Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

The father of the teen boy responsible for a mass shooting at a Winder, Georgia high school is being held accountable for his son Colt Gray's actions.
Colin Gray convicted of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, cruelty to children, and reckless conduct after less than two hours of deliberation.
The FBI first investigated Colt Gray in May 2023 after receiving a tip about a school shooting threat via Discord, a gaming chat platform.
Colin Gray told investigators he had been teaching his son about "firearms and safety" and how to hunt. He stated that if his son had made any threats, he "would be mad as hell and then all the guns would be taken away."
Colt denied making threats. After the investigation, Colin Gray purchased his son an AR-15-style rifle as a gift. Colin Gray will be sentenced in July facing up to 180 years in prison.

Convicted killer Pamela Smart, 57, serving life without parole for masterminding the 1990 murder of her husband, Gregg Smart, claims her conviction was tainted by faulty audio evidence and media bias. Smart’s legal team filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that transcripts of audio tapes played at her 1991 trial were inaccurate and created "expectation bias" among jurors.

The state of New Hampshire has asked a judge to dismiss the petition. Smart's co-conspirators under the age of 18 at the time of the killing, has been released from prison.

Singer-songwriter d4vd, David Anthony Burke, in court today on charges including first-degree murder in the death of teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness to an investigation. Prosecutors allege he killed Celeste to prevent her from exposing their sexual relationship, in turn ruining his musical career.
Celeste's autopsy revealed a gruesome death from multiple stab wounds, in her torso. Her body was subsequently dismembered. Her skull was partially skeletonized and an eye was missing. Two fingers were also gone. During a court hearing today, prosecutors revealed a "significant amount" of child pornography was found on Burke's phone.
D4vd has been denied bail and is now being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. This is the same facility housing Nick Reiner. D4vd's legal team says "actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez".
