DALLAS - Liberty wanted to be a ballerina. Faith was smart and made people laugh. On May 2, 2001, the little girls - ages 6 and 9 - were visiting their father, John Battaglia, in his apartment near downtown Dallas when the unthinkable happened. "He tried to kill the children!" Those are the chilling words from a 911 recording on the night that Liberty and Faith were murdered.

"And then I hear Faith go, 'No, daddy! Please don't do it!' And I heard [gunfire], and I hear him yell: 'Merry F---ing Christmas!'" Evidence

MashableThe Denver Broncos will be cutting Von Miller a hefty check next season after placing a franchise tag worth $14.1 million on their Super Bowl 50 MVP linebacker. But he might need every penny if he keeps cutting the cheese. Miller is a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” this season, and footage this week showed that his dance partner, Witney Carson, frequently fines Miller for a series of offenses including taking a break, swearing, being late and, yes, farting. The two got up close and personal during their cha-cha this week, so considering there wasn’t much room to breathe in the first place, we’re not surprised Carson wanted that air to be clean.

New England Sports NetworkIt may not sound like it at first, but the FBI's decision to move fast on its investigation of Hillary Clinton's email practices is good news for the Democratic front-runner. As my colleague Del Quentin Wilber reported this week, federal prosecutors have begun setting up formal interviews with Clinton's advisors. After those sessions, they're expected to seek an interview with the candidate herself. Clinton has long said she will cooperate. Signs are that FBI Director James Comey, who has personally overseen the inquiry, wants to get the probe done before the Democratic Convention in July. Comey understandably wants to avoid any appearance of sitting on information that could influence a presidential
Los Angeles TimesA Philadelphia high school journalist who took on Black Lives Matter in a column for the school paper, only to be driven into home-schooling, says his torment didn't end when he withdrew. It was just before Christmas break when 17-year-old University of Pennsylvania-bound Michael Moroz wrote an opinion piece for the Central High school paper, the Centralizer. In it, he criticized the racially charged University of Missouri protests at the time and suggested that Michael Brown, the black teenager killed in 2014 by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., was "a delinquent" who was "at worst, justifiably killed, and at best, a thug." "If someone who called for me to be shot gets a day suspension,

Fox Business VideosFlorida Governor Rick Scott has a suggestion for Yale University: Consider a move south to avoid taxes. Scott's proposal comes after news that Connecticut lawmakers have been trying to dip into Yale University's $25.6 billion endowment, and that the mayor of New Haven, Connecticut is backing a proposal that could make it easier to tax Yale's commercial real estate. “With news that the Connecticut Legislature wants to unfairly tax one of the nation’s most renowned universities to deal with the state’s budget shortfall, it is clear that all businesses in Connecticut, including Yale, should look to move to Florida,’’ Scott said, according to the Connecticut Post.
