In a significant turn of events in his colossal $10-billion defamation suit, President Donald Trump has been granted the opportunity to amend his complaint against the British Broadcasting Corporation. A Florida judge allowed this adjustment but hinted that it might inadvertently benefit the BBC. Despite Trump’s hopes for evading financial discovery, the judge tempered expectations regarding his new strategy’s ability to accomplish that.
Trump’s legal maneuvering sought to pivot the lawsuit away from business damages and concentrate solely on reputational damage. The BBC has charged that this is a blatant bid to keep “sensitive” material under wraps, especially concerning the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust’s urgent request to shield confidential papers detailing tax information, ownership, and finances across about 400 business entities. Nonetheless, in a brief order issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Roy Altman acknowledged Trump demonstrated “good cause” to revise his legal suit.
Known for his connection to Trump, the judge mentioned last week that a “careful review” influenced his decision to halt a discovery deadline in consideration of Trump’s motion to adjust his complaint. Altman concluded that only after the discovery process, primarily jurisdiction-related, Trump’s legal team acquired “good cause” knowledge to integrate facts indicating the BBC’s documentary, “Trump: A Second Chance,” reached audiences in Florida.
Judge Altman elaborated, “The Plaintiff contends that he satisfies Rule 16(b)’s good-cause requirement because he didn’t have the information he needed for his proposed amendment until after the deadline had expired.” The records confirm the timing of these findings supported Trump’s case modification.
Altman pointed to the “facts” that the BBC’s “own data reflect at least 34 successful play starts attributed to Florida, and that the BBC received contemporaneous notice that its geo-blocking was failing.” Earlier in the case, the BBC sought dismissal for lack of jurisdiction because the defendants “did not create” the documentary “in Florida, produce [it] in Florida, or air [it] in Florida.”
Overall, Trump has alleged that the documentary harmed him by editing together “excerpts from different points” of his Jan. 6 speech from the Ellipse out of sequence, even though, by the BBC’s own admission, it “unintentionally created the […] mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.”
“The injury to President Trump’s personal reputation inflicted by BBC and its efforts to wrongly portray President Trump as a violent insurrectionist has caused him to suffer, and continue to suffer, overwhelming reputational harm,” Trump’s amended complaint reads. “Exacerbating the damages, Defendant made its false, deceptive, malicious, and defamatory depiction of President Trump in bad faith, motivated by malice and ill-will against President Trump without any regard for the truth, and contrary to information Defendant possessed that showed its depiction to be false, or, at minimum, should have raised, and did raise, serious doubts that the depiction could possibly be true (which it was not).”
But if Trump’s lawyers thought “simply” focusing on the “reputational injury to the President, full stop” would make discovery concerns vanish entirely, the judge said that “won’t necessarily” be the case.
“The BBC also writes: ‘[The] Plaintiff’s proposed amended Complaint is futile because it cannot even secure him the goal he seeks: avoidance of financial discovery.’ We agree in part and disagree in part with this assertion,” Altman said. “We agree that an amended complaint won’t necessarily obviate the need for certain financial disclosures—especially since the amended complaint retains the Plaintiff’s original $10-billion damages demand. But we disagree that the Motion’s potential futility as it pertains to this discovery issue is the kind of merits-based futility Rule 15 is primarily concerned with.”
“In any event, we think the Plaintiff’s proposed amendment will, in some respects, help the BBC,” Altman added later, explaining that Trump’s decision to drop business-related claims “represents a substantial diminution in the scope of the available damages.”
That’s even more true when you consider the new complaint “removes several contested allegations, not to mention two defendants,” and streamlines the case in a way that “allow[s] the BBC’s re-filed motion to dismiss to focus more squarely on its most important arguments,” the judge said.
Regardless, Trump faces a formidable burden as a public figure who must prove actual malice.
Trump’s team maintains that a “damning and recently leaked BBC internal whistleblower document” will help them show the BBC “intentionally used the Panorama Documentary to maliciously, falsely, and defamatorily make it seem that President Trump explicitly called for violent action and rioting.”
“[C]oncerns about the Panorama Documentary were raised internally before its dissemination, but the BBC ignored those concerns and did not take corrective action,” the complaint alleged.
The post Trump’s detour to avoid discovery of finances in own lawsuit will actually ‘help’ his opponent in a ‘substantial’ way: Judge first appeared on Law & Crime.
As they approach the remarkable milestone of their 50th wedding anniversary, Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw offer a glimpse into the secrets of their enduring marriage, their spiritual journey, and more in a candid interview.
“Every decade, every significant moment, each birthday, and every celebration has been cherished,” Robin, who is now 72, shares exclusively with Us during a joint conversation with Dr. Phil. “Reaching this anniversary is a monumental achievement for us, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
Dr. Phil, 75, along with Robin, offered insights into the principles they’ve embraced to ensure a lasting marriage.
“Consider this: what small act can you perform today to brighten your partner’s life? These actions don’t need to be grand to make a significant impact,” he advises. “The accumulation of small gestures yields substantial outcomes over time — it’s about focusing on your partner’s needs rather than your own.”
Many celebrities have experienced marriages that span over half a century. Take Dolly Parton, for example, who was wedded to Carl Dean from 1966 until his passing in 2025 at age 82. Thank You!

