67-year-old David Hearn, who represented the United States in three Olympics as a canoeist, is now fighting for his freedom. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro announced the felony charge against Hearn after she says he “violently” and “maliciously” destroyed 2 square feet of reflecting pool liner. Hearn has admitted to touching the liner out of curiosity, but denies removing or damaging it. His attorneys say this is a misuse of government power to shift blame for their own failures refurbishing the pool.

Attorneys and the family of 1 year old Kohen Wiley say a preliminary autopsy contradicts the police version of events that led to Kohen’s death. Officers claim Kohen’s mom and her friend were driving their vehicle towards police as they were trying to flee a Walmart after reportedly stealing a box of diapers. However, the independent autopsy suggests the bullet that struck little Kohen came from the passenger side window, not the front windshield.

Following a report by Reuters this week that NONE of the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes are legitimate, the FBI has released a statement attempting to clarify what they believe is real and what isn’t. While the feds admit that some of the notes were, in fact, extortion attempts, they insist that some of the other ransom notes “may potentially be legitimate and are still to be investigated as such.” This is just another confusing twist in the mystery that deepens with every confusing headline.

It was a remarkable spectacle here in New York City this afternoon!
