A grand jury has indicted 22-year-old Laken Snelling with the much more serious charge of first degree manslaughter for the death of her newborn baby last August. Police initially charged the college senior with lesser counts of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence after finding the body of her newborn hidden in a black trash bag in Snelling’s closet. The medical examiner determined the baby was born alive, but died by “asphyxia by undetermined means.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tennessee prosecutors say former NFL Linebacker, 31-year-old Darron Lee, viciously beat and stabbed his fiancé to death and then asked ChatGPT how to cover up the crime scene. In a preliminary hearing, prosecutors told the judge they believe the victim suffered for multiple days, beaten and stabbed, while Lee asked the bot what to do and what to say to authorities before eventually calling 9-1-1. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a surprising and rare move, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of a man who was scheduled to die by nitrogen gas on Thursday.  75 year old Charles “Sonny” Burton was convicted of the 1991 murder of Doug Battle because he was a part of a robbery where one of his cohorts shot and killed Battle.  While the man who pulled the trigger got life in prison, Burton wound up on death row.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Alabama’s longest serving death row inmates is waiting to hear from prosecutors, after a court ordered them to pursue a new trial for 63-year-old Michael Sockwell, or he will be released. Sockwell was convicted for the 1988 murder of a sheriff’s deputy, but a court has determined the prosecutor who seated his jury, “repeatedly and purposefully” rejected qualified black jurors. The court set a deadline of March 18th, and because the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Alabama’s appeal, prosecutors have until next week to make a move.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The eldest grandchild of President Trump, 18-year-old Kai Trump, was feeling the heat from her latest YouTube channel vlog, so she changed the name of her video, but left the content up.  Now entitled, “I Tried The World’s Most Expensive Grocery Store," the video shows Kai aghast at the prices she’s racking up while purchasing expensive organic products. Despite the name change, it’s still racking up thousands of angry comments, calling Kai tone deaf and offensive given the state of the world right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NASA knows that one of its massive satellites will crash to Earth, they’re just not sure exactly when or where. But don’t worry, NASA says the risk of harm is “low," but notably NOT ZERO. The space agency predicts the satellite will reenter Earth’s atmosphere at 7:45 pm ET, “plus or minus 24 hours” and says the chance of anyone being is harmed is approximately 1 in 4200… Not exactly reassuring!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
