True Crime Reality

A judge denied the release of 40-year-old mom of four, Corie Walsh during her first court appearance after strangling her 2-year-old son Barrett last week, saying she remains a risk to her other children and husband. Walsh’s attorneys wanted their client sent to a mental health facility, claiming Walsh had a fascination with the Lindsay Clancy trial while suffering a psychotic event at the time of the murder. Some new and chilling details came out of today’s hearing: police described Walsh as “incoherent” and claimed she believed she had killed her other children while planning to poison her husband with a drink when he came home. Walsh is charged with first degree murder after her two older children found their 2 year old brother hanging from the rafters of their basement.

On its face, it sounds horrific: a mom allows her five-year-old son to walk alone to a neighborhood pond, a half mile away. That mom is Karyann Parkinson and she’s speaking out after being convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Parkinson is also now on a state abuse registry for the next seven years. The mom of five says she had just walked to the pond six times with her son that day, in their gated community, complete with security guards. It was one of those guards who escorted the boy home, and ultimately called police. Debate is now raging online among parents, how young is too young to walk alone, and what is the role of the state when it comes to making parenting decisions?

On what would’ve been Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s 16th birthday, her family released a new photo of her and a statement saying the death penalty “would be perfect” for singer D4vd, who’s been charged with the killing and dismembering the young teen. Today is the one year anniversary of the discovery of Hernandez’s remains in the front trunk of D4vd’s Tesla. Even though the last execution in California happened two decades ago, the DA has not yet taken the death penalty off the table. Hernandez’s family also called into question D4vd’s legal representation, saying he is not indigent and should not qualify for public defenders after after his private attorneys withdrew from his case last week.
