On February 17, 1970, at around 3:00 a.m., Military Police at Ft. Bragg, NC responded to a call for help from the on-base residence of Captain Jeffrey MacDonald. They found the bodies of Colette MacDonald, who was pregnant with the couple's third child, on the floor of the master bedroom and daughters, Kimberly and Kristen in their beds. The only survivor was MacDonald, who sustained non-life threatning injuries. MacDonald claimed that a group of drug-crazed hippies attacked the family and killed Collette, Kim and Kristy. From the beginning, CID investigators doubted MacDonald's story, due both to the absence of evidence in the room where MacDonald claimed to have engaged in a life-and-death struggle with attackers and the inconsistent evidence found with the bodies of his wife and daughters. Since MacDonald's conviction in 1979, he has filed multiple claims in federal courts, seeking reversal of his conviction, including twice seeking relief at the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1999, Alstory Simon pled guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.  His plea came about after a private investigator and a Northwestern journalism professor and his students investigating a 1982 double murder case in Chicago decided that Simon was the “real killer” and fabricated evidence that led to Simon’s coerced and false confession.  The killer, Anthony Porter, was released from prison as a result of their investigation.  Not satisfied with freeing Porter, the investigator, professor and students gave false testimony to two grand juries convened in the case.  Simon was indicted by the second grand jury, based on the false testimony offered by Porter’s advocates.  Simon spent the next 15 years challenging his plea.  He was released in 2014.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. CDT,  for an interview with Martin Preib a Chicago police officer and the author of Crooked City, whose work on the documentary Murder in the Park helped free Simon from prison and William Crawford, a former reporter, writer and legal affairs columnist for the Chicago Tribune and the author of Justice Perverted:  How The Innocence Project at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism Sent an Innocent Man to Prison.   We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.     In Memory of William “Bill” Allen Loving Husband, Son, Brother, Father and Grandfather January 1, 1956 to June 17, 2018

People v. Kevin Cooper (Part 1 - 1983 to 2001) On June 2, 1983, Kevin Cooper escaped from the Chino Institution for Men (CIM) in Chino, California.  Cooper, who had a long history of escape from prison facilities and mental hospitals, was using the alias “David Trautman” and prison officials were unaware of his true identity.  While hiding in a vacant house in the Chino Hills area, Cooper tried and failed to get money from two girlfriends so that he could leave the area.  During the night of June 4, or early on the morning of June 5, Cooper entered the home of Doug and Peggy Ryen through a sliding door leading into the master bedroom.  By the time Cooper left the Ryen house, Doug, Peggy, their daughter Jessica and family friend Christopher Hughes were dead.  Josh Ryen, the Ryens’ 8-year old son, was the only survivor.  Cooper stole the Ryen family’s station wagon and made his way to Long Beach, California, where he abandoned the car and headed to Tijuana, Mexico.  Cooper, using the alias “Angel Jackson,” got a job on a boat and returned to California.  On July 30, 1983, while in Santa Barbara, California, Cooper raped a 26-year old woman at knifepoint and attempted yet another escape when authorities tried to arrest him. Authorities in Santa Barbara soon discovered his true identity and he was returned to San Bernardino County, California to face charges related to the Ryen murders and his escape from CIM.   Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan for a discussion of the evidence against Cooper, his claims of evidence manipulation and tampering and initial request for DNA testing. We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.  

On February 19, 1985, after a trial that lasted five months, Kevin Cooper was convicted of the June 4, 1983 murders of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their daughter Jessica and family friend, Christopher Hughes. Cooper was also convicted of the attempted murder of the Ryen’s 8-year old son, Josh, who was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. On March 1, 1985, the jury recommended that Cooper be sentenced to death and, on May 15, 1985, after denying post-trial motions filed by Cooper, the judge sentenced Cooper to death. Through his direct appeal and numerous post-conviction claims made in state and federal courts, Cooper has alleged that authorities manipulated and tampered with evidence and that exculpatory evidence was withheld or destroyed. In May, 2001, the parties agreed to limited DNA testing of evidence Cooper's expert identified as crucial to the question of guilt, or innocence. When the DNA results did not exonerate him, Cooper and his attorneys claimed that authorities in San Bernardino County planted evidence to frame him. On the eve of his scheduled execution on February 10, 2004, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed Cooper’s execution to permit him to return to federal district court to develop his tampering claims and to perform additional testing. Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Thursday, July 19, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central, for a discussion of Cooper’s post-conviction claims, the results of testing and the status of his case.

