollars standing behind who is an unethical at least, criminal at worst billionaire president, Houston, we have a problem here. And the problem is not actually Donald Trump. The problem is the preconditions that led to the rise of a vulnerability to an authoritarian leader and an oligarchy. And that vulnerability was brought about by the actions of both parties over decades.Erica PayneIf you ran a business, Ralph, would you ever fire your accounts receivable department? No. It would be the last department you would cut. So then it says he's either stupid because that's what he's cutting, which I think is probably inaccurate. So if he's not stupid, then why is he doing it? And he's doing it for the same reason that lawmakers have hacked at the IRS budget forever—they don't want their donors to get taxed. They don't want their donors to be audited. And so they cut the cops. So all these folks who are griping about black Americans calling to defund the police are actually defunding the police that is keeping them in line and keeping them honest.Erica PayneAt a divided moment in America, I think we can agree that the federal government shouldn't tax people into poverty, and (to the extent necessary) rich people should pick up the difference.Erica PayneBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.I start out with the fundamental idea of due process—you simply cannot deprive someone of liberty without giving them an opportunity to explain or to refute what allegations the government has made. And the reason why I start out with that, Ralph, is we've had an experiment in World War II with what happens when you have no due process. We did that with 120,000 Japanese Americans. No, we just said that they're all likely to commit espionage or sabotage, got to put them in concentration camps. We made 120,000 errors (and later apologized for it in 1988). So there's a reason due process is not simply an academic concept. It's essential to preventing these kinds of egregious instances of injustice from happening.Bruce FeinThe Democrats and a lot of liberal economists are not keeping up with the horror show that's going on. They don't use words like cruel and vicious. They don't turn Trump's words like deranged, crazed, corrupt on him. They're still using words like authoritarian practices, or problematic, or distressing, or disconcerting, or concerning. They're not catching up with the horror show here. That's why Trump continues to have a soliloquy. The Democratic Party is now having gatherings to see how are they going to collectively deal with Trump? How does a bank deal with a bank robber? They let the bank robber rob the bank and flee with the gold while they deliberate how they're going to deal with a bank robber they see coming into the bank?Ralph NaderNews 5/2/251. At the eleventh hour, Representative Jim Jordan – Chair of the House Judiciary Committee – pulled his measure to strip the Federal Trade Commission of its antitrust enforcement powers and consolidate those within the Justice Department, Reuters reports. “The House panel…had included the proposal in its budget package on Monday. During a hearing on the package…the committee passed an amendment that would remove the measure.” Trump's FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson opposed Jordan's move and intervened with the White House. As Reuters notes, “The proposal mirrored the One Agency Act, a Republican bill that has gotten support from Elon Musk…[which] would effectively repeal the FTC's...authority to sue companies over unfair methods of competition, which the agency is using in cases against pharmacy benefit managers, Amazon…and John Deere.” In short, the FTC's antitrust powers survive today, but there is no guarantee about tomorrow.2. Yet, while avoiding the worst possible outcome on the corporate crime front, the Trump administration is still hard at work going soft on corporate crooks. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports “Two Wells Fargo execs had their fines reduced by 90% (related to the bank's accounting scandal) by Trump's [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency].” Claypool links to a piece in Radical Compliance, which explains that “David Julian, former chief auditor at Wells Fargo, saw his fines cut from $7 million to $100,000 [and] Paul McLinko, executive audit director, had his fines cut from $1.5 million to $50,000.” Both Julian and McLinko were part of the senior leadership team at Wells Fargo in the 2010s, when regulators “charged the bank with turning a blind eye to employees opening bank accounts without customer consent to hit sales quotas. That misconduct eventually led to a $3 billion settlement with Wells Fargo in 2020.”3. Lest you think the Democrats are in danger of seriously opposing Trump's policies, the Bulwark reports that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is putting the kibosh on the recent spate of Democrats' trips to El Salvador exposing the reality of the CECOT deportation scheme. This report alleges that “Cory Booker and the Hispanic Caucus were planning on going [to El Salvador],” but are no longer. Perhaps worse, Jeffries is not giving clear marching orders to the party rank and file. One Democrat is quoted saying “As a member of a party you need to be disciplined…They say, ‘Get on a plane,' ‘Don't get on a plane'—that's what you do. Nine out ten times you do what they ask. But you can't take that approach if you're not having regular