@defense_diaries Aside from the controversial snot heard round the world, why’s everyone ignoring the fact that calling a woman a douche is weird AF? No one does that ...
I know Caleb Flynn failed Crime Scene Staging 101, but this jackass can’t even swear like a normal human.
Last week, Richard Allen’s attorneys went before the Indiana Court of Appeals and argued for a new trial, based in part on evidence the original trial judge kept from the jury.
The jury seems to believe they got it right.
Here is just a fraction of what they never heard.

@CoffindafferFBI@genesijesi@478SGB@CoffindafferFBI I think your “point” could have been made without mentioning the Clancy jurors. But you wanted to include that case for a reason. After all, you could have simply said you have concerns. The language of your post was absolutely intended to inflame public opinion.

After nearly six years, human remains discovered in Caldwell County, Texas, have been identified as missing Texas State student Jason Landry.
Jason vanished in December 2020 after crashing his car on a remote road near Luling. Authorities say the remains do not currently reveal a cause of death, and there is no indication of foul play at this time.
After years of searching, one question has finally been answered. Many others remain.

@JoeGiacalone Sarge, I think Ted Bundy already wrote that book — but if he opts to take the stand in his own defense and proceeds to question himself he could write the book, ‘How to Go Pro Se the Alcala Way’.

@JLRINVESTIGATES Wow! I had no idea we even had a village named Energy! It’s clear down by SIU so no wonder we didn’t hear about this explosion up here on Chicago news. Thanks @JLRINVESTIGATES for always having the best news coverage!!
Proof positive that @IanRunkle has safely arrived in Chicago and further that he has now consumed both a Johnnie’s Italian beef and an Italian lemonade.
I will leave it up to Ian to review the delectable sandwich outside of my sphere of influence. 😃
Please read:
The so-called “Son of Sam” laws in the United States were intended to prevent criminals from profiting from notoriety tied to violent crimes. But in practice, many of these laws are narrow, inconsistent, outdated, or weakened by constitutional challenges — leaving enormous loopholes that victims’ families are forced to watch play out in real time.
The case surrounding the Long Island Serial Killer investigation is one example. While families of the Gilgo victims continue seeking justice, an ecosystem of documentaries, interviews, streaming productions, online content, and murderabilia has emerged around the case. Much of it generates revenue, attention, and cultural capital from the suffering of victims and their loved ones, while families themselves are often excluded from decision-making, compensation, or even basic dignity.
But Gilgo is far from unique.
In Ohio, the family of Dominic Russo has similarly pushed for reform after launching a petition to close legal loopholes they believe allowed tragedy to become entertainment. Dominic Russo and Davion Flanigan were killed when Mackenzie Shirilla crashed her vehicle into a wall at more than 100 miles per hour. Following the case, the Russo and Flanigan families have endured a wave of documentaries, social media content, and sensationalized coverage that monetized their loss while reopening emotional wounds.
These cases expose the same fundamental problem: existing laws often focus narrowly on direct profits earned by offenders themselves, while failing to address the modern true-crime economy surrounding high-profile violence. Today, notoriety is monetized through streaming platforms, influencer culture, advertising revenue, collectibles, licensing deals, podcasts, and algorithm-driven engagement — industries that largely did not exist when many Son of Sam statutes were drafted.
Victims’ families are increasingly arguing that the law has not kept pace with the commercialization of violence. The issue is no longer only whether an offender can sell a book about their crime. It is whether an entire marketplace can profit endlessly from murder and trauma while those left behind carry the lifelong consequences.
You can help.
For Gilgo, pinned to my profile is information how you can support advancing NYS Bill #A6730.