Dr. Phil continues: “A lot of people would be well served if they got out of themselves and focused on their partner more.”
In addition to celebrating their marriage milestone, Dr. Phil and Robin are also still focused on their careers — and their philanthropic work.
“We also certainly intend to rack up some more years as being husband and wife and parents and grandparents,” Dr. Phil tells Us, while Robin adds, “Our No. 1 priority is being parents to our children and being grandparents to our grandchildren. I think a celebratory future is what we’re looking forward to.”
Keep scrolling for Dr. Phil and Robin’s candid conversation with Us about their early days as a couple, their lives now out of the spotlight and what they are looking forward to next:
How do the two of you feel as you prepare to celebrate 50 years of marriage?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: I get so emotional. I hope I don’t cry through this entire process because it’s been it’s very, very beautiful time for us right now. I’ve talked about it almost for the last year because I do believe it’s a huge milestone and we’re really very proud of ourselves.
Dr. Phil: It’s overwhelming when you talk about it because I don’t feel like I’m old enough to be married 50 years. I don’t feel any different than I felt when I was 50. So how could I be married 50 years? It’s really flown by.
Take Us back to when you started dating. How did you meet?
Robin: Oh, good. I love this question.
Dr. Phil: I really wish you hadn’t asked that question.
Robin: We met because he has a sister that I went to high school with. We’re the same age, [but] we weren’t best friends. We knew each other, we really liked each other and we [crossed paths] after we graduated.
She told me she was now dating a man that is a pilot from the Air Force base in our town. She said, “He has a roommate, so why don’t I hook you up with him and we have a double date?” I go to her house to go get ready, but this pilot they’ve hooked me up with gets weathered in somewhere, so I don’t have the date.
She said, “Well, Doug and I — and she did go on to marry him, so he is now our brother-in-law — will have a quick dinner and I’ll come home. You just chill.” The last thing she said was, “Oh, but by the way, you have to be really quiet. My brother is in town and he’s been really sick.” I said, “I didn’t even know you had a brother.”
I go to the kitchen to get a bottle of water and there sits this brother in the family room. The TV is on and I walk through, and he goes, “Who are you?” So we didn’t really start off on a real friendly note, but he said, “Would you like to sit down and watch this movie with me?” I said yes and we’ve been together ever since.
Dr. Phil: I didn’t say it quite that harshly.
Robin: He was very grumpy. I actually asked him, “Are you always this grumpy and rude?”
Dr. Phil: Well, we went out the next night.
Robin: He asked me out the next night. It was our first date and we’ve been together ever since.
Did you know right away that the other person was The One?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: As much grief as I’m giving him about that first night we met, it was love at first sight for me. I knew right then I was going to marry this man. I knew that first night because underneath that big bear was a teddy bear. He was rough and gruff and not very friendly, but I knew he was just a teddy bear. He was really sweet.
Dr. Phil: I was sick. What can I tell you? I had a man cold.
But I have to say that when she first came through, I thought, “Am I delirious? This doesn’t happen.” I’m just sitting here in the den and she comes walking through. I thought there’s got to be something destined here, so I did ask her out. The next night we just went walking around …
Robin: Here it comes. We’ll never agree on this part.
Dr. Phil: We walked right past the church, and just as we’re at the sidewalk that leads straight into the double door, she said, “How do you feel about marriage?” And I looked at those doors to the church and I looked at her and I thought, “You mean right now? Did you lead me here to this sidewalk to the church?” I thought, “Holy God!”
Robin: It did not happen on that first date. It happened on the third date.
Dr. Phil: Bulls***. It was the first date.
Robin: It was the third date and I was serious. I knew I was going to marry him. I needed to know how he felt about marriage because I didn’t want to waste my time or I needed to know how much work I had in front of me because I was going to marry this man.
You got engaged on Valentine’s Day and married six months later. Were you just excited to finally be husband and wife?
Dr. Phil: Apparently, we made the right decision because it’s been 50 years and we’re still together, have two grown sons and four grandchildren.
Robin: Being a grandparent has caused us to be what I call in the dessert phase of our life. It’s truly the most beautiful phase of our life. It’s like having dessert every day.
What do you remember about your wedding day?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: We laugh about it now because we were very poor. We both grew up poor, but we created our wedding ceremony for ourselves. We have a wedding picture that we were looking at earlier and my wedding dress cost $100. I had to put it in layaway back then and pay $5 a week for it. He’s wearing a white tuxedo and I still kick myself, like, “Why did I put him in a white tuxedo?” I’m thinking maybe it was because it was less expensive than renting a black one.
We got married in the chapel of the church. We had a little reception where we had punch and cookies. But we couldn’t really afford a photographer, so we just had friends and family take the photos.
Does the date hold any significance?
Dr. Phil: Before we got married, I said, “Look, I’m in psychology. You can do nothing with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, you have to at least get a master’s degree so you can practice.” I said, “At least let me get my master’s degree so I can put a roof over our head.” So I got my master’s degree on August 14, 1976. We got married August 14, 1976. I didn’t waste a minute.
What about your honeymoon?
Dr. Phil: We took a honeymoon and we wound up that night in Juarez, Mexico, at Club Campestre Juarez. It was, like, a 6,000-square-foot room. It had, like, five bedrooms.
Robin: But then we got to California and part of our honeymoon was to go to The Price Is Right show and we did. We still have the little name tags that you wear. Then many years later, Philip had the honor of presenting Bob Barker …
Dr. Phil: When he retired, I was there. We didn’t get picked for contestants back in the day or we were on the list.

