Killer dragged victim to shallow grave by noose and head was found | US | News

Published by Sam Flores

A California man has been sentenced to more than 200 years behind bars for an “extraordinarily violent” murder of a 59 year old man, who was dragged with an electrical cord wrapped around his neck for more than 300 feet, according to authorities. Kenneth McNally Jr, 42, received his sentence in San Diego County Court on Tuesday on multiple charges, including first-degree murder in relation to the killing of Samuel Holthaus, prosecutors said in a news release. McNally was on probation following an attack on a dog with an axe and was residing on-and-off at trailers in the El Cajon area when he was observed “aggressively demanding rides off the property while appearing to conceal a weapon beneath a jacket” in September 2023, prosecutors said. More than a year following the horrific scene, a witness informed authorities he witnessed McNally shoot Holthaus before tying an electrical cord around his neck and fastening the cord to his truck prior to dragging him approximately 329 feet to a grave. Following the shooting, other witnesses said they discovered …

Poll of judges, lawyers sees grave Trump threat to rule of law

Poll of judges, lawyers sees grave Trump threat to rule of law

Published by Sam Flores

Sometimes it seems as though the only thing that stands between a functioning democracy and a full-on Trump autocracy is a thin, black-robed line. Although the Supreme Court, in general, and conservative appellate courts, in particular, have bowed and granted President Trump permission to do pretty much anything he wants, they haven’t thoroughly capitulated to his endless grasping for ever more power. (The way invertebrate congressional Republicans have.) At the lower-court level, judges have repeatedly ruled in ways intended to check Trump, most notably when it comes to violating civil and constitutional rights in pursuit of his indiscriminate immigration dragnet. The tendency to slow-walk his administration’s response to those rulings — and ignore others that Trump thinks he can safely snub — only contribute to the perception of presidential lawlessness and a sense that our judicial system is being strained to something approaching a breaking point. Go ahead, if you’d like, and dismiss those concerns as just so much overwrought hand-wringing, or the mindless anti-Trump blathering of your friendly political columnist. A new survey of …

Rare Unlooted Grave Among Forty-Four Roman Graves Uncovered in Croatia

Rare Unlooted Grave Among Forty-Four Roman Graves Uncovered in Croatia

Published by Jenni Sidey

Archaeologists excavating the site of a future farmers’ market in the eastern Croatian city of Vinkovci have discovered a rare intact grave amid the ancient Roman necropolis. The news was first reported by Croatia Week. When the initial discovery of the necropolis was announced in March, Josip Romić, the mayor of Vinkovci, said the graves are believed to be from the 2nd or 3rd centuries CE. Vinkovci was known as Colonia Aurelia Cibalae when it was part of the Roman Empire, and the area of the future open-air market overlaps with Cibalae’s northern necropolis. The ancient city was the birthplace of two Roman emperors, brothers Valentinian I (born in 321 CE) and his successor, Valens (born in 328 CE). A few months after the March discovery, archaeologists have uncovered the first undisturbed brick grave. It contains one male skeleton and the minimal items he was buried with: an iron object and a fragment of a bronze. Other graves, in contrast, contained items like small glass bottles likely used for perfumes or oils and ornamental brooches …

White House Slams Mark Hamill Over Trump Grave Picture

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Trump’s administration has issued a forceful response to Mark Hamill, after the Star Wars actor posted an AI-generated image depicting the US leader lying in a grave. On Wednesday, Hamill – who has been a vocal critic of Trump throughout hos political career – took to the social media site BlueSky, where he posted a picture showing the president lying in a grave, in front of a tombstone suggesting tat he died in 2024. “If only,” Mark captioned his post, before proclaiming that Trump “should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted and humiliated for his countless crimes”. He added: “Long enough to realise he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.” Since BlueSky is a relatively liberal platform compared with X, the vast majority of respondents had no problem with Hamill’s post. However, the White House’s Rapid Response account on X, however, had a much angrier reaction, branding the actor “one sick individual” and a “radical left lunatic”. .@MarkHamill …

