True Crime Reality

Several jurors have made the rounds, continuing to point the finger at the holdout juror that ultimately resulted in a mistrial for the Lindsay Clancy triple murder case. In an unscripted moment, CBS host Gayle King was shocked when she realized, and the juror she was interviewing confirmed, that the hold out juror was a black man. We go over why this was such a shocking revelation to King and why it’s now created an unusual political divide: An unlikely Republican leader coming to the defense of the black juror, while several national medial outlets dig up dirt on the juror’s background.

TMZ is citing multiple law enforcement sources with “direct knowledge” that Hayden Panettiere may have taken a blackmarket Oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl the morning of her death. Those same sources say police are looking into her long time drug dealer in Los Angeles and are trying to trace the pill back to him. Meantime, Panettiere’s on-again, off-again abusive boyfriend made headlines of his own over the weekend. Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were reportedly highly intoxicated when Zach was ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct, as Brian shouted at police that they “leaked it when my girlfriend died.”

Most of us spend more than half of our lives trying to accumulate wealth, and then the last half we try to save what we have either to ensure we won’t run out or to leave all that earned income to our children. And while it still remains controversial, the push to “die with zero” money in your account is gaining steam, but experts say it’s harder than you may think. The concept is ideal: after working hard your entire life, you retire, and then you spend and enjoy that money until you last check bounces on the day you die. The problem, most people are too afraid of running out of money, they keep hoarding it and deny themselves the upgrades, travel experiences and ultimately, “under-living” their golden years.

The chatroom used by fired ‘Wheel of Fortune’ announcer Jim Thornton has put out a statement defending its purpose. The chatroom says it operates under strict rules against any type of illicit behavior, but says it exists because there is no safe way for “minor-attracted people” to access support for fear of stigmatization. The site goes on to say that most people attracted to minors behave responsibly and giving them a place to talk leads to more positive outcomes. They point out that Thornton’s firing - which they call a metaphorical lynching - illustrates the need for change in how we view people who have this attraction. As you might imagine, reaction to their statement has been met with outrage, especially among parents, who say this is dangerous, normalizing and even encouraging pedophilia.