On November 21, 2004, Christopher Anthony Young entered the convenience store/dry cleaner of "Hash" Patel.  Video and audio surveillance captured Young, armed with a silver pistol, as he attempted to rob Patel, shooting multiple times when Patel didn’t move fast enough.  When the store’s alarm was triggered by Patel, Young left the store in a vehicle he’d stolen from a woman he sexually assaulted in front of her three children approximately an hour before Patel’s murder.   Young was convicted and sentenced to death.  His conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal and his state and federal post-conviction challenges were unsuccessful.  Young’s appeal for clemency, although supported by Mitesh Patel, the victim’s son, was denied and he was executed by the State of Texas on July 17, 2018.  Young was the eighth person executed in Texas this year.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, July 24, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central as we discuss Young’s case, the issues he raised to challenge his conviction and sentence and the allegations of racial bias made after his bid for clemency was denied by the Texas Board of Pardon and Parole.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.

On June 16, 2008, Casey Anthony left her parents’ home in Orlando, Florida with her daughter, Caylee.  Caylee’s grandfather, George, was the last person, other than Casey, to see her alive.  For 31 days, Casey lied to her mother about where she and Caylee were, who they were with and what they were doing.  On July 15, 2008, Cindy Anthony tracked her daughter down and demanded that Casey take her to Caylee.  Eventually, Casey told her brother that Caylee had been kidnaped by a fictional “nanny.”  In response to Cindy Anthony’s frantic call, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department began their investigation by taking Casey around Orlando to places she claimed the babysitter had lived.  The next day, investigators returned, bringing Casey to her office at Universal Studios.  After leading investigators on a second wild goose chase, Casey finally admitted that she hadn’t worked there since shortly after Caylee’s birth in 2005.  In spite of blunt statements from investigators, Casey continued telling the kidnaping story.  She was arrested and jailed, yet continued claiming that her daughter had been kidnaped by a non-existent “nanny.”  When Caylee’s body was found in December, 2008 in a wooded area a half mile from the Anthony residence, Casey was charged with first degree murder.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, August 21, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the facts surrounding Caylee’s disappearance, the evidence against Casey Anthony, the controversial verdict that resulted in her acquittal of all charges arising from Caylee’s death and the change in the law in Florida and other states that were spurred by this tragedy.

Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner, disappeared on Christmas Eve, 2002.  The community in Modesto, California rallied, organizing search parties and tip lines in hopes of finding Laci and her baby.  Her husband Scott’s attempts to avoid the media were unsuccessful and, shortly after Laci’s disappearance, Amber Frey contacted investigators and revealed that she’d been involved in an affair with Scott since November, 2002.   Over the next several weeks, Amber secretly recorded her phone calls with Scott, including a call Scott placed while at a vigil held for Laci that was held on New Year’s Eve.  In April, 2003, Conner and Laci’s bodies washed up on a beach in Richmond, California, in the same area of the San Francisco Bay where Scott was fishing on December 24, 2002.  When Scott was arrested near San Diego, his dark hair was brassy blonde and he’d grown a goatee and mustache.  He was carrying $15,000.00 in cash, a knife, three cell phones, pills, camping equipment, clothing, his brother’s driver’s license and directions to Amber Frey’s place of employment.  Join Michael Carnahan and Lisa O’Brien on Tuesday, August 28, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. CDT, for a discussion of the evidence against Scott Peterson, the defense claims and the status of his appeals.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.

Just a few short weeks left until October 20th and Halloween Resurrection! And things are getting down right creepy for Mr 99% “Bad” Brad.

