PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Court records revealed that a fourth suspect has been arrested in connection to the brutal murder of a Phoenix man last month. According to arresting documents, 21-year-old Christopher Ibarra was arrested on Monday in connection to the death of 30-year-old Bernardo Pantaleon. Ibarra was arrested on Tuesday, but no details surrounding his arrest were immediately released. On Nov. 26, Pantaleon’s body was found with “significant trauma” on a trail near Mountain View Park, near 7th and Peoria avenues. Court paperwork revealed that he had been shot multiple times and that his body was mutilated. Injuries extended...

A Wisconsin judge has ruled that an 1849 law does not actually protect preborn children from abortion, setting up a potential challenge in the state Supreme Court. Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper ruled that the 174-year-old law applies to feticide (an act of homicide against a fetus committed by someone other than the child’s mother), but not abortion (initiated by the child’s mother). The statute is worded: Any person, other than the mother, who intentionally destroys the life of an unborn child is guilty of a Class H felony. Yet Schlipper said that this wording referred to someone attacking...

It comes amid the release of testimonies given by those who saw the terror attack first hand - or were among the first at the scene in the days that followed. The accounts and first assessments by Israeli rights groups suggest sexual assault was part of an atrocities-filled rampage by Hamas and other Gaza militants...one investigator said Hamas stormed across Israel's border with Gaza with a 'clear order' - to use 'rape as genocide'.

You might think that a government faced with a barbaric public stabbing of schoolchildren and an unprecedented night of rioting in its capital city would extend condolences to the victims, take a deep breath, and try to figure out how a city managed to spiral out of control on its watch. But instead, Thursday’s riots in Dublin were met by a shallow, one-dimensional analysis by all of the key authorities involved: to blame the “far right.”For example, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris blamed the violence on the streets on a “hooligan faction driven by far right ideology.” Taoiseach Leo Varadkar pledged...

Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — Testimony will begin Thursday in the cold case murder trial of Timothy Williams, who was arrested in 2020 for the 1984 rape and murder of 14-year-old Wendy Jerome. Both sides presented opening statements Wednesday, with new details of Jerome's death coming to light for the first time since she was killed nearly four decades ago.

Life has always had challenges, tragedies, crimes, all sorts of horrors. There have been brawlers, thieves and murderers since the dawn of time, so the individual crimes of modern times are perhaps not without precedent. But there are differences. There are changes in the modern era – in how such crimes are received – that are without precedent in the past. In the 1920s, Soviet Communists murdered millions of their fellow Russians. Americans and other westerners didn’t know this, largely because the press intentionally suppressed such news. Many liberal Americans, even non-communists, supported friendly relations with the Soviet Union, but...

A stricken widower is suing the parents of four teenagers who dismembered his 73-year-old wife by viciously dragging her along behind her own SUV during a horrific fatal carjacking. Rickey Frickey launched the lawsuit to hold the parents 'responsible', his attorney said, holding them partly to blame for her March 2022 death in a newly filed suit, seeking at least $50,000 in damages. After the final perpetrator, John Honore, 18, was convicted of murder this week, Linda's grieving husband is suing Honore's parents and those of three others involved. Honore's accomplices, Briniyah Baker, 17, Lenyra Theophile, 16, and Mar'Qel Curtis,...

WARNING: This story contains graphic details Decades before Yahya Sinwar became the political leader of Hamas in Gaza, Israeli journalist and author Ehud Yaari sat down with him over hummus in an Israeli prison in the Negev desert. He describes Sinwar, who conversed in fluent Hebrew, as a curious but cunning Islamist, bent upon the destruction of the state of Israel. "He is not somebody who's thinking about negotiations, a two-state solution — that's not Sinwar," said Yaari, who interviewed Sinwar in prison four times between 1993 and 2001. "He was very clear that the state of Israel should be...

One of the most accurate aspects about Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza is the use of the word Nazi to describe the terrorist enemy. No other label or historical parallel could capture the chilling ferocious madness – but not scope – of Palestinian butchery of Israelis. The Nazi vilification epithet has now become conventional Israeli discourse in public and media circles with the vivid revelation – in words and photos – of Palestinian savagery and barbarism by Hamas on October 7. Hamas terrorists, without an ounce of inhibition or remorse, shot youth in cold blood at the music festival...

Kelly says Sicknick's death was 'planted' to steer the focus away from bad cop provocation, beatings, brutality, and murder of MAGA patriots.