Have you considered having another ceremony 50 years later?
Robin: We haven’t actually thought of that. Why haven’t I put you in a beautiful black tux and bought a dress instead of putting one on layaway? But we just haven’t. We haven’t really felt like it’s necessary to do that because we’re so proud of our 50 years. We celebrate every anniversary with a wedding cake. It’s just been our tradition.
I’m really proud of that one ceremony and how it has progressed.
Dr. Phil: Her wedding dress was $100 and $315 for her wedding ring. But I see people spend millions on weddings and they last a year. We spent less than $500 bucks on everything and it’s stuck for 50 years. So pretty good Return on Investment.
What have been some of the biggest challenges you’ve navigated together?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Dr. Phil: Every relationship has challenges and it’s how much you invest in something. Probably the scariest moment in my whole life was when our second son, Jordan, was 12 and he got diagnosed with a really bizarre and rare cancer in the shin of his leg. They had to do an operation and put in artificial bone. … That was probably the most scared and helpless I’ve been in the 75 years of my life.
Robin: There’s nothing more challenging than to face an ordeal or a trauma with your children. When our first son was born, he was just 3 weeks old and he had to go in for surgery because his stomach was slowly growing shut … and he was not getting nourished.
How has your faith helped bring you even closer together during these times?
Robin: We both have a very, very strong faith and we do rely on that every day — in trauma and in joy. It’s very important to us to have our faith with us. I’ve always believed that whatever we’re going through — good or bad — it is because of God’s love. That’s part of a plan and so we question nothing.
Dr. Phil: It’s been really important to raise our boys in a faith-based home. I’ve always tried to emphasize that with both of them — through prayer and conversation — and we raised them up in the church and now they’re both fathers.
I’ve been so proud of the way they’ve stepped up and you see generational legacy carried out.
After you got married, Dr. Phil’s star was on the rise. How did you navigate that success as a couple?
Robin: I’ve always thought that Philip was brilliant, and when he had this opportunity to take on this new experience in life, I was all for it. I was thrilled. We all were because we thought you needed to share what you know and who you are with the world.
Being in the public eye obviously leads to outside opinions. What is the biggest misconception people who don’t know you have about you as a couple?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Dr. Phil: It’s not fun for anybody, but I’ve never been one of those people that needs to be loved by strangers. It doesn’t mean that you don’t notice it, but we’ve had so many stories written about us. I was identified as a marriage and family [specialist] and all that kind of stuff. There were probably 50 to 100 stories written about us getting a divorce. And here we are, 50 years married. We’ve never even been separated. We’ve never even spoken the D-word in our lives. Never, ever, for even one second.
Robin: The only time I’ve been to a courthouse is because I was the national spokesperson for CASA [Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children]. But for me to go to the courthouse was not ever because of this man.
The only problem with it for me was the photos they would choose to use. It was like, “Can I not get a good photo? Do they have to pick these photos?” I’ll never forget the one time I got a good photo, I made the best dinner that night.

