Taylor Swift Sparks Speculation with Eye-Catching Ring at Friend’s Wedding

0

Taylor Swift debuted her stunning new wedding ring while attending a wedding ceremony with her husband, Travis Kelce, showcasing their newlywed glow.

The couple was among the guests at the nuptials of ex-Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk, which took place at the picturesque Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Orange County, California on Friday.

Their attendance came just a week after they celebrated their own $50 million wedding extravaganza at the renowned Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The 36-year-old music icon and the NFL star, also 36, appeared publicly for the first time as a married couple, and cameras caught the enchanting sparkle of Swift’s wedding ring during the outdoor celebration.

One striking photograph captured Swift placing her hand over her heart as the couple shared their vows, her impressive ring gleaming. In additional shots, the large gemstone caught the sunlight as she embraced guests and enjoyed a glass of champagne.

The pop star complemented her new rock with a strapless pink brocade Markarian gown retailing for $4,115, finished with her signature red lip. Meanwhile, Kelce cut a sharp figure in a gray suit.

The pair walked into the ceremony hand in hand, still basking in marital bliss.

The wedding ring was an addition to the old mine brilliant cut diamond engagement ring which Kelce used to pop the question and which is valued between $550,000 and $1 million.

But it appears the Miss Americana star is still a bit shy about showing off her new bling so soon after her own celebrity-studded wedding.

Swift and Kelce jetted off from the Big Apple to the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, where they enjoyed ‘complete privacy’ over the July Fourth weekend and the following days.

They were spotted arriving in California on Thursday after Swift’s private jet flew from Montana to Hollywood Burbank Airport. Daily Mail footage captured dozens of umbrellas opening to shield the couple as they disembarked the plane. 

The pair then entered a convoy of vehicles that appeared to whisk Swift and her new husband to her Beverly Hills mansion, located 15 miles away. 

Smith-Schuster’s wedding is expected to be just a brief interruption in Swift and Kelce’s romantic honeymoon adventures. 

After celebrating the former football player’s nuptials, the couple is reportedly set to continue their honeymoon tour, with Greece and a wider European island-hopping getaway rumored to be on the itinerary. 

Speculation has continued to swirl over the details of their lavish wedding celebration at the legendary Manhattan stadium, including what exactly the couple exchanged at the altar. 

Last week, Sophie Lomax, Head of Design at Austen & Blake, shared her predictions with the Daily Mail.

‘We predict Taylor will likely choose a yellow gold wedding band to match her engagement ring. This warm, traditional metal is an enduring symbol of love and commitment,’ Lomax said.

‘Her engagement ring will likely determine her chosen karat, as it’s recommended that the two rings match,’ she added.

Lomax explained that the band may be vintage inspired to match her engagement ring.

‘Taylor’s engagement ring features beautiful detailing on the yellow gold band. It adds a romantic, almost whimsical touch to the design,’ the design head said.

‘A vintage-inspired wedding ring usually echoes these features with intricate designs and classic details that capture the romance of bygone eras,’ she added.

‘They’re ideal for those who appreciate historical beauty and rare styles. These rings offer a distinctive and enduring symbol of love.’ 

Swift and Kelce partied late into the night for their ‘rehearsal dinner’ with 100 of their closest friends, including Hadid, her partner Cooper, Selena Gomez and Jack Antonoff.

The following day, they exchanged 20-minute vows in front of a star-studded guest list that included nearly all of Kelce’s Chiefs teammates last week, though Page Six had previously reported that the couple had already married.

Their 1,000-guest ceremony came almost one year after they announced their engagement on Instagram last August, with the caption reading: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’

Kelce proposed in an intimate garden setting at his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. They kept the engagement private for about two weeks before the public reveal. 

Unlike her new wedding ring, Swift proudly showed off her engagement ring, a vintage-inspired old mine brilliant-cut diamond designed by Kelce alongside Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City. 

Experts previously estimated the ring’s value to be anywhere between $1.3 million and $5 million. 

According to Lubeck’s bio, the Neptune Beach, Florida-born jewelry designer is ‘a goldsmith, hand engraver, and vintage jewelry collector’ who now creates one-of-a-kind pieces in Manhattan.

