Former New Mexico Attorney General Gary King’s effort to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein rested heavily on semantics, particularly his insistence that Epstein “wasn’t my friend.” But the documentary record made that explanation look increasingly strained. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell contributed thousands of dollars to King’s political campaigns, Epstein had longstanding ties to the King family through the purchase of the property that became Zorro Ranch, and King’s office was involved in

Judge John Judge issued an order denying Bryan Kohberger’s motion to strike the death penalty on the grounds that he may have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Kohberger’s defense team argued that his possible diagnosis made him categorically ineligible for the death penalty under constitutional protections. However, the judge ruled that Idaho law does not recognize autism as a categorical bar to capital punishment, unlike intellectual disability. He emphasized that while evidence of Kohberger’s mental

Bryan Kohberger’s defense filed a motion in limine asking Judge Steven Hippler to prevent surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen from describing the masked intruder she saw inside 1122 King Road as having “bushy eyebrows.” The defense argued that the description was unreliable and potentially prejudicial, pointing to the limited conditions under which Mortensen saw the man, questions about her intoxication that night and her inability to provide detailed descriptions of other facial features

Jeffrey Epstein’s control over the girls and young women he exploited went far beyond the abuse itself. Survivor accounts and court records describe a system in which Epstein gathered intimate information about their families, finances, ambitions, relationships, immigration problems, insecurities and personal crises, then used those vulnerabilities as leverage. In that sense, the information functioned like individualized dossiers: he learned what each woman wanted, what she feared and what could be

In the days after the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, attention increasingly centered on the unusual layout of the three-story King Road house and how an attacker could have moved through it without immediately alerting everyone inside. The home had six bedrooms spread across three levels, multiple entrances and a sliding-glass door at the rear, while the victims were found on the second and third floors. Two surviving roommates were also inside the house

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the biological instruction manual found in nearly every cell of the human body, and with the exception of identical twins, each person’s DNA profile is effectively unique. For investigators, that uniqueness makes DNA one of the most powerful identification tools in modern criminal justice. Biological material such as blood, saliva, semen, skin cells, hair with tissue attached and other bodily fluids can be collected from a crime scene and analyzed in a

The Lori Vallow case provides a stark test of the argument that severe mental illness should, by itself, substantially diminish or erase criminal responsibility for the killing of children.

If the mere existence of profound psychiatric disturbance is enough to establish innocence, then Vallow would appear to
