A bond hearing for an OnlyFans model accused of murdering her boyfriend took an unexpected turn when her defense introduced a video of knives being thrown at a pig carcass to prove their case.

Courtney Clenney is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli. Obumseli was stabbed to death in the couples shared Miami apartment, but Clenney has claimed she acted in self-defense when she killed him. Clenney told investigators that she never meant to stab the victim and, in fact, had actually thrown the knife at him.

Clenney has been in the Miami-Dade County jail since her arrest on Aug. 10, 2022, and at a hearing on Friday, her attorneys asked Judge Laura Cruz to release her ahead of her trial, which has not yet been scheduled.

Clenneys attorneys introduced Dr. John Marraccini as their expert witness, who testified that his testing determined that it was plausible and even likely that Clenney had thrown the knife that killed Obumseli. To test the theory, Clenneys defense arranged for knives to be thrown at a pig carcass. Marraccini explained to the Court that the pigs skin and tissue behave much like a humans.

A video entered into evidence by the defense showed a man repeatedly throwing knives at the carcass, hung against a wall. Several of the knives could be seen successfully impaling the body. Dr. Marraccini then appeared on the video to examine the wounds, which he declared were similar to those suffered by Obumseli.

Prosecutors highlighted the flaws of the demonstration, specifically the differences in size and body type between Clenney, a petite woman, and the man seen throwing knives in the video, who is larger. They also noted that Marraccini never examined the actual murder weapon or indicated how sharp it was in comparison to the knives used in the experiment.

When prosecutors questioned whether the experiment matched Clenneys story about throwing the knife, her attorneys said that bodyworn camera from the day of the incident matched the information they used to map out the knife-throwing setup. Because that bodyworn camera video was not yet introduced into evidence, the judge deferred ruling on the motion until she could review it.

Prosecutors urged the judge to deny the request, saying that Clenney represents a danger to herself and everyone else around her whenever she doesnt get her way.

A tentative May 2025 trial date was set Thursday in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial in New York with more possible charges on the horizon, according to government prosecutors.

Combs faces a possible life sentence if convicted of charges stemming from allegations that he used his power and influence to force women into participating in drug-fueled orgies known as "freak-offs" that he recorded for blackmail purposes. Combs has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial in a federal detention center in Brooklyn after two judges denied his request for bond.

The embattled hop-hop mogul returned to Manhattan federal court Thursday with three new members of his defense team for his first status hearing before a new judge in the case, U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian. Wearing a beige two-piece jail uniform, Combs smiled broadly and waved at his family as he entered the courtroom and saw six of his children, his mother and their supporters filling two benches in the gallery.

The hearing focused on the status of discovery, trial and hearing dates and a new defense motion accusing the government of leaking information "to raise public hostility" against Combs ahead of trial. The most "egregious" example, according to the defense motion, is the explosive hotel video of Combs assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that CNN published in 2023. The motion accuses the Department of Homeland Security of leaking not only the video but grand jury testimony and tipping off news crews to searches of Combs homes. In an email to the defense that was filed with the court, prosecutors said DHS "did not have possession" of the hotel video before CNN released it.

"The government believes the motion is baseless and is simply a means to exclude a damning piece of evidence disguised in press statements," Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Johnson told the judge in Thursday's hearing, referring to the hotel video.

The motion requests a hearing to determine the source of alleged leaks and an order prohibiting the government from releasing more information. The government is working on a response to the motion, Johnson said. In the meantime, the parties agreed to a gag order barring both sides from discussing in the media non-public information, or information that doesnt come up in the courtroom or through court filings.

Separately, the government raised concerns about defense lawyer Marc Agnifilos interview in a TMZ documentary in which he called the case a racist prosecution trying to take down a successful Black man. Prosecutor Johnson argued such statements about the merits of a prosecution could threaten the integrity of the proceedings and Combs fair trial rights in violation of local administrative rules. Agnifilo did not directly address the critique but said he was willing to affirm his obligations under the local rule, especially now that a gag order is in place.

