ABC 20/20 profiled the story of Doug and Faylene Grant in April of this year (you can read my thoughts here), and this week Dateline did a 2 hour special on the story.
At the end of Dateline’s story, they mentioned that Doug Grant was convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to five years in prison. You can read more about this in the ABC15.com.
Do you think justice was served? Or do you think Doug Grant committed 1st degree murder?
Phil Spector received his sentenced Friday: 19 years to life, which means he won’t be eligible for parole until he is 88 years old, reports CNN.

* Several of you have asked how my dog, Lucy, is doing. She had a very difficult week. She is quite weak right now, but is still eating and functioning so we are taking it day by day. It’s been so hard, so forgive me if things are slow here. My mind is very distracted…and hoping for the very best for her.
This is a clip from the Discovery Channel:
What do you think? Does this make sense to you?

I am not one to get into tabloid news, but several of you have requested I review video footage of Kate’s sister-in-law, Jodi Kreider, and brother, Kevin Kreider, speaking out about Jon and Kate to RadarOnline.
Interview 1
Interview 2
Interview 3
Read moreJodi gives us this incredible story that these “Plus 8” children of Jon and Kate are being used for entertainment only, and the ramifications of the Gosselin family being the media are going to have harmful effects on the children.
While it is entirely plausible for someone to feel sorry for the children or to feel the children are victims of their circumstance (not that I agree or disagree–that’s irrelevant), good old Aunt Jodi shoots herself in the foot when she talks to RadarOnline, because her actions speak louder than words.
If Aunt Jodi cares for her eight nieces and nephews, she wouldn’t go to the media herself and air the family’s dirty laundry. She would never even consider talking smack about Jon and Kate, because more pressure on the marriage certainly isn’t going to benefit these children in any way. Logically, it will only cause more pain, grief and harm to them and their parents. Period. Creating a media firestorm will only serve to hurt the children even more, now and in the future. It’s like she is itching to tear them all apart for good, for Pete’s sake, and you don’t need “Eyes for Lies” to see this–just a good dose of common sense.
I can’t help but wonder if Aunt Jodi is jealous. I mean there was a time she was on the show and now that she is not. Is she pissed, does she miss the limelight, or what? What is motivating her to speak out?
I’d take everything Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin says with a grain of salt. They aren’t being honest with us about their love and concern for Gosselin children–that’s for sure! I’m rather repulsed by them, frankly.
CNN is reporting that the remains found on the Des Plaines River last week are not those of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic. Instead they are the remains of an unidentified male. You can read more here.
Thanks, Jacqueline, for the update to the story.
