Courtroom Horror: Laken Riley's Accused Killer’s EERIE Reaction To Police Questioning

Texas has offered to lease the federal government a 1,400-acre ranch to build detention facilities for President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation effort. Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham made the offer in a letter to Trump on Tuesday. The land is located about 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas, a border town near the state’s southern tip. The letter offered to lease the land to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the U.S. Border Patrol for law enforcement purposes. Buckingham would agree “to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history,” she wrote in the letter. Texas bought the ranch from the previous owner, who refused to allow border fencing to be built on it and had blocked Texas law enforcement from accessing the property, the letter said. Texas and the state General Land Office that Buckingham heads support Trump’s plan to enact a massive deportation effort after millions of illegal aliens entered the United States under President Joe Biden, Buckingham said in an interview with Fox News. “What I care about is that we have safe communities, and there is no doubt that we are losing too many of our children to these violent criminals that are coming across the border,” Buckingham said. “I am 100% on board with the Trump administration’s pledge to get these criminals out of our country, and we are more than happy to offer our resources to facilitate those deportations of these violent criminals.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “This election was a resounding referendum on the fact that Americans want safe communities. We want people to immigrate legally and legally only and that the administration’s policies over the last four years have failed every American citizen,” she said. After Trump’s election win, Buckingham said she began looking for ways to help the president-elect implement his deportation agenda. The offer to lease the Starr County ranch came from discussions with her staff. “Right now, it’s essentially farmland, so it’s flat, it’s easy to build on. We could very easily put a detention center on there, a holding place as we get these criminals out of our country,” she said. “It’s accessible to international airports as well as a major crossing over the river. And so we’re just happy to get help, do anything we can to get these violent criminals off of our soil.”

Former “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno explained why he’s walking around with severe black and blue bruises on his face, an eye patch, and a broken wrist. The 74-year-old late-night icon told “Inside Edition” on Tuesday that he fell down the side of a hill on his way to dinner before a recent stand-up show in Pittsburgh. “I’m a little beat up,” he told the outlet.” “I fell 60 feet. Boom, boom, boom, boom.” Leno said the black and blue bruises appeared after he “hit a bunch of rocks” during his tumble. The comedian also said one of the rocks hit his eye, which explains the eye patch. Leno revealed that he also lost a fingernail.

I’m not worried about it.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The fall didn’t keep Leno from performing at his scheduled show just three hours later and putting on another show in Beverly Hills over the weekend. This is not Leno’s first serious accident. In January, he was involved in a motorcycle accident and sustained multiple broken bones. In 2022, he was working to repair a fuel line on one of his vintage cars when a leak caused gasoline to spray over his hands and face. A spark then ignited the gas. Leno underwent a series of treatments, including grafting procedures on both his hands and face. He credited his close friend standing nearby with acting quickly, likely saving his life. In May, Leno said he was “lucky” to have survived so many accidents which could have been fatal. “First of all they’re accidents. If they were deliberate, I would be complaining,” Leno said at the time. He continued, “Look, I’ve been extremely lucky in my life, you know, and even though the accidents weren’t fun, I was still pretty lucky,” he added. “I didn’t lose an eye, I’m not horribly disfigured … well, just regular disfigured.” “I’ve got a lot to be grateful for,” Leno said. “First of all, in Hollywood – it’s only how you look, nobody cares how you feel like. I mean I still have a broken collar bone, two broken ribs and two cracked knee caps, but I’m getting around.”