What would the outside world be most surprised about when it comes to you as individuals and your marriage? What does a typical Friday night look like for you?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: A Friday night for us is he works really hard all day. He plays tennis in the evenings and we have a tennis court in our backyard in our Dallas home. He’ll come in and we order food that we enjoy from a restaurant in town — I don’t cook anymore. I cooked for 40 years and I don’t cook that much anymore.
But he has the food apps on his phone. He’s tried to put them on my phone, but I refuse because I don’t want to be responsible for getting the food that we’re going to eat in the evening. He has to do that.
Dr. Phil: We really enjoy our home. We have friends that we love to spend time with and we love being home alone too. We stay busy, but we’re pretty much homebodies. We still have our home in Beverly Hills and we have a home here in Texas. But you’ve never seen us on a lot of red carpets because that’s just not something we really do. We’re always invited and we graciously decline.
If we go out, we may go nowhere.
What about for your anniversary?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: He is taking me to Paris for our anniversary.
Dr. Phil: Well, the pressure is on. It’s been 50 years. But we enjoy each other’s company and we enjoy being at home. Right now we have a cat farm after we actually started feeding some community cats around here. At one point, we had 16 cats coming over to get fed.
Then we realized this is going to get out of control. So we captured them all and had them all spayed or neutered. But we’ve got, like, five cat dishes in a row outside and water. We have to put heaters out there in the winter to keep them warm and fans out.
And you are still working?
Dr. Phil: Yes. Everything now is moving so much in the digital direction. I have a linear network, Envoy TV, but you know, everything is moving so much in the digital direction, so we’re very active on all the streamers. It’s just growing so fast. I thought that it would go well. I had no idea it would go as well as it’s going. So it’s just been amazing.
Robin, what has been the best part of joining your husband on this professional venture?
Robin: I’ve always said I was there to support him and the entire show, so I didn’t really have a role there. I wasn’t some expert that was a part of the show. I really went there as a support for him. So if I was on the show, it was because I was just there as a woman, a wife, a mother, a grandmother. So if I contributed in any way, it was so that I could just be myself.
Dr. Phil: I think she’s really understating her role. A big part of my demo has always been women — mothers and wives — and Robin has always been my feminine side. She has been one of the most important voices and ambassadors in fighting domestic violence from the standpoint of women and children. So to say she didn’t really have a role other than just kind of be there to cheer me on, there are a lot of people — including me — that would disagree with that. She has played a vital role in developing the Dr. Phil brand and making sure that it was balanced from the feminine side and being a leading voice in the fight against domestic violence.
Dr. Phil, after spending your career helping couples, is there one piece of insight you picked up?
Dr. Phil: [Going back to Robin’s advocacy], the opportunity to take her wisdom forward and share it with others is what makes it all worthwhile. Robin has been a vital part of that and I’ve learned from it. That’s why I’m not quitting.
I feel like I have things left to say and I hope when people look at us — we don’t hold ourselves out as some paragon of mental health or marital bliss — but I do think having gotten together and stayed together for 50 years and raised kids that went through it all and became good fathers and husbands, it’s maybe a place for people to look and say, “You can do this, and you can make it pay off. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”
I hope we can be good role models in that regard. Not that we’re perfect, because we’re not. We don’t strive for perfection. But I hope that we give people some hope that there’s something out there to strive for.
You are still just as booked and busy.
Dr. Phil: My career … I get to do it. I don’t have to do it. It’s not something I have to do. So I look forward to it every day. And Robin supported me in everything I’ve ever done. That’s no small deal. That is no small deal to have a partner that supports you in everything you do.
If you could go back and give your younger selves one piece of relationship advice, what would it be?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Robin: The advice I would give to my younger self is probably not [to] carry into what worked in my childhood, expecting it to work in my marriage. I was a bit spoiled or pampered growing up. So pouting worked for me. If I didn’t get my way or didn’t get what I wanted, I just pouted and my father would give in right away.
I thought it would work with my husband and it did not work with him. He just couldn’t tolerate it. He said, “If I do or say something that upsets you — within reason — I promise you that if you just tell me, I will never do it again.”
Dr. Phil: I would tell myself to be more patient, because patience is not my strong suit. Professionally, I am patient. Personally, I don’t have patience. I want everything done right now. I would be more patient and I would probably be more outgoing because I’m very, very shy.
People often ask about the “secret” to a lasting marriage. Is there something you try to implement in your marriage?
Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw
Dr. Phil: In a marriage, you get out of it what you put into it. If you wake up every day and say, “What can I do today to make her life better?” It doesn’t have to be buy[ing] her a new car or send[ing] her flowers.
Like, there are certain things — and I don’t know if it matters as much to her as it does to me. But there’s something about her sitting in front of dirty dishes. I think she should have better than that. So I will clear those away if I go by and see it. That would just make things better if she had a nice clear space.
Thank You!

