QuoteThe allegations first emerged when Hughes called police herself, accusing her husband of attacking her when he found her in bed with the 18-year-old student on Valentine's Day. It is not clear if he faces charges.

In the video, Hughes tells the interrogating officer that while her actions weren't "justified," she was "physically and mentally" abused by her husband.

QuoteCosgrove found the prosecution's soap-opera theory about the motive for the killing to be credible—Zaffino killed Zack at George's behest because Zack didn't want to end the affair and he threatened to take custody of the child he fathered with George.

The child's paternity was unknown to most everyone—including Ed George—until tests were conducted after the murder. The child was in court Monday to see her mother sent to prison.

QuoteWarmus was 26 when she murdered Betty Jean Solomon, the wife of her colleague and lover, Paul Solomon.

Warmus has long maintained her innocence. But jurors convicted her in 1992, siding with the prosecution, which suggested her romantic obsession with Solomon led her to kill his wife half an hour before she met her lover for an evening of drinks and sex.

Warmus, the heiress to an insurance fortune, was arrested less than a month later.

QuoteMichelle Hundley Smith was first reported missing on Dec. 31, 2001. At the time, officials with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office said they were told that Smith, 38, had been missing for weeks. Her husband told investigators that she left their Stoneville home to go Christmas shopping at a K-Mart about 20 miles away in Martinsville, Virginia.

WGHP had previously spoken with Smith's daughter in 2021, exactly 20 years after her mother disappeared.

At the time, Amanda said she would have loved to know the reason that her mother vanished, even if only to rule out anything "sinister."

QuoteThe Administrative Procedure Act (APA) is a federal act that governs the procedures of administrative law. The APA is codified in 5 U.S.C. §§ 551–559.

The core pieces of the act establish how federal administrative agencies make rules and how they adjudicate administrative litigation. 5 U.S.C. § 551(5)–(7) clarifies that rulemaking is the "agency process for formulating, amending, or repealing a rule," and adjudication is the final disposition of an agency matter other than rulemaking. That is, rulemaking goes beyond resolution of specific controversies between parties and includes management and administrative functions. Rulemaking and adjudication can be formal or informal, which in turn determines which APA procedural requirements apply.

QuoteA neighbor of Singleton's recognized the police sketch crafted from Mary's account and wasted no time contacting law enforcement. Nine days after the attack, Singleton was arrested and charged with attempted murder, rape, and a slew of other sexual offenses against Mary.

Despite being found guilty, he received a shockingly short sentence of only 14 years, and as he left the courtroom, he had some chilling words for Mary: "If it's the last thing I do, I'll finish the job," he whispered menacingly as he was dragged away.

Singleton was released just eight years later for 'good behavior.' Tragically, Singleton would go on to murder Roxanne Hayes, a mother of three, in 1997. When police arrived at the scene after a neighbor's call, they found him blood-stained.
