A Texas Court Scheduled Texas Tech Quarterback Brendan Sorsby's Trial Against the NCAA for 2 Weeks after CFB SeasonAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Just last week, it was announced that the USC Trojans had had discussions with Texas Tech about a potential home-and-home series in 2027 and 2028. It felt likely that a deal could get done. After Brendan Sorsby was deemed eligible by a Texas Court, the Big Ten could keep its members from scheduling Texas Tech in the future, which would obviously nix the potential of a USC-Tech matchup.

This episode contains discussions of murder, arsenic poisoning, the deaths of children, and historical criminal trials. Ifyou need to skip any portion, advance past that segment using your chapter markers. This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary by examining two cases that expose how the justice system treated killers differently based on wealth, gender, and class. This week: a double feature — one case from Texas, one from Pennsylvania, eleven years apart, and both asking the same question. Was justice served?In January 1877, a woman known as Diamond Bessie crossed a footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou in Jefferson, Texas. She never came back. Her companion — the wealthy son of a Cincinnati jeweler — walked away with her rings on his fingers and her luggage on his arm. What followed was one of the most contested murder trials in Texas history, in a town that was already losing everything. This is true crime at its most infuriating: a woman's life weighed against a powerful family's money.Then we cross to Philadelphia, 1888. Sarah Jane Whiteling, a forty-year-old factory worker's wife in a rear apartment on Cadwallader Street, lost her husband, her daughter, and her son inside sixty-seven days. The insurance companies paid out $399 total — $47 for her two-year-old boy. Arsenic trioxide was in every body. The prosecution called it wholesale murder. The defense called it insanity. The jury took two hours. This is historical true crime that doesn't let you look away.The VictimsDiamond Bessie — real name believed to be Annie Stone, born around 1854 in upstate New York — had built a life on her own terms in an era that gave women almost none. She worked in upscale establishments in Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Hot Springs, accepting fine jewelry as payment, which earned her the name everyone knew her by. Dark- haired, pale-skinned, with grey or steel-blue eyes that period newspapers described as striking, she was intelligent and charming by every account. She married Abraham Rothschild in Danville, Illinois on January 11, 1877. Ten days later, a Black woman named Sarah King found her body propped against a twisted oak in the bayou woods — fully clothed, stripped of every piece of jewelry, a single gunshot wound to her temple.The Whiteling victims were a family. John Whiteling, thirty-eight, worked as a streetcar conductor and factory worker. Bertha was nine years old. Willie was two. John died on or around March 20, 1888. Bertha died April 25. Willie died May 26. Sixty-seven days, start to finish. Each death had a doctor's signature and a natural cause on the certificate. None of those causes were arsenic. The bodies at Mechanics' Cemetery held the truth that the living room had hidden.The CrimesAbraham Rothschild — son of Meyer Rothschild, a prosperous Cincinnati jeweler — had been traveling with Bessie since meeting her in Hot Springs around 1875. On January 21, 1877, he bought two picnic lunches from Henrique's Restaurant in Jefferson, crossed the footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou with Bessie, and came back alone. He told the hotel staff she was visiting friends. The next morning he wore two of her large diamond rings to breakfast. Two days later he boarded the eastbound train with both sets of luggage. He was traced to the Capitol Hotel in Marshall, then arrested after shooting himself outside a saloon — blinded in his right eye — in Cincinnati. His family spent what contemporary sources called "no fewer than ten high-priced attorneys" on his defense, led by U.S. Congressman David B. Culberson. The first trial ended in a conviction and a death sentence. The Texas Court of Appeals threw it out on a procedural technicality. The second trial ended in an acquittal. The jury deliberated four hours.Sarah Jane Whiteling purchased Rough on Rats — an arsenic trioxide compound manufactured by Ephraim S. Wells of New Jersey — and administered it to three members of her household between March and May of 1888. Coroner Samuel H. Ashbridge ordered the bodies exhumed. Professor Henry Leffmann, a chemist, and Dr. Henry F. Formad, a pathologist, found arsenic in every body. A drugstore clerk confirmed the purchase. Sarah confessed. Her defense centered on Dr. Alice Bennett — the first female physician to lead a department at an American asylum, Norristown State Hospital — who testified that Whiteling suffered from "physiological insanity" linked to reproductive dysfunction. The prosecution answered with their own experts: Drs. Charles Mills and John Chapin, who acknowledged she was of weak mind but said