In an interview with UK’s Heart radio station last year, Swift gushed about her ‘hardware upgrade’ and explained that she had shown Kelce a video of the designer back in 2024.

‘I had shown him a video [that] I just thought was so cool. I had shown him a video a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything, it turns out,’ the Opalite singer explained.

Swift revealed that she was left ‘gasping’ the moment she first saw the sparkler.

‘When I saw the ring, I was just, like, [gasping],’ she shared during the show. ‘I was like, “I know who made that! I know who made that! And also, you listen to me.” He did amazing, it was, like, “You really know me.”‘ 

‘I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex,’ she added. 

Since then, their romance has captivated fans around the world, with Swift supporting Kelce through two Super Bowl runs while the NFL star has traveled alongside her during her wildly successful Eras Tour. 

Texas DoorDash driver completes delivery despite being struck by fleeing suspect’s vehicle

0

Doing whatever it took.

In a dramatic twist to an already tense situation, a persistent DoorDash driver in Texas managed to complete her food delivery just after an encounter with a robbery suspect engaged in a high-speed police chase through local neighborhoods.

The delivery person, who remains unnamed, had parked near her customer’s residence in Houston’s Greater Greenspoint area on a Wednesday afternoon, with police sirens echoing nearby, as shown in footage provided to KRTK.

She exited her car with the customer’s order clutched in one hand, only to witness a silver sedan barreling down the street toward her, forcing her to quickly retreat to the side of her vehicle.

Even though she tried her best to avoid the speeding car, the suspect’s vehicle collided with her own before knocking her onto its hood.

The suspect, identified as Torrance Whitaker, raced out of his car towards the other side of the street, leaving the woman to gather herself alone.

The woman picked up the order that had been tossed onto the road and ran to the sidewalk as several police cruisers chased Whitaker.

As chaos rang through the neighborhood, the delivery driver nonchalantly walked to the front door of her customer’s home and dropped off the order.

“It’s amazing how the girl just delivered the food. I asked her if she was okay, and she said she was okay,” neighbor Lily Portillo told the outlet. “She needs a big tip. I really hope somebody finds her and hope she’s okay.”

Police launched a manhunt through the neighborhood looking for Whitaker, as one officer returned to the scene to check in on the woman.

“Yeah, I’m good,” she told the concerned officer.

The woman didn’t break any bones but was left in a lot of pain after the crash, the outlet reported.

She was looking into filing a claim against Whitaker’s car insurance for the damage to her vehicle.

She also filed a complaint against Whitaker with the Houston Police Department, alleging Torrance “unlawfully, intentionally, knowingly, and recklessly caused bodily injury” to her, according to court records viewed by The Post.

Whitaker, who was wanted for burglary, jumped over fences and through several homes’ yards before he was eventually stopped by a Houston Police K-9 unit.

Whitaker was charged with felony evading arrest and aggravated assault on the DoorDash driver, according to court documents viewed by The Post.

The Post has reached out to DoorDash.

U.S. Extends Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians Amidst Ongoing Community Challenges and Protests in Chicago

0

CHICAGO (WLS) — The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced on Friday the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians by two weeks, while Syrians were granted a brief one-week extension.

TPS provides individuals escaping natural disasters, conflict, or persecution the ability to live and work legally in the United States.

ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7. Click here to watch

The Obama administration first designated Haiti for TPS back in 2010 following a catastrophic earthquake. Syria was added to the list two years later as the country grappled with the onset of its civil war, which concluded in 2024.

The TPS for both Haitians and Syrians was originally scheduled to expire this past Friday. The impending expiration set off nationwide protests, including significant demonstrations in Chicago, home to large Haitian and Syrian populations affected by the looming loss of their legal status.

The new expiration dates for TPS are now set for July 24 for Haitians and July 17 for Syrians.

Affected individuals are at risk of deportation and may have already lost authorization to work and other privileges, including the ability to hold a driver’s license. Many of the hundreds of Syrian immigrants who call the Chicago area home are living in fear after losing their TPS protections.

