A father is on trial over the death of 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz. Prosecutors say Timothy Hauschultz created the punishment that required Ethan to carry a 44.4-pound log and then left his 14-year-old son Damian in charge. Damian later admitted hitting and kicking Ethan and covering him with snow. He pleaded guilty to reckless homicide. Now the jury has to decide whether Timothy can also be held criminally responsible. Also today: Nick Reiner is back in court as both sides fight to keep grand jury transcripts sealed. Idaho prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Andrea Shaw in the deaths of her 18-month-old twin sons. A Florida police officer is accused of using information from a welfare check to take over a dead man's house. A Virginia husband allegedly tapes his wife to a chair and leaves her in the basement. And new developments in the Cornell 7 case put more pressure on Cornell University's leadership. Plus Legal History, the Legal Quote of the Day, and today's Dumb Criminal.

More than three decades after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, newly revealed records are raising questions about the missing murder weapon and whether someone may have helped O.J. Simpson dispose of evidence. Scott Reisch breaks down what the records actually show and the credibility questions surrounding the allegations.

New questions are surrounding the Cornell 7 controversy after recordings reportedly captured a longtime fraternity adviser claiming he had connections inside Cornell University Police and could call in "favors." The recordings involve a different Cornell fraternity and do not establish that police protected the men accused in the Cornell 7 lawsuit, but they arrive while Cornell's handling of sexual misconduct allegations is already under intense scrutiny. Also on today's Crime Talk: • D4vd returns to court in the Celeste Rivas murder case • Christa Pike's attorneys seek additional time following Tennessee's failed execution attempt • Sean "Diddy" Combs is transferred to another federal prison • FBI testimony continues in the Sandra Birchmore murder trial • A Missouri fence dispute allegedly ends with a "3, 2, 1" countdown and gunfire • Dumb Criminal: 30–40 beers and a stolen Las Vegas flamingo   All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

BREAKING UPDATE: The David Prevatte murder trial has ended in a mistrial after allegations of juror misconduct disrupted deliberations. The day began with the judge investigating Juror Number Three over claims that she brought outside information into the jury room. She was ultimately removed, but as questioning of the remaining panel continued, additional concerns surfaced about information being discussed that had never been introduced as evidence. The judge ultimately determined the case could not continue with the jury and declared a mistrial. We added the breaking development to today's show after our original recording. Also today on Crime Talk: • Bryan Kohberger continues his attempt to undo the guilty plea that sent him to prison for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. • Lindsay Clancy's lone holdout juror, Michael Desronvil, breaks his silence and explains why he refused to join the other 11 jurors. • Nearly 15 years after Michelle Parker disappeared, her former fiancé Dale Smith Jr. has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. • The Cornell Jane Doe is reportedly being targeted in multiple swatting attacks. • The planned livestream of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan's execution has been canceled. • Plus Legal History, the Legal Quote of the Day and a Dumb Criminal who escaped through a window — but left police his driver's license.

But another controversy is developing around plans to potentially livestream the military execution, with growing political, legal and international opposition.

New developments in three major cases on today's Crime Talk. A judge has rejected Lindsay Clancy's latest attempt to obtain a required finding of not guilty following the mistrial, keeping the criminal case against her alive as questions continue over whether prosecutors will pursue a second trial. In Tennessee, Christa Pike remains in critical condition following the state's unsuccessful attempt to carry out her execution. The incident has now triggered an investigation, a temporary halt to executions in Tennessee and a major new legal question: could the state eventually try again? Caleb Flynn was also back in court following his guilty verdict as he prepares for sentencing Monday. We break down what happened at the latest hearing, what penalties he could face and what comes next with his expected appeal. 🛍️ CRIME TALK SHOP & PARTNERS Crime Talk Store: https://crimetalknetwork.com/shop/ Run a Background Check: https://crimetalksearch.com Emergency Food Supply: https://www.rqzttm8trk.com/3Z38RPR/S5HJNJ/ Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/crimetalk 🛡️ OFFICIAL DISCOUNT CODES Police Magnum — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Invisawear Jewelry — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Baked in Colorado — 40% off Pet CBD: https://bakedincolorado.com 🤝 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Patreon (exclusive content): https://www.patreon.com/crimetalk Official site: https://scottreisch.com X (Twitter): @CrimeTalkPod Instagram / TikTok: @CrimeTalkWithScottReisch Miss Winnie (IG/TikTok): @MissWinnieTheBulldog LEGAL VAULT Fair Use: Clips may be used for commentary, criticism, and educational purposes (see Hosseinzadeh v.

Christa Pike survived Tennessee's attempt to execute her by lethal injection after receiving both doses authorized under the state's execution protocol. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was scheduled to be executed for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer. But after the state administered pentobarbital twice, Pike remained alive and was eventually transported to a hospital. Governor Bill Lee has now halted Tennessee's remaining executions for 2026 and ordered an independent review into what went wrong. The case raises a major legal question: Can Tennessee attempt to execute Christa Pike again, or would another attempt violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment? Scott Reisch breaks down what happened inside the execution chamber, what Tennessee's protocol allows, and what could happen next. 🛍️ CRIME TALK SHOP & PARTNERS Crime Talk Store: https://crimetalknetwork.com/shop/ Run a Background Check: https://crimetalksearch.com Emergency Food Supply: https://www.rqzttm8trk.com/3Z38RPR/S5HJNJ/ Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/crimetalk 🛡️ OFFICIAL DISCOUNT CODES Police Magnum — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Invisawear Jewelry — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Baked in Colorado — 40% off Pet CBD: https://bakedincolorado.com 🤝 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Patreon (exclusive content): https://www.patreon.com/crimetalk Official site: https://scottreisch.com X (Twitter): @CrimeTalkPod Instagram / TikTok: @CrimeTalkWithScottReisch Miss Winnie (IG/TikTok): @MissWinnieTheBulldog LEGAL VAULT Fair Use: Clips may be used for commentary, criticism, and educational purposes (see Hosseinzadeh v.

A major development in the Lindsay Clancy case. During today's hearing, defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that prosecutors failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy actually killed her three children — a significant new approach following the mistrial earlier this month. Judge William Sullivan did not rule on the defense's request for a required finding of not guilty, while other major issues — including double jeopardy, the controversy surrounding the holdout juror and the prosecution's request for a gag order — remain unresolved. The next major hearing is scheduled for November 2. #LindsayClancy #CrimeTalk #TrueCrime 🛍️ CRIME TALK SHOP & PARTNERS Crime Talk Store: https://crimetalknetwork.com/shop/ Run a Background Check: https://crimetalksearch.com Emergency Food Supply: https://www.rqzttm8trk.com/3Z38RPR/S5HJNJ/ Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/crimetalk 🛡️ OFFICIAL DISCOUNT CODES Police Magnum — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Invisawear Jewelry — use code CRIMETALK for 10% off Baked in Colorado — 40% off Pet CBD: https://bakedincolorado.com 🤝 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Patreon (exclusive content): https://www.patreon.com/crimetalk Official site: https://scottreisch.com X (Twitter): @CrimeTalkPod Instagram / TikTok: @CrimeTalkWithScottReisch Miss Winnie (IG/TikTok): @MissWinnieTheBulldog LEGAL VAULT Fair Use: Clips may be used for commentary, criticism, and educational purposes (see Hosseinzadeh v.
