The courtroom witnessed a fiery exchange on Friday as a contentious standoff unfolded between defense attorney Kevin Reddington and Dr. Avram Mack. Their animated dialogue became so intense that the judge was compelled to step in and restore order, as both continuously interrupted each other.

Throughout the cross-examination, Reddington’s irritation with Dr. Mack was palpable, his tone escalating with each question.

In a pointed query, Reddington challenged Mack, asking, “Isn’t your primary research focused on adolescents prone to marijuana use and drinking?”

Dr. Mack firmly rebutted the claim with a simple, “No,” standing his ground against the attorney’s insinuations.

Undeterred, Reddington probed further, questioning whether Dr. Mack had “ever been in close proximity to a pregnant woman.”

He challenged the psychiatrist’s experience with women, asking how many he had treated before appearing to accuse him of fabricating his testimony: ‘What are you making this up?’

Reddington brandished a copy of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as he challenged Mack.

He hammered home to the courtroom that postpartum psychosis is not listed as a standalone condition in the DSM, which is widely regarded as the psychiatric community’s diagnostic ‘Bible.’

‘I didn’t write the DSM, so I’m not here to represent it,’ Dr Mack replied as he testified as an expert witness for the prosecution.

Reddington then directed Mack to a section of the manual noting that women with bipolar disorder have an ‘increased risk of mood episodes’ during pregnancy.

Earlier, Mack testified that Clancy had the capacity for criminally responsibility when she ‘methodically’ killed her three children.

He testified that her phrase ‘go to god’ was ‘not only hope for the children but a description of the situation.’

‘The deaths were done one by one in a way that was organized and tended to achieve a particular goal. Her attempt at suicide was also organized in that it included as many methods as possible,’ Mack said.

In a breakthrough in the case, Arizona law enforcement has apprehended a suspect linked to a home invasion that resulted in the death of a Tucson police recruit and left his fiancée in critical condition.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department reported that 23-year-old Carlos Ramirez was fatally shot at his residence in the southwestern part of Tucson early Wednesday morning. Ramirez was on course to graduate from the police academy on August 27 and had previous experience serving with PCSD as a corrections officer. His fiancée, also 23, is currently employed as a corrections officer, though her name has not been released.

Sheriff Chris Nanos of Pima County described how the suspects were dressed in all-black clothing and wore ski masks during the attack, which occurred at approximately 6 a.m.

Deputies arrested Santiago Jorge Rogers, 39, at a hotel on South Palo Verda Road in Tucson on Saturday morning, the sheriff said in a statement. He is being held without bond at the county jail.

Alex James Barnett, 33, remains at large. He has a rap sheet that includes prior burglary and weapons convictions and has also been known as Alex Wilson, according to court records. In December 2024, he pleaded guilty to an unlawful imprisonment charge.

According to FOX 10 Phoenix, he was last seen wearing a red shirt and black leather vest and riding a Harley-Davidson FLHXS motorcycle with the Arizona license plate, DA466.

A search of Pima County courts for prior cases came back empty for Rogers. However, a man of the same name and age has drug and shoplifting convictions in Yavapai County, possession of contraband behind bars in Navajo and Graham Counties, and a number of lesser charges in Prescott.

Surveillance video shows men identified as Rogers and Barnett in black clothing and picking up items at a gas station convenience store about 20 minutes before the shooting.

Hours later, surveillance video taken from a parking lot shows a third man parking the suspect vehicle, a gray Acura MDX SUV, and walking away.

He has not been publicly identified, but the sheriff’s department said Sunday he had been contacted by detectives.

“No arrest has been made as investigators work to determine his involvement,” the department said.

Anyone with information on the case or Barnett’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 or 520-88-CRIME.

After binge-watching Reacher Season 4, you might be yearning for more of Alan Ritchson’s magnetic screen presence. Look no further than his latest cinematic venture, Motor City. This action-packed film is set to hit digital platforms for purchase and rental as soon as tomorrow, giving you another dose of Ritchsonian action.

Helmed by filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli, who recently attracted attention with his 2021 debut now finding its stride on Netflix, Motor City brings to life a script crafted by Chad St. John. This screenplay has remained a remarkable piece of unproduced literature since it debuted on the 2009 Black List, a collection of Hollywood’s most coveted yet unmade scripts. The journey from concept to screen took nearly twenty years, enduring a rollercoaster of potential leads, including Chris Evans, Dominic Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Gerard Butler, before finally settling on Ritchson to carry the film into theaters.

