• Geraldo: Michael Slager Won't Be Convicted of Murdering Walter Scott

    The case of former South Carolina police officer Michael Slager, who shot and killed Walter Scott last week after a traffic stop went horribly wrong, has gripped the country for days. While two videos have surfaced -- one from a police dash cam and the other now-infamous footage filmed by a bystander -- there is always room to debate the murder charge that has been filed against Slager. Who better to argue what might have seemed like an obvious outcome then Geraldo Rivera? Rivera believes that Slager will never be convicted of murdering Scott.

  • Andrew Jarecki: Robert Durst Audio Tapes Turned Over to Police Months Ago

    HBO had teased that 'The Jinx' was going to end in explosive fashion, and it was not kidding. Just hours before the finale of the documentary based on Robert Durst was set to air, police moved in and arrested him on a murder warrant for the death of Susan Berman. She had served as Durst's spokeswoman and was shot in the back of the head in 2000. It was right before she was expected to be questioned about the disappearance of Durst's first wife Kathleen nearly 20 years earlier. Ironically, a typo on a handwritten piece of paper is what ultimately lead to Durst's unraveling. Andrew Jarecki was the director of 'The Jinx' and spent a good deal of time with Durst. He and the rest of the production team was absolutely stunned to hear Durst mutter into an open mic, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." While it can and no doubt will be argued that Durst assumed he had privacy while in the bathroom, the fact is he still had a hot mic clipped to him and understood how it worked. Jarecki turned all the audio tapes over to police months ago, and on Monday, March 16, he sat to discuss his experience with Durst on 'CBS This Morning.'

  • Jodi Arias Trial: Defense Has Rested in Penalty Phase

    Jodi Arias' defense team has done everything that they can to spare her life during the penalty phase of her trial and they have already rested their case. The prosecution will be up next to try and convince the Phoenix jury that she deserves the death penalty for killing Travis Alexander back in 2008.

As reported, Cool C was originally scheduled to be executed March 9, 2006, but he was granted a delay by the governor of Pennsylvania at the time.

  • 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.
