18-year-old Wyatt Testerman propped his grandmother's phone on a metal Yeti tumbler and closed the blinds. Then he beat her with that tumbler and punched her more than 40 times. At one point he stopped to check if she was still alive. She was, so he kept going. Cheri Oliver was 74. Her grandson had moved in with her in Erlanger, Kentucky, after a hospital let him go following an LSD overdose. Before the attack he moved the coffee table, made sure she was in the frame and sent a text: "She will be beaten to a pulp. No mercy for terrorists." His mother saw it happen and hit him with a cane trying to make him stop. When police pulled up on October 8, 2024, he was standing in the street with his hands up, and from the back of the patrol car he yelled, "Crazy people don't play by the rules, Mom." At the station he told a detective, "I hit her," and seconds later, "I just wanted my grandma to get f***ing help." His aunt told the court Cheri had been thrilled to have him living there, and he ran errands and drove his grandparents to the doctor. "Why would he hurt the one person who always had his back no matter what?" In the video below, the bodycam from that afternoon, his grandfather telling officers how Wyatt ordered her to stay in her chair, and the interview room. His lawyer called it drug-induced psychosis and asked for 20 years. The prosecutor called it the most premeditated murder he had ever seen. In July 2026 the judge gave him life with a chance at parole after 20 years, and told him, "That's not just something that drugs do. That's something that is there." Did the acid kill Cheri Oliver, or did it just show who her grandson already was?

An Arkansas state trooper cuffed Amanda Prince for driving on a suspended license, put her in his back seat without searching her, and switched off his cameras as they pulled into the jail. When they came back on, a bag of cocaine was on his hood and she was facing 6 to 30 years for It was December 17, 2023, in Monticello. "Bull crap, because that was not on me," she told him. "Well, that's fine," Trooper Christian Morphis answered. "I got a camera that watched the whole thing." He said he'd vacuumed his back seat at a carwash right before the stop, so the bag could only be hers. In his report he wrote that his backseat camera showed her "moving very erratically" and "digging in her waistline" before the drugs were found. She posted a $5,000 bond, lost her late father's truck to the impound fees and then her job, because she had no way to get to work. In September 2024 a jury found her not guilty after a one-day trial. Then the State Police's own investigator watched the tape and wrote that the digging "never occurred," her hands sat on top of her shirt the entire time, and Morphis admitted he never watched the whole stop before charging her. The investigator decided the bag most likely came from a man Morphis had arrested three days earlier and never properly searched either. Her lawyers call that a cover story. Their lawsuit says that about 10 minutes after he cuffed her, his own in-car camera caught him opening his front passenger door and tossing a bag onto the floor, the same bag he "found" in the back seat at the jail. In the video below, the moment at the jail, the camera "that watched the whole thing," the toss, and the internal affairs interview where he's told "Either this report is a lie or it's not a lie." He was fired in January 2025 and lost his law enforcement certification, but he has never been charged with a crime. In December 2025 the Arkansas State Police said there is "zero evidence" he planted anything. You've seen the toss. Was it a lazy trooper's mistake, or did he plant it?

A Georgia deputy pushed into Natasha Lopez's home without a warrant and arrested her while she was on the phone with 911. A year later prosecutors traced an anonymous page posting AI images of a fake OnlyFans with her face back to the same deputy. On August 30, 2025, Cpl. Charles Mills of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office came to her house in Woodstock looking for her 21-year-old son, who didn't live there, over a motorcycle he believed had sped past him on another day. She told him to come back with a warrant and asked him to leave. He came back about ten minutes later with an arrest warrant for the son and cuffed him in the front yard. Then he said he believed there was evidence inside, walked up the steps and pushed the front door open into her younger son, who was filming through the door. "Do you have a warrant? This is being videotaped," she kept saying. She called 911, and when the operator picked up he grabbed her, took her phone and arrested her for obstruction. She says she had never been arrested in her life and had to strip down at the jail for booking. The sheriff's office told local TV he was doing a protective sweep for officer safety, while his own report, as civil rights attorney John Bryan reads it, says he went in after a cell phone he thought they would destroy. He got a search warrant for that phone after she was already in the patrol car. For the next year she fought the arrest online. Then a Facebook page called "Not So Noble" started posting her family's information, her child's unredacted juvenile records and AI-generated images of a fake OnlyFans account using her face. Every time she got it taken down, a new one showed up. On September 22, 2026, the Solicitor General's Office identified the owner as Cpl. Charles Mills. In the video below, the bodycam from that night, from the moment he walks in to the moment she's arrested on the phone with 911. He was fired on October 2, and in October a judge gave her a 12-month stalking protective order. No criminal charges have been filed against him. She still faces two counts of obstruction, one for not leaving her own porch and one for not leaving her own house, each carrying up to 12 months in jail. He had a warrant for her son. Did that give him the right to walk into her house, or should her case have been thrown out a year ago?