Robin: A secret that I truly believe has worked for 50 years is we had a lot of conversations before we got married about what kind of marriage we wanted to have. We got really vulnerable and we got real. In those conversations, I learned what buttons I could push to upset him or make him mad. I learned those buttons and I choose every day for 50 years not to push those buttons. I [made] a choice every day for 50 years not to do that.
Dr. Phil: I came from a very dysfunctional family — [an] incredibly dysfunctional family. So I just like peace.
Robin: So when you know what’s going to upset your partner and you do it anyway, that’s not good. I know what makes him happy and I choose to do that.
Coi Leray has lit up the New Year with an exciting revelation: she is expecting her first child.
The 27-year-old star, celebrated for her track “Players” and known for her stunning Catwoman ensemble last Halloween, will be welcoming a baby with fellow rapper Trippie Redd, who is 25.
Leray took to Instagram, where she boasts 7.6 million followers, to share her news. On January 1, she posted, “I’m a rock star mommy. we ready for 2025,” signaling her enthusiasm for the journey ahead.
Her announcement was accompanied by a carousel of photos, showcasing two intimate shots with her boyfriend. The couple rekindled their romance in August 2024, after having a previous romantic stint back in 2019.
The two had previously briefly dated in 2019.
In a pair of outtakes, Coi wore a pair of baggy Chrome Hearts jeans with the brand’s cross logo embroidered in black.
Coi Leray kicked off the New Year with a pregnancy announcement with the star expecting her first child with on-again boyfriend Trippie Redd,
She wrote to her 7.6 million Instagram followers on January 1, ‘I’m a rock star mommy. we ready for 2025’
She added a lacy black and beige bra top while showing off her growing belly.
The star’s long, jet black hair was styled in a side part as it tumbled over her chest.
Trippie, real name Michael Lamar White IV, looked excited as he cozied up to his girlfriend in an all-black outfit.
His shoulder-length, locked, bright red hair spilled around his face as he cradled his lady’s bump.
Coi, who in the past has been teased over her tiny frame. also shared a POV picture of her bump via Instagram Stories, writing, ‘I’m over 4 months. I’m just small as hell of course.’
This will be each of the performer’s first child, despite White previously announcing that he had fathered a son in late 2023.
After taking two paternity tests, he later learned that the child was not his, according to a report from TMZ.
The news was accompanied by a carousel of images, including two loved-up snapshots with her boyfriend, who she rekindled with in August 2024