ABC7 spoke with community leaders earlier Friday, before the extension was granted.

With TPS ending, affected individuals are at risk of deportation and may have already lost authorization to work and other privileges, including the ability to hold a driver’s lice

“There is a high level of frustrations, fear and uncertainty,” said Ali Tarokh, development, and communications director for the Syrian Community Network.

Tarokh said families are unsure what comes next.

“People are in limbo and they don’t know what’s going on to happen to them. So, the level of stress is high within our communities,” he said.

Nationwide, more than 6,100 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians could be impacted. In Illinois, about 260 Haitian families are affected following a federal ruling last month by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, which sided with the Trump administration’s efforts to end TPS for immigrants from several countries.

Darryl Auguste, a member of the Coalition of Haitian American Organizations in the Chicago Land Area, said the impact extends far beyond those directly holding TPS.

“And also, when we say effect, it’s not just core effect, the actual Haitians with TPS, but the ripple effects regarding these mothers who have children, who are citizens, they are affected by that. Those children. So, it’s more than what we say in terms of numbers of just 350,000 across the nation. It’s much larger than that,” Auguste said.

According to the U.S. State Department, both Haiti and Syria remain under a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory. Advocacy groups say there has already been an uptick in immigration enforcement activity, prompting warnings for those who have lost TPS to prepare for possible encounters with authorities.

“We definitely advise folks to put together a family preparedness plans, make sure that they have, you know, their paperwork, all of their documentation in order,” said Fred Tsao, senior policy counsel with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrants and Refugee Rights.

Despite the uncertainty, advocacy groups say there is still hope. They are urging lawmakers to act on Senate Bill 4814, introduced last month, which would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for TPS through January 2029. A similar companion bill has already passed the House with bipartisan support.

Taylor Swift Wardrobe Malfunction Steals the Spotlight at Former Chiefs Star’s Wedding

0

Taylor Swift experienced a wardrobe slip-up in a striking pink gown while attending the wedding of former Chiefs player JuJu Smith-Schuster alongside her husband, Travis Kelce. 

The renowned 36-year-old Grammy awardee was seen with the NFL star, who is also 36, a mere week following the couple’s exchange of vows before a crowd of 1,000 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

Swift and Kelce were among the attendees as Smith-Schuster married Laura Kruk at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, located in the heart of Orange County, California.

Video from the event captured the Love Story singer socializing with other wedding guests at the expansive location, adorning a strapless pink dress featuring floral accents and a voluminous skirt. 

During a moment of conversation, the music icon suddenly lifted her hands to her chest in reaction. 

She then gripped the sides of the ensemble to move the neckline higher up before briefly resting her hands on her chest again to check the dress was secure.

‘The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.

‘They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,’ Paine shared.

‘This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.’

Paine also revealed that Swift did not have bridesmaids and the NFL player did not have groomsmen for the ceremony.

‘Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.’

Swift’s wedding gown designer Jonathan Anderson recently broke silence on bringing the dress to life and working with the songstress for her special day.

‘It was a joy to work with her. We became very good friends,’ he recently said during an interview with WWD. ‘It’s an emotional thing doing someone’s wedding.’

AMC CEO, Adam Aron, had been a guest at the nuptials and had given details about Swift’s dress in a since-deleted post on X. 

He said that the bride had worn a white wedding gown with a ‘long, veiled train’ and added the ensemble had been ‘stunning.’ 

However, some Swifties have voiced frustration that the performer has yet to share pictures of the dress.

Venezia Secures €16M Transfer Agreement for Super Eagles Striker Adams

The Italian Serie A team, Venezia, has finalized a deal with Sevilla to acquire Nigeria’s international striker Akor Adams for a reported €16 million, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

This transfer marks a significant advancement in Adams’ career, following his resurgence in Spain after initially facing challenges in La Liga.

Move follows impressive turnaround

Adams transitioned to Sevilla from the French outfit Montpellier, but his early days at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium were difficult, marred by injuries that hindered his adaptation to the Spanish league.