We will discuss this tonight and see if we believe he is indeed safe. Speaking of safe no one will be safe this weekend from the anger of Curtis Dawn. “The Main Event” has been on the war path ever since loosing a triple threat at the last show! Will he be able to get his hands on the Evolution Champion? Or will “The Mistress of Mayhem” continue to be just a step quicker? Speaking of quick things quickly changed during the ASWF Championship in a hurry. As “The Elements of Perfection” tried to interject themselves in the match. And MC B-Side came to the aid of his “Friend” Mike Anthony the challenger. The ring quickly cleared leaving only those two remaining. And that’s when B-Side struck and cost Anthony the ASWF Championship! Speaking of shockers what has gotten into “Insane Shane”?

Law of Parties, also known as "accomplice liability," provides that a person who instigates a crime, or an accomplice to a crime, can be held to be legally culpable for the full extent of the crime, even if the individual did not directly participate in the crime or was not present at the time the crime was committed.  The Felony Murder Rule states that a person who commits a felony, such as kidnapping, rape, burglary or armed robbery, can be found to be legally culpable for any death that occurs, even where there is no specific act against the victim, or an intent to cause the victim’s death.  Both concepts have been challenged by legal scholars, defense attorneys and advocates for individuals convicted and sentenced to death, or life in prison under either scenario.  Join Lisa O'Brien and Michael Carnahan at 8:00 p.m. Central on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, for a discussion of the laws, the challenges to the prosecution and to the laws, as well as examples of some cases prosecuted under either Law of Parties or Felony Murder Rule.  We're a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.

In Memory of Frank Labarre 3/16/1928 - 1/6/2018   At 2:31 a.m. on June 6, 1996, Darlie Routier placed a call to 911 to summon help for herself and her sons, Devon and Damon.  Darlie claimed to have been stabbed, along with her sons, by an intruder or intruders, who fled through the garage of their home in Rowlett, Texas.  Police officers and an ambulance arrived within five minutes.  Devon died before help could arrive and Damon died on the way to the hospital.  Darlie’s injuries were described as superficial.  A crime scene analyst who examined the scene the following morning suspected that the crime scene had been staged.  No unknown DNA profiles were found in DNA testing conducted prior to trial and Darlie’s defense team received cuttings and samples of evidence, but did not seek funding to perform their own testing.  In early 1997, Darlie was convicted of the capital murder of her younger son, Damon, and sentenced to death.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan for a discussion of the case against Darlie Routier, the inconsistencies in her various statements, the allegations made by her attorneys and family to support her claims of wrongful conviction and the status of her post-conviction claims, including post-conviction DNA testing.  We’ll be joined by members and moderators from “Stop the Lies: Darlie Routier is Guilty” page on Facebook.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.   To find out more about Barran’s Bears, go to their webpage at www.barransbearsinc.com or visit them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Barransbears/  

Join the “Voice Of The ASWF” Michael Carnahan and Cody this week. Things have never been more red hot in the ASWF and things are just getting started. What is going on with “Mr 99%”? Could his conscience be begging to be relieved? Speaking of people acting strange what about Cataclysm? Ever since the last attack from Deadly Dale. It has appeared that Cataclysm psyche may have snapped! And you can’t mention snapping without mentions the newest signee to Infamous Inc. Insane Shane who appears happy choking people out and collecting trophies. Also a man not unfamiliar with making bones snap. X-Kaliber has firmly set his sights on the Evolutions champion. Will he finally be the one who stops the momentum of the Mistress of Mayhem? And speaking of momentum Maxx Stone appears to have all of it in the world. In his string of title defenses doing it “All By Himself”. Who will finally end his reign atop the Tag Team ranks? And speaking of being the pinnacle Steve-O reached it. Now who will be the first person to try and knock him off? Could it be the man all champions have to watch their back for El Rey? Call in tonight to discuss all this and more 7 PM CST!