31-year-old Justine May told the crisis workers at her door that she was "really sick of showing" her two little girls to people. Seventeen days later Emory, 2, and Harlow, 1, were found dead inside, starved and dehydrated, a week after deputies stopped checking on them. Between August 10 and September 29 the sheriff's office in Charleston County got 21 calls about the house on Pinewood Drive in Ladson and went out 13 times. Her relatives kept asking someone to look in on the girls, and so did their father and a neighbor. A DSS worker went inside with deputies on August 30. On September 12 she came to the door with Mobile Crisis standing behind the deputy. She told them she wouldn't hurt herself or anyone else and wasn't hearing voices, and that she slept seven hours a night even with the kids. "DSS has already come out here and cleared me," she told them. "The police have been out here multiple times and cleared me." On September 20 she wouldn't open the door and said the girls were sleeping, so nobody saw them. Two days later a duty supervisor decided to stop the welfare checks, and when the calls kept coming a deputy was reportedly recorded on the radio saying, "We are no longer conducting welfare checks at that address." On September 29 a neighbor called again, and deputies went in with her DSS caseworker and found both girls. The coroner said they had been dead for three to five days. In the video below, the bodycam from September 12, one of the last visits where anyone saw the girls alive. She is charged with two counts of homicide by child abuse. Sheriff Carl Ritchie defends his deputies and says there was no new information pointing to an immediate threat. Did the sheriff's office do everything it could, or did it stop knocking a week before two little girls starved?

15-year-old Gregory Ramos strangled his mother over a D in biology, buried her behind a church and was at school by 7:30. That afternoon he told deputies the house had been robbed, and on bodycam, with his mother missing, he complains about his $1,000 computer. Gail Cleavenger was 46 and worked at an architecture firm in Orlando. Her van was running in the driveway with her bike still inside, and one detective called the mess in the house excessive for a burglary. Detectives noticed fresh scratches on his face, and he gave three different stories about how he got them. In the interview room they told him the worst thing would be to put his hands on her. "I would never do something like that," he said. Then he told them about the fight over the grade, and how he said a prayer with her that night and kissed her before he went to sleep. He confessed soon after, named two 17-year-old friends who helped stage the burglary and led detectives to the grave. Asked how he killed her, he said he started with one hand and "thought two is better than one." In the video below, the bodycam from that afternoon, the interview, and audio from the back of a patrol car where the three boys talk about mac and cheese and graduating. He pleaded guilty as an adult, and in January 2021 he got 45 years with a review after 25. His friends got one year each. The sheriff called him one of the "top three sociopaths" he had ever dealt with, and at sentencing Ramos said, "I can only plead for forgiveness." He was 15. Should he ever get that second look, or was the sheriff right about him?

A police bodycam in Homestead, Florida shows Daisy Link at 3:28 a.m. on her knees in the grass next to her bleeding husband, screaming "Pedro, what happened?" She was the one who shot him. Pedro Jimenez, 33, was hit once in the leg and died. Daisy told the officers he had left the house and never came home, so she went looking for him and found him lying in the alley. A security camera had recorded her walking away from him. At her trial in October 2025 the prosecutor read her what that camera picked up as she walked off: "You'll be fine. It's not like I hit a major artery. You'll be fine." She answered, "That's not what I said." She admitted lying to the 911 operator and to police, and said Pedro had abused her for years and she fired at the floor to scare him. The jury convicted her of second-degree murder in less than two hours. In February 2026 the judge threw the verdict out and ordered a new trial, because prosecutors had shown jurors photos that were never admitted as evidence. Prosecutors appealed and the case is on hold. While she waited for that first trial she got pregnant in a Miami-Dade jail and gave birth in June 2024. According to inmates who spoke to WSVN, the father was another prisoner who passed his sperm to her through an air vent, and they never touched. In the video below, the bodycam from that night, Daisy telling the officers what she "found," and the prosecutor asking her about it at trial. Abused wife who panicked, or a murderer who got a second chance because of a prosecutor's mistake?

