Caylen Deller claimed she shot Chad Mullen in self-defense at her Florida horse farm, but the jury rejected her testimony after just one hour.

Alonzo Lunsford, shot seven times by Nidal Hasan, called Trump's decision to cancel the firing squad livestream a "positive move" for the nation.

A California researcher pleaded no contest to one felony count of poisoning his coworker, which allegedly made the female victim gravely ill. However, the defendant was granted what a judge called an "extremely generous" plea deal despite hidden-camera video of him tampering with his colleague's water bottle.

Rong Yuan began working at Berkeley Engineering and Research in January 2017, and she worked alongside David Xu, a fellow UC Berkeley alumnus.

'I almost died.'

Yuan told the San Francisco Standard that her first workplace encounter with Xu was tense, saying that Xu told her she wasn't allowed to use the company's material characterization lab.

Yuan said she told Xu, "I know how to use all these tools. I've even repaired them."

Yuan recalled, "I just decided I will never overlap with him. I'll just simply do my work, and he can do whatever he wants."

Just weeks after the encounter, Yuan said she began experiencing mysterious health issues, including vomiting, dry heaving, and hair loss.

Yuan sought medical treatment after her symptoms became increasingly severe.

Yuan remembered that she suddenly became gravely ill after drinking from her water bottle in July 2017.

"I began to feel like I was dying," Yuan stated.

The Standard reported that by late 2018, she had been to the hospital repeatedly, her health was deteriorating, and she was vomiting all the time, often having to miss work.

Yuan said her parents, who are from China, feared her illness could be fatal, so they traveled to visit her.

On Nov. 27, 2018, Yuan sent an email stating that she was vomiting again and wouldn't be able to work at the office.

Xu reportedly replied, "You should work from home until you feel better. No reason to rush in."

Xu allegedly added that Yuan might be sick because he believed the workplace is "moldy."

In January 2019, Yuan was working at the office when she drank from her water bottle at her desk and suddenly felt sick again to the point that she thought to herself: "I'm going to die."

Later that day, Yuan's mother drank from the same water bottle and noticed an unusual sour taste.

Fearing someone was tampering with her water bottle, Yuan on Feb. 11, 2019, set up a secret camera on the wall next to her desk and focused on her water bottle.

At 11:04 a.m., Xu appeared at her desk, and the camera caught a close-up of his face and his arm reaching toward where her bottle was placed, the Standard reported.

A second video from March 4 seemingly shows Xu pouring a substance from a small white container into Yuan's bottle; Xu is seen exiting the frame of the video but appears back in frame, rotates Yuan's water bottle, and moves away.

"My blood was frozen," Yuan said of first seeing the alarming video. "I almost died. I experienced death so, so close so many times. I cannot let him go."

That day, Yuan presented the Berkeley Police Department with the videos and the water bottle.

The Standard reported that samples taken from Yuan's bottle tested positive for cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, at "levels up to 3.5 million times the federal limit for drinking water."

A report from the Berkeley Police Department accused Xu of putting cadmium in Yuan's "food and water on multiple occasions."

According to Alameda County Superior Court records reviewed by San Francisco Gate, Xu was arrested in March 2019 and charged with premeditated attempted murder and two felony counts of poisoning.

Then-Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price offered Xu a plea deal of one count of poisoning and one year of probation.

The Standard reported that the deal "shocked" even the judge, who remarked at Xu’s 2024 sentencing hearing that it was "extremely generous, considering everything in this case" and doubled his probation to two years.

Despite facing a punishment of up to life in state prison, Xu served just one day in jail and two years of probation, according to the Standard.

Xu completed his two-year probation in March 2026 and filed a petition for dismissal in July 2026.

The Daily Californian reported that Alameda County Superior Court Judge Pelayo Llamas granted Xu's petition to dismiss his felony poisoning conviction on Monday, despite objections from Yuan and Assistant District Attorney Priscilla Vuong.

The dismissal allows Xu to avoid disclosing the poisoning conviction to private employers.

Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson released a statement that read:

In 2019, David Xu was charged with attempted premeditated murder and poisoning. In 2023, the case resolved to a felony poisoning charge, 2 years of probation, and no additional jail time. After completing probation, the defendant petitioned the court to dismiss the case. As a result, we joined the victims to oppose the motion pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4. The court granted the motion over objections. We hope the survivors are able to continue healing, both emotionally and physically, from this shocking event.

Yuan described the decision as "expected" but noted that she was "still disappointed."

Yuan said she received $7,058 in restitution but added that her out-of-pocket medical expenses after insurance were more than $65,000.

Xu's attorney, Charles Huang, on Tuesday told the Daily Californian that he was not at liberty to provide a comment on the case and didn't immediately respond to the Daily Californian's emailed request for comment.

The death penalty remains a deeply divisive issue among Christians. Some hold that it is a biblically justifiable punishment, proven by Old Testament endorsements of capital punishment for serious crimes and Romans 13’s affirmation of governmental authority. Others argue against it, pointing to New Testament teachings that emphasize mercy, forgiveness, and the sanctity of life.

This divide was most recently exemplified by the announcement from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Nidal Hasan — the radicalized Muslim U.S. Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others in a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 — would be executed by firing squad in December, with initial plans to livestream the event.

Some Christians have condemned the planned execution — especially those initial livestream plans, which President Trump ultimately decided against. Others have publicly supported the public execution on biblical grounds.

BlazeTV host John Doyle, a Catholic, falls into the latter camp. On this episode of “The John Doyle Show,” he not only argues that Hasan should be publicly executed but also that “we should be killing criminals far more often, far more expediently, and far more legally and coolly.”

Doyle argues that conservatives who claim to stand on the principle that “life has infinite value” but oppose the death penalty are contradicting themselves.

“When you murder an innocent person, you have now taken from the world something of infinite value. The only way to approximate righting that wrong would be to take your life from you,” he explains.

“It's to say we can never repair what has been stolen. We can never bring it back. We can never make the balance sheet squared, but we can try; we can get close. And the only way that we can get close is actually taking from you something that is, of course, of infinite value, which is your life,” he continues. “That is the only thing we can do that can approximate justice. Anything less than that … basically says ‘human life doesn't actually have infinite value.”

Those who claim life has infinite value but oppose the death penalty, Doyle says, “have a kind of indignation behind their speaking that they never extend to the murder victims themselves.”

“They concede, ‘dude, yeah, of course murder's wrong. Of course terrorism is wrong’ … but then they go out of their way to use all of their influence and all of their power to basically make it as easy as possible for terrorists and murderers and so on to continue living their lives as they would without any kind of consequence,” he says.

In the next part of the episode, Doyle dives into the “theological weeds” of the Catholic faith when it comes to the death penalty. To hear his full breakdown, watch the episode above.

Radical Democrat James Talarico attempted to woo Republicans and independents at a town hall in Fort Worth on Wednesday as he attempts to turn a Texas U.S. Senate seat blue for the first time in more than 30 years.

This attempt evidently relied on deception.

'That industry is not gonna last.'

In addition to claiming that "the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion," Talarico made a number of other eyebrow-raising statements at the event hosted by CNN and Jubilee.

One of the Texas voters in attendance asked the Democrat about border security, "regardless of what party was in the White House," and whether federal law should require the removal of illegal aliens who have no basis to stay in the country.

"Texans understand this issue of immigration better than most people around the country because we live with it," Talarico replied. "We live with the challenges, and we live with the benefits."

After stating that "both political parties have failed us on this issue," casting shade on the Biden administration's "unacceptable" handling of the border crisis and criticizing some Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics, Talarico identified himself as a "border security Democrat."