Join us this week on a special night for ASWF Aftermath as we talk everything that happened this past Saturday. In the opening contest Steve-O was able to stop the momentum of Maxx Stone. What’s this mean moving forward for the new champ? And will Maxx Stone be able to bounce back? Also we seen the debut of  Grayson Beckett as he stepped into a fatal four way. Against El Rey, CJ Jenkins, and Cataclysm. Something was definitely “off” with the “Psychotic Savior” in this contest. As he seemed fixated on a  Deadly Dale shirt! And “The Nocturnal Flame” Leo Keegan took on not one but BOTH Venson brothers. And although the brothers put up a heckuva fight. Keegan continued his reign of terror in the ASWF. When we came back from the break we seen “Bad” Brad our next. As Josh Cross and him “Buried” The career of the “Suicide King”. However, one of the druids did not take well to Brad barking orders. And unleashed a monster choke on Josh Cross. And it was revealed that it was indeed Ray Ray under the mask. Finally appearing to one up Mr 99% much to his chargin and he was LIVID. Our next contest WAS scheduled as a one on one between M.C. B-Side and Demike. But just as the introductions began out came “The Infamous One” who proceeded to interject Insane Shane. And of course out then came “The Prominence of Dominance” Mike Anthony. Who has been on the hunt for B-Side for quite some time. So Joey Britt decided that this should be settled in a Tag Team match. Which ended yet again with Demike falling victim to Shane’s Choke. Can anyone stop Shane now that he has the guidance of the Infamous One? Speaking of Tag Team action Josh Cross and X Kaliber teamed up next picking up the victory. Over the debuting EA East and the Evolution Champ Asa Morta. And new number one contenders were crowned. As Will Cage and Curtis Dawn will Challenge Steve-O.

Also after falling victim to the Infamous Choke and “Insane Shane”. DeMike appears to think he has things figured out. Will he be able to turn the tide in time? Or will “Insane” Shane and “The Infamous One” leave him as just another victim? Speaking of victims Deadly Dale and Cataclysm have been trading opportunities to leave each other laying. What’s next for this feud that has been nothing short of explosive? After X Kaliber continued his vicious dissecting of the ankle of Asa Morta. Will Asa Morta be able to turn the tide and get a measure of revenge? And after a very impressive showing against the ASWF champion. What’s next for Maxx Stone?

On May 16, 2001, armed and masked men broke into the apartment shared by Raymundo Cabrera, his wife, Joanna Rodriguez, their newborn son, Ray and Raymundo’s cousin, Rigoberto Cardenas.  The men demanded drugs and money that wasn’t there.  The men bound Raymundo and Rigoberto and covered Raymundo’s eyes with duct tape.  When the men left, they took Joanna and Ray with them.  While Houston Police investigated the home invasion and kidnapping, a neighbor told officers about a strange conversation she’d had the evening before with Linda Carty, a former resident of the complex.  Police contacted Carty, who told an improbable story about lending her vehicles to men she didn’t know.  Carty also told police she knew where the cars might be and led them to both vehicles, which were parked on Van Zandt Street in North Houston.  Ray was found unharmed in a Chevrolet Cavalier owned by Linda Carty’s daughter and Joanna Rodriguez was found in the trunk of a Pontiac Sunfire that had been rented for Carty by her daughter.  In February, 2002, Carty was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.  Carty, who briefly served as an informant for the DEA in the 1990s, claims that she was set up by drug dealers seeking revenge.  We’ll examine the evidence against Carty, her trial and information developed during her post-conviction appeals. We're a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

This past Saturday tensions completely boiled over inside the Valiant Arena. At the beginning of the show Ray finally got to take out all his frustrations on Brad. And now his path back into the ASWF has become clear. He must defeat “The original misfit” in a last man standing match! Also Demike and Shane continued their bad blood and the ringside area could not contain the violence. What is going to happen when these two step inside the ring. In a 2 out of 3 falls match! Maxx and Tyler Knight once again formed a successful unit defeating Grayson Beckett and El Rey. One has to wonder what is going to happen when Maxx steps into his next title defense Dec 15th. Speaking of title defenses we now know that Asa Morta will defend the Evolution Championship against X-Kaliber in a submission match. Leaving the champ at an obvious disadvantage in her defense! And speaking of obvious disadvantages we now know. Dec 15th Steve-O will make his first title defense as undisputed champion. Against Will Cage and Curtis Dawn at the same time! In a triple threat fans bring the weapons encounter! And finally we also found out that Cataclysm will meet Deadly Dale. In a barbed wire mayhem match where you can guarantee there will be blood! And don’t forget always lurking in the shadows and waiting to cash in. “Mr. Golden Ticket” El Rey could cash in at any moment! Join us tonight as we discuss this and so much more.

