Baton Rouge man convicted of killing pregnant girlfriend, child sentenced
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge man who pleaded guilty to killing his pregnant girlfriend and her son was sentenced Tuesday morning. Brynnen Murphy, 23, was sentenced to 40 years plus 40 years plus 15 years concurrently with credit for time served. The sentencing was part of an agreed-upon plea deal. East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said in April that the victims' family was satisfied with the plea deal. 'I'm sorry to the family. I'm sorry to cause them so much pain,' Murphy said in court Tuesday. Murphy pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and first-degree feticide in connection with the deaths of Kaylen Johnson, 24, and Kaden Johnson, 2, ahead of an April trial. He originally faced two counts of first-degree murder. According to an affidavit, Murphy admitted to fatally shooting Kaylen in March 2022 before taking her car to Central Throughway, where Kaden was thrown over the overpass.

Former Baton Rouge mayor criticizes current administration in social media video
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Former Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome posted a video to social media on Monday, June 9, criticizing the current administration of Mayor-President Sid Edwards. Broome discussed the present state of Baton Rouge, but also responded to accusations that she says were made by Edwards. 'Let me be clear. We don't need coaching. We need concerted, courageous leadership and collaboration. We can't afford to leave Baton Rouge with fear and confusion and political calculation. Our city workers deserve stability. Our families deserve certainty. And our community deserves better,' Broome said. According to Broome, Edwards blamed her administration for leaving him with a financial mess. In the video, she called the comments from Edwards 'categorically false,' stating she tried to prevent the creation of the City of St. George. The former mayor-president went on to say that she offered help to the current administration, but officials have not contacted her.

Elon Was Right, Trump Is Compromised and Knows It: Ex-Aide
Even if Donald Trump's not in the Epstein files, Anthony Scaramucci suspects the president's real vulnerability lies somewhere even more alarming. Elon Musk lobbed a bombshell allegation last week that his former pal has previously unknown ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that's why the case files have not been made public. Musk later deleted the post without explanation. Scaramucci, who briefly served as Trump's White House communications director in 2017, told The Daily Beast Podcast he doesn't have the answers, but he believes the Epstein claims are not true. However, he thinks Russia's President Vladimir Putin is the one who holds leverage over Trump. 'Did he go over the line with Jeff Epstein and do something super-malevolent and super-nefarious? I don't believe that's the case, because I think that would have come out. But again, I don't know,' said Scaramucci, a financier and Trump ally-turned-critic. 'But the flip side is, while I'm saying that to you, I believe there is kompromat on Donald Trump,' he continued. 'I don't know what it is. We all used to say, 'OK, what is it? What is the hold that Vladimir Putin has on this guy?'' Scaramucci said it defies logic that Trump would show such deference to a leader like Putin, whose power on the world stage is waning amid economic strain and a faltering war effort in Ukraine. 'He's in a trainwreck situation at home, and yet he owns the president of the United States,' he said of Putin. 'How does he own the president of the United States? You tell me. He has to have something on him, OK, that we don't understand.' He speculated that the Kremlin could have gathered compromising material on Trump in the '80s and '90s during his prime years as a real estate mogul. He appeared to be alluding to long-standing but unverified claims that the KGB sought to recruit Trump as a Russian asset in the '80s. 'Not a pee pee tape,' Scaramucci suggested, but 'something that would be too much for Trump, even Trump himself, to deal with.' Scaramucci dismissed the idea that Trump is soft on Putin because he admires authoritarian leaders, saying Trump only cares about himself. 'It's bulls--t,' he said. 'Trump doesn't love authoritarians. He loves himself, OK? And he would not be kowtowing to Putin, sitting in the biggest economy with the biggest military.' 'He would be shoving Putin, but he doesn't shove Putin because they got something on him,' he added. The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. No evidence has emerged publicly to support the idea that Russia possesses compromising material on Trump, and Trump has explicitly denied ever having worked for Russia. But Trump's long history of praising Putin, avoiding direct criticism of the authoritarian leader and downplaying election interference, has fueled questions for years.