she was not legally insane. The jury deliberated approximately two hours. Guilty. First-degree murder. Death.On June 25, 1889, at 10:07 in the morning, Sarah Jane Whiteling was executed at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia. She was the first woman executed in Philadelphia since colonial times. She reportedly appeared calm and believed she would be reunited with her children in heaven.Historical ContextBoth cases unfold during America's Gilded Age — that era of violent contradiction between spectacular wealth and grinding poverty. Jefferson, Texas had been the biggest riverport in the state until the Army Corps of Engineers removed the natural logjam on the Red River in 1873, and the railroad bypassed the city for Marshall. What had once shipped more than 75,000 bales of cotton annually was already hollowing out when Bessie's body was found. Reconstruction was collapsing across the South. Democrats had retaken the Texas state government three years earlier. In this context, the Rothschild family's ability to hire an army of lawyers — including a sitting U.S. Congressman — and purchase an acquittal reads as something beyond a legal outcome. It reads as a statement about whose life counted.In Philadelphia, 1888, a factory worker's full-year wages ran between $300 and $500. Sarah Whiteling collected $399 from three life insurance policies — nearly a year's salary — for the deaths of her husband and two children. The arithmetic is not subtle. Dr. Alice Bennett's insanity defense was, by the standards of 1888 forensic psychiatry, genuinely innovative — her theory of "physiological insanity" in women with reproductive dysfunction would later be examined in the *Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law* (Vol. 48, No. 3, 2020). But the jury didn't buy it, and Sarah Whiteling hanged.Together these cases are a portrait of American justice in 1877 and 1888: brilliant, broken, and priced according to what you could afford.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Michael Severance was a decorated Air Force staff sergeant from Lee, Maine — a young man known for his integrity, his loyalty, and his love of dancing the Texas two-step. In January 2005, just months into a troubled marriage to a West Texas veterinarian named Wendi Davidson, Mike vanished without a trace. His truck, his wallet, and his cell phone were all left behind. For weeks, investigators chased dead ends while Mike's family in Maine waited desperately for answers.What they eventually found would shock everyone who had known him. What followed was a complex investigation, a bitter custody battle over Mike's infant son, and a legal case full of twists that left his family feeling that true justice was never fully served.Mike survived five combat deployments to some of the most dangerous places on earth. Evil found him in his own home.Today's snack: Queso dip from The Big Texas Cookbook (thanks Carla!)Listen to part 2 today: https://patreon.com/lovemarrykillSources:Fanning, Diane.

It's Thursday, April 9th, A.D. 2026. 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 Nicaragua officials violated religious freedom 309 times in 2025 Last year, the government of Nicaragua imposed increasing restrictions on religious leaders. This is according to a new report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide.  The report documented 309 violations of freedom of religion or belief in 2025. That's up from 222 cases in 2024. Over 100 of the cases last year involved Protestant Christians.  Anna Lee Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “While in some ways the regime has changed its strategies – releasing political prisoners into house arrest as opposed to forcing them into exile, for example – its primary goal remains the same: to control, co-opt or eliminate anyone it deems a threat to its authority and survival.” But, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Cuba pardoned 2,000 prisoners before Easter The government of Cuba announced pardons for over 2,000 prisoners last week ahead of Resurrection Sunday.  Those released included young people, women, and people over the age of 60. The pardons follow significant pressure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This marks the fifth prisoner release by Cuba's communist regime since 2011. The pardons have benefited over 10,000 people, including political prisoners and pastors.  Mexico's “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy” The Mexican state of Aguascalientes  designated March 25 as the “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy.” The central state is the first state in the country to establish such a day for promoting pro-family policies.  At the federal level, Mexico has decriminalized the killing of unborn babies.  Some states have moved to protect babies while others support abortion.  