Most of the hearing consisted of prosecutor Johnson sharing the governments progress in turning over evidence to the defense. Johnson said the government was working diligently to extract data from 96 electronic devices that were seized in searches of Combs properties in Miami and Los Angeles on March 25, 2024, and of Combs himself at a private airport in Florida, including:

Airport: Nine devices seized, data from seven extracted so far Miami property: 36 devices seized, data from eight devices extracted (totaling 90 terabytes) Los Angeles property: 51 devices seized, data from 27 extracted so far

The prosecutor said a handful of variables were hindering the governments efforts:

Current technology doesnt let the government extract data from newer devices, which are more sophisticated than the governments decryption tools The governments current forensic tools dont support old technology They have to repair some of the devices that are damaged, prohibiting extraction

Disclosure will continue on a rolling basis, Johnson said, with the goal of sharing everything with the defense by the judges proposed deadline of December 31, 2024.

Also on Thursday, the parties agreed to a tentative trial date of May 5, 2025, to meet Combs demand for a speedy trial. But the governments investigation continues, Johnson told the court, and it may bring a superseding indictment with more or amended charges that could push back the proposed date.

Convicted murderer Scott Peterson has been granted post-conviction discovery in the latest series of events in his bid for a new trial.

In a filing dated Oct. 7 and obtained by Court TV, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Hill addressed more than 600 pieces of evidence that Peterson's defense had requested access to.

Peterson was sentenced to death for the 2002 murders of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son. In 2021, he was resentenced to life in prison without parole. The following year, he was denied a new trial on allegations of juror misconduct.

Petersons defense, in their attempt to convince a judge he deserves a new trial, had asked for a number of items related to a burglary at the home of Rudy and Susan Medina, who lived diagonally across from the Petersons. Two men tied to the burglary, Steven Todd and Donald Pearce, were cleared as suspects in Lacis disappearance.

RELATED STORY | Convicted murderer Scott Peterson granted new hearing

Judge Hill denied Petersons request for all Modesto police reports, the steps officers took to verify Pearce and Todds alibis and more information about their polygraph exams. But Judge Hill granted Petersons team access to audio and video recordings, as well as transcripts of the suspects interviews with police and handwritten notes from the officers who conducted the interviews. Petersons team will also be able to review the 2003 search warrants relating to the Medina burglary as well as photos of the evidence found, which includes items identified as not belonging to the Medinas.

Petersons team has also focused on Lacis diamond-encrusted Croton watch. Carl Jensen, a defense investigator, told the court that he was contacted by a man who said he was in jail watching TV and saw a Court TV report about the pawn of a watch that might have been Lacis. Upon seeing the story, he recalled that in mid-February 2003, a friend named Deanna Harbin Renfro and her friend Anthony Scarlata asked him if he wanted to buy a watch. He described the watch that they showed him as medium-sized with a lot of diamonds.

But investigators tracked down those leads years ago and determined that the watch was not the same, prompting the judge to deny any further access to records in the case.

Peterson and his team had previously asked to be allowed to perform DNA testing on a blood-stained mattress found in a burned-out orange van less than a mile from the Petersons home the day after Laci was reported missing. Hill previously denied their request and noted in her latest ruling, The Court does not view the orange van evidence as casting doubt on Petersons guilt, because no witness or forensic evidence obtained ever established that Laci Peterson was in the orange van. However, it is apparent based on the involvement of Detective Shipley and the cross-referencing of the investigation of the two cases that the orange van was part of the investigation of the offenses charged.'

RELATED STORY | Deadline set for DNA testing of duct tape in convicted murderer Scott Peterson's case

That reasoning led Judge Hill to grant Petersons team access to a complete copy of the DOJ Central Valley Crime Laboratory file and documents relating to the collection of fingerprints from the van.

In July, Judge Hill issued an order that outlined how DNA testing on a piece of duct tape recovered from Laci Petersons pants at the time of her autopsy would proceed. Judge Hill ordered that testing would be conducted within 45 days and the results would be submitted under seal.

Court filings suggest that testing was completed in late August. There has been no further public notice of the testing and results.

In January, the Los Angeles Innocence Project took over his case and began another bid for a new trial based on critical pieces of evidence allegedly overlooked by investigators. Among those items was a 15.5-inch piece of duct tape found on Laci Petersons pants.

In August, Peterson spoke out for the first time in two decades in Peacocks three-part docuseries, "Face to Face with Scott Peterson." In the series, he maintained his innocence.