communications… You have to be clear in messaging what the plan is and you have to do that regularly if you want to keep people in line.” This is just another example of Jeffries' weak and indecisive leadership of the caucus.4. Advocates are having more luck resisting the administration's overreach in court. On Wednesday, Mohsen Mahdawi – the Columbia student faced with deportation after being lured into an ICE trap with the false promise of a citizenship test – was freed by a federal judge, POLITICO reports. After the judge ordered his release, Mahdawi told the press “I am saying it clear and loud…To President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you.” Mahdawi's ordeal is not over, but he will remain free while his case winds its way through the courts and a previous order blocked the administration from changing venues, meaning the case will proceed in the relatively liberal Second Circuit.5. Mahmoud Khalil also scored a major legal victory this week. The Huffington Post reports that the ICE agents sent to arrest Khalil did not, contrary to their false claims in court, have an arrest warrant. Amy Greer, a lawyer for Khalil, is quoted saying “Today, we now know why [the government] never showed Mahmoud [a] warrant — they didn't have one. This is clearly yet another desperate attempt by the Trump administration to justify its unlawful arrest and detention of human rights defender Mahmoud Khalil, who is now, by the government's own tacit admission, a political prisoner of the United States.” The ACLU, also defending Khalil, has now moved for this case to be dismissed.6. Despite these victories though, the repression of anything pro-Palestine continues. At Yale, Prem Thakker reports hundreds of students protested in advance of a speech by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's radical National Security Minister who has previously been arrested many times for inciting racism and supporting pro-Jewish terrorism in Israel itself. Yet the university responded by “stripp[ing] the school's Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter…of its status as an official student group.” If students cannot even protest Ben-Gvir, what will the colleges regard as legitimate protest of Israel?7. In Yemen, Ryan Grim reports on CounterPoints that the Trump administration has been targeting strikes against the Houthis using data gleaned from amateur Open-Source Intelligence or OSINT accounts on X, formerly Twitter. Unsurprisingly, these are completely inaccurate and have led to disastrous strikes on civilians' homes, incorrectly identifying them as “Houthi bases.” One of these accounts is based in Houston, Texas, and another as far away as the Netherlands.8. According to a new World Bank report, Mexico reduced poverty more than any other Latin American country between 2018 and 2023. Not coincidentally, this lines up almost perfectly with the AMLO years in Mexico, which saw a massive increase in the Mexican minimum wage along with other social rights and protections. These policies are now being taken forward by AMLO's successor Claudia Sheinbaum, whose popularity has now surpassed even that of her predecessor, per Bloomberg.9. In Australia, Virginia Giuffre – the most outspoken accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell – has passed away at the age of 41, the BBC reports. Police concluded that Ms. Giuffre died by suicide and her family released a statement indicating that the “toll of abuse... became unbearable.” Yet, her death was preceded by a bizarre chain of events. On March 31st, the BBC reported that Ms. Giuffre's car collided with a school bus, sending her into renal failure with her doctors saying she had “four days to live.” The Miami Herald also reported “At the time of her death, Giuffre had been in a contentious divorce and child custody battle with her husband, Robert.” The family's statement continued “The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; [but] early indication is the death is not suspicious.” One can only hope more details come to light.10. Finally, in a different kind of bizarre story, embattled incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams – who has already given up on the Democratic primary and was running for reelection as an independent – will now appear on two new ballot lines “EndAntiSemitism” and “Safe&Affordable,” POLITICO reports. Adams has gone to great lengths to cultivate and maintain his support in the Orthodox Jewish community in New York and is seeking to highlight his strengths and undercut former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, Adams only needs to secure 3,750 signatures from voters by May 27 for each of these ballot lines, a shockingly low threshold for the largest city in America. These ballot lines will appear without spaces, coming in just under the wire for the city's 15-character limit on ballot lines.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Virginia Giuffre died by suicide last week, aged 41. Jeffrey Epstein's key accuser was instrumental in putting Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars and had also accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault. He's always denied the claims and settled the case for a rumoured £12 million. So was justice done for Giuffre and the other survivors? And how did a woman from the right side of the tracks end up being trafficked around the world?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

