Michael Jackson and Leaving Neverland: The Full Reckoning
The mothers are the part nobody talks about enough. Joy Robson moved her family to Los Angeles because Michael Jackson told her to. She left her seven-year-old son alone with the most famous adult on earth and felt lucky about it. If Robson is telling the truth, that mother has to live with the knowledge that she handed her child to someone who was hurting him and smiled while she did it. That ...

Kohberger's Writings From Jail Expose What Guilty Plea Hid

The content is striking not for what it says, but for what is entirely absent: any connection to reality. He c...