Garth Brooks has publicly named his rape accuser in a countersuit, demanding she pay him damages for emotional distress and defamation.

In papers filed Tuesday, lawyers for Brooks' alleged victim condemn the country megastar for revealing her name, as she had filed papers anonymously as a "Jane Roe" when she accused him of raping her. The accuser had previously worked as a hair and makeup artist for Brooks and his wife, fellow country singer Trisha Yearwood.

Brooks actually sued Roe first last month in Mississippi federal court under the name John Doe. He opted to sue Roe for extortion and defamation because she had allegedly threatened him back in July, vowing to publicly sue him if he didnt pay her millions of dollars.

Brooks' "John Doe vs. Jane Roe" suit simply refers to him as "a celebrity and public figure who resides in Tennessee." Roe lives in Mississippi, which is why he filed suit there.

Roe's initial threats didnt come to Brooks in a lawsuit. Instead, they were made in the form of a confidential letter written by Roes attorney dated July 17, 2024. Brooks said the letter was the first time he learned of the allegations against him, which included accusations of sexual grooming, creating a sexually hostile work environment, unwanted sexual touching and sexual assault.

Roe also noted that she believed Brooks was going to hire someone to kill her.

RELATED STORY | Garth Brooks responds to rape allegations from hair-and-makeup artist

Roe sent a follow-up letter through her attorney dated August 23, 2024, stating that she would refrain from publicly suing Brooks in exchange for a multi-million dollar payout.

Brooks responded to that follow-up letter with his lawsuit, and Roe responded by filing her own suit against Brooks, accusing him of raping her in a Los Angeles hotel room in October 2019. According to the lawsuit, Brooks had booked a single hotel suite for them to share. She said he appeared naked in a doorway of the suite, raped her and then went on with business as usual, expecting her to provide hair and makeup services.

Roes suit also alleges that Brooks appeared naked in front of her earlier that year, grabbed her hands and placed them on his genitals. She claims Brooks exposed himself to her multiple times, spoke about sexual fantasies and sent her explicit text messages. Those texts have been entered into evidence as well.

Brooks has vehemently denied the accusations against him. According to Brooks latest filings, Roe worked for him as an independent contractor out of Tennessee for about 15 years before relocating to Mississippi.

Soon after moving to Mississippi in 2020, Brooks alleges she asked him for financial assistance, and he helped her out of loyalty and friendship. However, he says her demands increased, and she eventually wanted a salary with medical benefits. According to Brooks, she only made those outrageous accusations of sexual misconduct after he turned down her salary request.

Scripps News and Court TV are not naming Roe because we do not name individuals who claim to be victims of sexual assault unless they reveal themselves publicly.

Choked sobs were the only sound in court as a silent video showed the moment a Kentucky judge was shot and killed in his chambers at the courthouse.

Shawn Stines, who resigned from his position as sheriff of Letcher County on Monday, is charged with the first-degree murder of Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins. Stines has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Kentucky State Police Detective Clayton Stamper was the first witness to take the stand at Tuesdays probable cause hearing and testified to video that showed the deadly shooting. The silent video is only a few seconds long but appears to show Stines come into Mullins chambers with a gun in his outstretched arm. The judge leaps from his chair onto the ground, and Stines appears to chase him around the desk, firing multiple times. Before leaving the room, Stines appears to walk over and fire another shot beneath the desk where the judge has been trying to hide.

As the video ended, loud sobs were audible from the courtrooms gallery, where the family of both the defendant and the victim were seated watching the hearing.

Stamper testified that during a discussion not seen on video between Stines and Mullins, Stines had attempted to call his daughter using the judges phone. While doing so, Stines allegedly found his daughters number already in the phone. While no further information about a possible motive was offered, Stamper said that Stines told a different officer when he was taken into custody, Theyre trying to kidnap my wife and kid.

Judge Rupert Wilhoit found probable cause to bind the case over for a grand jury. Prosecutors have not said whether they will be seeking the death penalty for Stines.

Accused quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger was transported to the Ada County Jail Sunday morning, according to jail records.

Kohberger was transferred from Latah County after a Sept. 12 ruling reassigned his case to Judge Steven Hippler in Ada County.

