We also discuss another of her "celebrity crushes" - Ian Watkins, lead singer of Lostprophets, and what it was like when the truth came out about his horrific crimes. I may be biased but I think you will definitely find it worth a listen. Follow the Totalcrime #podcast (2/2)

Did you know that Russell Brand's lawyers tried to get the case thrown out (before the jury was even sworn in), claiming he could not get a fair trial because of media coverage in the wake of the 2023 TV documentary? Read the full story #russellbrand (1/3) totalcrime.substack.com/p/as…

I also explain the constant battle the UK legal system has to maintain "fair trials" despite the constant commentary on X, Facebook and other social media platforms from people giving their opinions about Russell Brand etc, and why the Contempt of Court Act is now obsolete. (2/3)

I understand the prosecution today offered “no further evidence” against Michael Clarke, who was thus acquitted of the murder of Tanesha Melbourne-Blake, 17, who was shot dead in north London, on 2 April 2018. I will be publishing a 2-part series on my Substack on Wednesday (1/4)

Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel Alameda, 30, has died after a horrific tackle by FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a match on Monday night. Owono was sent off for the foul, almost on the halfway line (which was even worse than Harald Schumacher's infamous 1982 foul)
