Cops Kill People: Georgia Cop Found Not Guilty Of Murder Of Unarmed Anthony Hill, Faces 35 Years On Other Charges

Source: Towfiqu Photography / Getty Georgia Cop Found Not Guilty Of Murdering Anthony Hill Previously, we reported that naked and unarmed Anthony Hill , an Afghanistan war veteran, was killed by an Atlanta-area Dekalb County Robert “Chip” Olsen back in 2016. Today, according to CNN , Olsen will walk away scot-free from murder charges related to Hill’s death. Although the jury found Olsen not guilty of murder, they did find him guilty of aggravated assault, making a false statement, and two counts of violation of oath. For that, he faces 35 years in prison. Hill had a documented history of mental illness but did not have a weapon of any sort when he allegedly charged at the former police officer while completely naked. We hope Olsen is sentenced to every hour of that 35 years, but after seeing how Amber Guyger ‘s case went, we don’t have very much confidence…

Dick Wolf Breaks Down “One Chicago’s” Battle Against Superbug In Crossover Episodes (Exclusive)

Source: NBC / Getty “One Chicago” Crossover Episodes Airs Oct. 16 At 8 P.M. EST On NBC The creator behind the TV shows “Chicago Med,” Chicago Fire” and Chicago P.D.” said this week’s crossover episodes have a “really scary” storyline that could happen in real life. “One Chicago” creator Dick Wolf said Wednesday night’s three-hour event about a flesh-eating virus plaguing the Windy City would shock viewers because it’s a crisis that’s within the realm of possibility. “It’s basically the same primal fear as “Jaws” or “The Birds” – it’s nature run amok,” Wolf said. “It’s scary.” Wolf said flesh-eating bacteria are in nature and recalled last summer’s spate of cases involving people who caught it after swimming at the beach. Source: NBC / Getty The executive producer also revealed his own brush with superbugs: last year he said doctors swabbed a spot he thought was infected for strep and MRSA viruses. “I said I haven’t been in a hospital,” Wolf told BOSSIP. (The doctor) “said, ‘It’s out.’” This week’s episode sees the casts of “One Chicago” franchises “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.,” and “Chicago Med” join forces to save the city from the potential pandemic. “All I can say is stay tuned,” Wolf added. “There’s really good stuff coming up. The crossover, I think, will scare a lot of people.” Wolf, whose other primetime series “Law & Order: SVU” is the longest-running TV show in U.S. history, also revealed what he believes has helped his shows’ longevity: “The writing,” he said. “It’s always the writing.”

Jinger Duggar: Did She Tone Down Her "Rebellious" Look For Her Parents’ Visit?

Of all the Duggar children, no one has blazed their own trail quite like Jinger. Jinger first earned the “rebel” label when she began wearing pants, a violation of the strict Duggar dress code , which requires women to wear long skirts at all times. (Jinger committed her first act of sartorial defiance only after she was married and only with her husband’s permission, but hey — given her parents’ famously low tolerance for non-conformity, that pair of Levi’s must have felt as dangerous as any mohawk.) Since then, Jinger has broken with the Duggar belief system in a number of subtle, but significant ways. For starters, she married a man her father openly disapproved of. After her wedding, Jinger waited more than a year to get pregnant — a customary practice in most parts of the world, but the stuff of scandal in a community in which girls are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being. Most recently, Jinger moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, and her daughter, Felicity. Even though the family relocated so that Jeremy could attend a divinity school in the area, Jinger’s parents reportedly disapproved. In fact, the move prompted rumors that Jinger had been disowned by her parents . Last week, however, something remarkable happened. With no advanced notice, Jim Bob and Michelle — along with 16 of their children — made the trip out west and visited Jinger in LA for the first time. Some flew, some drove RVs, and Jinger was reportedly overjoyed to see her parents and all but two of her siblings. (Jill and Joy-Anna were unable to make the trip for reasons that remain unclear.) Obviously, Jinger did not have to do any traveling, and she wasn’t able to accommodate dozens of guests in her home. (It’s unclear how many Duggar children and in-laws made the journey.) But that doesn’t mean nothing was required of her. According to a new report from Radar Online, Jinger made a major concession to her parents’ belief system and re-adopted the Duggar dress code during their visit. “Just last week Jinger was wearing ripped jeans, and before that, short shorts,” an insider tells the site. “The moment her parents come to town she goes back to wearing dresses,” Yes, we suppose it’s easy to be a rebel when your parents are 1,500 miles away, but a bit more difficult when they’re staying at the Marriott down the street. It’s unclear if Jim Bob and Michelle requested this favor of Jinger, or if she simply chose to surprise them with her return to “modest attire.” Some folks are taking this as a sign that Jinger really was disowned by her parents and is currently working hard to get back into their good graces. That’s a bit of a stretch. But whatever the case, it seems Jinger is still very much concerned with remaining on Jim Bob’s good side.

Avery Mills Defends Omar Albakour in Unhinged Video: He’s NOT Controlling!

