• Geraldo Rivera Claims That Michael Slager Will Never 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.

  • Andrew Jarecki Says Robert Durst Audio Tapes Were 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. Her sentencing retrial began back in October because jurors were deadlocked the first time around.

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.
