Case dropped: Trans woman who used Florida Capitol restroom as protest 'glad to be free'
A transgender woman who was arrested after visiting a women's restroom at the Florida Capitol as a protest has had her case dismissed after prosecutors dragged their feet in bringing formal charges. Marcy Rheintgen, 21, of Illinois, was arrested March 19 on a charge of misdemeanor trespassing after going inside the restroom on the second floor of the House Office Building in an apparent act of civil disobedience. She wrote Florida lawmakers beforehand saying exactly when and where she would arrive. She also spoke out against the GOP-backed bill that passed in 2023 making it a crime for someone to enter a restroom 'designated for the opposite sex' in certain public buildings. 'I'm just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong,' Rheintgen wrote in the letter. After her arrest, Rheintgen was booked into the Leon County Detention Facility, where she spent the night in a solitary cell. She was placed on pretrial release the next day. According to court records, the case was assigned for diversion about a week after the arrest. But that's not what ended up happening. On June 18, Assistant Public Defender Theodore Summers filed notice that the 90-day time period for a speedy trial had expired. He also filed a motion asking for Rheintgen, who never waived her right to a speedy trial, to be 'forever discharged' of the crime. 'Although the state indicated that an information was filed at the pretrial hearing on June 11, 2025, it has not been docketed ... nor has a copy been served to counsel,' Summers wrote. 'Counsel emailed the state that same day asking for a copy and did not receive a response.' According to court records, Assistant State Attorney Chapman Evans did file an information against Rheintgen. And while it was dated June 16, it wasn't electronically filed until June 18, after the speedy trial period had lapsed and about 40 minutes after the defense asked to have the charge dropped. Leon County Judge Lashawn Riggans dismissed the charge in an order signed June 20 in chambers. Rheintgen told the Tallahassee Democrat on June 29 that she was 'shocked' the case was dropped and thought the state intentionally set it up for dismissal. 'I think they messed it up on purpose because they knew this was bad publicity for them,' Rheintgen said. 'And they were scared of what could happen, like politically, that this would just cause a bunch of political blowback, which I think it would if I went to jail.' Evans did not immediately respond to an email from the Democrat asking why the state didn't proceed faster. Capitol Police and the State Attorney's Office referred to Rheintgen by her male birth name in court documents. However, both the Public Defender's Office and Judge Riggans referred to her as 'Marcy' and explained why in footnotes. 'The American Bar Association (ABA) has passed a resolution encouraging the respectful use of language, which includes respecting an individual's gender identity, preferred name and pronouns, which this court honors,' it says. Rheintgen said she was glad the charge was dropped and noted she had been 'really scared' about being prosecuted. 'I'm so glad to be free,' she said. Contact Jeff Burlew at jburlew@ or 850-599-2180.

Friends who discovered Idaho murder victims reveal eerie omen before the massacre
The college friends who found four University of Idaho students dead in a bloody crime scene just steps off campus have broken their silence — years after the slayings and weeks before the suspect's trial. Hunter Johnson, now 24, and Emily Alandt, 23, were called to the house at 1122 King Road on Nov. 13, 2022 by two surviving roommates, identified in court documents only as DM and BF. Johnson and Alandt's names were also redacted, but they broke their silence in an interview with People over the weekend and are both expected to appear in an upcoming documentary about the case. Johnson was staying at Alandt's off-campus apartment the night of the murders and told the magazine he had an unusual gut feeling to lock their door that night. It was something he usually didn't think about, he said. Pennsylvania Residents Fight Subpoenas In Bryan Kohberger's Idaho Murder Case "That's something I've never done in my life there," he told the outlet. "There was no noise. I don't know why, but something in my soul told me that I should go lock my door." Read On The Fox News App That was at 3 a.m. An hour later, an aspiring criminologist named Bryan Kohberger allegedly crept into the victims' home up the street and killed Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. The suspect agreed to a surprise plea deal in the case, two sources told Fox News Digital Monday – sparing him from the potential death penalty and the families the trauma of a trial that was expected to stretch on from August until November. DM saw a masked intruder but did not call 911 until hours later. Instead, she waited for him to leave, then ran downstairs to BF's room. It was DM who asked Johnson to come over when they woke up.

"Then you realize the gravity of what you just walked into. At that moment, you don't really realize what you walked into until you really look at it and process it." What they entered was a bloodsoaked and brutal crime scene. All four victims had been stabbed multiple times by what authorities described as a large knife, likely a Ka-Bar. At least two were believed to have been asleep at the start of the attack.

By Dec. 19, authorities had secretly identified Kohberger, then 28, as a suspect — based on DNA recovered from a knife sheath under Mogen's body. They also allege his white Hyundai Elantra is the suspect vehicle. They arrested him on Dec. 30 at his parents' house in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Kohbeger had driven home cross-country with his dad riding shotgun ahead of the Christmas break. At the time of the crime, he was studying for a criminology Ph.D. in Pullman, Washington, 10 miles from the University of Idaho. Kohberger's trial was set to begin in August. He could have faced the death penalty if convicted of any of the four counts of first-degree article source: Friends who discovered Idaho murder victims reveal eerie omen before the massacre

Jeremy Allen White faced 'pressure' when Bruce Springsteen movie trailer was released
Jeremy Allen White could barely stand it. White, star of the hit FX series 'The Bear,' braced himself for the day the 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' trailer came out. 'Getting that out, it was so much pressure,' said White to Jimmy Fallon on the June 26 'Tonight Show.' 'You're playing a real person — never mind Bruce Springsteen — and I was really touched (when) the trailer came out. I had more texts than when I blacked out and won that Golden Globe (for 'The Bear').' White won Best Actor in a comedy series in 2023, and part of his acceptance speech was bleeped out due to profanity. White won a Golden Globe for the third time for 'The Bear' in January but did not attend the awards ceremony as he was filming 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' in New Jersey. The trailer for 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,' which features White as Springsteen singing 'Born to Run' on a concert stage, was released on June 18. 'I didn't realize trailers were that big of a thing but, yeah, I'm breathing easy,' White said. 'People are really nice about the trailer and I'm excited.' 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,' from Disney's 20th Century Studios, is written and directed by Scott Cooper ('Crazy Heart,' 'Hostiles'). The film also features Jeremy Strong ('Succession') as Springsteen manager Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Springsteen's father, Douglas; and Odessa Young as love interest, Faye. The film, based on the book 'Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska' by musician Warren Zanes, is scheduled to be released in theaters Friday, Oct. 24. Location filming began in New Jersey Oct. 28, 2024, at the Montclair Library's Bellevue Avenue branch. Shoots took place in Asbury Park (including the Stone Pony and Frank's Deli), Freehold, Rahway, Bayonne, Denville, Rockaway and the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford for the 'Born to Run' concert scene. White does his own singing in the film. The Boss was often on the set of filming in New Jersey. The fourth seasons of 'The Bear,' which airs of Hulu, was released June 25.