Monday night will show part one of the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Tell All special . Avery Mills is getting ahead of whatever is about to air by offering a vigorous, if somewhat unhinged, defense of her husband, Omar Albakour. Is she right? Is she a little bonkers? It's possible that both are true. Take a look: “Okay,” Avery begins a series of Instagram Story videos. “I do have to say something.” “I don't usually respond to any comments,” she admits. “But I hate when people say Omar is controlling.” “I'm sorry,” Avery says sarcastically. “But Omar asking me not to dance in the streets because it's not normal is  not  being controlling.” “To be honest,” she continues. “People have their preferences. If he doesn't want me dancing in the streets …” She then zooms in on her face, saying to trust her, that, they “do enough dancing at home.” “For two,” Avery continues in a subsequent video shared to her Instagram Story. “For someone to say that Omar does not love me,” she insists. “Does not know Omar.” Avery expresses: “He is the most loving person, ever.” She then suggests that she may be able to zero in on exactly what makes some viewers so suspicious of Omar. “Yeah,” she admits. “He's shy.” “He's shy when he's getting recorded for international TV shows,” Avery points out. “I bet a lot of people would be more shy, too,” she predicts. But Avery has moe to say than just defending Omar's demeanor and what some saw as controlling behavior. She also takes the opportunity to sing her man's praises. “You know,” she says. “Get you a man who sings … to you.” Avery also recommends a man “that plays with your hair any time.” “That spoils you,” she continues. “With love, with, you know, anything that you want.” “Get you someone who will protect you at all costs,” Avery suggests. “And maybe,” she says up close to the camera. “You'll know how much Omar loves me.” “And last but not least,” Avery concludes. “If you don't like me,” she says, while facing off screen. “Then that's a personal problem.” Throughout the entire video, she is going out of her way to emote more than necessary. For dramatic effect, she moves the camera close to and away from her face at odd moments. The effect of her Instagram Stories, whether you agree with her message or not, is unlikely to impress. If you're wondering why Avery comes across as a little batty and immature here, keep in mind that she's, well, 19. Maybe 20. And while she's certainly not too young to choose her religious faith, her age has brought up other concerns. She may be an adult, but how young is too young to get married? Most people feel that 19 qualifies. That said, some critics of her romance with Omar have less to do with maturity concerns and more to do with straight-up Islamophobia. Fans of the couple will be pleased to know that it appears that the two are still married. We'll know more on Monday night's Tell All, Part 1.

Joe Giudice to Teresa: Do NOT Come to Italy!

Well, it finally happened. After months of appealing his deportation ruling, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star  Joe Giudice has been shipped off to Italy . Insiders say Joe plans to continue fighting for his right to live in America, but from now on, he’ll be waging that battle from his new home in Naples. Joe doesn’t speak Italian, and doesn’t know anyone in Italy, so it won’t be easy for him to build a new life for himself in the country of his birth. Fortunately, he won’t be undertaking the task entirely on his own. Joe was met in Italy by his mother and brother, who set up a home for him in preparation for his arrival. Throughout the ordeal of his imprisonment and subsequent detainment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Joe repeatedly stated that the worst part was being separated from his four daughters. So he must have been overjoyed by the news that the girls will be visiting him in Naples. Gia announced the visit on Instagram over the weekend. The 18-year-old college student (above) posted this photo of Joe and his brother (below), along with a caption reading: “So happy your together right now.. enjoy see you in a few weeks daddy.” And it seems the girls won’t be making their transcontinental journey alone. Insiders say Teresa Giudice will be traveling to Italy  in the very near future – but it seems she’s not motivated purely by her love for Joe. According to a new report from Radar Online, Teresa will receive a massive bonus from Bravo for going to Naples and filming for TV. That’s right, she’s driven strongly by the appeal of the almighty dollar. Gotta reunite on The Real Housewives of New Jersey with Joe! The trip across the Atlantic has the potential to be intensely awkward for a number of reasons, if you stop and think about it. For starters, it’s been made clear that  Teresa still plans to divorce Joe  and has already been dating a much younger man named Blake Schreck. On top of that, it seems that both Joe and his family would prefer that Teresa simply stay home in the Garden State. “Joe’s mom and brother have told him that Teresa should not be allowed to see him in Italy,” one insider tells Radar. “They have talked to him about the cheating claims, and how she hasn’t respected him at all since he was locked up,” the insider adds. Apparently, Joe’s mother and brother basically held an anti-Teresa intervention, and it’s beginning to have the desired effect on Joe: “Joe’s mom and brother have hammered him on his terrible relationship with his wife,” the celebrity gossip site’s insider claims. “They do not like Teresa at all, and they don’t think she should come to Italy when she hardly ever went to prison to see him.” It’s hard to believe that Joe would still want Teresa to visit him overseas now that she’s got one foot out the door. Or both.  View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! She’s essentially confirmed that she was u8nfaithful during his time in prison and is now banging someone else. Kinda savage. Of course, it’s possible that the taping could mean big Bravo bucks for Joe, as well – and, well, from the way things sound … Guy could use all the help he can get these days. #justsayin
