  Christa Pike's Failed Execution: One Doctor, Two Botched Attempts, Murdaugh Says the State Hid a Police Chief's Role, TJ Wiggins Faces Death

  Oct 1, 202616 min

  Christa Gail Pike remains hospitalized two days after Tennessee failed to execute her, and her attorneys say they still have not been told her condition. Dr. Mark Walton Fowler, the contract physician who publicly confirmed he would oversee her execution, was also the physician involved in Tennessee's halted execution of Tony Carruthers in May; Carruthers's sister has filed a Department of Health complaint alleging malpractice, and no disciplinary action has been announced. The state's written protocol directs a second set of syringes if the first fails but says nothing about what happens if the second fails too. Robin Maher of the Death Penalty Information Center calls it unlike any botched execution in the modern era. Gov. Bill Lee has ordered a third-party review. In Florida, a Polk County jury convicted Tony Lee "TJ" Wiggins Jr. of first-degree murder in the 2020 killings of Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield, and is now hearing whether to recommend death. And Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have moved to compel records, saying the state has held a witness statement since 2023 that a police chief handled the never-recovered murder weapons.

  Tennessee Fails to Execute Christa Pike for Colleen Slemmer's Murder, Two Doses and She Survived, Governor Halts All 2026 Executions

  Oct 1, 202618 min

  Tennessee failed to execute Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday night. After the Sixth Circuit stayed her execution an hour before its scheduled 10 a.m. start and the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that stay hours later, the state administered two doses of pentobarbital — the maximum its protocol allows — and Pike, 50, remained alive. Media witnesses reported she was still breathing more than 40 minutes later. She was taken by ambulance to a hospital, and her attorneys say they still have not been told her condition. Gov. Bill Lee has paused the state's remaining 2026 executions and called for a comprehensive third-party review. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 torture killing of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville; she was 18 at the time, and her lawyers had warned a blood disorder created a substantial risk of a prolonged and painful execution. Also: Judge William Sullivan is weighing a motion that would end the Lindsay Clancy case permanently, and former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell is asking to move his federal trial out of Massachusetts days before jury selection in the death of Sandra Birchmore, 23.

  GUILTY: Caleb Flynn Convicted in Ashley Flynn's Murder, Jury Out Under Three Hours, Lindsay Clancy Hearing Ends With No Decision

  Sep 30, 202618 min

  A Miami County, Ohio, jury convicted Caleb Flynn, 40, on Tuesday of aggravated murder and every other count in the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, a middle school volleyball coach and mother of two. Jurors deliberated under three hours after a trial that began Sept. 18 and heard from more than 40 witnesses. Prosecutors argued Flynn shot his wife as she slept and staged the scene as a burglary, pointing to a garage door damaged only from the inside, his own missing handgun, phone activity during the hours he told police he was asleep, and more than 100,000 messages with a worship leader at his church, who has not been charged. Flynn, who quietly wept as Judge Jeannine Pratt read the verdict, faces up to life without parole; sentencing is scheduled for next week. Also: Lindsay Clancy returned to Plymouth Superior Court for the first time since her Sept. 4 mistrial and left with nothing decided — no ruling, no trial date, and no word from DA Timothy Cruz on whether he will retry her in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. And prosecutors closed their capital case against Tony "TJ" Wiggins in the Frostproof killings of Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield. Garret Fisher reports.

  GUILTY: Surgeon Tomasz Kosowski Convicted in Steven Cozzi Murder, Won't Fight for His Own Life, Caleb Flynn's Mistress Reads the Texts

  Sep 29, 202616 min

  Plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, 47, was convicted of first-degree murder last Wednesday in the 2023 killing of Largo attorney Steven Cozzi, 41, after representing himself, waiving his right to a jury, and putting on no defense. Judge Joseph Bulone deliberated about 15 minutes. Kosowski then declined counsel for the penalty phase and said he will present no mitigating evidence; a Spencer hearing is set for Oct. 8, after which Bulone alone will decide between life without parole and death. In Ohio, Alleigha Botner, 24, testified for two days in the trial of Caleb Flynn, 40, the former American Idol contestant charged in the February shooting death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37 — reading aloud from roughly 107,000 messages and telling jurors she now hates him because she believes he killed his wife. Flynn has pleaded not guilty; Botner has not been charged. And in Lake County, Florida, jurors recommended life for Vickie Lynn Williams, 53, convicted of the New Year's Eve 2022 murders of Darryl and Sharon Getman at a Mount Dora retirement community; Judge Cary Rada imposed consecutive life terms.

  The Tylenol Murders: Idaho Names the 'Unknown Wanderer', Illinois Investigators Say No, and the Seven Victims Nobody Names

  Sep 28, 202618 min

  Mary Kellerman was twelve years old when her parents gave her an Extra-Strength Tylenol capsule on the morning of September 29, 1982. She died that morning. Within three days, six more people in the Chicago area were dead: Adam, Stanley and Theresa Janus, Mary McFarland, Paula Prince and Mary Reiner. Seven people, poisoned by potassium cyanide packed into capsules on a drugstore shelf, and no one has ever been charged. The foil seal on every bottle in every American medicine cabinet exists because of them. Forty-four years later, a sheriff's office in Idaho has identified the "Unknown Wanderer," a man who died by cyanide poisoning under a church pew in Boise two months after the killings, and laid out circumstances it says warrant scrutiny — while stating plainly it is not naming him a suspect and cannot place him in Chicago that week. Illinois investigators who worked the original case say the cyanide was a different compound, the DNA did not match, and the task force ruled him out decades ago. Garret Fisher on what actually happened in 1982, why no one was ever prosecuted, and what it costs to name a man who cannot answer. Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!
