WOW. Not only did the dethroned Miss North Carolina NOT apologize for using the N-word, or any other offensive previous social media posts, she claimed her right to use the racist slurs because her great grandfather identified as black AND because it’s popular slang used by Beyonce and other artists. In her new lawsuit, which is a hell of a read, Brittany Boltinhouse claims pageant officials “maliciously coordinated to publish a narrative portraying her as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, and intolerable bigot.” She takes zero responsibility for her past actions, and instead is asking for an unidentified sum of money for her “excruciating reputational destruction.”

A horrific story out of Pennsylvania: an 18-year-old college freshman brutally stabbed to death in her own vehicle, by her own boyfriend. 18-year-old Royce Moser told police a demon took over him and told him to stab Karoline Heintz after a late night argument. Moser then called his mom, who reportedly admitted to helping her son cover up the crime, cleaning up blood from the car and her son’s clothing, then throwing away the murder weapon. Both mother and son are now in custody facing multiple charges.

The forensic psychologist who set off a firestorm in the courtroom on Monday will be back on the stand today. The judge ultimately ruled against a mistrial, but admonished the prosecution and instructed the jury to disregard Dr. Helibrun’s testimony about “mortal sin”. Testimony resumes today, first with Helibrun - and we can’t wait to hear how defense attorney Kevin Reddington handles any further questioning of him - and then with the state’s final rebuttal witness. We could see closing arguments as soon as Wednesday, and Lindsay Clancy’s fate should be in the hands of the jury by midweek.
