Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

Today on Crime Talk, Scott breaks down another wild day in true crime — and as he put it: "Be safe out there… it's freaking dangerous!"
We cover the disturbing case of Metallica Rose Harrison, the Pennsylvania mother accused of murdering her husband and 3-year-old son during a family stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We also examine the latest fallout from the failed execution of Christa Pike, including newly released records detailing delays and confusion in getting emergency medical help after the execution attempt failed.
Then we turn to Bryan Kohberger, where multiple upcoming hearings tied to his post-conviction challenge have been vacated. We also look at a new report surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs and the prison head injury that may have resulted from a fight with another inmate.
Plus: newly revealed text messages in the Cornell 7 case, the Florida case involving an Uber Eats driver who was allegedly shot after returning to get a woman's phone number, Legal History, Legal Quote, and today's Dumb Criminal.

Execute or not? Two very different death penalty cases are raising major questions about capital punishment in America.
Christa Pike is back in prison after surviving Tennessee's failed lethal injection attempt. With execution drugs actually administered and Pike still alive, her case now raises an extraordinary legal question: could Tennessee constitutionally attempt to execute her again?
Meanwhile, former Army Major Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, is scheduled to face a firing squad. But another controversy is developing around plans to potentially livestream the military execution, with growing political, legal and international opposition.
Also on today's Crime Talk: the Cornell 7 investigation faces a new legal fight involving New York Attorney General Letitia James; new information emerges involving Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker; and actress Selma Blair is arrested following an alleged incident aboard a Delta flight.