This is the horrific moment an injured teenager is tased by a cop called to a car crash – leaving him flatlining in an ambulance and then fighting for life in a coma. Jordan Rivero was already bloodied, dazed and confused after the accident on his way home from a fishing trip in the Florida Keys with three friends in July 2022. Police bodycam footage obtained by DailyMail.com shows the 19-year-old passenger sobbing uncontrollably near the wrecked pick-up truck as he sits down on the orders of Monroe County Sheriff's deputies. Disoriented and not under suspicion of any crime, he...

Two men were lynched in the West Bank on Friday after being accused of collaborating with Israel. The alleged "spies" were murdered in the street while others filmed the carnage. Their bodies were then hung from a tower as a large crowd cheered in approval.. Pro-Palestinian accounts on social media celebrated the killings by claiming it was an act of resistance, though no evidence has emerged to confirm the claims that the two men were actually spies working for Israel. ... That this happened in the ostensibly more moderate West Bank says everything about the possibility of a "two-state solution,"...

Four of the Nevada 'bullies' arrested over the horrific mass attack which killed 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr could barely conceal their fear as they appeared in court on murder charges. Dontral Beaver, 16, Damien Hernandez, 17, Gianni Robinson, 17, and Treavion Randolph, 16, are among eight schoolmates accused of beating Lewis to death outside Rancho High School in Las Vegas on November 1. Cowed, cuffed, and being tried as adults, the four teens mumbled their replies as they stood before Judge Nadia Wood at the start of a trial which could see them jailed for life. Lewis died in hospital...

Survey by Palestinian polling firm shows 75% support for October 7 massacre. Defeating Hamas is just the first step if there ever is to be peace. Palestinian society is going to have to change, much like German and Japanese societies changed after their defeat.. We shouldn’t have to do this. But lowlife scum have been spreading false claims either that the Hamas massacre on October 7 never happened (e.g. The Palestinian Authority, you know, ‘the moderates’) or that Israeli did the killing (internet clickbait personalities like Jackson Hinkle and pathological anti-Israel fanatics like Max Blumenthal). So we continue with the...

Democrat Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown took action against a member of his own hate crime task force on Tuesday after numerous antisemitic social media posts by the member surfaced, including a claim that the babies murdered in the brutal Oct. 7 Hamas attack were "fake." Zainab Chaudry, an anti-Israel activist who serves as the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) Maryland office, made the posts in the weeks following Hamas' attack, which saw more than 1,200 people killed, including children and babies, as well as numerous rapes and destruction of property. "The Office of Attorney General learned...

A Memphis man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter over two years after he reportedly shot and killed a man who was taking out the trash after dinner. Court records show 24-year-old Metavious Bishop was first charged with second-degree murder for the July 2021 slaying, but he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter on October 26, 2023. He was sentenced to 10 years in state prison on Monday. According to the arrest affidavit, on the night of July 8, 2021, officers found 24-year-old Ray Taylor shot to death in...

A Washington, DC teenager accused of fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy earlier this month allegedly bragged on Instagram about the murder, which his mother watched, according to police. FOX 5 in D.C. reported that 17-year-old Lorenzo Thompson was arrested by Metropolitan Police and charged with second-degree murder as an adult in the fatal Nov. 3 shooting of Niko Estep.

The world was taken aghast on October 7, 2023, when Hamas surprised the peaceful residents of Israel and slaughtered over 1400 men, women, and children. They were mowed down by gunfire, raped, and burned alive, but the worst was the decapitation of children by Hamas terrorists. It left the most hardened heart to wonder if civilization, is gasping for its last breath.

On this day fifty years ago, November 10th, 1973, Stringbean Akeman frailed his final phrases on a Vega #9 five-string banjo, did his signature hand wave and hat flip one last time, and stepped off the Opry stage and into the history books in what would come to signal a change for the Opry itself, country music as an industry, and even country music as an institution. Before the night was out, Stringbean Akeman and his wife Estelle (Stanfill) were shot by two 23-year old cousins who’d come to know of Stringbean’s habit of keeping large amounts of cash on...

The suspect in a homicide late last month was in court this morning for his preliminary hearing. Bryan Houston says he was with Darryl Roberts the night of September 28 when Chattanooga Police say he shot and killed Chris Wright next to Patten Towers. He says they hung out together every night at that spot. The surveillance footage used in Monday’s preliminary hearing came from a camera adjacent to Patten Towers. That would have been located at the corner of Market and East 11th Streets, on the blue and yellow checkered sidewalk that begins Georgia Avenue. The footage begins at...