After, Zach Gelb joins the show and claims Heat culture is dead and that Riley should retire.

Part 2 - 'Fighting Back'In 2022, a video emerged of an alleged senior gang member, Zo Pwason, who had been caught by an armed group of Haitian citizens, led by Commissioner Jean-Ernest Muscadin. Zo Pwason was allegedly a senior member of the 5 Segond gang. He was executed by the armed group.Muscadin declared that “As long as I am government commissioner, the city of Miragoâne will remain a cemetery for bandits”.In this episode we look at those citizens that have fought back against the growing power of the gangs, and the emergence of the 'Bwa Kale' movement in 2023. These self-defence or vigilante groups protect their neighbourhoods from the gangs, and target suspected gang members.We'll discuss how the gangs control areas through violence, limiting movement and the frequent targeting women and girls.But we'll also follow on from the last episode and explore the connections to other illicit markets like drugs and people smuggling, as well as the proliferation of firearms flowing into the country, the vast majority of which come from the US.And finally, we'll discuss the previous scandal-ridden recent UN mission to the country.SpeakersJacqueline Charles, Haiti/Caribbean Correspondent, Miami Herald.

Episode 58 When Michelle Taylor lost her son in a tragic house fire, she thought the nightmare couldn't get worse. She was wrong. Fueled by junk science, broken forensics, and a crime lab running on expired credibility, the prosecutors turned a grieving mother into a murder suspect. Twelve debris samples. Twelve false positives. And a justice system more interested in closing a case than finding the truth. This is the story of how bad science—and worse judgment—can burn an innocent life to the ground. Michelle Taylor stands for sentencing on May 30th. The fire didn't destroy her life. The system did. A mother's grief. A lab's lies. A system that chose conviction over truth. This is Michelle Taylor's story. This podcast is a true crime podcast about arson and criminal fires.

Today's Headlines: Ukrainian President Zelensky has rejected a U.S. proposal to end the war that would require Ukraine to give up Russian-occupied territory and promise never to join NATO. In response, Russia launched its deadliest attack on Kyiv in nearly a year. Meanwhile, the EU fined Apple and Meta a combined €700 million under a law cracking down on tech monopolies. Both companies are appealing, calling the penalties unfair to American firms. Trump also rolled out two executive orders: one targeting the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, and another aiming to roll back equity-focused school discipline policies. But courts blocked three separate Trump initiatives yesterday, including efforts to defund DEI programs in public schools and add proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting. He's also launched a Trumpcoin investor leaderboard, the top 220 investors will be invited to dinner at his Virginia golf club, with a VIP reception for the top 25. And because nothing is ever enough, he's also started selling TRUMP 2028 merch, raising eyebrows about a potential third term. In Florida, a Miami Herald investigation found that $10 million in Medicaid settlement money was funneled to a charity run by Casey DeSantis, then routed to political groups tied to the governor's team. And finally, over 100,000 people are expected to attend Pope Francis's funeral in the Vatican tomorrow, including Trump, Zelensky, Macron, and Prince William.

The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly joins Joe to discuss the Kenneth Grant pick and what he sees the Dolphins doing tonight.

Today on the show we dive right into an exciting first round of the NFL draft. There were many surprises and storylines to come from yesterday and the Dolphins made their pick selecting defensive tackle Kenneth Grant. We also have a big slate of games tomorrow in town and we look back at last night's Panthers win that ended with the Lightning taking a cheap shot at Barkov. Today we were joined by the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly and Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

In hour one we discuss the Panthers win and the incredible return of Matthew Tkachuk and Tyreek Hill finds himself on the front page of the Miami Herald and it isn't for anything good.

Today on the show we get set for tomorrow's draft with which positions are the biggest needs for the Dolphins and who could be some potential selections. Tyreek Hill finds himself on the front page of the Miami Herald and it's not great. The Panthers put on a show in game 1 and the Heat looking to bounce back tonight in game 2. Today we were joined by Locked on Phins Host Kyle Crabbs, NFL Network's Marc Ross, and Marlins Manager Clayton McCullough.

Part 1 - "The Death of a President"In July 2021, the President of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated as he slept at home by a band of mercenaries. His murder sparked a wave of violent protests and a period of unprecedented crisis in the small Caribbean nation that the country has still yet to address nearly four years later.For a long time, violent gangs were used by politicians to win elections, harass political opponents and stamp out opposition. But the political vacuum and ensuing chaos after the death of the President has seen their power grow immensely. They have committed horrendous atrocities against the population that control and each other.Massacres, extortion, mass rape, looting, and blockades have brought about a situation where gangs control an estimated 90% of the capital Port-au-Prince. It has created a humanitarian situation of catastrophic proportions, as over one-million Haitians have been internally displaced as a result of the violence.In Part 1 of Living Together: The Gangs of Haiti, we chart the fallout from the President's murder, the brutal expansion of the gangs power and influence, as well as the relationship between political and economic actors with those same gangs.SpeakersJacqueline Charles, Haiti/Caribbean Correspondent, Miami Herald.