The illegal immigrant on trial for the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has been found guilty on all counts. Jose Ibarra, 26, was found guilty on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape Riley, who was found murdered after she went jogging at the University of Georgia in Athens, the New York Post reported. Ibarra had previously waived his right to a jury trial, so the verdict came from Judge Patrick Haggard during a bench trial. Haggard rendered his decision just 19 minutes after the prosecution and defense presented closing arguments. During her closing arguments, Prosecutor Sheila Ross spent 45 minutes summarizing the facts of the case, saying the evidence against Ibarra was “overwhelming.” She noted that Ibarra’s roommates testified that he was guilty, his DNA was found under Riley’s fingernails, and his fingerprint was found on her cell phone. “Quite frankly: she got him. She scratched him,” Ross said, referring to the injuries that were found on Ibarra’s hands and arms. On Monday, photos of Ibarra’s hands and arms with scratches were shown in court, The Daily Wire reported. Ross also relayed some of the more graphic details of the crime. “[H]e put huge holes in her head with a rock and he did it more than once. There is no reason for him to do that except to silence her forever,” she said, according to the Post. She also reminded the judge that Ibarra was seen on surveillance footage disposing of a bloody jacket. “He threw away that jacket because he knew exactly what was on it. It was his blood and her blood … so he knew he had to get rid of it,” she said. “He threw away those items because he knew he killed her.” Ibarra’s defense attorney attempted to blame his brother Diego for Riley’s killing, saying he was the one who wore the hat seen by the man suspected of killing Riley in surveillance footage that eventually led to Jose. Just a couple hours before the verdict footage of Diego’s police interrogation was shown. Diego, a member of the violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, identified his brother as the man in surveillance footage during the interrogation. “That’s him,” Diego said, referring to his brother. “It looks like he’s throwing something in the trash. I’ve seen him in those clothes,” he added. On Monday, the court also heard testimony from FBI analyst Abeisis Ramirez, who translated a jailhouse phone call between Ibarra and his wife. “She said that she thinks it’s crazy that they don’t have anyone else’s DNA. They only have his,” Ramirez testified, according to Fox News. Ibarra faces life in prison for the murder.

Jordan Neely suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and heard voices, a forensic psychiatrist testified on Tuesday during the trial of Marine veteran Daniel Penny. Penny’s defense called forensic psychiatrist Dr. Alexander Bardey to the stand on Tuesday after the prosecution attempted to keep the doctor from testifying. Bardey reviewed thousands of pages of Neely’s medical records dating back to 2015, Fox News reported, and told jurors that Neely had been hospitalized more than a dozen times for psychotic episodes and for abusing synthetic marijuana. Bardey testified that Neely had delusions that deceased rapper and actor Tupac Shakur – who has been dead for nearly 30 years, was using him to “change the world.” Neely also heard the “devil’s voice.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The defense also called to the stand two Marine sergeants who served with Penny. Nolan Drylie, Penny’s former platoon sergeant, explained that Penny had received a Humanitarian Service Medal for his work during the recovery effort following Hurricane Florence in 2018, WFIN reported. Gunnery Sgt. Nathaniel Dunchie also testified that “discrimination is not tolerated in the Marine Corps,” referring to the prosecution’s claim there is a racial element to Penny placing Neely in a chokehold. Dunchie testified that Penny was an honest man with integrity. The prosecution rested on Monday after New York medical examiner Dr. Cynthia Harris testified for the third day. Harris testified that Neely died from Penny’s chokehold and that the chokehold caused his death even with the amount of drugs in Neely’s system. Penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter or up to 4 years if he’s convicted on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide in Neely’s death. Multiple witnesses have testified that they were afraid of Neely, who entered the subway train car and allegedly began ranting that someone was going to die and he didn’t care if he went back to jail. These witnesses have said they feared for their lives, with some even thanking Penny for stepping in, The Daily Wire reported.