On July 29, 1985, P.B. was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, beaten and left for dead in woods on the shoreline of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.  A local deputy believed that P.B.’s description of her assailant fit Steven Avery and county law enforcement fixated on him as the perpetrator.  In spite of an alibi and leads pointing to another suspect, Gregory Allen, Avery was arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced for the attempted sexual assault and attempted murder of P.B.  In 2003, after serving 18 years in prison, Avery was exonerated by DNA recovered from a single hair that linked Gregory Allen to P.B.’s 1985 attack.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central, for an interview with Michael Griesbach, a former Manitowoc County prosecutor and author of two books about the Steven Avery case: The Innocent Killer: A True Story of a Wrongful Conviction and its Astonishing Aftermath; and, Indefensible: The Missing Truth about Steven Avery, Teresa Halbach, and “Making a Murderer.” He’s now engaged in the private practice of law, primarily criminal defense.   

On November 3, 2005, Teresa Halbach, a 25-year old photographer from Calumet County, Wisconsin was reported missing by her mother.  The last time anyone saw or heard from her was on Monday, October 31.  Her last appointment on that date was booked by Steven Avery, who used the name “B. Janda” to photograph a van located at Avery Auto Salvage in Manitowoc County.  On  November 5, Teresa’s Toyota RAV-4 was found hidden on the Avery property by civilians who were searching the salvage yard with permission from Earl Avery.  A .22 rifle was seized from Avery’s trailer on November 6 and a burned Motorola cell phone and burned Canon camera were found in a burn barrel near Avery’s trailer on November 7.  On November 8, 2005, a Toyota key was found in the bedroom of Avery’s trailer.  The license plate for Teresa’s vehicle was found later inside a car on the Avery property.  In February, 2006, an Avery cousin reported that 16-year old Brendan Dassey had been acting out, crying a lot and losing weight.  During questioning on March 1, 2006, Dassey admitted to his involvement in Teresa’s murder and provided information that led to the discovery of a .22 bullet with Teresa’s DNA in Avery’s garage and Avery’s epithelial DNA on the hood latch of Teresa’s vehicle.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on December 18, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central for an interview with Kenneth Kratz, the former Calumet County prosecutor who tried Avery and Dassey and the author of Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What “Making a Murderer” Gets Wrong.   We’ll discuss the evidence linking Avery and Dassey to the murder of Teresa Halbach and the backlash from the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.  

When we left you at "Christmas with the Claus" Steve-O had just retained his ASWF Championship over Will Cage and Curtis Dawn. Who will be the next person to put thier name in line to face the most resilent ASWF Champion in history? And what is next for the challengers in that fans bring the weapons match for that matter? Speaking of what's next we will have the first in depth interview with "Bad" Brad since being forced to walk away from the ASWF! That was of course because the "Suicide King" was able to defeat the "Original Misfit" Josh Cross in the Last Man Standing Match. Speaking of the "Suicide King" his joy did not last very long as moments after being victorious. The "Infamous Choke Out Artist" "Insane" Shane launched a sneak attack on Ray and left him unconcious in the center of the ring. Both gentlemen are scheduled to be in the building this Saturday you have to assume security will be at an all time high! Tyler Knight were able to defeat the "Titans of Violence" Keegan and Heinzman and the Venson Brothers. But of course if you listen to "The Greatest Gem Known To Man" he once again did it all by himself. Of course you have to give the assist to his partner but also the aformentioned "Titans of Violence". Because after they were defeated they returned to the ring and cost the Venson's their best shot at the belts! We now have a NEW ASWF Evolution champion after X-Kaliber was able to defeat "The Mistress of Mayhem" Asa Morta. Morta put a respectable fight but in the end her body just could not take the pain any longer . In the most brutal match of 2018 Cataclysm finally destroyed Deadly Dale in the Barbed Wire Mayhem Match. And in what has to be the match of the year for 2018 D-Mike was FINALLY able to defeat Insane Shane. After a short break ASWF Aftermath is back and LIVE on Talk Radio 49 and the ASWF Facebook Page! 