However, the 26-year-old striker bounced back impressively in the 2025/26 season. He played a pivotal role for Sevilla, netting 10 league goals and providing three assists across 32 matches, thus cementing his status as one of the club’s dependable forwards.

His impressive performances caught the eye of several European clubs during the summer transfer window, and it was Venezia who acted swiftly to secure his services.

The Italian club have now reached a full agreement with Sevilla, with the transfer expected to be completed once the remaining formalities are finalised.

Venezia strengthen attack

Venezia view Adams as a key addition to their squad as they prepare for the 2026/27 Serie A campaign.

The club believe the Nigerian forward’s physical presence and goalscoring ability will strengthen their attack and improve their chances of competing in the Italian top flight.

For Adams, the move offers another opportunity to continue his development in one of Europe’s leading leagues after successfully overcoming the injury setbacks that affected the early stages of his spell in Spain.

The Super Eagles striker will also hope consistent performances at club level improve his standing in the Nigerian national team ahead of future international competitions.

If the transfer is completed as expected, Adams will become one of Venezia’s biggest investments in recent years, with the club banking on his recent form to justify the €16 million fee and make an immediate impact in Serie A.

California Burglary Bust: Suspects Allegedly Snap Selfies During $100K Heist

In a separate case in California, two men face accusations of stealing over $100,000 in goods, including tools, copper wire, and vehicles. Remarkably, authorities report that the suspects documented their alleged crimes by taking selfies during their burglary spree.

The stated thefts took place at a business located in American Canyon on July 6, as confirmed by the American Canyon Police Department.

Police responded to an emergency call reporting a burglary in the 1100 block of Green Island Road, swiftly arriving on the scene to investigate.

Authorities arrested Daniel Lemas, right, and Dennis Tylij

Investigators identified two vehicles connected to the burglary and shared the information with neighboring law enforcement agencies.

The following day, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office stopped one of the vehicles and detained the driver, who was identified as Daniel Lemas, 53, of Hayward.

Police said evidence recovered during the investigation included selfie photographs allegedly showing Lemas committing the burglary.

Lemas was arrested on charges of burglary and booked into the Napa County Department of Corrections on multiple felony charges stemming from the investigation.

On July 8, the Hayward Police Department stopped the second vehicle connected to the burglary and detained the driver, identified as 49-year-old Dennis Tylij of Hayward.

After responding to the scene, American Canyon police arrested Tylij, who was booked into the Napa County Department of Corrections on a felony conspiracy charge.

Investigators later executed a search warrant at a home in the 3200 block of Arden Road in Hayward, where they recovered some of the stolen property.

According to The California Post, Lemas has since posted $25,000 bail and was released from custody, while Tylij remains jailed.

Giants Bullpen Stumbles Once More in Defeat to Rockies

0

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ bullpen often finds itself in trouble, even when things seem under control. A recent matchup against the Rockies continued to illustrate this pattern.

On Friday night, the Giants were just one inning away from securing a victory dominated by their bullpen against a fellow National League West rival. This would have marked their second such triumph in a week’s time.

Yet once more, their plans unraveled just shy of crossing the finish line.

Dylan Smith managed to regain his footing in a subsequent appearance. After allowing a decisive three-run homer in Colorado just five days earlier, Smith impressively navigated through a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the seventh inning, marking one of the most remarkable relief efforts by a San Francisco pitcher this year.

Later, Rafael Devers delivered a pivotal hit, granting the Giants a narrow lead late in the game. This had all the makings of a redemption tale for one of the league’s most beleaguered bullpens.

Turns out, there’s a reason these relievers aren’t considered reliable.

Tasked with closing out the one-run advantage, Caleb Kilian allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, including a walk to pinch-hitter Troy Johnston, and allowed all three to come around to score in what turned out to be yet another agonizing loss, 4-3.

It was only made more painful by the false hope in the bottom of the ninth. Colorado closer Jordan Romano issued three walks, a confusing play went in the Giants’ favor upon video review and Rafael Devers made it a one-run game with his third RBI of the night.

But, even after Cole Carrigg was shown conclusively to have trapped a line drive off the bat of Casey Schmitt to load the bases with one out, Bryce Eldridge grounded out on the first pitch he saw from Romano’s replacement, Juan Mejia, who earned a one-pitch save for getting out of the fraught situation.