Une dizaine d'établissements universitaires, dont de grandes signatures comme celle de Yale, Brown, Princeton ou Harvard, dénoncent une ingérence sans précédent de l'administration Trump dans les programmes d'enseignement. Au Texas, la peur s'installe dans l'enseignement supérieur. Il y a d'abord, rapporte notre envoyé spécial, Nathanaël Vitrant, les étudiants internationaux, qui craignent, comme c'est déjà arrivé à plusieurs centaines d'entre eux dans cet État, de voir leurs visas révoqués pour des raisons parfois obscures, comme une infraction au code de la route. Ou bien pour avoir exprimé une opinion qui déplaît à l'administration américaine. Sofia, une étudiante pakistanaise, rencontrée lors de manifestations anti-Donald Trump : « Les étudiants impliqués dans les mouvements pro-Palestiniens sont devenus une cible : les services migratoires les enlèvent et les font disparaître. Une de mes amies a vu son visa révoqué et a été condamnée à ce que je qualifierais d'exil politique. »Et comme le confirme Matthew Thompson, un avocat de Houston spécialisé dans le droit à l'immigration, même les enseignants sont pétrifiés : « Le monde académique est en panique. Des profs étrangers qui en théorie n'ont aucune raison d'être inquiets, qui ont le statut de résident permanent, n'osent plus voyager même pour assister à une conférence à l'étranger de peur qu'on ne les laisse pas revenir. »Quant aux citoyens américains dans le monde universitaire, depuis que l'administration Trump a interdit certains mots ou certains sujets, il y règne ce qu'il faut bien qualifier de censure, d'après Sofia Alvarado, une étudiante en journalisme à Austin. « J'écrivais un article sur les feux de forêt au Texas et je suis tombée sur une étude scientifique qui mentionnait le lien entre le réchauffement climatique et les feux de forêt. Mais quand j'ai contacté l'auteure, j'ai eu la surprise de l'entendre me répondre que, dans le contexte politique actuel, elle n'avait pas le droit d'en parler. »Une situation qui inquiète son professeur, John Schwartz : « Des sources qui refusent de parler, ça arrive tout le temps. Mais là ce ne sont pas des gens qui disent « je n'ai pas envie de vous parler », ce sont des gens qui disent « je ne PEUX PAS vous parler. J'ai PEUR de vous parler. George Orwell a écrit 1984 comme un avertissement, mais il y a des gens dans cette administration qui semblent s'en servir comme d'un manuel. Ils n'aiment pas le monde universitaire. Ils rêvent de le transformer en outil de propagande conservateur. On a vu beaucoup de gens et d'institutions mettre le genou à terre, mais heureusement il y a aussi un mouvement de résistance face à cette tentative de changer notre culture. J'espère que d'autres universités suivront l'exemple d'Harvard. » Disparation du pape François, hommage en Haïti et à MiamiL'annonce de la mort du chef de l'Église catholique a suscité de vives réactions sur le sol haïtien, prêtres et leaders religieux n'ont pas caché leur peine et vanté un homme présenté comme très attentif aux souffrances des plus faibles et au sort d'Haïti. Reportage de Peterson Luxama.Hommage aussi du Miami Herald, le grand quotidien pro-démocrate de Floride, dans un articlé signé de son comité éditorial. « Le pape François a touché du doigt deux thèmes majeurs qui résonnent à Miami, souligne le journal, il a d'abord placé le climat sur le devant de la scène catholique en soulignant que la dégradation de la planète touchait en premier lieu les plus pauvres ». Or, dans un endroit tel que la Floride, en première ligne face aux impacts de la crise climatique, aux inondations et aux ouragans, « son appel a pris tout son sens ». Il s'est aussi emparé de la défense des migrants, remarque l'archevêque de Miami Thomas Wenski, « ne s'est jamais lassé de plaider pour les marginaux ou les exclus, et ce message compte ici, dans un État où de très nombreuses familles se sont forgées à travers l'expérience de l'immigration ». François, conclut le Herald, « nous a montré que l'Église ne devait pas être une forteresse où l'on se cache, mais un hôpital de campagne où chacun doit se mettre au service de son prochain ». Les Haïtiens face à la crise alimentaire Avec notre confrère Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, en ligne de Port-au-Prince, retour sur une prédiction alarmante : plus de la moitié de la population, soit près de 6 millions de personnes, devraient se trouver en situation d'insécurité alimentaire aiguë au moins de juin 2025. C'est ce qui ressort du dernier rapport de la Coordination nationale de la sécurité alimentaire (Cnsa). Dans une note publiée le jeudi 17 avril 2025, le Programme alimentaire mondial (Pam) signale de son côté combien la montée des actes de violences a entraîné des déplacements massifs de personnes et une aggravation de la faim. Aux États-Unis, les démocrates mobilisés sur le dossier migratoireQuatre élus démocrates de la Chambre des Représentants sont arrivés au Salvador hier (21 avril 2025), afin de mettre en exergue les failles des mesures d'urgence décrétées par le président américain. C'est toujours le cas d'un seul homme qui mobilise l'attention, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, expulsé le mois dernier malgré une décision de justice en sa faveur. L'opposition veut faire de son histoire un exemple des procédures bâclées par l'administration Trump et demande sa retour immédiat aux États-Unis. Dans le Washington Post, les démocrates parlent d'une « crise