On December 23, 1991, a fire broke out in the home shared by Todd and Stacey Willingham with their three daughters, Amber, 2 and twins Karmon and Kameron, 1.   Willingham was at home alone with the girls at the time of the fire and he was the only one to escape it.  Willingham’s callous behavior and his inconsistent statements to family, friends and investigators caused suspicion.  Those suspicions were confirmed when investigators ruled out electrical or gas problems in the house and found no evidence of an accidental cause.  Testing of the threshhold of  between front door and porch found traces of charcoal lighter fluid, which is an accelerant.  Other indicators of arson were observed, including pour patterns in the floor of the twin’s bedroom and in the hallway leading to the front door.   Willingham was convicted and sentenced to death in August, 1992.  After unsuccessful direct appeal, state post-conviction and federal habeas corpus proceedings, including writs to the U.S. Supreme Court that were declined by the Court, Willingham’s execution date was set for February 17, 2004.  Two weeks before the execution date, materials were sent to Dr. Gerald Hurst, a chemist and arson expert.  Dr. Hurst issued a report ruling out arson and criticizing the original investigation.  This claim, too, was unsuccessful and Willingham’s execution went forward.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the evidence against Willingham, his direct appeal and post-conviction claims and the continued efforts by his family, with the help of the Innocence Project, to exonerate him.

We are well on our journey to Anniversary XX inside the Valiant Arena. And it appears that everyone is gunning for each other! DeMike and Josh Cross are locked in the middle of a intense battle. And if either man has it his way the other won’t make it to April! Speaking of not making it Ray and Shane continue to send messages to each other. But it appears Ray fired the loudest shot this past Saturday. Showing off a new and improved submission and striking game! And with submissions being the topic how about Asa Morta sending a strong message at X-Kaliber. One just has to wonder when not if she will invoke her rematch clause. On the topic of new champions how about “Taco Hell” El Rey and Cataclysm? They have been impressive but it appears the Venson Brothers May be their kryptonite. As they etched their name in the #1 contenders spot last Saturday. Will they finally break through? And breaking through has been nothing new for “The Main Event” Curtis Dawn. He’s done it every show since he debuted. But the one ceiling he hasn’t been able to break is that of the ASWF champion. With these two seemingly destined to collide one has to wonder. Is it time for the “Main Event” to become the Main Event?

On February 4, 1983, Wanda Vargas Lopez was working as a cashier on the 3-10 p.m. shift at the Sigmor Service Station on South Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi, Texas.  A little after 8:00 p.m., a customer entered the store and warned Wanda that there was a man in the parking lot with a knife.  Wanda called the emergency line for the Corpus Christi Police Department to summon help and was on the phone with a dispatcher when the suspect came into the store.  A second customer saw the struggle going on inside and moved to intervene.  He came face-to-face with the suspect, who fled.  Within 20-30 minutes, law enforcement officers found Carlos Deluna hiding under a truck in the nearby neighborhood.  Deluna claimed that another man, Carlos Hernandez, committed the robbery and murder, but he refused to provide any information to police or his attorneys.  Deluna was executed on December 7, 1989.  In 2003, Professor James Liebman sent investigators to Corpus Christi to interview various people and gather records, which he shared with the Chicago Tribune in 2006.  In 2012, Professor Liebman published “Los Tocayo Carlos” in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review, which concluded that the crime for which Deluna was executed was committed by Carlos Hernandez, a man who was 8 years older than Deluna, with a reputation for carrying a knife and a history of violence against women in his life.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the evidence against Deluna, his direct appeal and post-conviction claims and his execution.  We’ll also talk about Professor Liebman’s study and the basis for his conclusion that Deluna’s conviction resulted from a case of mistaken identity.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

