Emilie Kiser case sees new police report allegations on husband's actions before son's drowning
The report includes allegations about what Emilie's husband, Brady Kiser, was doing at the time of the incident.
On May 12, Brady was at home caring for Trigg and the couple's newborn son, Theodore, while Emilie was out with friends. Brady told investigators he lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes while tending to the baby, later finding him in the family's backyard pool. Trigg died six days later in the hospital.
The CPD report, citing video evidence, states Trigg was unsupervised in the backyard for over nine minutes and in the pool for about seven. It also alleges Brady was watching an NBA playoff game and placed a $25 bet shortly before the drowning.
The report notes discrepancies between Brady's statements and the video evidence, concluding he 'was not aware of what [Trigg] was doing and was not watching him.'
Despite the CPD recommending a class 4 felony child abuse charge, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said on July 25 there was 'no likelihood of conviction.'
Emilie successfully petitioned the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County to seal two pages of the CPD report, citing concerns that the content could be used for 'disturbing' online material, including AI-generated reenactments.
Court filings reveal more than 100 requests have been made for public records related to the case. Emilie's legal team argued the redactions were necessary to protect her family's privacy while keeping the core legal issues public.
A source said Emilie's sealed personal declaration offered 'an intensely personal account of her grief and trauma' intended solely for the court's understanding.

Lil Yachty slammed over George Floyd lyric previewed during livestream performance
Rapper Lil Yachty is facing widespread criticism after previewing a song on streamer PlaqueBoyMax's channel that included a controversial lyric referencing George Floyd, whose 2020 death in Minneapolis police custody sparked global protests. During the August 14 livestream, the Atlanta-born artist — real name Miles McCollum — rapped, 'Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd,' while others in the room nodded along. The line, which appeared to make a sexual joke using the circumstances of Floyd's killing, quickly drew sharp condemnation across social media. 'This is so ass dawg. You can do better than this,' one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another asked, 'Mocking one of the most horrific deaths in American history… Why green-light an ignorant bar like this?' Several commenters compared the lyric to past rap controversies, including Lil Wayne's 2013 Emmett Till reference and his 2009 Rodney King lyric, while others called Yachty 'one of the worst rappers' to reach mainstream success. Stephen Jackson calls out Lil Yachty over George Floyd lyrics: "Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd" -Lil Yachty — SAY CHEESE! 👄🧀 (@SaycheeseDGTL) August 15, 2025 Stephen Jackson, a former NBA player and close friend of Floyd, was tagged in multiple posts criticizing the lyric. One commenter wrote, 'We do not support bunk gibberish like this in the community. All blessings to King George Floyd, his family, and everyone against this disrespectful nonsense.' Floyd, 46, died after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for over nine minutes during an arrest. The incident, captured on video, prompted nationwide and global protests against police brutality and racial injustice. As of Thursday, Lil Yachty had not publicly addressed the backlash, adding to the ongoing debate about accountability and boundaries in music lyrics.

Gilbert Arenas denies role in illegal gambling ring after arrest
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has broken his silence following his arrest on charges related to an alleged illegal gambling operation in Encino, California. Arenas, 43, was arrested on July 30 and later released on a $50,000 bond. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Arenas danced down a staircase, saying, 'They can't hold me,' and captioned the clip, 'I'm back on the streets 🗣️ This ain't got shyt to do with me. Just rented the house. Wasn't apart.' Im Back on the Streets 🗣️This aint got shyt to do with me ' just rented the house' Wasnt apart — Gilbert Arenas (@NoChillGilZero) July 31, 2025 According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Central California, Arenas and five others are accused of running a high-stakes illegal poker ring out of a rented mansion. The charges include one count of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, one count of operating such a business, and one count of making false statements to federal investigators. Arenas pleaded not guilty, and his trial is set for September 23. The indictment also names Yevgeni 'Giora' Gershman, an alleged Israeli organized crime member, who is accused of recruiting young women to serve drinks, offer massages, and provide companionship during the poker games. Organizers reportedly took a cut from the women's tips and the game pots. Arenas' attorney, Jerome Friedberg, urged the public to respect Arenas' presumption of innocence, saying, 'He has the same right as any other citizen.' This isn't Arenas' first controversy involving card games. In 2009, he was suspended from the NBA after a locker room incident involving guns and a gambling dispute with teammate Javaris Crittenton. The case has once again put the former All-Star under legal scrutiny as federal prosecutors prepare for trial.