constitutionnelle » et d'une « opération de kidnapping financée par le gouvernement, à rebours de l'État de droit, et d'un président qui ignore sciemment l'injonction de la Cour Suprême ». La question-clé du moment : Kilmar Abrego Garcia a t-il été ou est-il encore membre du MS13, un gang ultra-violent actif aux États-Unis et en Amérique centrale ? D'après la Maison Blanche, c'est bien le cas et c'est ce CV criminel qui justifierait son éloignement vers le Salvador. Mais sur quels éléments repose cette affirmation ? À ce jour, aucun élément tangible n'a été rendu public, et le quotidien salvadorien La Prensa Grafica nous apprend qu'à la demande expresse des États-Unis, la procédure va rester confidentielle.Les professionnels du droit au Salvador, eux, veulent profiter de cette affaire pour plaider la cause de tous les prisonniers qui croupissent dans les geôles du pays. L'avocate pénaliste Roxana Cardona rappelle que depuis l'instauration de l'état d'urgence en 2022, plus de 85 000 personnes ont été arrêtées de manière arbitraire et jetées en prison, sans accès à leur dossier, sans conseil juridique et sans contact avec leurs familles, au nom de la lutte contre les groupes criminels décrétée par le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele. Pérou : une loi « anti-ONG » alarme le milieu associatif Le Congrès péruvien vient d'adopter le texte qui vise à « limiter l'influence de l'étranger » au Pérou. Le gouvernement espère restreindre le travail des associations et des ONG internationales, pour éviter d'être poursuivi en justice pour certains de ses manquements au droit. Et cette évolution législative fait craindre une catastrophe dans le milieu associatif. Reportage de notre correspondant à Lima, Martin Chabal.Devant le ministère de la Santé à Lima, l'Asemblea verde, l'Assemblée verte, s'est réunie pour manifester sa colère. Ce collectif de femmes, lutte aujourd'hui pour le droit à l'avortement thérapeutique chez les mineures, car des groupes conservateurs tentent de limiter le recours à l'IVG à la maternité de Lima. Rocio Gutierrez s'inquiète de ces nouvelles mesures.« Nous, ce que nous voulons c'est que nos filles ne soient pas des mères. Au Pérou, chaque année au moins 1 000 enfants accouchent, et elles ont entre 10 et 14 ans. Et le Congrès remet en question le protocole pour ces filles, violées, et enceintes. »Aujourd'hui, à travers son association, Rocio Gutierrez peut se battre juridiquement, pour défendre le droit de ces jeunes filles à un avortement légal. Mais elle craint que ce ne soit bientôt plus possible, depuis que le congrès veut limiter « l'influence de l'étranger ».« L'une des conséquences de cette loi dite anti-ONG, c'est que par exemple, si une enfant se voit retirer le droit à l'accès à un avortement thérapeutique légal, nous en tant qu'organisation nous devons la défendre et dénoncer l'État. Mais ça, on ne pourra plus le faire. »Parce que le Congrès a voté pour la modification de la loi sur l'Agence péruvienne de coopération internationale. Les associations seront maintenant soumises à des amendes si elles poursuivent l'État en ayant reçu des fonds internationaux. Et au Pérou c'est le cas de nombreuses associations, comme celle de Rocio Gutierrez, qui a parfois besoin de l'aide internationale pour faire valoir le droit à l'avortement de ces jeunes filles.Pour les peuples originaires et isolés du Pérou, c'est aussi un coup dur.Antolin Huascar Flores défend les paysans des peuples autochtones à travers la Confédération nationale agraire :« Les communautés autochtones et agricoles du Pérou, on est vulnérables. Je parle des mines dans la partie andine, des entreprises pétrolières en Amazonie qui déforestent. Et quand on veut dénoncer tout cela, une organisation comme la nôtre n'a pas de fonds. On est obligé de recourir à la coopération internationale qui défend nos droits, le droit lié à notre terre, et oblige à l'État de respecter la Constitution. »Aujourd'hui, si ces associations ne se plient pas à la loi et veulent traîner l'État en justice, elles risqueront une amende de près de 700.000 euros. Autant dire que c'est impossible à payer pour ces petites communautés sans risquer la dissolution. Mais cette loi affecte aussi les poids lourds, prévient Marina Navarro, la directrice d'Amnesty International au Pérou, qui travaille notamment sur les victimes de violences policières lors des manifestations contre le pouvoir en 2023, où 49 Péruviens ont été tués.« Cette loi nous affecte beaucoup parce qu'on réalise des rapports sur les violences que l'on fournit à la justice, que l'on met à disposition des enquêteurs, mais avec cette loi ça pourrait être interdit. »Elle compare la situation du Pérou à d'autres pays autoritaires d'Amérique latine. Certains articles auraient été inspirés, voire totalement copiés de ce qui se fait au Nicaragua ou au Venezuela, des pays connus pour leurs atteintes à la démocratie et à l'État de droit. Ces associations protestent contre la manière dont cette loi a été votée, car elles n'ont jamais été consultées pour débattre, et la loi a été votée en une nuit, en une seule lecture, sans débat préalable. L'Agence péruvienne de coopération internationale devient un outil de censure à part entière, le projet d'un gouvernement péruvien de plus en plus autoritaire. L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1ère9,4 pour 100 000 habitants : c'est le taux d'homicides en Guadeloupe, loin devant celui constaté en France métropolitaine.