The case was reassigned after Judge John Judge granted the defenses motion to move his trial from Latah County.

Ada County is where Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell stood trial after their cases were moved from Fremont County.

Kohberger is charged with the brutal murders of Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves at their rental home near the University of Idaho. Six weeks after they were stabbed to death, Kohberger was arrested at his parents home in Pennsylvania. His trial is currently scheduled for June 2025.

Authorities told Scripps News Boise that Kohberger will be housed by himself due to safety within the facility for both inmates and employees.

Kohberger's length of stay says temporary, because hes being held for court and because ACSO did not make the arrest or bring forth the charges. Captain Ryan Jensen released the following statement:

Several factors were considered in planning and preparing for Bryan Kohbergers move to the Ada County jail. First and foremost, was wanting to do it in the safest and most efficient way. Thanks to a wonderful partnership with the Idaho State Police, we were able to use their aircraft because it just simply made the most sense given the distance of travel and complications that may have come up using ground transportation.

In what looked like a scene out of a movie, two jurors are credited with helping to capture a man who tried to flee from a Maine courthouse following his conviction.

Nicholas Carter, 31, was convicted of aggravated assault against a 14-month-old child on Wednesday at the Somerset County Courthouse following a three-day trial, the Waterville Morning Sentinel reported.

Carter had been out on a bond during the trial, but immediately following the verdict the judge ordered him to be taken into custody. Handcuffed, Carter then jumped the bar and ran out the rear doors of the second-story courtroom. According to the Waterville Morning Sentinel, a detective from the sheriffs office and judicial marshals gave chase as Carter ran down the stairs and out onto the street.

Carter now faces an additional charge of escape. His sentencing will be held at a later date.

The defense of University of Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger is seeking to have the death penalty thrown out in his case.

On Thursday, Kohbergers defense filed over a dozen motions seeking to strike aggravating factors, and the death penalty itself.

The documents also claim the means by which the death penalty is carried out in Idaho are unconstitutional, saying, "executing Mr. Kohberger by means of lethal injection or a gunshot as conceived of by the Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC) would violate his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment and his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution."

Other documents claim Idaho's death penalty violates international law and human rights, and that "there has been an ideological shift (in the United States) and that the punishment now violates our contemporary stands of decency."

Kohberger's defense also claims "Idaho's statutory and constitutional guarantee to a speedy trial prevents effective assistance of counsel in death penalty cases," and "a capital case cannot be prepared in 10 months."

Kohberger is charged with the brutal murders of Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves at their rental home near the University of Idaho. Six weeks after they were stabbed to death, Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania.

The Idaho home of "Doomsday Prophet" Chad Daybell has been sold to a nonprofit, according to property records reviewed by Court TV.

The Fremont County property is where the bodies of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow were discovered in June 2021, nine months after they were last seen alive. It's also where Chad's first wife, Tammy Daybell, was killed in Oct. 2019.

Chad and his second wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, have since been convicted of multiple charges in the three deaths. Chad was sentenced to death, while Lori was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Ahead of Chad's trial, ownership of the property was transferred to defense attorney John Prior through a quitclaim deed. A witness at Chad's trial also revealed the transaction in court.

Following Chad's conviction, the property was listed for sale in June, and a local nonprofit SJ Healing Crossroads Inc. purchased it for $350,000, according to property records.

The organization was started by a local couple who wish to remain anonymous, reported KSL-TV. They're currently raising funds to demolish the home and other structures and said they were worried Chad's home would "be exploited as a macabre tourist attraction."

"We feel compassion for the families and the community, and we didn't want to see it purchased by someone whose intentions were inappropriate," the couple told KSL-TV. "There were rumors about how someone wanted to buy it and turn it into an Airbnb and we just couldn't let that happen."

A statement on their website reads: "SJ Healing Crossroads provides community help and support for those affected by traumatic experience or loss. We recently purchased the property formally owned by Chad Daybell in Rexburg, Idaho... The funds donated will be used to remove the house and outbuildings. This will be a start in changing the property into a positive place where such a tragedy occurred."

What happens to sites of such tragedies typically garners public interest. In December, the home where four University of Idaho students were murdered was demolished. The suspect in their murders, Bryan Kohberger, is expected to face trial next year.

