Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Judge Announces Wrong Verdict in Murder Case: A Fulton County jury acquitted Alton Oliver of murdering off-duty Deputy James Thomas, agreeing he acted out of fear after repeated late-night advances and confrontations. In court, however, Judge Henry M. Newkirk mistakenly read the verdict as “guilty” before being corrected that the official verdict form declared Oliver “not guilty” on all counts. 6:10pm- Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan (a Democrat appointee) was arrested after refusing to leave a restaurant. In the viral video, Flanagan—who appears to be intoxicated—can be heard screaming “I’m an AG” over and over again. 6:15pm- A training course taught by therapists has instructed mental health professionals to view Donald Trump supporters as “cult members.” 6:30pm- New Jersey Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill is making some truly puzzling campaign decisions that are sure to hurt her in November’s election. 6:40pm- In response to Hurricane Erin, Governor Phil Murphy said: "I don't want to be the Amityville mayor from Jaws, but the fact of the matter is, I think going in the ocean for the next number of days is something you got to avoid.”