It's Good Friday, April 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus and Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists sentence Christians for Bible distribution Chinese Communists gave nine Christians prison sentences and large fines for re-selling and distributing Bibles in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia located in North China, reports International Christian Concern. On April 10th, the religious freedom magazine Bitter Winter reported their prison sentences were four years long and their fines ranged from $68 to more than $136,000. The sentences stem from charges and arrests in 2021, where the Christians bought legally published Bibles in Nanjing but ended up re-selling and distributing them at much lower prices as they wanted to share God's Word as a means of evangelism. These Chinese Christians will be inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:16-17. It says, “Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” Salvadoran President: Deported man will not be sent back to US When Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele came to the White House on April 14th, CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked a question about an illegal alien El Salvadoran man from Maryland, named Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been deported back to his country on March 15th. TRUMP: “Let's hear the question from this very low rated anchor.” COLLINS: “Do you plan to return him?” To be clear, Garcia was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland on March 12 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Attorney General Pam Bondi explained that he is a member of MS-13, a gang, which Trump has now designated a terrorist organization. BONDI: “In 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and he was illegally in our country.” In response to Kaitlan Collins' question, Salvadoran President Bukele laughed, reports The Epoch Times. BUKELE: “The question is preposterous. How could I smuggle a terrorist to the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States.” Later, outside the White House, Stephen Miller, Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, schooled reporters who seem to be more concerned with illegal alien MS-13 gang members than they are with the laws of our country. MILLER: “A judge has said he must be deported from the country. He has no right to remain here any longer. He must be removed from the country. So, his only options are to be deported to his home country or another country. That's it. There's no other option. He doesn't get to stay here. He doesn't get to live here. He has no future here. He has no right to be here. He's an illegal alien. “So, when you keep saying ‘return' because you've been spun up by the Open Borders advocates, you all seem to be operating under the illusion that he would be able to come to United States and just continue to live here illegally. That's not an option available to him. His only choices in life are to live in El Salvador or to live in another country. That's it. There's no other option, legally or otherwise, because he came to our country illegally. Do you understand that?” Trump administration examines negative impacts over "transgendering" The Trump administration ordered the National Institutes of Health to study the effects of so-called “gender transitioning.” A leaked memo indicates the agency must investigate the “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults.  In particular, the Trump administration wants to identify negative impacts on physical and mental health caused by such practices. The investigation will also look into “regret and detransition” by people who have pretended to be the opposite sex.  Trump hosted an Easter prayer service On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump hosted an Easter prayer service dinner at the White House, reports The Associated Press. He affirmed the ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Listen. TRUMP: “Nearly 2,000 years ago, during the sacred week, the living Son of God entered Jerusalem in triumph. Soon after, the Savior of mankind, who brought truth and light into the world, was betrayed, arrested and tried, beaten and nailed to a cross and crucified. “For our sake, He gave up His life and, as the very great Reverend Billy Graham once said, ‘God proved His love on the cross. When Christ hung and bled and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.' “The death and resurrection of Jesus are the essence of the Christian faith. Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, or in times of peace or war, Christians everywhere find solace and hope in the knowledge that Christ died for them and that they could be united with Him in Heaven. And that's what we want. That's what we all want.” Luke 24:6 says, “He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee.” 2 killed, 6 wounded at Florida State University shooting On Thursday, two people were killed at Florida State University in Tallahassee and six others were wounded by Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old political science major, as he opened fire from an orange Hummer.  The son of a Leon County Sheriff's deputy, he used his mother's handgun in the campus rampage, reports the Miami Herald. Appearing on Fox News Channel, FSU student Owen Girard described what he witnessed. GIRARD: “Sounded like a jackhammer, of these repetitive beats going on in the distance. Thought it was construction. Next thing you know, you have all of these students running at you, yelling that there's a shooter, so you just drop everything and run. That was our experience. We ran. We hid on the outskirts of campus.” Florida State University President Rick McCullough spoke at the press conference. McCULLOUGH: “This is a tragic day for Florida State University. We are absolutely heartbroken by the violence that occurred on our campus earlier today. Two have died. Five other innocents are being treated for their injuries. We're working to support the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this traumatic event.” Texas school choice passes the state House Texas lawmakers are one step closer to approving a $1 billion private school voucher program hours after passing a bill to allocate $7.7 billion in funding for public schools, reports The Christian Post. The voucher proposal, known as Senate Bill 2, passed the Texas House of Representatives on Thursday by a largely party-line vote of 85-63, in which all Democrats and two Republicans voted against it. Illinois bill hostile to homeschooling dies for now And finally, an Illinois bill, hostile to homeschoolers as well as private schools, missed a procedural deadline in April, reported Capitol News Illinois.  If it became law, homeschoolers could face penalties for not filling out government paperwork. However, the bill's main sponsor, Democratic State Rep. Terra Howard, has requested an extension to keep it on life support.