Dylan Smith escaped an even stickier jam, entering with the bases loaded and nobody out in the sixth, but four clean innings, it turned out, was too much to ask of this group of relievers. 

That, however, was the situation manager Tony Vitello was facing when he came out to get Robbie Ray with nobody out and the bases loaded in the sixth inning.

Ray walked the first three batters of the inning, finishing five-plus innings with six in total, setting up Smith to enter just about the stickiest situation imaginable.

But, against all odds, he got Tyler Freeman to pop out on a first-pitch slider, worked his way back from a 2-0 count to strike out Willi Castro and benefited from the glovework of Luis Arraez, who cleanly fielded a sharp grounder off the bat of Mickey Moniak for the third out.

Kilian, on the flip side, pitched himself into trouble he couldn’t escape. He was handed the loss and a blown save, his third in 11 opportunities. He has allowed nine earned runs in his past six appearances, raising his ERA to 4.74 from 2.97 before his last blown save.

Last week at Colorado, Giants relievers had limited the Rockies to just one one over seven innings in the final two games of the series before Smith served up a three-run homer to Kyle Karros in their 7-6 loss. Once again, the dam proved incapable of holding.

What it means

Falling to 3-5 against the NL West’s perennial bottom feeders, the Giants have now lost as many games to the Rockies this season as they did in 2024 and 2025 combined (21-5).

Who’s hot

Devers was responsible for all of the Giants’ runs, leading off the second with his 19th home run of the season to put them ahead 1-0, and finished 3-for-3 with an intentional walk and a sacrifice fly.

The solo shot, which he golfed onto the arcade in right field, was his 17th homer in his past 58 games dating back to May 6, when he hit his third of the season. At the time, Devers was on pace for just 14 over 162 games.

Now, if he can slug one more in the next two games, he would become the first Giants hitter since Barry Bonds to go into the All-Star break with at least 20 home runs.

Who’s not

Ray continued to limit runs, yielding three or fewer for the sixth time in his past seven starts to lower his ERA to a rotation-best 3.38, but the way he got there was concerning.

He put six runners on base via walks, including the first three batters he faced in the sixth. Shockingly (or not), it was still one away from a season-high seven back on May 24.

The left-hander struggled to land his pitches for strikes most of his time on the mound, finding the strike zone on only 53 of his 100 pitches, and it eventually caught up to him.

Ray threw only one strike to each of the three batters he walked to begin the sixth.

The one walk by Kilian, however, came back to hurt them the worst.

Up next

Tyler Mahle will try to complete five innings for only the second time in four starts since returning from a hamstring strain. It will be a rematch from the last time he took the mound, also against the Rockies, who got to him for four early runs in an eventual 7-6 loss last week at Coors Field.

Surprising Early Rate Cuts on the Horizon: The Hidden Twist Revealed

0

If you’re one of many affected, you may not even be a Telstra subscriber. The network’s disruption this Wednesday caused a dip in their share price, impacting many.

Nevertheless, what shook the share markets more was the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, a factor that drove oil prices up and foreshadows higher fuel costs in the coming weeks.

In brighter news, the Australian sharemarket celebrated the debut of a new company, marking a successful entry.

Additionally, a major bank in the country now forecasts that interest rates could drop sooner than anticipated, contingent upon an initial rise.

Petrol prices rise, but less than feared

Meanwhile, Australian motorists are feeling a pinch from the government’s move to scale back the temporary reduction in fuel excise.

The national average price of unleaded petrol rose by 3.2 cents a litre during last week to just under $1.63 a litre.

While prices increased, the rise was far smaller than the 16 cents a litre experts feared after the fuel excise discount was halved.

Lower global oil prices initially negated the impact, but the renewed conflict in the Middle East this week saw Brent crude rise again, approaching US$80 ($115) a barrel.

This increases the likelihood that fuel prices could jump in the coming weeks, despite higher fuel shipments in June this year compared with June 2025.

