A trial date for Karmelo Anthony's murder case has been set.

Court records show the teenager -- who is accused of stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf during a dispute at a high school track meet -- is slated to appear before a judge and jury in Collin County, Texas on June 1, 2026.

A court official tells TMZ Sports that date is tentative -- and it's entirely possible it gets pushed out further. But, the official added it's rare set dates ever get moved up.

Jeffrey Epstein’s last known words before he was discovered hanged in his prison cell back in 2019 have been revealed -- and they’re profoundly eerie.

Journalist Michael Wolff says Epstein hit him with a hefty one-liner just hours before his death ... telling him he was "still hanging around" after Wolff asked him how he was doing. Quite a choice of words considering what happened next.

Wolff -- who knew Epstein for years -- says the message came through one of Epstein’s lawyers on a Friday night. By Saturday morning, Epstein was found hanged in his cell at Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC.

George Santos wants to be clear ... he's not suicidal or depressed -- and, his followers shouldn't believe prison officials if they try to claim he is.

Santos tells his nearly 200K followers he's "not suicidal. I’m not depressed. I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I’m in there."

Here's Bryan Kohberger's signed confession to the brutal murders of four Idaho college students ... but his admission of guilt doesn't include an explanation behind the slayings.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kohberger admits to murdering his victims with "premeditation and with malice aforethought."

Here's the verdict sheet returned by jurors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal criminal trial ... and you can see the check marks for "Not Guilty" on the sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Jurors reached their verdict Wednesday morning last week after a couple days of deliberations ... and they acquitted Diddy on one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura and one count of sex trafficking of "Jane."

The 12-member jury -- 8 men and 4 women -- only checked "Guilty" on counts 3 and 5 ... which are both transportation for the purpose of prostitution, AKA the Mann Act.

Gary Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, took a lie-detector test on TV over suspicions she had something to do with the 1980s TV star's death -- and the results? Buckle up.

Catch the clip ahead of Thursday’s two-hour premiere of A&E's "Lie Detector: Truth or Deception" ... where ex-FBI agent and polygraph pro George Olivo tells Shannon she flunked two of his key questions -- with the results indicating some level of deception.

Shannon, for her part, stays cool as a cucumber -- so much so that George repeats his findings, and asks if she has anything to say. Her response? Calmly calling his results "false."

See our footage from the scene for yourself ... disrespectful thieves went straight through the front door of Soulja's store -- without a key, leaving mounds of broken glass on the ground on Melrose.

The store's boarded up for the day ... and adding insult to injury, there's already a fresh coat of graffiti on the entrance door.

Proponents of theories building for months over which rich and famous pals might appear on Jeffrey Epstein's alleged "client list" were met with an underwhelming fed announcement -- and now a lawyer for the convicted sex offender is shaming the financier's friends who he says initially ran for the hills.

Here's the deal ... the Department of Justice announced Monday there's no evidence Epstein kept a “client list,” or was murdered in his jail cell -- a shocking revelation to some who naturally, immediately, called BS.

David Schoen, one of Epstein's lawyers, tells TMZ ... he never expected some super secret list to be found ... 'cause it made no sense.

LAPD's finest are hot on the trail of the three suspects who broke into Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles home last month -- and detectives may soon get a break in the case ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … investigators are combing through surveillance footage and submitting fingerprints lifted from the scene to be compared to other prints in the police database. While results can take up to a week, cops are their crossing fingers they get a match so they can finally ID the alleged perpetrators.

We’re told it’s not uncommon for burglary suspects to cross state lines -- and in many cases, cops end up catching suspects wanted in other states, too. So it sounds like they’re thinking this crew may have already skipped town.

Powerlifter Stefi Cohen -- a social media personality with 1 million followers on Instagram -- allegedly scratched her boyfriend during a heated dispute just prior to her arrest last week.

Court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, reveal Cohen allegedly got physical with her BF during an altercation at around 12:47 PM at a Miami-area residence on July 1.

The docs state the alleged victim told officers the two were arguing over their relationship -- when he decided to leave after he noticed Cohen "was recording their conversation with her computer."

A popular influencer and champion powerlifter has been arrested for battery ... this after she was previously arrested for allegedly leaking nude photos of her ex-boyfriend's new flame.

Stefanie Cohen Magarici -- a social media personality who goes by Dr. Stefi Cohen on Instagram and describes herself as a doctor of physical therapy -- was arrested Wednesday on a domestic violence battery charge.

Mark Geragos is going out on a limb and taking a stab at how long Diddy will spend behind bars for his recent conviction on prostitution charges ... and if he's right, Diddy will be a free man sooner rather than later.

Harvey Levin and Mark examined the next steps in the Diddy case Wednesday on the "2 Angry Men" podcast ... and the famed defense attorney explained why he thinks the judge will sentence Diddy to between 12 and 18 months behind bars.

Diddy's already spent almost 10 months in jail and he's still in custody pending sentencing ... and his time served will go towards his sentence.

The Diddy trial is mostly in the books after the jury acquitted him of the most serious charges -- racketeering and sex trafficking -- and prosecutors are coming out looking like huge losers.

Diddy learned his fate Wednesday when a jury of his peers reached a verdict in his criminal case ... and they only found him guilty on a pair of lesser charges ... two counts of the Mann Act -- transportation for prostitution across state lines.

The Bad Boy Records founder skated on the bigger charges and there's no way prosecutors would have brought this case if all they had on Diddy was a prostitution offense.