Coi also shared a POV picture of her bump, writing, ‘I’m over 4 months. I’m just small as hell of course’
Over a year ago the rap artist announced online that he had become a father, naming the child Saint Michael White.
Additionally, he released an EP named after the baby.
He even went as far as cancelling a tour in order to spend time with the newborn.
But by April 2024, Trippie unveiled the truth of the matter during a conversation with fellow hip-hop star DDG, who had recently welcomed a child with his now-ex, singer Halle Bailey.
Redd revealed that he took the DNA test at the urging of his mother, who had a hunch that something wasn’t right.
Who doesn’t appreciate a refreshing night’s sleep? Indeed, it’s something we all crave.
As the sweltering summer heat relentlessly lingers, finding ways to stay cool is a real priority. That’s why when the Martha Stewart Cooling Sheet Set appeared on Amazon with discounts as steep as 46%, it definitely piqued our interest.
Crafted from cotton percale, this bedding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality too. The sheets offer a natural cooling effect, they’re breathable and gentle on the skin, all while being free from any harsh chemicals. Martha Stewart herself likens them to the feel of a “crisp button-down shirt.”

Numerous reviewers have been so enamored that they’re purchasing the sheets in multiple sets. One long-time enthusiast shared, “I’ve been a fan of these sheets for years,” delightedly adding, “They just get softer with each use and never pill.”
Another satisfied buyer exclaimed, “These sheets are incredibly soft!” After washing and drying them before use, they noticed no shrinkage. They marveled at the continued softness, declaring, “I’m definitely buying them again!”
A third concurred about the quality, simply saying: “You always get a better quality product offered by Martha Stewart.” (Having tried her skin care line, we’d have to agree on that.)
The cooling sheet sets aren’t the only Stewart-branded home designs on sale right now, as we also spied great discounts on the below bedding and bath finds — plus plenty of the company’s cookware.

Lawyers representing Alex Murdaugh are leveling serious accusations against the lead investigator in his murder trial, claiming he misled the grand jury with false evidence. In light of these claims, they’re urging a judge to throw out the charges.
On August 7, Murdaugh’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss, alleging misconduct by David Owen, the principal agent from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division who handled the case. They claim Owen’s testimony to the grand jury was both inaccurate and misleading, describing his actions as a clear case of prosecutorial misconduct.
The attorneys for Murdaugh have indicated that more details on the alleged misconduct will be provided in upcoming legal filings.
“This motion is based on evidence that the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division’s lead agent in this case, David Owen, presented false physical evidence claiming to directly incriminate the Defendant before the Colleton County Grand Jury. Owen conceded this evidence was fabricated, a fact that the Defendant has since proven,” according to the statement by Murdaugh’s legal team.

His attorneys also filed a motion to transfer the venue of Murdaugh’s new murder trial to Charleston County, arguing that an impartial jury cannot be found in Colleton County, stating, “this prosecution has generated publicity without precedent in the history of this State.”
Rather, they argued that a change to nearby Charleston County would “preserve the values of a local trial while curing the local prejudice.”

The motions come ahead of a pretrial hearing scheduled for Friday.
Murdaugh, formerly a prominent Lowcountry attorney from an influential legal dynasty, was convicted in March 2023 of fatally shooting his wife and son, Maggie and Paul.

The murder case descended into chaos when allegations that court clerk Rebecca Hill made inappropriate comments to jurors while the trial was ongoing.
While prosecutors believe Murdaugh got a fair trial, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the convictions and ordered a new trial.
A courageous paddleboarder has recounted his intense encounter as he valiantly battled to protect a swimmer from an alligator’s fierce attack on a Florida river.
Mike Head was enjoying a day on the water with his family when he noticed the reptile charging toward a woman like a torpedo in the Silver River, located in Marion County, as he detailed to Fox 35.
When he arrived at the scene, the alligator had already clamped its jaws around the woman’s arm, prompting him to use his paddle in an attempt to fend off the creature, he explained.
Mike Head used his paddle to fight off an alligator as it attacked a swimmer in the Silver River in Marion County, Florida, on Saturday. Head was out on the water with his wife and kids when he spotted the reptile heading toward the victim. Fox 35
“I couldn’t swing because I risked hitting her head from where I was positioned, so I maneuvered to the other side,” Head recounted.
“Once in place, I swung, unsure if I made contact with the gator or not. I just know that it vanished immediately after,” he added.
The woman was then pulled to the shore with the help of another boater and Head said that when he tied her bleeding wound off with a rope, she turned to him and said “Tie it tight”.
Relatives told Fox 35 the victim is back at home recovering and in good spirits despite having her right arm amputated.
In a grim case that has shocked the community, a young boy allegedly tortured by his mother and her two transgender partners succumbed to blunt force trauma to the head. Authorities have not discounted the possibility of sexual assault.
During a press conference held on Tuesday in Cincinnati, unsettling details about the tragic demise of William Michael Evans-Ellis were revealed by coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco.
William was discovered lifeless at his residence in Cincinnati last week. His mother, Kaitlin Evans, 38, along with her transgender partners, Nessa Keaney and Kirby Rankin, both aged 23, now face murder charges.
Dr. Sammarco, the coroner for Hamilton County, emphasized that due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, they are unable to dismiss the possibility that William may have been sexually assaulted before his death.
Authorities claim the young boy was subjected to torture inside a home in Oakley, where he was found deceased on Thursday, stirring distress and outrage within the community.
The trio were co-parenting the youth prosecutors said in court last week after they were arraigned over the death of William.
Hamilton County court records seen by the Daily Mail indicate that both Keaney and Rankin are biological males. Evans is the boy’s biological mother.
According to WLWT, prosecutors said in court that there was evidence to show that William was being abused for over two months by the trio.

