The three cops who were with Derek Chauvin are currently on trail. Their fates are much less cut and dry. Lane in particular probably has a real chance at getting off. 1:It was his first day in the field. 2: Chauvin was Lane's Field Training Officer (FTO) 3: Lane asked twice if they should...

From Wikipeida (an apparently neutral source): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Chemirmir The trial ended with a hung jury (11-1) and the judge declared a mistrial. https://apnews.com/article/texas-dallas-6a915f654950f09f314ee31283217f1a For what it's worth the motivation appears...

The story is straight out of a crime fiction novel but it has never been solved. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-19/six-clues-that-have-failed-to-solve-the-somerton-man-mystery/100148922 Police will try a DNA test to see if they can solve this.

I don't know if this belongs here or in the Trials and Errors category, so feel free to move. This trial deserves a stand alone thread. Jury selection has just begun and there have been some interesting updates, such as the following...

I see no-one has started a thread on this case. Norris (wiki) was convicted on four counts of murder and one of attempted murder in 2008. He is alleged to have used insulin overdoses to murder the four elderly patients at hospitals in Leeds back in 2002. The case against him was dubious, and...

Here it is, the anniversary of Meredith's brutal murder by Rudy Guede and the site that claims to be dedicated to her memory, TJMK, doesn't even mention it. Thread continued from here. You can quote or reply to any post from that or previous parts of this thread.

Seems relevant to make a thread for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17 year old who drove from out of state to carry a rifle at the chaotic protests and riots in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Kyle was seen on multiple videos of the events shooting an unarmed protester, then...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Knight_(murderer) There is no doubt that Knight killed 7 people and injured many others in a crime where my city of Melbourne lost its innocence. He is a reprehensible creature and I’d have no problem with him remaining in jail for life. However he was...

Tessa Majors was an 18-year-old freshman at Barnard College, a private college for women in Manhattan, New York City. She was stabbed to death in an apparent mugging. A 13-year-old boy is in custody suspected of the murder. A second 14-year-old boy was detained by police but released and a third...

Fifteen year old Leah Freeman was murdered in 2000 in the state of Oregon, but the body lay undiscovered for more than a month. Her eighteen year old boyfriend Nicholas McGuffin was convicted of manslaughter in 2011 on a 10-2 jury vote. There were no eyewitnesses to the crime, and there no...

Grace Millane was on a round-the-world backpacking trip following her graduation. By December last year she was in New Zealand. It was her 22nd birthday and she hooked up with a guy (the unnamed accused) and they went on a pub-crawl. Later they went back to his flat for (he claimed) consensual...

This is a continuation thread as the previous edition had got too long. You may quote freely from the previous threads. You haven't heard? G-M had a money tree in the office.

I've just got into the Day 2 testimony. The bowl was brought up. It was on the bodycam. The bowl was on a table immediately in front of the couch. So it doesn't provide any information about Jean's movement. This is different from the video we saw before the trial that showed the bowl on an...

So CNN has an article on their front page about a murder and the suspect. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/30/us/cleveland-simone-biles-brother-triple-slaying-charges-trnd/index.html The above quote is the details of the incident. But the article was headlined on CNN's front page as Simone Biles'...

For the 100th time, the Supreme Court did not say this. In 2015 they wrote, in exonerating, that even if those things were true, all that the Nencini proved was that: Why do you never respond to the ACTUAL TEXT OF THE FINDING!? Continued from part 28. You can quote or reply to any post...

"Forensic psychologist Ian Stephen, who advised on the television crime dramas Cracker and Prime Suspect, said that was in itself a clue. He said: 'The fact he [Mitchell] kept attending school and insisted on trying to maintain as much normality as possible - and his mother insisted on this as...

I didn't originally post anything about this case because I thought it only resonates in Australia, but I read that "The Teacher's Pet" podcast reached number 1 in the UK, Canada and NZ as well as Australia. A link to the podcast: https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/the-teacher-s-pet I found...