Alan Ritchson steps into the shoes of John Miller, a vengeful ex-con who sets his sights on taking down a mobster responsible for framing him and stealing his girlfriend in the gritty landscape of 1970s Detroit. Joining Ritchson in this crime thriller are Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Lionel Boyce, and Shailene Woodley. According to Foster, dialogue takes a back seat in Motor City, with the film relying heavily on its dynamic action scenes and a gripping soundtrack. Anticipating the epic showdown? Here’s how you can catch Motor City on streaming and when it’s set to land on AMC+.

Motor City movie digital release date:

Starting Tuesday, August 25, at the stroke of midnight Eastern Time—or 9 p.m. Pacific Time on August 24—Motor City will be available for digital purchase and rental across platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and others.

Prices might fluctuate depending on your chosen platform, but on Amazon Prime, you can rent the film for $19.99 or buy it for $24.99. Choosing to rent grants you a 48-hour viewing window after you hit “play.”

The Motor City DVD release date has not yet been announced.

How to watch Alan Ritchson’s movie Motor City on streaming:

Motor City is not currently streaming free on any of the subscription-based streaming services. However, if you don’t want to pay to buy or rent the movie, we do expect to see Motor City streaming on AMC+ eventually, thanks to a output deal between the Independent Film Company and AMC+.

AMC+ costs $9/month. Find out more here.

When will Motor City movie be streaming free on AMC+?

We don’t yet know when Motor City will be streaming on AMC+, but we can guess it will be around late October 2026, based on previous Independent Film Company releases.

One recent IFC movie, Over Your Dead Body, began streaming on AMC+ about three months after it opened in theaters. If Motor City follows this same release pattern, you can expect Motor City to stream on Netflix around late October 2026, aka three months after the movie opened in theaters.

This is all speculation. We don’t yet have the Motor City AMC+ release date. If you don’t want to wait, you can go ahead and buy or rent Motor City online.

In a bold economic measure, Donald Trump has unveiled a comprehensive tariff strategy aimed squarely at Canada, proposing a significant 50 percent increase on specific goods.

“For years, Canada has taken advantage of the United States,” Trump declared in a fiery social media post early Monday. “Starting January 1, 2027, tariffs on all cars, trucks of every size, automotive parts, and steel will soar to 50%.”

“Canada will no longer be treated as another state within our borders. In trade and various other aspects, they rank among the most challenging nations globally. While they act with entitlement, the truth is, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US!”

Trump further accused one of America’s key allies of imposing “outrageously high tariffs” on American farmers, claiming these practices are creating untenable conditions for “our great American Patriots.”

Meanwhile, as of Saturday morning, new U.S. tariffs have already been inflicted on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, impacting a wide array of imports. This includes items such as hockey equipment and wine, all subject to substantial rate hikes.

The ongoing US tariffs target a range of Canadian goods: lumber, steel, aluminum, alcohol, dairy, clothing, textiles and more.

The president’s latest economic salvo fired at the US’s northern neighbor comes days after a major trade agreement between the two nations fell through. 

‘We’re going to hit back,’ Carney said following Trump’s Monday statement. 

The PM said Washington introduced language in the final hours of negotiations that would have restricted Canada’s ability to make trade deals with other countries. He said that demand was ‘unacceptable’ and ‘a question of sovereignty.’

On Saturday, Carney ratcheted up his language, referring to the US’s new tariffs as an ‘attack’ on Canada. 

‘You’re at war when you’re attacked, and we got attacked,’ Carney said.

Representatives for the US and Canada were locked in negotiations for roughly a month before the agreement, which both sides said was close, broke apart just before the finish line last week.

On August 19, when the tariffs were originally set to go into effect, Donald Trump extended a window for the two countries to continue negotiating ‘based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL!’

But that gambit proved insufficient, and now both sides are blaming each other. 

American officials have blamed their Canadian counterparts for introducing new demands late in the negotiations, including those seeking lower rates on heavy trucks. 

‘Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days,’ said a statement from the US Trade Representative (United States Trade Representative (USTR)) Jamieson Greer. 

‘Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.’

Likewise, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and other Canadian officials have in turn blamed the Trump administration for changing their demands. 

‘Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses,’ Carney said in a statement on Saturday shortly after the new rates went into effect. 

The PM said its retaliatory tariffs targeting US goods would go into effect on September 8. The new rates target US steel, dairy, agricultural equipment and other sectors.  

The fallout could raise prices further ahead of the midterm election as US voters are already wary of inflated costs.   

In 2025, the US and Canada exchanged $872 billion worth of goods and services, according to the USTR’s office.