A 2016 police body camera shows Daniel Shaver on his knees in a Mesa hotel hallway, hands up, sobbing "Please do not shoot me." He was unarmed. Officer Philip Brailsford shot him five times, was acquitted of murder, and got a $2,500-a-month pension for PTSD from that night. Shaver was 26, a pest-control worker from Texas with two little girls. Guests at the La Quinta Inn had seen someone point a rifle out of his fifth-floor window. It was a pellet gun he used for work, and it was still in the room when six officers lined up at the end of the hall. Sgt. Charles Langley ran the commands: "If you make a mistake, another mistake, there is a very severe possibility that you're both going to get shot." When Shaver started to ask something, Langley cut him off with "Shut up. I'm not here to be tactful or diplomatic with you. You listen, you obey." Then came the rules: legs crossed, hands up, never put them down for any reason, crawl toward us. While he crawled, his basketball shorts slid down and his hand went back toward his waist. Brailsford fired five rounds from an AR-15 with "You're f*cked" etched on it. Mesa's own incident report called the movement "consistent with attempting to pull his shorts up" and said "no other purposes for this movement appear to be viable." In the video below, the last 30 seconds of the body camera, from "Please do not shoot me" to the second before the shots. Then the Mesa city manager, asked by ABC15 where Brailsford's PTSD came from. Mesa fired Brailsford, and a jury acquitted him in December 2017. In 2018 the city quietly took him back without pay, long enough for him to apply for an accidental disability pension, and the board, with the city manager voting yes, gave him $2,500 a month. In 2022 Mesa paid Shaver's widow $8 million. Was it a split-second call any officer could have made, or an execution the city ended up paying a pension for?

In 1996 Madeleine Albright went on 60 Minutes and said the deaths of half a million Iraqi children under the sanctions on Iraq were "worth it." Her exact words: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." She was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the time. Lesley Stahl had just said it was more children than died in Hiroshima, and Albright went on to say the bigger moral question was making sure Saddam Hussein was not a threat to America and to the region. In the video below, 16 years later, she's smiling at an Obama campaign office in Virginia when an activist asks if she still believes it was worth it. Then the 1996 answer itself. "No," she tells him, it was "a terrible mistake." He asks if the sanctions on Iran are the same mistake, and she says they are not. Moments later someone in the room is telling him to get out. The year after the interview she became the first woman to serve as secretary of state. In her 2003 memoir she wrote about that answer: "I must have been crazy." The number itself didn't hold up either. In 2017 two researchers at the London School of Economics found "no major rise in child mortality in Iraq after 1990 and during the period of the sanctions," and called the best-known survey behind the figures, run with Saddam Hussein's government in 1999, "an especially masterful fraud." So was she wrong to say it, or wrong to apologize for it?

Elizabeth Holmes asked Rupert Murdoch, her biggest investor, to kill a story in his own newspaper, and when a prosecutor asked her about it under oath in 2021, she answered in two words: "I did." Murdoch had put $125 million into Theranos, more than anyone else. In late September 2015 Holmes went to his office at News Corp to stop a Wall Street Journal investigation into her blood tests, while the reporter, John Carreyrou, was sitting three floors below. Murdoch said no and told her he trusted the Journal's editors to make the best decisions. The story ran on October 15, 2015, and the same day Holmes went on CNBC. In the video below she tells Jim Cramer: "This is what happens when you work to change things. And first they think you're crazy, then they fight you, and then all of a sudden you change the world." She also says she was "shocked" the Journal would publish it after Theranos had sent "over a thousand pages of documentation." Then you see the court record of the moment she admitted going to Murdoch, and what he did a year later: he sold his $125 million stake back for one dollar. This month Nathan Fielder's documentary about her, "You Can See Everything," is in theaters. She called him from prison right before it opened. Was she a founder who believed her own story, or a CEO who knew exactly what she was hiding?

Seven tobacco CEOs raised their right hands in front of Congress on April 14, 1994, and one after another swore that nicotine is not addictive. One of their own companies had put the opposite in writing 31 years earlier: "We are, then, in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug." That line is from a 1963 memo by the general counsel of Brown & Williamson. Its CEO, Thomas Sandefur, was sitting in that row of seven. In the video below Congressman Ron Wyden asks them to answer down the row, yes or no. You hear "I believe nicotine is not addictive" again and again, and the head of R.J. Reynolds says cigarettes don't meet "the classic definitions of addiction." Less than four weeks later the company's internal documents started coming out in The New York Times, and by mid-May that memo was in the papers. In 1998 the industry agreed to pay the states about $206 billion over 25 years. In 2006 a federal judge ruled that the companies had "deceived the American public." She also ordered them to admit it in public. After years of appeals, the ads started in November 2017, paid for by the companies themselves: "Smoking is highly addictive. Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco." The video ends with one of them. Cigarettes still kill more than 480,000 Americans a year, according to the CDC. If a CEO lies under oath to Congress, should that be a crime that sends them to prison, or is making them pay and confess enough?

