Morning Run: LA Terror Plot Foiled, Brown University Manhunt, Reiner Deaths’ Details, Brian Walshe Guilty, Execution On Hold and RIP GH’s “Luke”

The state of Georgia has just suspended the execution of 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys scheduled for this Wednesday. Because two members of its pardons and parole board have alleged conflicts of interest, the clemency hearing scheduled for today has now been “postponed until further notice.”  Humphreys had already made headlines earlier for his exorbitant and jaw dropping last meal request which you have to hear to believe. Finally, as Florida continues its record setting year of executions, its last lethal injection is set for Thursday, just as new research shows public opposition for the death penalty is at its highest level in nearly 50 years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Criminal Defense Attorney Alison Triessl joins Amy and T.J. to discuss today’s sooner than expected guilty verdict in the Brian Walshe trial. Triessl talks about how the defense overplayed its hand, and already had an uphill battle with those devastating and gruesome searches Brian made shortly after his wife Ana’s death. Despite the prosecution’s lackluster presentation, and the lack of a body or known cause of death, it took the jury less than 6 hours to return a guilty verdict.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After less than 6 hours the jury in the Brian Walshe trial came back with the unanimous decision to find him guilty as charged. Walshe appeared emotionless and had zero interaction with his defense team as the decision was read aloud. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