After a short relationship plagued by domestic violence, Dennise Hayslip ended her affair with Charles Victor Thompson.  Thompson refused to accept Dennise’s decision and, in the early morning hours of April 30, 1998, Darren Cain went to Dennise’s apartment to help her deal with Thompson, who was still abusing her.  Thompson and Cain fought and, when a Houston Police officer arrived at 3:00 a.m., he found Thompson with a black eye.  Since no one wanted to press charges, the officer escorted Thompson from the property and warned him not to return.  At around 6:00 a.m., Thompson returned with a gun.   After the shooting, Thompson fled to a friend’s house, where he admitted to returning to Dennise’s with a gun, kicking in the door and shooting Darren and Denise.  After turning himself in, Thompson attempted to get his friend to change her statement, which she refused to do.  While being held in the Harris County jail awaiting trial, Thompson attempted to arrange his friend’s murder by former cellmates who were being released.  In August of 1998, he was charged with solicitation of capital murder.    At trial, Thompson claimed that Dennise’s death was caused my medical malpractice.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the evidence against Charles Victor Thompson, his direct appeal, re-sentencing trial, escape from custody in Harris County, additional appeal and post-conviction claims, in which he challenges his capital murder based on the claim that Dennise died as a result of medical malpractice.

In August of 1969, Charles Manson’s plan to start a race war that would leave him in charge of the world began with the murders of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski and Steve Parent.  The following night, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their home in furtherance of Manson’s plan for world domination.  In late August or early September, 1969, Manson and two followers murdered Donald “Shorty” Shea, a ranch hand at Spahn Ranch because Manson believed Shea had reported the Family to police, resulting in a raid at Spahn Ranch on August 16, 1969.  Most of the Family members were released due to an error on the warrant.  The Family then relocated to Barker Ranch in Death Valley, where they were arrested in October, 1969 after Manson set fire to a county earth mover.  Manson is also believed to be behind the murders of Marina Elizabeth Habe and attorney Ronald Hughes.  Tonight, in Part 1, we’ll talk about the victims, the Manson Family members involved in the murders and the investigation of the Tate/LaBianca murders, leading up to the jailhouse statement that solved the case.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

Will compete in an Ultimate X match at the Anniversary Show. To crown the NEW Evolution Champion. Another area of interest heading into the show will be the Tag Team championships. At the last show the Vensons received a shot. But right when they had the match well in hand. The Titans of Violence collected their titles and walked to the back! And things appear to be reaching their ultimate boiling point between  El Rey and Cataclysm. One has to wonder what that means for April 6th. The road is becoming shorter and the action is picking up. Join us for all this and more tonight on ASWF Aftermath on TalkRadio49 and the ASWF Wrestling Facebook page!

Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, for Part 2 of Clear & Convincing’s four part series on State of California v. Charles Manson.  In August of 1969, Charles Manson’s plan to start a race war that would leave him in charge of the world began with the murders of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski and Steve Parent.  The following night, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their home in furtherance of Manson’s plan for world domination.  In late August or early September, 1969, Manson and two followers murdered Donald “Shorty” Shea, a ranch hand at Spahn Ranch, whom Manson believed had reported the Family to police, which resulted in a raid at Spahn Ranch on August 16, 1969.  Most of the Family members were released the following day due to an error on the warrant.  The Family then relocated to Barker Ranch in Death Valley, where they were arrested in October, 1969 after Manson set fire to a county earth mover.  Manson is also believed to be behind several additional murders, including those of Marina Elizabeth Habe and attorney Ronald Hughes.  Tonight, in Part 2, we’ll talk about some of the Family members who did not take part in the Tate/LaBianca murders.  We’ll then move on to the murder of Gary Hinman, the murders at 10050 Cielo Drive, the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca and some of the other deaths that occurred before and after August, 1969 in which Manson is a suspect. We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