À Mexico City, dans les quartiers de la Condesa et la Roma, très prisés des touristes et des étrangers, la sauce piquante ne pique plus. Dans les taquerias, ces traditionnels stands de vente de tacos que tous les Mexicains dégustent arrosés de sauce pimentée, le piment a été banni. Cela peut paraître anecdotique, mais veut dire beaucoup sur la gentrification de cette partie de la ville. Reportage de notre correspondante à Mexico City, Marine Lebègue.Dette haïtienne : après les annonces d'Emmanuel Macron, des réactions mitigéesPour l'homme d'affaires et auteur haïtien Jerry Tardieu, joint par RFI, l'annonce d'une commission mixte franco-haïtienne est « une première étape qui doit en appeler d'autres ». L'homme politique insiste, cela ne devra pas être seulement un travail mémoriel aboutissant à des mesures symboliques. « Il faut du concret (…) une forme de compensation (…) Le pays est à l'agonie, il faut que cette commission aboutisse à donner les moyens à Haïti de se battre contre l'insécurité » et de se développer.Dans les rues de Port-au-Prince, notre reporter Peterson Luxama a recueilli la parole d'Haïtiens en demande de réparation et restitution, deux termes éludés par le communiqué de la présidence française publié hier. « Cela doit prendre la forme d'un dédommagement. Cette sois disant dette a plombé notre économie. Je pense que le seul mot qu'on aimerait entendre aujourd'hui, c'est le mot restitution », déclare Roobens Isma, étudiant, à notre journaliste.Haïti : en Artibonite, la vie rendue impossible par les gangsÀ Port-au-Prince, comme dans le département de l'Artibonite, au nord, les habitants sont descendus dans la rue, fin mars, pour réclamer aux autorités des actions concrètes pour lutter contre cette insécurité. Dans la commune de Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, contrôlée par le gang « Gran Grif » (le plus violent de la région), la population exige une réponse musclée de la Police nationale haïtienne. Reportage sur place de notre correspondant Ronel Paul.États-Unis : une photo de l'habitant du Maryland, Salvadorien, expulsé par erreur, à la Une de la presseSur cette photo, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Salvadorien expulsé par erreur des États-Unis, est attablé dans le hall d'un hôtel de San Salvador avec le sénateur démocrate Van Hollen.Le père de famille, résident dans le Maryland est vêtu d'une chemise à carreaux et d'une casquette. « Ces photos renvoient une atmosphère bien différente de celle d'une prison surpeuplée », les deux hommes étant assis dans un hall d'hôtel, « au sol ciré », « avec une végétation luxuriante en arrière-plan », analyse le New York Times.La photo a été repostée aussi par le président salvadorien, autoritaire et fervent supporter de Donald Trump. Nayib Bukele se permet une légende moqueuse, rapportée par Politico : « Kilmar Abrego Garcia miraculeusement ressuscité des camps de la mort et de torture, en train de siroter une margarita ». Mais d'après les informations du New York Times, c'est un assistant de Bukele qui aurait servi les cocktails et tenté de mettre en scène la photo.En Floride, une tuerie fait au moins 2 morts et 6 blessésLe suspect de 20 ans, abattu sur place par la police, a agi avec l'arme de service de sa mère, adjointe du shérif du comté de Leon. Le Miami Herald raconte la panique sur place, « les ordinateurs et sacs encore éparpillés dans l'herbe du campus ». « Tout le monde est en colère, je ne comprends juste pas comment cela peut arriver », déclare un étudiant. La tuerie ravive aussi de douloureux souvenirs en Floride. Certains parents des victimes de la tuerie de Parkland, en 2018, ont désormais des enfants étudiants dans l'université de Tallahassee. « Mon cœur a lâché », décrit une mère de famille au Miami Herald, « c'était un effrayant 'déjà vu' ». Elle ajoute : « Arrêtez la politique et protégez nos enfants. On ne peut pas devenir insensible à ces tueries. On doit bien mieux à nos enfants ». À la Une du journal des Outre-mers, de notre partenaire La 1eLa Martinique commémore les 17 ans de la mort du penseur et écrivain Aimé Césaire.

