Indiana is set to execute its first inmate of the year “before sunrise” on November 5th, and if this is anything like the last three, Jeffrey Weisheit will likely be dead by 1 am. Weisheit was sentenced to death for burning his girlfriend’s children to death nearly 13 years ago: 8-year-old Alyssa and 5-year-old Caleb Lynch. Weisheit has exhausted all of his legal appeals, and despite a written plea by the children’s father to spare his life, he will be the first of three scheduled executions across the country on Thursday; both Florida and Alabama each plan to execute an inmate at 6 pm local time.

14-year-old Samantha Humphrey was missing for more than three months before her strangled body turned up in upstate New York’s icy Mohawk River in February of 2022. Her then 14-year-old boyfriend was ultimately charged with her murder, and this week, a jury found now 18-year-old Raymond Wright Jr. guilty of second degree murder. Wright testified in his own defense at trial, admitting to pushing Humphrey in the river, but stopping short of admitting to her murder. Wright will be sentenced in January, but because he was convicted as a juvenile, his minimum sentence could be as little as 7 1/2 years, something that is not sitting well with Humphrey’s father.

Americans are waking up to what’s being described as a “blue tsunami’ after last night’s election results. Democrats handily won control of both the House and Senate, in a sweeping takeover of Congress. There were multiple “firsts” throughout the nation: several first black governors, the first black female governor, first muslim elected to the Senate, first Latino governors, and the margins weren’t even close in most races. President Trump took to truth social as the results continued to pour in last night, blaming an unlikely source for the sweep: Fox News.
