After Indictment by #GreeneCounty #GrandJury., East Tennessee man Jesse Wilhoit, 36, set to be tried for gruesome #machete murders of parents

The state plans to seek life without the possibility of parole in an upcoming #DoubleMurder trial over the deaths of 68-year-old Ray Allen Wilhoit and his wife 60-year-old Cassandra T. Wilhoit.

Late last year a 911 phone call recording was released after crime in which the suspect confesses and provides motive, accusing his parents of forcing his children to engage in sordid sex acts with men.

Judge upbraids prosecutors for handling of DC surge cases

A federal magistrate judge has angrily accused top Justice Department prosecutors of trampling on the civil rights of people arrested during President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement surge in the nation’s capital. Judge Zia Faruqui said Thursday that leaders of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office have tarnished its reputation with how they are handling the cases. He said Pirro’s office is routinely bringing cases that don’t belong in federal court and needlessly keeping people in jail for days while they evaluate cases. He made his remarks during a hearing at which he agreed to dismiss the federal case against a man accused of threatening to kill Trump while in police custody.