Lionel Messi's decision to join Inter Miami of Major League Soccer had historical precedent on many levels. Despite it's failure, the first MLS team in Miami -- the Fusion -- attempted to harness the unique location and demographic makeup of the south Florida to the benefit of soccer in America. With a strong connection to Latin America, stars like Carlos Valderrama wore Fusion colors in an attempt to create fan interest and help grow the game in the United States. While those elements felt familiar, luring the best players in the world and greatest player of all time to Miami to play for the second iteration of an MLS team in the city seemed unlikely. And, yet, Messi arrived in 2023 and changed the landscape of sports in the city and soccer in America. Michelle Kaufman is a long-tenured sports writer for the Miami Herald, with a deep focus on international sports. She was working for the paper when the Fusion played and then saw the establishment of Inter Miami. Kaufman covered Beckham putting roots in the city, working with the Mas brothers to buy the club and ultimately bringing Messi to the team. She joined Founding Futbol to share her recollections and insights about the evolution of soccer in Miami and America. She also talks about the significance of Messi's decision and shares how she's seen it impact the city. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.Visit our website for more information: ⁠FoundingFutbol.com.

In 1989, on a quiet night in Beverly Hills California, Jose and Kitty Menendez were gunned down in their living room.At first, police thought Jose – a hotshot entertainment executive – had been involved in some shady business dealings. But it wasn't long before we learned what really happened: Jose and Kitty had been murdered by their own sons. The trials of Lyle and Erik Menendez captivated the world, and ultimately ended with both brothers being sentenced to life without parole.Today, more than 35 years after the killings, the Menendez brothers have come back into the public consciousness, in part because new evidence has emerged that could lead to the brothers walking free. Before all this though – before the brothers were even considered suspects – a Miami Herald reporter named Robert Rand flew to Beverly Hills to write a profile on the late Jose Menendez. That fateful trip resulted in Rand being swept up in one of the most shocking murder trials of the 20th century. Feedback for us?

Brown, the reporter whose groundbreaking work exposed the horrific crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.
