Funeral home owner who sent families fake ashes pleads guilty to fraud
A Colorado funeral home owner accused of stashing nearly 200 decomposing bodies in a room-temperature building admitted in federal court Monday that she cheated customers and defrauded the federal government out of nearly $900,000. Carie Hallford, who ran Return to Nature Funeral Home with her husband Jon Hallford, pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Carie Hallford faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, though federal prosecutors agreed to ask for 15 years at a December sentencing hearing. Hallford already pleaded guilty once in federal court, but a judge last year rejected the agreement with prosecutors and still has to approve this one. Crystina Page's son David died in 2019, and his body was left in an inoperable refrigerator for four years. Standing outside the federal courthouse Monday, Page said she's disappointed about the possibility that neither Hallford goes on trial, something she hoped would have brought answers about what happened to her son and others entrusted to their care. 'We still don't know the truth of what they've done to us,' she said. The federal case brought against both Hallfords focused on two schemes: falsifying documents to siphon nearly $900,000 in COVID-19 pandemic-era financial aid from the U.S. Small Business Administration and deceiving customers by taking payments for cremations the Hallfords never did. Instead of cremating the nearly 200 bodies between 2019 and 2023, the Hallfords allegedly stored the bodies in a decrepit building and sent some customers dry concrete instead of ashes. The Hallfords pocketed around $130,000 of their customers' payments meant for cremations or burial services and spent it, along with the federal funds, on luxury products — a GMC Yukon, laser body sculpting, vacations, jewelry and cryptocurrency. In a separate case in state court, both Hallfords have been charged with 191 counts of corpse abuse, including for twice burying the wrong body and leaving others to decompose. Jon Hallford has already pleaded guilty to those 191 counts, as well as a fraud charge in the federal case for which he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The building packed with bodies was discovered in 2023 in Penrose, Colorado, about a two-hour drive south of Denver. It shook already grieving families. Many learned that their loved ones' remains weren't in the ashes they spread or held tight but were instead decaying in a building. Investigators found bodies stacked atop each other, swarms of bugs and maggots, and so much liquid on the ground it had to be pumped out.

'What The F**k': Jim Acosta Slammed Over 'One Of A Kind Interview' With Dead Parkland Victim
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a 'one of a kind interview' with an AI version of late Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. The interview — shared to Acosta's SubStack page on Monday — depicts Oliver, one of 17 victims who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it's 'important' to talk about gun violence in schools. The AI — when asked for its 'solution' to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement. The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen's interests in the Miami Heat and 'Star Wars.' Acosta — who declared that the technology left him 'speechless' — called the conversation 'so insightful,' telling the late teen's father Manuel Oliver that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son. 'I felt like I was communicating with him which is just so remarkable,' Acosta said. 'People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to hold onto who this person was which I think is a beautiful thing.' Manuel Oliver and his wife Patricia Oliver — co-founders of the gun control advocacy group Change the Ref — have been involved in other projects that demand action against gun violence including a school shooting video game, a play and a site that uses AI to recreate victims' voices for calls to Congress. Manuel Oliver — in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter — acknowledged that the AI was his and his wife's idea, adding that Acosta shouldn't be blamed for 'what he was able to do' in the 'interview.' 'If the problem that you have is with the AI then you have the wrong problem,' he said. 'The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that that is not the problem, you are part of the problem.' While Acosta restricted those who could reply to his posts on X, it wasn't the same case on his BlueSky account where a number of critics were stunned by the AI move. 'Hey Jim. Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you,' replied one user. 'What I want to know is what the fuck is wrong with the PARENTS?!' another user wrote. Check out those reactions and more below. Related...

Grand jury declines to indict former Atlanta police officer in church deacon's death
A grand jury on Monday declined to indict a former Atlanta police officer on manslaughter charges in the death of a church deacon who died in a struggle with the officer following a minor car crash. After hearing the case, Fulton County grand jurors rejected criminal charges against Kiran Kimbrough, said Jeff DiSantis, a spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Johnny Hollman Sr. died in August 2023 after he refused to sign a citation following a wreck. Family members said the 62-year-old Hollman was driving home from Bible study at his daughter's house and taking dinner to his wife when he collided with another vehicle while turning across a busy street just west of downtown. Body camera video of Hollman's arrest shows Kimbrough repeatedly demanding that Hollman sign the citation, while Hollman insists he did nothing wrong. The two men tussled and Hollman ended up face down on the ground with Kimbrough over him, pressing him down. Holloman repeatedly says 'I can't breathe,' and Kimbrough uses a Taser to shock him repeatedly. The video also shows a tow truck driver helping Kimbrough. Hollman became unresponsive and was declared dead at a hospital. An autopsy determined the death was a homicide, with heart disease also a contributing factor. Lance LoRusso, who represents Kimbrough, said prosecutors sought to indict his client for one count of manslaughter, one count of simple battery and three counts of violating his oath of office. Kimbrough testified before the grand jury, as is an officer's right under state law, LoRusso said. 'While Johnny Hollman's death was tragic, in no way did Kiran Kimbrough cause the death,' LoRusso said in a statement Monday. 'Johnny Hollman's death was caused by medical complications and his felonious, unlawful resistance of a uniformed officer performing his lawful duties.' DiSantis said Willis is conferring with prosecutors and investigators about whether to ask a new grand jury to indict Kimbrough. Hollman's family members have repeatedly called for the former officer to be criminally charged. A statement from lawyers attributed to the family said they were 'devastated' by the grand jury's decision not to indict. 'The failure to hold this officer accountable is another painful reminder of how little value is placed on his life by some citizens,' the statement said. 'Our faith and our fight for justice will not waver.' Atlanta officials fired Kimbrough, saying he should have agreed to Hollman's request to speak to a supervisor. A civil service board upheld the firing, and the Atlanta City Council agreed to settle a lawsuit by Hollman's family alleging excessive force for $3.8 million. The family also sued the tow truck driver and his employer, saying the driver straddled Hollman's head and neck for at least 20 seconds and appeared to 'sit with his full body weight' on Hollman's head and neck while Kimbrough handcuffed Hollman. Atlanta and some other police departments have enacted policies saying that officers should no longer arrest people who refused to sign citations. State lawmakers passed a bill that would have enacted such a policy statewide earlier this year, but Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed it because he opposed a provision unrelated to collecting signatures from people named on citations.