This purported "border security Democrat" apparently was counting on the audience to overlook the fact that he:

• states on his campaign website that "our border should be like a front porch" with a "welcome mat out front and a lock on the door" and that certain illegal aliens should have a pathway to legalization;
• advocated in 2019 for diverting Texas' $800 million two-year border security budget to public education, claiming that "putting a bunch of boats, planes, and border patrol agents on the physical border" "does not solve the problem" and amounts ultimately to "political grandstanding";
• shared documents in 2019 advising foreigners how to "fight back" against ICE;
• condemned some of Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's efforts to secure the southern border, calling them "atrocities";
• voted in 2021 against a bill that provided an additional $1.8 billion in state funding for border security over a two-year period;
• voted in 2023 against a bill that aimed at beefing up border security and cracking down on transnational criminal activity;
• voted in 2023 against a bill that would have expanded the law enforcement authority of federal immigration agents in Texas; and
• voted in 2023 against a bill that made illegal entry into Texas from an alien nation a state crime.

The Border Patrol Union's National Border Patrol Council said Wednesday, "JAMES TALARICO DOES NOT SUPPORT BORDER SECURITY: Talarico’s false claim that he called out the Biden Administration for failing on the border is nothing more than a #FakeNews political ad."

In addition to masquerading as a proponent of strong security at the southern border, Talarico played the role of an ICE supporter at Wednesday's town hall.

CNN talking head Erin Burnett asked the Democrat, "Do you support abolishing ICE or not?"

"No," replied Talarico. "And I never have."

He did, however, lead a "Stop ICE rally" in January, accuse ICE of "terrorizing our country," and implore Texans to rise up against the federal agency and "fight back."

After boasting about previously having taught illegal alien students, Talarico said in his lengthy speech at the January anti-ICE rally in Austin, "It is time to tear down this secret police force and replace it with an agency that is actually going to promote public safety."

Talarico further denied ICE's legitimacy, demanded that ICE agents be hauled before Congress, and claimed that the agency was "deporting the very people who keep our economy running."

The same Democrat who months ago demanded ICE's "replace[ment]" told Burnett on Wednesday, "We need Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this country."

In an apparent attempt to reconcile the two statements, Talarico claimed that "what we've seen over the last year is a secret police force, and that's what we don't want in this country."

Talarico also tried to pull a fast one Wednesday regarding his past criticism of capitalism.

Burnett noted that at a Sierra Club event in September 2020, the Democrat said that capitalism is an "oppressive system" in need of dismantling. The CNN talking head then questioned Talarico's current identification as a proud capitalist.

"If you go back and listen to the conversation that we were having, I was talking about the system we have now, which is actually not capitalism. It's crony capitalism," Talarico said.

Talarico does not appear to have specified that he was criticizing "crony capitalism" at the Sierra Club event in 2020. Rather, he highlighted the supposed link between "climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country."

"I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them," Talarico said at the time.

A spokesperson for Talarico told the Texas Scorecard last month that "James is a proud capitalist and agrees with the majority of Texans that racism, natural disasters, and a billionaire-controlled economy are all problems we need to address."

Madison Cercy, a spokeswoman for the campaign of Talarico's Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, said that "James Talarico is a democratic socialist who wants to destroy economic opportunity, ban oil and gas, and raise taxes to pay for his radical agenda."

Talarico, who told Burnett that he wants to return to old-school capitalism, also claimed at the town hall that "if the Democratic Party is going after the good-paying oil and gas jobs here in Texas, I'm going to stand up against them."

Yet Talarico said during the same Sierra Club event, "We all know that Texas has been a leader in oil and gas, but in many ways that's like being the leader in cassette tapes in the 1980s," CNN reported.

"That industry is not going to last. And if we want to ensure we have an economy that's going to work for our children and our children's children, we gotta be ahead of the curve, and Texas has to lead instead of follow on this issue," Talarico added.

This supposed friend of the oil and gas industry claimed in 2022 that "fossil fuels are destroying the planet" and suggested that Texas should "transition" to so-called renewables.

The Talarico campaign did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Blaze Poll Watch presently shows Talarico leading Paxton 48.1%-45.1%.