Rate cuts coming earlier, but more hikes first

Westpac now expects the first RBA rate cut to come in 2027 instead of 2028, bringing it into line with the other major banks.

However, chief economist Luci Ellis still believes the Reserve Bank will need to lift interest rates twice before then because inflation risks remain.

The former RBA assistant governor says inflation was high before the war, and while some businesses are passing on higher fuel costs, other factors are contributing to it like stronger prices for electronics because of AI demand.

For borrowers, it means mortgage rate uncertainty is unlikely to disappear any time soon.

Telstra’s network outage woes hit investors

While Telstra customers and businesses were disrupted by the network outage on Wednesday, its shareholders also took a hit.

Shares tumbled 3.3 per cent since the outage took place.

The company is one of Australia’s most widely held stocks, with many investors likely to have a direct stake following its first float in 1997, while others would have exposure through their super funds.

Australia’s biggest IPO of the year attracts investors

Construction company FDC Consolidated became Australia’s biggest IPO of the year after raising $400 million.

Its shares surged 17 per cent on debut on Thursday before closing more than 12 per cent above the offer price on day one and adding another 3 per cent on day two.

It’s suggesting investor appetite for new listings remains high following record demand for SpaceX, which was the first time Australian retail investors got access to a major US company in a Wall Street IPO.

The challenge however is to attract more companies to list on the Australian sharemarket, with only 17 added to the boards this year.

Judge Tyler Robinson Criticized for Controversial Delay in Charlie Kirk Trial

0

The decision by a judge to delay ruling on whether to proceed with a trial for Tyler Robinson, the individual accused of attempting to assassinate Charlie Kirk, has ignited frustration and raised eyebrows.

Following a five-day series of pre-trial hearings to establish probable cause, Utah District Judge Tony Graf announced that he would postpone his decision regarding Robinson’s trial until September 1.

Many had expected Judge Graf to declare his decision at the end of the final hearing on Friday. However, in a swift legal filing, Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, urged the judge for a ‘prompt’ ruling, citing what she termed ‘overwhelming evidence.’

Both the prosecution and defense teams requested additional time to review the hearing transcripts and prepare their briefings. Consequently, Judge Graf has scheduled another hearing, set for nearly two months from now.

Joshua Kolsrud, a lawyer and criminal defense attorney, expressed to The Daily Mail that he found the postponement to be ‘extraordinary.’

‘It is very unusual,’ Kolsrud said. ‘I have never seen a two-month delay on a probable cause hearing decision in my 19 years in law.’

Kolsrud said Graf’s inexperience as a judge, with less than a year on the bench, may have played a role in the hearings ‘taking up so much time.’

‘The judge takes every objection way too seriously,’ he said. ‘Some are clearly nonsense and an experienced judge would be quicker.’

The experienced trial lawyer said he has often seen judges come to quicker decisions at probable cause hearings. They have a lower burden of proof required to move forward than that expected of prosecutors in an actual trial. 

‘These hearings are are really about, ‘how much smoke is there to know if there is a fire?’ And the prosecution clearly met that,’ Kolsrud said.

Soon after Graf concluded Friday’s hearing, Kirk’s widow Erika issued a legal filing urging the judge to come to his determination ‘promptly, based on the overwhelming evidence presented’ by prosecutors. 

‘A prompt determination is imperative in the interest of justice,’ Erika’s attorney Jeffrey Nieman wrote in the filing.

‘The Court is approaching the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. Ten months have passed since the defendant was arrested, and the preliminary hearing has now concluded.’

The ‘overwhelming evidence’ that Kirk’s attorney believed had been laid out by prosecutors included DNA found on the rifle used to shoot Kirk.  

Chief Deputy Utah County Attorney General Chad Grunander told the judge: ‘Your Honor’s heard four days of testimony now.

‘The evidence is overwhelming. It’s devastating.’

Graf’s decision to not find a conclusion on Friday also sparked the ire of conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, who issued a blistering tirade against the judge on her show soon after the hearing ended. 

‘Unfortunately, we will not be getting a decision today on the obvious conclusion that there is probable cause to hold Tyler Robinson over to trial in the case of Charlie Kirk’s assassination,’ Kelly said. 

