six months after the murder, jimmy gate's phone rang.ighbor who'd been interviewed once and had offered nothing of value. but now apparently she was having an attack of conscience. the neighbor now told the detective that she'd seen erwin on june 30th, the day erwin had confronted and slapped deede. she said the conversation lasted 15 or 20 minutes, where he articulates he was man enough to strangle her with work gloves. that's what deede's neighbor says erwin said to her? correct. why do you think she didn't tell you for six months? i have no idea why a neighbor, during a murder investigation, just wouldn't simply tell the cops the truth, that he wanted to kill her. josh mankiewicz: armed with that new and threatening statement, detective gates was able to get his warrant. and soon, erwin howard was under arrest for the murder of deede keller. now the case was in the hands of la county deputy district attorney john lewin. what made this case different? i love cases where you have a very good idea who the suspect is. but it's a question

[ laughter ] taylor, not too swift. the always vomitus elon musk weighed in on taylor swift and her endorsement, because why not? he wrote, "fine, taylor, you win. i will give you a child and guard your cats with my life." which is a statement so creepy, it could be trump's running mate. [ laughter ] j.d. vance, i think we're just barely scratching the surface of what a terrible pick this j.d. vance was. i'd be surprised if he even makes it to november. trump's worst moment during the debate, maybe the worst moment of any debate ever, is largely j.d.'s fault. he has been spreading this stupid, this ridiculous, nonsensical lie about haitian immigrants eating pets in springfield, ohio. this is a story that originated on facebook. someone posted that their neighbor's -- not a joke, their neighbor's friend's daughter saw haitian immigrants eating cats or geese or who the hell knows what. j.d. decided, i'm going to make this the centerpiece of every stump spee