Elon Musk’s alleged involvement in the controversial Infowars sale adds a new twist to Alex Jones’ ongoing legal saga. Elon Musk’s lawyers reportedly intervened in the Infowars sale to The Onion. A federal judge questioned the transparency of the auction process. Musk’s Alleged Intervention Alex Jones, the controversial Infowars host, claims that Elon Musk’s legal team intervened in a planned transaction to sell Infowars to The Onion. Jones describes this intervention as “the cavalry is here,” expressing hope amidst his current legal battles. The sale of Infowars, currently being overseen as part of Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings, was backed by the families of Sandy Hook victims after their substantial $1.4 billion court win against Jones. Federal Judge Christopher M. Lopez has raised concerns about the secretive nature of the bidding process, which gave Jones a glimmer of hope for reclaiming Infowars. Musk’s involvement is seen by Jones as crucial in his efforts to regain control over his platform. Legal Developments and Reactions Lawyers representing Elon Musk’s company X filed a notice in Jones’ bankruptcy case. Though their interest is noted, specific reasons for it remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, Jones has praised Musk as a staunch defender of freedom, alongside expressing belief that former President Donald Trump is also concerned by this unfolding saga. An Infowars host, Harrison Smith, connected the involvement of Musk and Trump to implications for personal Twitter accounts. Alex Jones confirms that the highest bid for InfoWars at the Federal Auction was not accepted and they chose the lower bid from The Onion instead, likely to make sure he wouldn’t retain control. This shows it’s not about helping the Sandy Hook families, it’s about punishment. pic.twitter.com/ADZx0xfuPR — Autism Capital (@AutismCapital) November 14, 2024 The Onion, known for its satirical content, plans to relaunch Infowars as a parody platform, aimed at mocking conspiracy theorists like Jones. Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, expressed readiness to finalize the sale, despite the ongoing controversy and legal hurdles. Judge Lopez underlined the necessity for transparency in the auction process, which Jones has heavily criticized as a “private, secret sale” and even labeled it a “bankruptcy crime.” BREAKING: The judge overseeing Alex Jones's Infowars case just ordered a hearing into how the Onion won the bidding after Alex's lawyers alleged that the trustee overseeing the auction rigged it at the last minute to allow the Onion to win What they're doing to Jones is… pic.twitter.com/TQpek74EV6 — George (@BehizyTweets) November 14, 2024 Alex Jones’ Position Jones’ economic troubles stem from the defamation lawsuits following his false claims about the Sandy Hook massacre. The auction of Infowars is part of Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings, aimed at settling these legal debts. Despite these pressures, Jones remains optimistic about Musk’s involvement, whom he believes understands critical fundamentals that could benefit the future of Infowars. The Onion has yet to disclose the purchase price for Infowars, which encompasses not just the media platform but also its studio and associated diet supplement business. These developments indicate a crucial phase in Jones’s protracted legal and financial controversies.

What do you imagine when you think about the pyramids in Egypt? Because, odds are, the reality of experiencing these pyramids in person is much different than seeing them online. For example, many people imagine that these massive pyramids are in the middle of nowhere. But despite the fact that they’ve been around for thousands of years, they are actually a whole lot closer to civilization than you may realize. In fact, there are quite a few shops near these magnificent pyramids, many of which are barely a mile away. This is something tourists should be happy to hear — who doesn’t want easy access to a tasty meal while traveling? Still, of all the food options you’d expect in Egypt, the one this tourist spotted was certainly not one of them… @cruisefever Pyramids are still a must see! #Egypt #pyramids #travel ♬ Oh No – Kreepa “Convenience at its best,” someone writes in the comment section of the video, with another adding, “Best of both worlds.” This isn’t the first time this unexpectedly placed Pizza Hut has garnered attention online — and we understand why! There’s something so odd yet amazing about seeing the pyramids and a U.S. fast food restaurant in such close proximity. Tourists in Egypt Share the Reality of Visiting the Great Pyramids in Person @hutravelstheworld Honestly shocked it was so worth it ♬ original sound – Nicole Nina | solo traveler While it may seem odd to have a Pizza Hut so close to this historical site, many visitors agree that it’s an unexpectedly great addition. First of all, the food is said to be surprisingly delicious. Best of all, though, the roof-top dining area is the perfect spot to view the pyramids. In the video above, you can get a peak at what it looks like as the sun sets! “Best place to watch the sunset over the pyramids, trust me,” one person shares in the comments, another adding, “No but fast food abroad is elite. I think it’s because they use slightly different products sometimes locally sourced.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
