Halloween isn’t all about candy and pumpkins. Unfortunately, 17% more crime is committed on Halloween. And violent crime is 50% higher on Halloween than any other day of the year.

This one has a lot going on: a Halloween party, a wrongful conviction, and an unsolved murder. Let’s head to Redmond, Washington back in 2008. This is the case of Arpana Jinaga. ___...

Everyone should be free to be whoever they are - no matter how they identify. Nikki Kuhnhausen was someone who never struggled with her identity. She was confident in who she was and never apologized for it. But that wasn’t Nikki’s identifying characteristic. Nikki was a human being, just like all of us, just trying to make it through each day. She loved makeup and always fought for the underdog. And thanks to her mom, Nikki’s legacy is knowing that the LGBTQ panic defense can’t be used to just...

This case will probably go down as one of the most infamous murder cases in Oregon history. It almost seems too wild to be true. A writer authors a blog post titled, “How to Murder Your Husband” and then years later, her husband ends up murdered and she becomes the prime suspect. Maybe if Nancy Brophy had been a better writer, she would’ve written a better ending for herself. Or maybe she really was just “researching” for her next book? This is the case of Dan and Nancy Brophy. Connect with Us...

In October 1989, Gus Magisono purchased 2 illegal sawed off shotguns from a man named Randy Weaver. Unbeknownst to Weaver, Gus was actually an ATF informant.

I can’t breathe. Those words have been heard around the world after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "I can’t breathe" has become a rallying cry for African Americans across the country. I want to be perfectly clear from the outset: it doesn’t matter whether someone has a criminal record or not; no one deserves to be deprived of the ability to breathe, in the street, with such callous disregard for human life. Black Lives Matter. But before George Floyd, in fact, just 3 mon...
