Taylor Beale is just an interesting girl. On one hand, you've got this very bright, very bubbly, very personable college student. And then on the other hand, you have this young lady that is very amorous and very flirtatious towards older men.

It's almost like you're dealing with two different people when you talk about Taylor Beale.

Folley showed it. He had a computer that was filled with pictures of young ladies involved in various bondage poses.

Taylor was very aware that these models were involved in the bondage industry. I think that may have perked her fascination.

Rural jurors expect men to act like gentlemen and they expect young women to act like ladies. That mindset, we believe, certainly played into our favor.

For Matthews County, it's huge. It has no peer. God knows how many people are going to be there for the trial. It's a real, real, real big event.

I can't quote it verbatim, but it simply said that I am the reason why Taylor is dead. I deserve to be imprisoned.

I agree. I think things could have gone far worse for Mr. Folley. I think he may have come out on a little bit better end of the stick, all things considered.

And I would like to wear this white rose this morning for those two sweet children. We are so, all of us, emotionally involved in this story. You're sharing this information with viewers, viewers around the world as well.

Return to the Lake
For the black community, there was added rage. Everybody's looking for a black man and, you know, I hate that she used this as a scapegoat, you know, to cover up the incident. You know, it could have been anything else, you know, but this is the way she chose out.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
And the prosecution said no and made the offer again and again and again.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
Well, a lot of what I saw was that she was just in an agony of grief and remorse and self-loathing. Grief for her children, remorse for what she had done.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
What led her to the lake is a story of mental illness. It's a story of depression. It is a story of a really complete emotional collapse.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
It wasn't her desire to get back together with the wealthy boyfriend. That relationship was dead as a doornail before this crime occurred.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
She grew up in a family marked by alcoholism and violence, and finally her father did commit suicide. Susan was six when he died. He shot himself and then called 911 and screamed into the phone to get them to come and help him. That is what suicide is like. It's not rational. People want to die and they want to live at the same time.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
And what she did at the lake really echoed the way her father left her when she was just a little girl.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
She is a child at age 13, was making childish suicidal attempts with pills, and again at age 18.

Return to the Lake
A father who seemed to the outside world what she had lacked in her earliest years, but it turned out that he had been sexually molesting her when she was a teenager, at least at age 15, 16.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
Well, her ex-husband, David, knew that she had had this sexual relationship with her boss. And it had also come out that this sexual relationship with her stepfather had resumed.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
And she is exhibiting the promiscuity and the impaired judgment of an untreated incest survivor, of somebody who was left to figure out what had been done to her on her own.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
She was a single mother with two small children who was about to be utterly disgraced. And she could not, could not survive this. And the children could not be left alone without their mother. And that is where the suicide idea came from.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
I thought it was so clear from the fact that this was a murder-suicide attempt that was caused by mental illness that she was not going to be sentenced to death.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
I think the testimony about how much she loved those children from so many people.

Return to the Lake
Beverly Russell was a very, very flawed man, but he still saw his responsibility to Susan when this disaster struck and did what he could.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
Well, she was relieved for her family. that her family was not going to have to go through the whole gruesome process of having a loved one executed. But David was both angry and disappointed.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
I never went for the suicide part of it. What do you hope will happen to Susan Smith?
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
Susan doesn't pose a danger to society. I don't see what punishing her year after year after year in prison does to help anyone.
Dateline NBC
Return to the Lake
I just, if anybody sees anything whatsoever, please contact your local police department and inform them if anything looks unusual. Please.

The subcommittee headed by Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, overseas, to people who should not have gotten it. Some of this room might have missed that press conference. Can you elaborate on what the president is thinking at this point?

Well, again, that's another example. There's a very long list of the fraud, waste, and abuse that Doge is identifying on a daily basis. Elon Musk also talked about yesterday about Social Security payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with us. Unfortunately, I would say that is certainly fraud. There's also a lot of contracts they've

identified that just as a hypothetical example are a million bucks, but only 500,000 went out the door. So where's the rest of that cash? And so that's the thing. Those are the things that Doge is working on every single day.

Privately, even Biden officials often acknowledge that Ukraine would ultimately have to give up some territory in order to secure a deal to end the war, though those Biden officials usually avoided saying that out loud. Trump officials say they're just being realistic three years into this invasion in order to drive both sides to the bargaining table.

leaders of our European allies should take primary responsibility for defense of the continent, which means security ownership by all allies, guided by a clear understanding of strategic realities, and it's an imperative given the strategic realities that we face. And that begins with increasing defense spending. 2% is a start, as President Trump has said, but it's not enough.

what we're hearing is just complete chaos and frankly a whole bunch of cruelty because at the end of the day um you can make departments more efficient and i'm not a big believer in bureaucracy but this feels like as elon musk said to you evisceration so here's a guy who has hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts from these departments. And he's not touching them.
