A judge ruled that Oscar winning actress Halle Berry will remain without primary custody of her 13-year-old son, Maceo. The judgement comes after a nearly two week hearing that included six hours of testimony by Maceo. The judge did, however dismiss Martinez’s request for a domestic violence restraining order against Berry after he accused her of physically abusing their son in September. Berry’s daughter, 18-year-old Nahla Aubry defended her mother, accusing Martinez of being on "quest to destroy my mom" and said she is "heartbroken" to see Maceo "become the subject of a public dispute that he may not fully understand."

Alaska's governor has ordered an investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola’s involvement in a seemingly deceptive campaign trick to confuse voters on the ballot.

Peltola has denied any involvement, instead pointing the finger at the Times, saying the outlet was just trying to increase its “subscriptions.”

This week an Indiana parole board has pleaded with Governor Mike Braun to uphold the death sentence of 50-year-old Jeffrey Weisheit. Weisheit was convicted for the 2010 brutal killings of his then girlfriend’s two children ages 5 and 8. The details are excruciating, including the fact that Weisheit tied up 5-year-old Caleb Lynch after arguing with him, and placed a railroad flare in his underwear and underneath his body, before setting the home on fire with 8-year-old Alyssa hiding in the closet. Both children died in the fire, but there is an unlikely supporter of commuting Weisheit’s execution to life in prison: the children’s father.

Arkansas State Police are on the hunt for 41-year-old Rodney Smith after police say he assaulted two officers at the county jail and grabbed one of their tasers. Smith was last seen walking along railroad tracks near the jail, without shoes, but so far has managed to evade police. Meantime, we’re learning more about Tennessee’s escaped prisoner, convicted murderer Jacob Morley, who authorities now believe could be connected with an armed bank robbery in Wisconsin. That would mean Morley may be armed with a weapon and an undisclosed amount of cash.
