• 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.

Rice was suspended indefinitely at the start of the current season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after that now-infamous elevator security tape was released showing Rice knocking out Janay Palmer with one punch. The general public was outraged to learn Rice was originally punished with just a two-game suspension and Goodell had to act quickly to try and save face, so he threw the proverbial book at Rice. A final appeal hearing is scheduled for mid-November, and it could easily swing in Rice's favor.
