Prosecutors allege Karen Read drunkenly struck her boyfriend with her Lexus SUV and left him to die in the snow. Read's defense contends there was no collision. They have cast her as the victim of a cover-up, alluding to a conspiracy by those who they say killed O'Keefe and framed the defendant, while painting the police investigation as biased and flawed. Read has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death. 00:45 - Source: CNN Vertical Trending Now 15 videos Karen Read's father speaks to CNN about daughter's trial A jury is deliberating the fate of Karen Read.

Prosecutor: Man facing death penalty in deputy's killing did not give statement to police
The man facing the death penalty for killing a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy did not give a statement to investigators after he was arrested, prosecutors said. Rodney Hinton Jr. appeared Wednesday, June 18 for a pretrial hearing in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Among the issues discussed was the numerous motions that have already been filed by Hinton's attorneys − including a motion to suppress Hinton's statement to police. Judge Jody Luebbers asked Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Kip Guinan if Hinton even gave a statement to police. "Not as far as I know," Guinan responded. Hinton, 38, is now being represented by a second attorney, James Bogen, who was appointed to the case by Judge Jody Luebbers. Bogen will assist Clyde Bennett II, who was hired by Hinton and his family. Prosecutors say Hinton intentionally drove his car into Deputy Larry Henderson on May 2 as the officer was handling traffic control for a University of Cincinnati graduation ceremony. Bennett has previously indicated that he will pursue an insanity defense for Hinton, who Bennett said was not in his right mind that day. Hours before the incident, Hinton and other family members had been shown body camera video of Hinton's son being fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer. Hinton's trial is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026. The next pretrial hearing is set for July 9.

FBI Tells iPhone Users 1 Text Message to Delete Immediately
The FBI has issued a new warning for iPhone users regarding a text-message scam that has been bombarding users lately. According to Forbes, messaging attacks on iPhone and Android are up more than 700% this month. One malicious text that has been making the rounds involves bad actors posing as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and demanding money for unpaid tolls or fines at the threat of possible loss of license or jail time. These DMV texts are more dangerous than the previous unpaid toll messages that have been popping up on people's phones for more than year, according to Guardio. 'These scam texts lead to phishing websites designed to steal people's credit card information and make unauthorized charges," Guardio told Forbes. Last week, WREG reported that the FBI is investigating the scheme. FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Palmer told WREG that the DMV messages are a "copycat" of the toll scam. 'It costs next to nothing for them to use these algorithms to send these messages and calls out, but in return, they can achieve getting your personal information, putting malware on your phone, which then can go in and steal information from your device, or collect your payment information,' Palmer said. Palmer added that upon receiving one of the texts, he immediately picked up upon wording clues that gave away that it was a con. 'A couple of things that I noticed immediately, on it, is the text message I received said it was from the North Tennessee Department of Motor Vehicles. So you know, obviously, there is no north or south Tennessee, a red flag immediately and also looking at the sender, the message I received was from email address @ obviously that is not a government address,' Palmer said. The FBI added that real government agencies will not contact you in this manner. The organization also advises any users to not click on links they receive in text messages from unknown sources and to delete the texts "immediately." This crop of DMV scam messages have been reported around the country, including Tennessee, Arizona, New York, Minnesota, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington D.C.
