- Athena Strand tidbits I've picked up.
- It looks like Bill Ray of Fort Worth has been court appointed as the defendant's attorney per county records.
- The feeling I'm getting is that authorities do not believe portions of the original confession are true -- I mentioned Friday that I didn't believe parts of it either.
- There is a subsequent statement given by the defendant. I don't know what's in it.
- Nothing like waking up to a tornado warning. Decatur even fired off the warning sirens at 7:12 a.m. The official warning was set to expire at 7:45 . . .
- . . . but they refined and narrowed the area to east of Decatur around 7:20 a.m.
- Edit: There are some reports of damage southeast of Decatur. This looks like a video of roof damage. Here's a video with some very colorful Wise County language of what appears to be two guys filming a tornado this morning.
- Edit: This is the bulletin from FEMA hot off the presses. We've got a possible serious injury.
- Edit: 287 south of Decatur closed due to debris (?) per National Weather Service at 8:29 a.m. And FM 703 south of Decatur is closed due to downed power lines and debris.
- Two people were injured, but not killed, in a small plane crash in Carrollton last night. Honestly, I'm surprised these images are from the same story but they are.
- I told you I thought the officer in his Fort Worth murder trial should testify, and he did. This should be enough to obtain a not guilty verdict. But don't run off to Vegas to bet big money on it.
- Crypto is a scam.
- "Let me just have a grand jury indict a guy with two of the most heinous offenses imaginable, destroy his life, and then just dismiss the cases later for 'insufficient evidence'." - Some prosecutor's attitude in this case.
- Even an arrest that doesn't result in charges causes immeasurable damage. From yesterday:
- I thought I was keeping up with the chaos out there, but I completely missed that the El Paso District Attorney flat out resigned a few days ago. A capital murder case against a mass murderer is just languishing.
- The Special Master is officially gone in Trump's Document Case after an appellate court had to tell a renegade federal judge she was out of her mind for not dismissing the case from the beginning. She dutifully complied yesterday. All she did was muck up the works for a couple of months.
- Holy cow. Crazy Texas's own Don Huffines would have become crazy Kari Lake's chief of staff.
- And how crazy is Huffines? Here's a recent example:
- Wow. It was just announced Mike Leach has now passed away. He was 61.
