Tonight, 74-year-old Dennis Sochor is set to die by lethal injection for the 1982 rape and murder of an 18-year-old girl he met on New Year’s Eve. Even though Sochor confessed to the crime, he never revealed where he left her body. To date, Patty Gifford’s body has never been found and the family has been tortured by that fact, in addition to waiting 44 years for Sochor’s execution. Still, there are many who believe it is cruel and unusual to execute elderly inmates, and this is just the second in a series of three executions in Florida that are setting records, each inmate older than the next. At the end of this month, Florida plans to execute an 80-year-old convicted murderer.

The sixth film in the notoriously dark and gory franchise is the most intense, grisly and gory one yet. We weren’t sure the movie could live up to all the hype, but it certainly did, and even surpassed our expectations. However, speaking of expectations, the film has not lived up to what producers were hoping, falling far short in its opening weekend. Perhaps, it’s just too scary, too violent and too much for most movie-goers… don’t judge us for highly recommending this flick to people with iron stomachs.

The first trial to be televised in the U.S. was none other than Pamela Smart: the teacher who had an affair with her student and convinced him to kill her husband… Or so the jury declared.

Do Emily and Shane believe this trial was anything other than a “he said, she said”? Did the overwhelming media presence influence the jury? Did her sentence fit the crime?

Have you ever heard of Nihilistic Violent Extremist groups, or NVEs? Well, the FBI wants to make sure you are up to speed on several online groups in this country actively targeting and recruiting your young kids to commit acts of violence towards others and themselves. The warning issued to parents this week reads like a horror movie, with the conviction of a 19-year-old who is just one of dozens of mostly young men who are obsessed with violence and mass killings. The feds say their targets are often underage females, and kids who are struggling with depression, and encourage them through grooming tactics and coercion to harm themselves, even kill themselves on livestreams and videos.

A Florida couple thought they could dip down to the pool and have a drink while their young kids were in cribs upstairs at their Key Largo Resort over the Fourth of July weekend. Hotel staff heard the kids crying and called police who promptly arrested the couple and placed the kids in protective custody.
