• Man Accused of Murdering Father in Maine Brings Up Slayer at Hearing [WATCH]

    A man charged with brutally murdering his father and cutting up his remains was recently ruled incompetent to stand trial in Maine. During a hearing yesterday, Jan. 5, Leroy Smith III told the judge that the band Slayer had once been present in 2011 when he had a gun pointed at his head. His statement had nothing to do with the May 2014 slaying and Smith was subsequently ruled unfit to stand trial, centralmaine.com reports. Smith described a bizarre scenario during his hearing despite the judge telling him that if he spoke he would be removed from the courtroom. "With my case, they're telling me that my story is delusional grandiose of proceedings that happened, and they're not investigating it," he said. "The fact of the matter [is that] in 2011 I had a gun pointed to my head and was sworn to keep secret of what I am. And they refused investigating any persons that are responsible. The whole entire music group Slayer was there. I was told then that what they did was too overboard. I sent them a message on Facebook and that Jeff Hanneman, the guitarist, takes his own life. He took his own life May 5 of 2013." Founding guitarist Hanneman died May 3, 2013, from liver failure.

  • Kaci Hickox, Nurse Tangled in Ebola Scandal, Breaks Quarantine after Insisting She Has No Symptoms, Ready to Go to Court to Fight for Human Rights

    Kaci Hickox believes the battle she is waging is not just about Ebola. She is the nurse who returned from treating Ebola patients in West Africa just last week and, upon landing in Newark, New Jersey, she was taken to a medical detention center to be quarantined. The scuffle began because Hickox reportedly had an elevated temperature when arriving at the airport, and so she was immediately quarantined in a tent. Eventually, Hickox was allowed to leave and returned to her Fort Kent, Maine, home, where she is locked in a battle over whether or not she is a threat to the general public. She has broken quarantine and is willing to go to court over the matter.
