GUILTY! RACHEL MORIN'S KILLER AWAITS SENTENCING
Emotions ran high for Rachel Morin’s loved ones after police arrested Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez in connection with her murder. Authorities found the suspect casually sitting in a Tulsa, Oklahoma bar. During the arrest, Hernandez initially lied about his identity and denied involvement in the attack on a 9-year-old girl in Los Angeles and the murder of Morin. Police discovered Rachel Morin’s body nearly five months after she went missing. Another 10 months passed before Hernandez’s arrest. More than a year of his time in the United States remains unaccounted for. While the arrest brought some closure, Morin’s sister, Rebekah, said it also felt like “day one all over again.” Matt McMahon, the father of Morin’s eldest daughter, said the Ma and Pa Trail now feels like it “belongs to Rachel again.” Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez is scheduled for sentencing in August.

FREAK DIDDY Dresses As Muslim Woman, Nude From Neck Down At Freakoff
Today's testimony included allegations that Diddy dressed like a Muslim woman during "Freak Offs." Sharay Hayes testified he did not recognize Diddy and Cassie Ventura during their first “Freak Off.” On his next invitation, Hayes said he flipped on the TV and saw a welcome message for Mr. Combs. As a fan, he then put the pieces together. Hayes said he participated in eight to 12 “Freak Offs.” He added that it was difficult to focus under Combs’ stare, and when he failed to perform, Combs asked him to leave. David James, one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' assistants, testified that he ran into Suge Knight with one of Combs’ security guards while picking up snacks for Combs at Mel’s Diner. James said when they returned, the guard informed Combs of the sighting. Combs then grabbed several guns and demanded they return to the diner. James said he felt he had no choice but to comply because Combs had three guns. He said Knight was gone by the time they got back, but Combs made him circle the block several times.
