Prosecutors: 'Troves' of CSAM on D4vd's Phone | Crime Alert 04.24.26

The father of the teen boy responsible for a mass shooting at a Winder, Georgia high school is being held accountable for his son Colt Gray's actions. Colin Gray convicted of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, cruelty to children, and reckless conduct after less than two hours of deliberation.   The FBI first investigated Colt Gray in May 2023 after receiving a tip about a school shooting threat via Discord, a gaming chat platform. Colin Gray told investigators he had been teaching his son about "firearms and safety" and how to hunt. He stated that if his son had made any threats, he "would be mad as hell and then all the guns would be taken away." Colt denied making threats. After the investigation, Colin Gray purchased his son an AR-15-style rifle as a gift. Colin Gray will be sentenced in July facing up to 180 years in prison.

Convicted killer Pamela Smart, 57,  serving life without parole for masterminding the 1990 murder of her husband, Gregg Smart,  claims her conviction was tainted by faulty audio evidence and media bias.  Smart’s legal team filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that transcripts of audio tapes played at her 1991 trial were inaccurate and created "expectation bias" among jurors.  The state of New Hampshire has asked a judge to dismiss the petition.    Smart's co-conspirators  under the age of 18 at the time of the killing, has been released from prison.    Joining Nancy Grace today:  Randy Kessler  -  Trial Lawyer, Emory Law School Professor, Past Chair ABA Family Law Section, Author: "Divorce, Protect Yourself, Your Kids and Your Future", www.KSFamilyLaw.com, Instagram: @rkessler23, Twitter: @GADivorce,  Allison Paganelli  - Board Certified Forensic Psychologist,  website: parkdietzassociates.com Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County, Host of Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue”, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University),   Colleen Cronin  - Reporter from the Boston Herald, website: BostonHerald.com, X: @colleen_cronin Sydney Sumner  -  Investigative Reporter, ‘Crime Stories See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