After police entered the property, prosecutors said they found him in a closet where he had been bound and duct-taped.
It was claimed that despite neglecting and torturing the boy, they managed to take a dog of theirs to a vet to be vaccinated the day before his death.
Investigators said the boy suffered visible injuries which included ‘indicated physical beatings’ over his body.
He also suffered impact injuries to the back of his head and had been water tortured for a period of time and was badly burned, investigators said.
An attorney for Evans claimed that she did not cause the death of her son, saying that one of the others caused his death but did not name either Rankin or Keaney.
Her attorney did say in court that she had failed to save her son, and pleaded with the judge for a $250,000 bond.
Prosecutors asked for a $1 million bond on the murder charge and a further $500,000 on a child endangerment charge. The judge sided with the prosecution.
The boy’s other biological parent, who was not identified, was given the chance to address her in court, telling her: ‘I trusted you.’

According to Fox56, they also said that William had been kept away from them ‘over lies’.
A lawyer for Keaney said she had failed to ‘administer treatment’ for the boy’s injuries which were allegedly ’caused by somebody else.’
Her attorney requested a $200,000 bond, prosecutors pushed back saying that Keaney failed to inform the authorities of the abuse. Her bond was set at $1 million.
Attorneys for Rankin requested an evaluation, saying she suffered from ‘documented serious mental health issues’.
The judge agreed, with Rankin to be back in court for the results at the beginning of next month.
A detective who was part of the investigation said that Rankin disclosed her own involvement in the abuse and implicated the two others as being involved.
Her bond was set at $1 million on the murder charge, with another $100,000 secured for the child endangerment charge.
A detective said the case was ‘one of the most disturbing examples of child abuse’ that he had ever seen in his two decades of work.
The trio are next back in court on August 17. All of them are on suicide watch inside Hamilton County Jail, Fox19 reported.

In Ohio, the mother of a 7-year-old boy and two co-parents face murder charges following a family investigation by the child’s grandparents, who suspected abuse. This tragic case has captured national attention, highlighting the ongoing issue of child welfare.
According to Cincinnati police, Kaitlin Evans, 38, along with her co-parents Kirby Rankin, 33, and Nessa Keaney, 23, have all entered pleas of not guilty concerning the death of young William Evans. This development has sparked community outrage and calls for justice.
Discrepancies have emerged in how authorities document Kirby Rankin’s gender; while the Hamilton County jail and Municipal Court refer to Rankin as male, Cincinnati police records list Rankin as female.
Police records and 911 dispatch details reveal a disturbing sequence leading from a call to the Mercy Rookwood emergency room to a Cincinnati apartment. It was there that officers discovered William bound and unresponsive in a closet, a heartbreaking scene that underscored the severity of the charges.

The sequence began when a charge nurse called 911 to report that a barefoot woman had entered the emergency department, dropped to the floor and said someone was trying to kill her and had taken her son.
The nurse told the dispatcher the woman claimed her son was being held in the attic of a nearby apartment.
FOX19 NOW reported that the woman identified herself as William’s mother and named Rankin as the partner she accused of trying to kill her and taking the boy.