11 Women Confess The Most Painful Lie They Ever Told Their Husband — And Why They’ll Take It To Their Grave

Published by Jenni Sidey

Ironically, no matter how happily married a person is, if anyone ever tells you they’re 100 percent honest in their marriage, they’re 100 percent lying to you. Not all of us can be saints, and sometimes, things go more smoothly with a little blurriness on the details. We asked wives to tell us the painful lies they’ve ever told their husbands, the ones they’ll take to the grave, and while some are undeniable doozies, a few appear to be more common than we suspected. We’ll let you figure out which is which. Here are the most painful lies 11 women have ever told their husbands, and why they’ll take it to their grave: 1. ‘I was still with my ex when my husband and I started dating’ “I was hooking up with my ex occasionally the first year my husband and I were dating. We weren’t serious at first, and I was still getting over whatever with my ex, so I was … multitasking? I wasn’t cheating; we didn’t have a label, but he definitely didn’t think I …

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending explained – A grave injustice

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending explained – A grave injustice

Published by Daniella Wilson

**Warning: contains full spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 8.** Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has ended on rather odd note, with the future of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) hanging in the balance while Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) essentially gets off scot-free. The whole season has been building towards a conclusive showdown between these arch-enemies, which finally takes place after the earth-shattering trial of Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll). But while Born Again season 2’s finale, titled The Southern Cross, will have major ramifications for Matt himself, it may leave fans divided over the fate of New York’s unstable Mayor, formerly known as Kingpin. For all the build-up and angst that preceded it, Daredevil: Born Again’s towering villain is handed a gentle ultimatum that hardly seems appropriate given the extent of his violent and ruthless crimes. Is this really the end of his story? Read on for our take on the strange Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending – including Kingpin’s fate, Matt’s enormous sacrifice and the potential return of The Defenders. Daredevil: …

Tesla announces HW4 Plus with doubled memory — will HW4 follow HW3 to the grave?

Published by skeptic

During Tesla’s Q1 2026 earnings call, CEO Elon Musk revealed that Tesla is planning an “AI4.1 or AI4 Plus” upgrade to its self-driving computer that doubles the RAM from 16 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes per chip — taking the total system memory to 64 gigabytes. The announcement came on the same call where Musk confirmed (or rather reconfirmed after backing away from the admision last year) that HW3 “simply does not have the capability” for unsupervised FSD. For the millions of Tesla owners currently driving HW4 cars, the timing raises an uncomfortable question. What Musk said about AI4 Plus Musk described the upgrade while explaining why Tesla’s next-generation AI5 chip won’t go into vehicles anytime soon. Since Tesla believes AI4 is sufficient for unsupervised Full Self-Driving, AI5 will instead go into Optimus robots and data centers.

Meet One Foot in the Grave star Annette Crosbie’s TV star daughter

Published by Daniella Wilson

One of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s was the BBC’s One Foot in the Grave, which focused on the exploits of early retiree Victor Meldrew, played by Richard Wilson. While the show focused on Victor’s antics, one of the most beloved characters from the sitcom was his long-suffering wife, Margaret, played by Annette Crosbie. Margaret often served as her husband’s comic foil, before becoming a more complex character. Annette, now aged 92, starred in the show for ten years, appearing in all six of the show’s seasons, as well as its special episodes. However, the star also appeared in the likes of The Pope Must Die, Calendar Girls and Into the Woods. However, her most successful roles were in The Six Wives of Henry VIII, where she played Catherine of Aragon, and Edward the Seventh, where she portrayed Queen Victoria. Both of these roles saw the star win BAFTA Awards for Best Actress. Away from her career, Annette initially found love with Michael Griffiths, with the pair marrying in 1966 and welcoming two children. …

Fury Erupts as Val Kilmer’s Estate Announces Starring Role in AI Film Made From Beyond the Grave

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Hollywood actors have been ringing the alarm bells over an industry that’s seemingly hellbent on replacing them with AI. And the general public appears to be on their side. Last year, a talent studio drew enormous and near-universal backlash after announcing the creation of an AI-generated “actress.” Even recently deceased Hollywood movie stars are fair game. During an ongoing industry trade show in Las Vegas, filmmakers behind an upcoming indie film featuring an AI-rendered version of iconic actor Val Kilmer, who’s set to take a prominent role in the film — despite having died from cancer at the age of 65 last year. Kilmer was initially cast as a Catholic priest and Native American spiritualist before his death, as Variety reports, but was too sick to be part of the movie. His estate stepped in, allowing the filmmakers to use generative AI to wrap up production of the film, which features the extraordinarily on-the-nose title of “As Deep …
