Caleb Flynn, 40, the former music pastor and American Idol contestant on trial in Miami County, Ohio, for the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, heard her family testify against him this week. Ashley's sister, Kayla Keyt, and her father, Todd Smith, described the family business Ashley was set to inherit and the break-in story they never believed — Smith told jurors the family's dogs would have barked. On cross-examination, a Tipp City police captain testified that the woman ...

Richard Allen, convicted in 2024 of murdering Abigail "Abby" Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana, asked the Indiana Court of Appeals for a new trial on Monday. His lawyers argue that the more than 60 incriminating statements prosecutors say he made were produced by psychosis during months of pretrial solitary confinement at Westville Correctional Facility. The state says his key confessions came while he was lucid. One judge on the panel re...

Matthew Exton, 43, a former attorney convicted of attempting to shoot his ex-wife at the opening night of Sabira restaurant in Toledo, was sentenced Monday by Lucas County Judge Gary Cook. Exton tried to fire his attorney the morning of the hearing, then told the court that pointing a loaded gun at his ex-wife was not harm because it did not fire. Cook played the surveillance video, saying it showed Exton trying to disengage the safety after the gun failed — the moment that "cements the intent."...

The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial has been publicly identified, had his address and phone number posted online, received death threats, and is now in an undisclosed location in rural northern New England with counsel. In a statement to NewsNation, Michael P. Desronvil disputed his fellow jurors' accounts: "I didn't have any doubts," and said he believed from the evidence that Clancy "knew exactly what she was doing and planned" it — a direct contradiction of foreperson Roni Carl...

A secret documentary about Elizabeth Holmes premiered at Telluride on September 6. "You Can See Everything", directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, distributed by A24, filmed over three years beginning 34 days before she reported to federal prison. It screens at the New York Film Festival on September 30 and opens theatrically in October. Meanwhile, Holmes's X account, revived in August 2025 after a decade of silence and reportedly run by her partner Billy Evans, has been posting freque...

Former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor invoked his Fifth Amendment right rather than answer questions at a hearing in a Milton murder case he led — the 2021 killing of 25-year-old Marquis Simmons. Judge Peter Krupp allowed it after a sidebar his defense counsel was barred from joining. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio, who is seeking dismissal of charges against Myles Omari King, 26, said Proctor's lawyer had twice indicated he would testify. Proctor was dishonorably disch...

Tomasz Kosowski, representing himself in a capital murder trial in Pinellas County, Florida, gave no opening statement and cross-examined none of the state's witnesses on the first day. Assistant State Attorney Alexandra Spadaro told Judge Joseph Bulone that attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, was killed in his firm's bathroom and moved out by wagon — that "his coffin was a dumpster" and his remains lie in the Collier County landfill, where a three-day search found nothing. Kosowski has pleaded not guilt...

Judge London Kite has refused to step aside from Shanna Gardner's murder case after both prosecutors and Kirsten Bridegan — the widow of victim Jared Bridegan — filed motions asking her to disqualify herself. Kite ruled both legally insufficient without addressing the factual allegations. The dispute began when Gardner's defense sought Kirsten Bridegan's cellphone; Kite initially denied the request, then ordered her to surrender it after an ex parte meeting with Gardner's attorneys that neither ...

Tomasz Kosowski, 47, goes on trial Monday in Pinellas County, Florida, for the first-degree murder of attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, who vanished from his Largo office bathroom in March 2023 and has never been found. Kosowski has dismissed multiple defense teams, is representing himself, withdrew his prior counsel's motions to suppress evidence and their challenges to the death penalty, and waived a jury for both the guilt and penalty phases — a dual waiver attorneys describe as exceptionally rare. ...

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, no one has been tried for them. A military judge set a June 2028 trial date last month for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-defendants at Guantanamo Bay — twenty years after they were first charged — following two decades of litigation driven largely by the CIA's treatment of the defendants in secret custody, which the government has acknowledged and which rendered one co-defendant unfit to stand trial. Plea agreements signed in 2024 were withdr...

Four jurors from Lindsay Clancy's murder trial have now spoken publicly, and their accounts conflict. Foreperson Roni Carlson, a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher, told NBC10 Boston the holdout juror "admitted he had reasonable doubt" — that she began signing the verdict forms before he said, "But I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity." Jurors Kellie Farina and Paula Devlin described him as closed off and unwilling to engage. A fourth juror, speaking anon...

