True Crime Reality

Orlando police have arrested and charged 55-year-old Dale Smith Jr with second degree murder, 15 years after his ex-fiancé Michelle Parker disappeared. Parker was last seen on November 17th, 2011, the very day the couple was featured on ‘The People’s Court,' arguing over a $5,000 engagement ring. Parker dropped off their then three-year-old twins at Smith’s home, and has never been seen again; her body has never been found. While Smith maintains his innocence, police say advances in digital forensics led to additional evidence, paving the way for the arrest they’ve wanted to make for more than a decade.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia took the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine Law School, but did not pass. This, after the New York Times was able to briefly talk to Zacharia on the phone where she claimed she couldn’t hear when a reporter asked her in what state she passed the bar. Instead, she said she assumed she was asked where she went after graduating law school…. And that’s why she replied “When I was in China?” Zacharia also went on to say the president of her law school told her she could call herself a “lawyer” but she could not refer to herself as an “attorney.”

A left leaning non-profit, The Campaign for Accountability, has officially filed a complaint with the California State Bar Association, asking for an investigation into White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia’s claims that she is a lawyer. To date, there is no evidence that Zacharia is licensed to practice law in any state, yet Zacharia has repeatedly stated in more than a dozen TV appearances that she is a lawyer. The watchdog group is asking the state bar association to refer Zacharia to state prosecutors, where she could be face a misdemeanor, “punishable by up to one year in a county jail or by a fine of up to $1,000” or both.

The Brooklyn store targeted by Kelly Clarkson’s social media posts - describing a rude and offensive employee who refused to sell her an automaton bird - says the backlash is getting scary. Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin says they are receiving threatening phone calls amid an onslaught of negative reviews, saying “we are afraid for the safety of our shopkeepers.” Rubin described Clarkson’s post as “social warfare," as the surveillance footage of the interaction between Clarkson and the employee was released.