‘I mean, honestly, despite the mountain of evidence against it, this is a joke that Judge Tony Graff is even indulging this.’ 

Kelly compared Graf to Judge Lance Ito, who famously oversaw the controversial murder trial of OJ Simpson in 1995. 

‘I’m sorry, he’s Judge Ito,’ she said. 

‘I’m over this guy completely. He has no confidence. He seems feckless up there. He seems like he’s terrified to make a decision. This is honestly absurd. Like, grow a pair, Judge.’

At Friday’s hearing, ATF forensic biologist Caitlin Oliver said that the DNA found on the rifle is ‘at least one trillion times more likely to have come from Tyler Robinson’ than anyone else. 

The evidence put forward by prosecutors also included several alleged confessions from Robinson after the assassination on September 10, 2025. 

On Thursday, prosecutors presented video footage of Robinson’s former roommate and transgender lover Lance Twiggs giving a police interview in April, where he alleged that Robinson confessed to him in the aftermath of the shooting. 

Twiggs claimed that Robinson went as far as to tell him he ‘wishes he hadn’t done it.’ 

Twiggs also said in his video testimony that Robinson left him a handwritten note on the day Kirk was assassinated, which read: ‘I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.’ 

The alleged confession note was presented alongside text messages that prosecutors say Robinson sent on the day Kirk was shot, in which he also allegedly admitted to the crime.

After Twiggs’ video statement to the police was played, prosecutors presented text messages allegedly sent between Robinson and Twiggs after Kirk was killed

In the texts shown in court, Twiggs told Robinson he did not believe the confession note, writing: ‘You’re joking right?… You weren’t the one who did it right?’

Robinson allegedly replied, ‘I am, I’m sorry.’

He then allegedly discussed trying to hide the evidence, writing that he ‘planned to grab my rifle’ from a ‘drop point’ near to the shooting scene.

‘If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence,’ he wrote, per the texts.

‘Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything in the news about them finding it. Will update you by midnight.’

Twiggs then asked Robinson how long he had been planning the shooting, to which he replied: ‘A bit over a week, I believe.’

Prosecutors also alleged that Robinson confessed to his parents, and then issued another confession in a chat room on the gaming platform Discord.

He allegedly wrote: ‘Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. I’m sorry for all of this. I’m surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. Thanks for all the good times and laughs.’

Authorities said Twiggs quickly cooperated with investigators and offered his DNA for testing, and this week prosecutors said both Twiggs’ and Robinson’s DNA were found on a towel wrapped around the murder weapon.

From Wedding Wardrobe Mishap to Bridal Bliss: Laura Kruk Stuns in Her Own Gown After Taylor Swift Dress Drama

0

Last Friday, NFL star JuJu Smith-Schuster celebrated a new chapter in his life, exchanging vows in an elegant Californian affair. This came just a week after he attended the nuptial festivities of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, further intertwining his personal life with his sporting network.

Smith-Schuster, known for his time on the field with the Kansas City Chiefs alongside teammates Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, pledged eternal love to fitness instructor Laura Kruk. Their union was marked by a breathtaking ceremony perched atop a bluff, offering picturesque views for their special day.

The couple’s vows were exchanged in the immaculate gardens of the Ritz-Carlton located in the charming harborside town of Dana Point, Orange County. The ceremony was graced by numerous NFL luminaries, including newlywed tight end Travis Kelce and his bride, Taylor Swift.

In an amusing twist of fate, Kruk experienced a wardrobe mishap at the Kelce-Swift wedding the previous week. Nevertheless, she embraced her bridal elegance, carrying an all-white bouquet adorned with orchids, calla lilies, and delicate cascading amaranthus.

For her wedding ensemble, Kruk showcased her platinum blonde hair in a sophisticated partial updo, allowing gentle waves to cascade gracefully over her shoulder. The look perfectly complemented the serene yet sophisticated atmosphere of their intimate ceremony.

For the ceremony, the elegant hairstyle was covered by a dramatic cathedral-length veil featuring ornate floral lace applique edge. 