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked President Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy during a Good Morning America interview Tuesday, days after her murder trial ended in a mistrial — a request the president has no authority to grant, since the pardon power under Article II reaches only federal offenses and Clancy is charged under Massachusetts law. Reddington also said he hopes to reach an agreement with Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz, softened his earlier remarks about the prosecut...

A Lucas County jury convicted attorney Matthew Exton, 43, of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and multiple firearm specifications Friday, in the April 2025 armed confrontation at the opening night of Sabira restaurant in Toledo. He was acquitted on a third assault count. Prosecutor Julia Bates said Exton "came with anger in him and with the intention to commit a public execution of his ex-wife," and credited restaurant employees and patrons — including a waiter who tackled him —...

A mistrial was declared Friday in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial after the jury deadlocked over seven days and roughly 38 hours. With courts closed for the holiday, a full retrospective: the night of January 24, 2023; the four months of psychiatric treatment that preceded it, including a five-day voluntary hospital admission three weeks before her children died; the 21 days of testimony and 84 witnesses; and the six expert witnesses who all agreed Clancy was seriously mentally ill and disagreed o...

Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial Friday in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial after jurors deadlocked. Their final note: "It is with a heavy heart that we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision and will not be able to." The panel of nine women and three men deliberated about 38 hours over seven days; jury notes indicated an 11-1 split, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington telling the court the eleven favored acquittal. Reddington twice asked Sullivan to remove the holdout ju...

The foreperson of Lindsay Clancy's jury sent a note saying one juror "refuses to listen to the law" on reasonable doubt, defense attorney Kevin Reddington told the court — and asked Judge William Sullivan to remove that juror. Sullivan declined: "I don't feel that it is proper for me to side with one side or the other of the deliberations. I don't feel it's appropriate for me to say I agree with one juror or 11." He questioned each juror individually at sidebar, with Clancy wheeled up to the ben...

For the second time in two days, jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial told Judge William Sullivan they could not agree: "After much deliberation, we are still unable to come to a unanimous decision." Sullivan responded Wednesday afternoon by reading the Tuey-Rodriguez charge — Massachusetts' version of the Allen or "dynamite" instruction, used as a last resort with a stuck jury. He told them there is no reason to suppose the case will ever go to twelve people more intelligent, impartial or co...

The singer D4vd — David Anthony Burke, 21 — dropped his private defense team Monday and will be represented by the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office, after Judge Charlaine Olmedo determined he qualified for appointed counsel. Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter withdrew without stating a reason; deputy public defenders Walid Kandeel and Lisa Roth took over and entered not-guilty pleas the same morning. Burke is charged with murder with special circumstances, continuous sexua...

A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder Monday in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, deliberating about three hours after nine days of testimony. Davis, 63, is the only person ever charged and the only surviving occupant of the Cadillac from which the shots were fired. Prosecutors never alleged he pulled the trigger, arguing he obtained the gun and orchestrated the shooting as retaliation for a casino-lobby beating of his nephew hours earlier — and built the case l...

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial enter a third day of deliberations Monday after roughly ten hours over two days without a verdict. Nine women and three men are weighing first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, or a finding of not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, following five weeks of testimony from more than eighty witnesses. On Friday the jury asked to review Clancy's prescription bottles and the knife from her suicide attempt — the medication question the de...

A Duval County jury convicted Mario Fernandez Saldana of first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony Wednesday, after just under four hours of deliberation, in the February 2022 ambush killing of Jared Bridegan. Bridegan, 33, a Microsoft senior design manager and father of four, was shot after stopping to move a tire from a dark Jacksonville Beach road with his two-year-old daughter in the back seat. Prosecutors said Fernandez Saldana solicited Henry Tenon — his former tenant...

The Commonwealth rested its case against Lindsay Clancy after FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff testified he does not believe her account that a voice ordered her to kill her three children. Saathoff, who interviewed Clancy for roughly eleven hours, called it unusual that she reported never hearing a voice before or after that day, that she described it as constant rather than intermittent, and that it stopped once the killings were done: "Committing the act is not c...

Closing arguments are expected today in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, after Judge William Sullivan denied a defense motion for a mistrial. Prosecution expert Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, testifying that Clancy told each child "go to God" as she killed them, described her Catholic upbringing and began asking whether suicide is a mortal sin before defense attorney Kevin Reddington objected — the second time the phrase has surfaced in the trial. Reddington called it "intentional misconduct." Sullivan refuse...
