    • Some passengers on an Alaska-bound Princess Cruises ship the night of July 25 could hear a woman screaming onboard, <a href="http://people.com/crime/alaska-cruise-victim-murder-mystery-dinner-kristy-manzanares/" target="_blank">though they initially thought</a> it was part of a murder-mystery-themed trivia game. Then a witness found Kristy Manzanares, a 39-year-old mom-of-three (left), <a href="http://people.com/crime/5-things-to-know-kristy-manzanares-murder/" target="_blank">dead on the floor in her cabin</a>, with a head wound and blood “spread throughout the room."

“She would not stop laughing at me,” the Utah woman’s bloodied husband, Kenneth Manzanares (right), allegedly told the witness, <a href="http://people.com/crime/cruise-ship-woman-allegedly-killed-husband-not-stop-laughing-at-me/" target="_blank">according to an affidavit</a> for his arrest. (The cruise line called the incident <a href="http://people.com/crime/kristy-manzanares-death-cruise-ship-alleged-domestic-dispute/" target="_blank">a “domestic dispute.”</a>) Kristy's family <a href="http://people.com/crime/family-remembers-slain-cruise-ship-passenger/" target="_blank">has since publicly mourned her</a> as "the light of our lives — a devoted mother, daughter, sister and friend." Quickly charged <a href="http://people.com/crime/utah-woman-cruise-ship-death-charged-murder/" target="_blank">with his wife's murder</a>, Kenneth, 39, allegedly told the FBI, “My life is over.” His attorney has declined to comment to PEOPLE; he has not entered a plea.
    • Former attorney Lonnie Kocontes was divorced from Micki Kanesaki, 52, but the two traveled together on a 2006 cruise <a href="http://people.com/crime/man-accused-of-killing-his-second-wife-allegedly-tried-to-kill-third-wife/" target="_blank">from which she disappeared</a>. Her strangled body then turned up in Italian waters, with Kocontes already back in the U.S. with a woman he later married. In 2013, prosecutors charged him with Kanesaki’s murder, arguing he acted to gain control of more than $1 million from her assets. In a twist, Kocontes was later charged with allegedly trying to have the subsequent — and now ex — wife killed after she gave grand jury testimony against him. He’s awaiting trial on all charges and has pleaded not guilty.

    Lawyer: Assange was offered US pardon if he cleared Russia

    JMP: Fitzgerald said a statement from another Assange lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, recounted "Mr. Rohrabacher going to see Mr. Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr. Assange ... said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.” Sure sounds like something Trump would do....