Texas court greenlights Christian evangelism near mosque In the United States, a Texas court recently allowed Christians to continue evangelizing near a mosque. The East Plano Islamic Center filed a lawsuit last October to silence Christians who were sharing their faith on public property nearby. However, the state court dismissed the lawsuit last month. The law firm representing the Christians stated, “This lawsuit was an extraordinary demand … to ban missionaries from peacefully … preaching the Gospel. We are grateful that the Court recognized that such demands are a serious challenge to our country's core values of free speech and freedom of religion.” Regular church attenders most likely to be generous Charitable giving among evangelical Protestants is stabilizing according to a new report from Infinity Concepts. The report found 62 percent of Evangelicals gave to church last year. That's down from 74 percent in 2020 but slightly up from 61 percent in 2024. In terms of church attendance, those who attend weekly were the most likely to give to church. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Stock market up and oil prices down The U.S. stock market surged and oil prices fell yesterday. This came after President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday.  The S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock market indexes were up by over two percent. And the price of U.S. crude oil dropped by over 15% to about $95 per barrel. That's down from $117 on Tuesday. Still, oil prices are up 65 percent compared to the start of the year.  “A Great Awakening” Christian film in theaters thru April 16 And finally, the movie “A Great Awakening” opened in theaters on Good Friday. The historical Christian film hit number six at the box office. Sight & Sound Films released the movie in honor of America's 250th anniversary. The movie is based on the true story of the unlikely friendship between Reverend George Whitefield and founding father Benjamin Franklin. Whitefield's voice was so clear and robust that he was able to speak to thousands without amplification.  Franklin was a doubter. FRANKLIN: “I am doubting Whitefield's claim that he can be heard and understood by so many. Without evidence, I won't believe it.” WHITEFIELD: “Let us proclaim freedom to the captives. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” WITNESS 1: “Have you ever heard a voice like that?” WITNESS 2:  “A blast from Heaven.” WHITEFIELD: “Benjamin Franklin.” FRANKLIN:  “Reverend Whitefield. Partnering with me would guarantee the maximum benefit to your cause.” WHITEFIELD: “A match made in Heaven.” FRANKLIN: “Or just a deal made in a print shop.” WHITEFIELD:  “You have promoted the greatest awakening these colonies have ever seen.” Joshua Enck with Sight & Sound Ministries said, “As we approach America's 250th anniversary, we're honored to share this inspiring story of friendship, faith, and courage. It's a timely reminder that the soul of a nation is shaped not just by laws, but by the convictions of its people.” Watch the trailer at the website www.AGreatAwakening.com. Since it's only in the theaters for another 8 days, purchase your tickets today through a special link in our transcript at www.TheWorldview.com.  Invite your friends and extended family to join you.  The last day on the silver screen will be Thursday, April 16th. www.AGreatAwakening.com Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026. 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.

Texas throws out a Biden-era fiduciary rule giving insurance companies more license to sell bad products to people who don't fully understand them. Today, Paul and Jim talk about how the industry uses the term “fiduciary” to build trust, but can just as easily push you toward products that are in the agent's best interest as well. Listen along to hear why fiduciary rules don't fix the industry, but why removing them gives big insurance companies a lot of confidence to be misleading.   Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez took a significant legal turn this week when a Texas appeals court denied habeas corpus petitions filed by D4VD's parents and brother, ordering them to comply with California grand jury subpoenas. Dawud, Colleen, and Caleb Burke had argued that redacted affidavits prevented them from understanding why they were deemed material witnesses. The court disagreed, though a February 24 rehearing keeps the door open.The Burke family ruling is the latest escalation in what has become a defining feature of this case: widespread noncooperation from D4VD's inner circle. Neo Langston, a close friend and streamer, was arrested in Montana after failing to appear and testified for roughly 40 minutes — a duration retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer believes signals repeated Fifth Amendment invocations. An unidentified female witness failed to appear, prompting prosecutors to seek a body attachment. Manager Robert Morgenroth testified for three days but was reportedly overheard discussing prosecutorial pressure over his failure to contact police.A footnote in the Texas ruling references "The People of the State of California v. David Burke," which analysts say strongly suggests sealed criminal proceedings are already underway. D4VD has not been charged. Sources say he is no longer cooperating with investigators.This episode covers the Texas ruling, the full pattern of witness resistance, and what February 24 could mean for the trajectory of this case.