A BBC reporter had fake bank statements made and showed them to Princess Diana's brother so he could get to her. A few weeks later she sat down with that reporter at Kensington Palace and gave the answer nearly 23 million people in Britain heard on November 20, 1995: "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." The BBC has since promised it will never show that interview again. In the video below Martin Bashir asks if Camilla Parker Bowles was a factor in the breakdown of her marriage, and Diana looks straight at him and answers. Then, in 2021, her brother Charles Spencer explains how it started. The statements Bashir brought him "looked authentic. They looked very real." The first set claimed his former head of security was being paid by Rupert Murdoch's News International. The second claimed the closest advisers to Diana and Charles were being paid to spy on her. Spencer passed it on, and Diana wrote back on Kensington Palace paper that "it all makes complete sense." Bashir first met her brother on August 31, 1995. In December the Queen wrote to Charles and Diana urging a divorce, it was final the next August, and Diana died on August 31, 1997, two years to the day after that first meeting. When questions came up, Bashir twice told his bosses he had never shown the fakes to anyone. A 1996 internal inquiry cleared him, and in 2021 he was still at the BBC as its religion editor when an independent inquiry called him "dishonest and devious." Prince William said the BBC's failures fed his mother's "fear, paranoia and isolation." This September the brother who introduced Bashir to her published a memoir about her. He writes that days after her death Charles told him, "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough." The palace answered that grief can "colour memory." Were those still her own words, or did a few fake bank statements put them in her mouth?

In 1998 a prosecutor told Bill Clinton under oath that his lawyer's words to a judge were "an utterly false statement." Clinton answered in one line: "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is." In February he was under oath on camera again, about Jeffrey Epstein. On August 17, 1998, Clinton testified for four hours from the Map Room of the White House while the grand jury watched from a nearby courthouse. No sitting president had faced a grand jury over his own conduct before, and a month later Congress released the tape and the networks aired it. Seven months earlier, in Paula Jones's sexual harassment suit, his lawyer Robert Bennett told the judge that Monica Lewinsky's affidavit said there was "no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form" with the president. Clinton was in the room and didn't correct him. In the video below prosecutor Sol Wisenberg reads that line back to him. Clinton stares straight ahead, then explains that if "is" means right now, "that was a completely true statement." A minute later he spells it out. If someone had asked him that day, in the present tense, whether he was having sexual relations with Lewinsky, "I would have said no. And it would have been completely true." By his own testimony the last of those encounters was in early 1997. Four months later the House impeached him for lying to that grand jury, 228 to 206, and in February 1999 the Senate acquitted him. He still paid Paula Jones $850,000 to settle, and a federal judge fined him $90,686 for contempt. Arkansas took away his law license for five years. On February 27 he sat for more than six hours under oath in Chappaqua, New York, for the House Oversight Committee's Epstein investigation, and the committee released the video. In his opening statement he said, "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong." Was it a lie, or just perfect grammar?

Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 so he wouldn't be impeached and put on trial in the Senate. Three years later David Frost asked him whether a president can break the law, and he answered in one line: "When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." It was May 1977. Nixon had been paid $600,000 plus a share of the profits to sit down with a British talk show host, the big networks wouldn't buy it, so Frost sold it station by station. More than 45 million Americans watched the first night, a record for a political interview. In the video below Frost asks about the Huston Plan, Nixon's 1970 program of break-ins and mail opening aimed at American citizens. Nixon sits with his chin on his hand for almost two seconds before he says it. Frost asks, "By definition?" Nixon says "Exactly, exactly," then explains that anyone who carries out a president's order can't be breaking the law, because otherwise "they're in an impossible position." His chief of staff, his top domestic adviser and his attorney general all went to prison over Watergate. Nixon never stood trial, because Gerald Ford had pardoned him on September 8, 1974, a month after he left the White House. Thirty years later Hollywood turned this exchange into Frost/Nixon, and it got five Oscar nominations. Was he wrong, or just 50 years early?