In June, a three-story building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, was also demolished. It was the site of the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history.

And since Alex Murdaugh's conviction, the Moselle property where he murdered his wife and youngest son has exchanged hands multiple times.

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Artem Chigvintsev was arrested Thursday on allegations of domestic violence in Napa County, California, according to jail records reviewed by Court TV.

Chigvintsev, 42, was booked into the Napa County Jail on a felony charge of corporal injury to spouse. He was released approximately four hours later on a $25,000 bail.

Chigvintsev is married to former WWE and "Total Divas" star Nikki Garcia, also known as Nikki Bella. The couple tied the knot in 2022. Garcia is also known for her reality show "Total Bellas," in which she starred with her twin sister, Brie Bella.

Chigvintsev's arrest came two days after the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary, which they marked in an Instagram post. The couple reportedly met in 2017 when they were paired together on "Dancing with the Stars." They share one child together.

It's unclear if Garcia was involved in the incident. TMZ, who first reported Chigvintsev's arrest, says the alleged victim has asked for confidentiality.

On Thursday, a public relations and media officer for the Napa County DA's office told CNN that charges haven't been filed against Chigvintsev because the case has not yet been forwarded to the DA for review.

The family of Boston police officer John OKeefe has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Karen Read, days after a judge refused to dismiss charges against her.

The Aug. 26 filing obtained by Court TV lists Karen Read, Waterfall Bar & Grille and C.F. McCarthys as defendants, and demands a trial by jury.

The lawsuit details Reads actions the night of OKeefes death, including that C.F. McCarthys served her seven drinks and allowed her to leave the establishment with an alcoholic beverage. From there, it claims Waterfall Bar & Grille served Read even though she showed signs of intoxication.

RELATED STORY | Judge declines to dismiss murder case against Karen Read after July mistrial

The filing also accuses Read of knowingly hitting OKeefe with her SUV and leaving him to die. It also details Reads actions on Jan. 29, including that she went to the grieving house of [OKeefes family], feigned comfort to [OKeefes family], and used the opportunity to, amongst other things, remove the offending weapon, her vehicle, and/or destroy relevant evidence.

The plaintiffs, including OKeefes niece, claim the restaurants and Read inflicted emotional distress by causing OKeefes death.

In July, Judge Beverly Cannone declared a mistrial in the case against Read after the jury insisted they couldnt reach a unanimous verdict. Read was charged with second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter while driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a collision causing injury or death.

In the weeks following, the defense filed multiple motions claiming they were contacted by jurors who insisted they had agreed to unanimously find Read not guilty of murder and leaving the scene of a deadly crash. Even the prosecution filed a notice with the court saying that people presenting themselves as jurors had told them the same thing.

Following a hearing earlier this month, Cannone refused to dismiss charges against Read, setting the case to move forward for a retrial in January.

A new filing from Bryan Kohbergers defense team warns that potential jurors predicted violence in the streets if the alleged killer is acquitted at trial.

Kohberger is charged with the brutal murders of Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves at their home near the University of Idaho. Six weeks after the students were stabbed to death, Kohberger was arrested.

Kohbergers defense team has been fighting to move the trial, currently scheduled to begin in June 2025 in Latah County. The defense team conducted a phone survey of hundreds of potential jurors, asking them many questions about their knowledge of the case.

In response, prosecutors argued that the murders were so high-profile and that media coverage was so pervasive and wide-ranging that moving the trial would not likely yield jurors who are unfamiliar with the case.

RELATED STORY | Judge declines to dismiss murder case against Karen Read after July mistrial

Kohbergers defense filed a response, arguing that during its survey, Latah County residents acknowledged their own bias in their answers to a question posed about what would happen if the defendant was not convicted.

Theyd burn the courthouse down. Outrage would be a mild description.

They would probably find him and kill him.

There would likely be a riot and he wouldnt last long outside because someone would do the good ole boy justice.

Riots, parents would take care of him.

By comparison, prospective jurors surveyed in Ada County offered very different responses to the same question.

They would go on with life as always.

I think they would take it well.

I dont know if there would be super strong feelings.

The defense filing also points to two recent cases, Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, who had their trials moved from Fremont County to Ada County because of publicity.

The motion is scheduled to be argued at a hearing on Aug. 29.
