True Crime Reality

Why is our president so obsessed with changing names? His latest target is the state of New Mexico: Trump writing on his social media that a name change would increase home values and incomes, but made sure to insult the state by saying it’s known for its “crooked elections.” Of note, Trump lost New Mexico in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. There has been strong reaction from New Mexico officials, but not a lot of fear about what may happen next. While the president can change bodies of water and other geographic features, he cannot technically rename a state.

77-year-old William Reaves will die by lethal injection tonight after being convicted of first-degree murder for the 1986 shooting of Deputy Richard Raczkowski. He will become Florida’s eighth prisoner over the age of 70 to be executed this year, but more than 100 military veterans sent a moving letter to Governor DeSantis on Monday, urging him to commute Reaves’ sentence to life given his PTSD from the battlefield. Meantime, Officer Raczkowski’s family and former coworkers say they’ve waited long enough for justice and plan to be at tonight’s execution. One deputy saying he wants the last thing Reaves to see is an Indian River County sheriff's uniform.

After a four month investigation, Mississippi’s Attorney General announced that a white officer was justified when he shot at a moving vehicle, killing a 1-year-old black boy and critically injuring the driver. Little Kohen Wiley’s mom and her friend were accused of shoplifting a box of diapers from Walmart, when 5 officers surrounded their vehicle as they were leaving the parking lot. Both women deny stealing anything and have never been charged. The officer who fired the shots, 33-year-old Hunter Foster, has had two accusations of using racial expletives towards his black co-workers and the police chief who chose not to discipline him, was just fired last month for using racial expletives in texts with colleagues.
