Ex-Titans Scout Blaise Taylor on Trial in Jade Benning's Poisoning Death, a Teen Killer Out of Appeals, a Sidewalk-Push Murder Charge

Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Nashville, jury selection has begun in the first-degree and felony murder trial of Blaise Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans pro scout accused of secretly poisoning his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, in February 2023; Benning's unborn daughter died days later, and Benning herself died on March 6 — her 25th birthday. He has pleaded not guilty, the defense is contesting the forensic evidence, and the state is seeking life without parole. In Cape Coral, Florida, Thomas Stein — convicted of felony murder and three counts of attempted murder in the 2024 shooting death of 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller during an attempted robbery — has had his motion for a new trial denied; he faces a mandatory life sentence at his July 10 sentencing. And in Miami, Jacob Kohlhas, 72, charged with second-degree murder in the death of 65-year-old Alisa Toth, who died after he allegedly pushed her on a public sidewalk, is asking a judge to bar the charge on speedy-trial grounds, arguing prosecutors filed it after the clock had run. He has pleaded not guilty.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!

George Pino's Birthday Boat-Crash Trial Goes to the Jury in Lucy Fernandez's Death, the Fight Before the Lindsay Clancy Trial, a Killer Dog

Garret Fisher covers three cases, each turning on a warning that came first. In Miami, the manslaughter and vessel-homicide trial of George Pino, 55, goes to the jury today after both sides rested — Pino is accused of recklessly piloting his boat into a Biscayne Bay channel marker in 2022, killing 17-year-old Luciana "Lucy" Fernandez and severely injuring another teen, Katerina "Katy" Puig, during his daughter's birthday celebration. He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent, maintaining the crash was an accident. In Essex, Vermont, Janna Campbell, 43, has pleaded not guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the March death of her 76-year-old father, Stephen Campbell, who had dementia and was mauled by her pit bull — a dog the town had already formally labeled dangerous after prior attacks. And in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a final pretrial hearing has set the stage for the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, 35, charged in the 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan; Clancy does not deny the killings but argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Jury selection is set for July 20.This episode touches on the deaths of children and on suicide.

Diddy Lawsuit Tossed as a Judge Calls the Claims "Odious," Anna Kepner's Stepbrother Jailed Until Trial, Tiger Woods DUI Records Fight

Garret Fisher runs through four updates. In New York, a federal judge has dismissed singer Dawn Richard's civil suit against Sean "Diddy" Combs — not on the merits, but because the statute of limitations had run out; Judge Katherine Polk Failla called the alleged conduct "indisputably odious" while ruling 17 of 18 claims time-barred, leaving one gender-motivated-violence claim that Richard may refile in state court. Combs remains imprisoned on his prostitution-transportation convictions and is appealing. In the Anna Kepner case, a federal magistrate judge has ordered her 16-year-old stepbrother, Timothy Hudson — charged as an adult with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse in the 2025 cruise-ship death of the 18-year-old — held in custody until his September trial, citing the danger the charges describe. Hudson has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; the order concerns risk, not guilt. In the Tiger Woods DUI case, prosecutors are seeking the golfer's hospital treatment records from the day of his March crash, after he refused chemical testing at the scene; he has pleaded not guilty, with a July 7 hearing set. And in Miami, the George Pino boat-crash trial has turned to the defense, with survivors of the 2022 crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez testifying for the man who was driving; Pino has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.Join our new FB groups page here.

Gilgo Beach, Finally: Rex Heuermann Sentenced to Life Without Parole as 8 Families Face Him

Garret Fisher closes the book on Gilgo Beach. After nearly three years of silence, Rex Heuermann — the 62-year-old Long Island architect who murdered eight women between 1993 and 2010 — was sentenced Wednesday in a Suffolk County courtroom to three consecutive life sentences without parole, followed by four more consecutive terms of 25 years to life. There is no parole anywhere in the sentence; he will die in prison. Judge Timothy Mazzei called him "a disgusting and small man," and District Attorney Ray Tierney dismissed his remorse as self-serving — "he is very sorry he got caught." But the day belonged to the families of Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Karen Vergata, who one by one stood and took the courtroom away from the man who tried to make them invisible. Heuermann spoke for about ten seconds; the families spoke for all eight women. This episode covers the sentence, the prosecution's "shopping list for murder" planning document, and the victim-impact statements that gave these women back their voices.Join our new FB groups page here.

"Black Widow" Mother-in-Law Sentenced in the Family Trap Murder, a "Hit List" Killer Convicted in Under an Hour, the Boat-Crash Trial

Garret Fisher covers three cases. In Provo, Utah, Tracey Grist, 61, has been sentenced to consecutive terms — which the judge said should keep her imprisoned for life — after being convicted of masterminding the "family trap" killing of her son-in-law, Matthew Restelli, 42, who was lured to her home and shot by her son under the pretense of picking up his wife and children. In Waukesha, Wisconsin, Kevin "Conrad" Lychwick, 63, who represented himself and kept handwritten "operations" naming his victim, has been convicted of first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in the death of his neighbor, Carlos Maldonado, 56 — the jury deliberated under an hour, and a 1939 Luger in Lychwick's trunk was ballistically matched to the killing. He faces a mandatory life sentence at an August hearing. And in Miami, the prosecution has rested in the manslaughter and vessel-homicide trial of George Pino, 56, accused in the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez on the ride home from his daughter's birthday party; the defense case is next. He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!
