Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Selma Blair, 54, arrested after an alleged altercation aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City. She is facing two felony second‑degree assault charges.
Blair reportedly punched one flight attendant and bit another, causing injuries including a bloody nose and bite marks. One attendant was taken to the hospital. Blair is also accused of kicking a Port Authority officer repeatedly in the face, neck, and chest while being restrained on a stretcher, and kicking a nurse at the hospital.
Blair pleaded not guilty and was granted bail. According to her attorney, said the incident was the result of a medical emergency, saying Blair had missed doses of Nuedexta, a medication for her multiple sclerosis.

Christa Pike has returned to prison after her discharged from the hospital. She survived a botched lethal injection attempt of two doses of pentobarbital during her scheduled execution at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. According to reports, the drug likely spread under her skin due to a faulty IV line rather than entering her bloodstream. After spending days unconscious and on a ventilator, Pike woke up, regained speech, and began walking with assistance
Dispatchers initially delayed sending an ambulance for roughly 30 minutes because they suspected the emergency call from the maximum-security prison was a "prank call". Audio logs detailed emergency responders waiting outside the prison gates while officials scrambled to verify if the request for medical help was legitimate. Pike's next court hearing is scheduled for October 23.

Sean Combs rushed by ambulance from New Jersey's FCI Fort Dix to a local hospital over the weekend after suffering a non-life-threatening head injury. Diddy left the prison for about 6 hours. He was conscious and speaking during and after the hospital visit. The exact cause of the head injury remains unclear.
The medical emergency follows a turbulent period behind bars, which included being placed in solitary confinement and losing 41 days of good conduct time after an investigation into contraband (cell phones and alcohol). His projected release date was pushed back to March 2028