Texas is unique in that it is one of only two states in the U.S. (the other is Oklahoma) that operates a bifurcated high court system - instead of having one single state supreme court that handles everything, Texas splits its highest judicial authority between two specialized courts: the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. All of the seats on these courts are elected statewide, and just like every other statewide post, they've all been held by Republicans since the late 1990's (if you don't count Larry Meyers). Our guests today are looking to change that: Justices Chari Kelly, Cory Carlyle and Maggie Ellis are all running for seats on the Texas Supreme Court, Judge Christine Weems ran for that court in 2024, is running for reelection in Houston, and is present today for moral support, and our friend Holly Taylor is running for a seat on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.Learn more about Holly Taylor at https://www.hollytforjudge.com/.Learn more about Cory Carlyle at https://carlyle4justice.com/.Learn more about Maggie Ellis at https://www.maggieforjustice.com/.Learn more about Chari Kelly at https://charikelly.com/.Learn more about Christine Weems at https://www.weemsforjudge.com/.Thanks for listening!

Long established legal norms continue to be challenged by Trump's Justice Department, leading Andrew and Mary to emphasize how the courts have grown increasingly frustrated with the administration's tactics. They begin with last Thursday's ruling from Judge Rodriguez in Texas, that Trump was unjustified in using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. After a review of what that means for his ‘extraction' efforts, Andrew and Mary go deep on an assessment made public from the National Intelligence Council, that indicates despite Trump's presidential proclamation evoking the Alien Enemies Act, intelligence officials do not see a strong link between the Venezuelan government and Tren de Aragua. And lastly this week, they look at the latest judicial pushback on Trump's attempts to threaten law firms, after Judge Beryl Howell ruled against his targeting of Perkins Coie by executive order.Further reading: Here is the assessment from the National Intelligence Council on the relationship between the Maduro government and Tren de Aragua, courtesy of the New York Times.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Andrew and Mary begin this week by acknowledging that, as the Trump administration approaches its 100th day mark, some themes have materialized. One is intimidation, exemplified most recently with the arrest of Wisconsin state court judge Hannah Dugan last Friday, while Trump continues to clash with local authorities over his deportation efforts. Another theme is due process, or the lack of it. Our Main Justice hosts point to a litany of immigration issues front and center this week, including the wrongful deportation of US citizen children, Attorney General Pam Bondi's March memo to law enforcement laying out how to implement the Alien Enemies Act, and what happened when the government was compelled to have a hearing in a Texas case: they fell flat on the merits. And before wrapping up, Andrew and Mary explain why Trump's media policy change, tossing out Biden era protections for journalists, is problematic for a free press.Further reading: Mary's recent Op-ed in the Washington Post: What Alito got right in his El Salvador case dissent.Pam Bondi's March 14th memo issuing guidance for implementing the Alien Enemies Act.Pam Bondi's April 25th memo updating the policy regarding obtaining information from, or records of, members of the news media.A note to listeners: In the Abrego Garcia case, despite the earlier admission in court that his removal was a mistake, the government's current position is that he a member of MS 13, which his lawyers deny.Want to listen to this show without ads?

With his execution halted, will Robert Roberson finally have a chance at justice as new evidence, legislative allies, and a growing public outcry push for a retrial? Robert Roberson, who was set to be executed on October 17, 2024, for the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter Nikki, was granted a last-minute stay by the Texas Supreme Court. This unexpected reprieve followed a subpoena from Texas lawmakers requesting Roberson's testimony before the House Criminal Justice Committee. Roberson's conviction heavily relied on the now-disputed "shaken baby syndrome" diagnosis, but new evidence suggests Nikki's death may have resulted from natural causes, like pneumonia. Both the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals previously declined to intervene, and the Supreme Court's decision has sparked debate over the balance of power between Texas's legislative and judicial branches.  The case has drawn national attention, bolstered by support from Dr. Phil, who testified before the Texas Legislature on Roberson's behalf. The debate has also reignited scrutiny of forensic evidence standards and Texas's 2013 "junk science" law as lawmakers and courts reconsider Roberson's fate.  Dr. Phil speaks with Terre, a 2003 juror from Roberson's trial who now believes in his innocence, stating she wasn't presented with all the evidence. Roberson's attorney, Gretchen Sween, insists that, despite opposition from the Attorney General's office, he deserves a new trial. In support, Representatives Joe Moody (D), Lacey Hull (R), and Brian Harrison (R) have joined forces in a bipartisan coalition advocating for clemency and a retrial. Former Los Angeles prosecutor and news anchor Loni Coombs argues that if the Attorney General is confident in Roberson's guilt, they should welcome a retrial to resolve lingering doubts once and for all.