The 33-year-old was accompanied down the aisle by an entourage of six bridesmaids, who wore matching dresses in a blush tone. 

Smith-Schuster, meanwhile, was dapper in a sharp white suit which he teamed with sunglasses.

The wideout’s pristine white suit jacket featured a romantic promise to his new wife, with the touching message, ‘Till Death Do Us Part,’ embroidered onto the back of his collar in black thread. 

After saying ‘I do,’ the couple turned to their guests, holding their clasped hands up in the air in celebration.  

The newlyweds were later seen mingling with other guests immediately after the ceremony, including Kelce and Swift. 

Guests appeared to be letting their hair down with several including Swift seen enjoying what appeared to be glasses of champagne.

Kelce also appeared to be enjoying the reception, which took place on a terrace at the Ritz-Carlton, and was seen drinking a beer.

Other guests included Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes who jetted in on Thursday with his wife Brittany.

Two-time Chiefs Super Bowl champion George Karlaftis and wife Kaia, who married in May, were also spotted in the crowd

The property is one of the most glamorous in Dana Point, a small coastal city famous for its pretty harbor and for being a jumping off point for whale and dolphin watching tours, as well as ferries to Catalina Island.

The hotel sits on a 150ft bluff and boasts stunning views of the Pacific, as well as the Salt Creek Beach below.

Smith-Schuster and Kruk flashed their new wedding bands to their guests as they posed for photos. 

While Swift and Brittany were captured in deep conversation as they sat next to one another for the dinner, the new Mr and Mrs enjoyed quality time together. 

They sat holding hands at their own secluded table, which was adorned with a beautiful arrangement of colorful flowers. Smith-Schuster and Kruk even appeared to do a shot together at one point during the celebrations. 

Smith-Schuster, who now plays for the New York Giants, and his bride, were guests at Swift and Kelce’s wedding on July 3.

Kruk ended up suffering an embarrassing wardrobe clash during the celebrations. She wore a $795 Sau Lee silky brown dress complete with a floral-detailed corset for the occasion.

However, unfortunately for her, Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson Berard attended the glitzy soiree in the same strapless gown. 

But there was no risk of Kruk enduring a fashion faux pas on her own special day as she glowed in her floral lace gown. 

There were no wardrobe clashes among her guests, either. In fact, Swift and Brittany, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick, appeared to be color coordinating. 

Swift wore a strapless pink brocade Markarian gown retailing for $4,115, and paired it with her signature red lip, while Kelce cut a sharp figure in a grey suit.

Meanwhile, Brittany wowed in a $1,690 high-neck coral gown from Silvia Tcherassi that hugged the mother-of-three’s toned figure.

She accessorized with hot pink heels and a matching clutch, as well as a white fan, which she used to shelter her face from the searing California sun during the ceremony.

Kelce and Mahomes are no longer teammates with Smith-Schuster, with the wide receiver recently leaving the Chiefs to sign for the New York Giants.

However, they appear to have remained close friends with Kelce even celebrating Smith-Schuster’s Giants signing on social media.

Smith-Schuster won a Super Bowl alongside Kelce, back at the end of the 2023 season when the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles, who had Jason Kelce on their team.

After that victory, Smith-Schuster briefly joined the New England Patriots and Kelce was unhappy with the Chiefs letting him leave.

Smith-Schuster only spent a season in New England before returning to the Chiefs.

Newlyweds Swift and Kelce now have an 18-day gap to take a honeymoon before the tight-end must report for training in Kansas City, where the pair spend most of their time.

Last weekend’s New York extravaganza is estimated to have cost $50m and saw the storied music venue transformed into a botanical oasis, complete with groves of trees and pots overflowing with blooms.

The Love Story crooner exchanged vows in a spectacular Dior dress while 1,000 guests showed up to see her tie the knot in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler.

Along with the Swift and Kelce families, big names on the guestlist included Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Karlie Kloss and Ed Sheeran.

Not everyone was invited though: among the notable names left off the list was former bestie Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

Swift is thought to have fallen out spectacularly with the actress, after being dragged into her drawn out court fight with Justin Baldoni, which led to pages of private texts between the two being revealed in court documents.