Police were sent to the hospital and the apartment for a welfare check, according to radio traffic and computer-aided dispatch records. An officer reported that a juvenile boy was in a closet and “not moving.”
A dispatch entry also stated that a child was “found tied up in closet.” Dispatchers then asked fire personnel to expedite their response, records show.

Cincinnati police said officers found William unresponsive inside the residence and that Cincinnati Fire Department personnel determined he was dead.
FOX19 NOW reported that Cincinnati homicide Detective Kyle Smith testified in court on Friday that William had been severely beaten over the previous two months, calling the case “probably one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse” he had encountered during decades in law enforcement.
Smith told the judge investigators believe William was held underwater for a prolonged period. He also said Rankin disclosed her involvement in what he described as a prolonged child-abuse incident and implicated Evans and Keaney as active participants.
Rankin’s attorney sought a competency evaluation, citing what the attorney described as serious mental health issues.
William’s grandparents, Mike Evans and Tina Evans, told WLWT they feared their grandson’s home had become a “house of horrors.”
The grandparents said William, who regularly spent Fridays and many Saturdays with them, told them about six weeks before his death that he did not want to return home.

They said Kaitlin later restricted their contact with William. Mike and Tina said they saw him once during the final six weeks of his life and noticed a bruise on his shoulder. That visit, nearly four weeks before William’s death, was the last time they saw him.
Mike and Tina said they met with an attorney alongside William’s other grandparents and hired a private investigator to monitor Kaitlin and William. Mike said relatives feared both William and Kaitlin were being abused.
He said he rented a car Thursday intending to watch the home but arrived to find police vehicles outside. A detective then told Mike that William had died and Kaitlin was being questioned downtown.

Zach Holland, an amateur golfer boasting a 2-handicap and a former player at William Carey University, has resigned from his seat at WingHaven Country Club. This decision follows the revelation of security footage capturing him fabricating a hole-in-one during an exclusive members-only event at the O’Fallon, Missouri course.
Speaking candidly in a Friday interview with “The Morning After” show on 101 ESPN St. Louis, Holland acknowledged his misconduct to club authorities. He also shared the unfortunate backlash his wife and two young children experienced after the incident came to light.
“When you engage in something as foolish as I did, consequences are inevitable,” Holland remarked, reflecting on his actions.
Holland confessed to placing his golf ball in the hole on the par-3 fourth hole even before the event had commenced, an event that featured a prize for a hole-in-one. He then misled his fellow players with his false claim.
“What I did was inexcusable,” Holland admitted, expressing deep regret. “There wasn’t any rationale behind it—just pure foolishness. Even though we were giving two shots back to the field, it’s not a justification. There’s no excuse for my actions.”
After completing the first three holes with his group, Holland told his playing partners he needed to take a personal phone call, allegedly regarding his ill grandmother — and that he would tee off on the fourth hole ahead of them and meet them later on the green.
Holland eventually returned to the group and explained that he “thinned” his tee shot, but wasn’t sure where the ball landed.
That’s when his group found the ball in the cup and celebrated what they believed was a hole-in-one by Holland.
Security footage reviewed by WingHaven staff showed Holland driving near the fourth green before his scheduled tee time, resulting in him confessing to the fake hole-in-one and resigning from the club.
“I made a bad decision, and I have to suffer the consequences,” Holland said. I’m trying to move forward as best I can and it’s been rough.”
He added that he’s worried about his family, who’ve been collateral damage due to backlash from his actions.
“I made a terrible mistake,” Holland said. “The lack of moral character — I can take the banter and the chatter and the heat because I deserve that from a golf perspective.
“What I am most worried about is my family. … It’s not fair to them for me to put them in that situation where when they walk through a room, there is a stigma there that your dad is a [cheater]. So questions that they may get asked or be getting asked down the road, that’s the worst part. The golf is secondary.”
Nathan Charnes, the acting PGA of America president and general manager at WingHaven, said that the club “promptly addressed the matter” and the incident is closed.
“WingHaven Country Club is aware of the recent attention surrounding an incident involving a former member during a Club event,” Charnes told GOLF.com. “The Club promptly addressed the matter.
“We care deeply about the integrity of the game and the experience we provide for our members and guests. Because this situation involved the actions of an individual and has been resolved, we consider it closed and have no further comment.”
