During her Mans Best Friend Spotify event in Los Angeles, Sabrina Carpenter revealed the very unusual role shed like to play in Season 2 of Owen Thieles hit FX series Adults. Spoiler alert: its not your typical guest star spot.Sabrinas Dream CameoIn a conversation with Thiele, Carpenter didnt pitch herself as a love interest, rival, or even a background extra. Instead, she went for something far more outrageous.Id love to be the growth on your back, she told Thiele, leaving him visibly stunned.What? Thiele asked.Like if I was just attached to you like a backpack all season and no one spoke about it, wouldnt that be fun? No one said a word. But I was just there, Carpenter explained.Like a Pimple?Thiele tried to wrap his head around the idea, asking: Like a pimple?Like an extension of you, Carpenter replied with a smile.Thiele laughed, immediately leaning into the bit. I mean, I love that. Were gonna pitch that.Carpenter sealed the moment with: Lets do it.Could It Actually Happen?If you missed it, FXs Adults is the kind of comedy that makes you laugh because its way too real. The series follows five messy twenty-somethings Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele) as they try (and fail) to figure out adulthood while sharing meals, heartbreaks, and occasionally toothbrushes in a New York crash pad.Think: job hunts, awkward hookups, healthcare nightmares, and wildly bad theories on what being a grown-up actually means. At its core, though, the show is about friendship showing up for each other, even when everything else is a disaster.With creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw behind the scripts, plus heavy-hitting producers like Nick Kroll and Jonathan Krisel, Adults balances heart and chaos in all the best ways.As of now, Adults has not been renewed for a second season. But you can stream all of Season 1 on Hulu.Source

President Donald Trump speaks during a cabinet meeting, Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, at the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2025-08-29T21:47:17Z WASHINGTON (AP) A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump had no legal right to impose sweeping tariffs on almost every country on earth but left in place for now his effort to build a protectionist wall around the American economy.The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found Trump overstepped his authority under an emergency powers law, a major legal blow that largely upheld a May decision by a specialized federal trade court in New York.It seems unlikely that Congress intended to grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs, the judges wrote in a 7-4 ruling. But they did not strike down the tariffs immediately, allowing his administration until mid-October to appeal to the Supreme Court. The president vowed to do just that. If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America, Trump wrote on his social media platform. White House spokesman Kush Desai said Trump had acted lawfully, and we look forward to ultimate victory on this matter.An attorney for small businesses affected by the tariffs, meanwhile, said the ruling shows Trump doesnt have unlimited power to impose tariffs on his own. This decision protects American businesses and consumers from the uncertainty and harm caused by these unlawful tariffs, said Jeffrey Schwab, director of litigation at the Liberty Justice Center. Still, it remains unclear whether businesses will see any effects from the decision, said National Foreign Trade Council President Jake Colvin. Stay up to date with similar stories by signing up to our WhatsApp channel. If these tariffs are ultimately struck down, it ought to serve as a wake up call for Congress to reclaim its constitutional mandate to regulate duties and bring some long-term certainty for U.S. businesses and relief for consumers, Colvin said. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon said he plans to force votes on repealing these harmful, regressive taxes at every opportunity. Putting pressure on alliesThe ruling complicates Trumps ambitions to upend decades of American trade policy completely on his own. Trump has alternative laws for imposing import taxes, but they would limit the speed and severity with which he could act. His tariffs and the erratic way hes rolled them out have shaken global markets, alienated U.S. trading partners and allies and raised fears of higher prices and slower economic growth.But hes also used the levies to pressure the European Union, Japan and other countries into accepting one-sided trade deals and to bring tens of billions of dollars into the federal Treasury to help pay for the massive tax cuts he signed into law July 4. The administration could lose a pillar of its negotiating strategy, Ashley Akers, senior counsel at the Holland & Knight law firm and a former Justice Department trial lawyer, said before the appeals court decision. A dissent from the judges who disagreed with Fridays ruling clears a possible legal path for Trump, concluding that the 1977 law allowing for emergency actions is not an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority under the Supreme Courts decisions, which have allowed the legislature to grant some tariff authorities to the president. The government has argued that if the tariffs are struck down, it might have to refund some of the import taxes that its collected, delivering a financial blow to the U.S. Treasury.Revenue from tariffs now totals $159 billion, more than double what it was at the same point the year before. Indeed, the Justice Department warned in a legal filing this month that revoking the tariffs could mean financial ruin for the United States. For all the tariffs that have been collected under IEEPA, youre going to see folks request refunds and more refunds, said trade attorney Ryan Majerus, a partner at King & Spalding and a former White House economic adviser.Attorney General Pam Bondi, meanwhile, accused the judges of interfering with the presidents central role in foreign policy and vowed to appeal. What tariffs are in questionThe ruling involves two sets of import taxes, both of which Trump justified by declaring a national emergency under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA): The sweeping tariffs he announced April 2 Liberation Day, he called it when he imposed reciprocal tariffs of up to 50% on countries with which the United States runs trade deficits and a baseline 10% tariff on just about everyone else. Those tariff rates have since been revised by Trump, in some cases after trade negotiations, and generally went into effect Aug. 7. The national emergency underlying the tariffs, Trump said, was the long-running gap between what the U.S. sells and what it buys from the rest of the world. The president started to levy modified tariff rates in August, but goods from countries with which the U.S. runs a surplus also face the taxes. The trafficking tariffs he announced Feb. 1 on imports from Canada, China and Mexico and later refined. These were designed to get those countries to do more to stop what he declared a national emergency: the illegal flow of drugs and immigrants across their borders into the United States. The Constitution gives Congress the power to impose taxes, including tariffs. But over the decades, lawmakers have ceded authority to the president, and Trump has made the most of the power vacuum.But Trumps assertion that IEEPA essentially gives him unlimited power to tax imports quickly drew legal challenges at least seven cases. No president had ever used the law to justify tariffs, though IEEPA had been used frequently to impose export restrictions and other sanctions on U.S. adversaries such as Iran and North Korea.The plaintiffs argued that the emergency power law does not authorize the use of tariffs.They also noted that the trade deficit hardly meets the definition of an unusual and extraordinary threat that would justify declaring an emergency under the law. The United States, after all, has run trade deficits in which it buys more from foreign countries than it sells them for 49 straight years and in good times and bad.Emergency powersThe Trump administration argued that courts approved President Richard Nixons emergency use of tariffs in a 1971 economic crisis that arose from the chaos that followed his decision to end a policy linking the U.S. dollar to the price of gold. The Nixon administration successfully cited its authority under the 1917 Trading With the Enemy Act, which preceded and supplied some of the legal language used in IEEPA.In May, the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York rejected the argument, ruling that Trumps Liberation Day tariffs exceed any authority granted to the President under the emergency powers law. In reaching its decision, the trade court combined two challenges one by five businesses and one by 12 U.S. states into a single case.In the case of the drug trafficking and immigration tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico, the trade court ruled that the levies did not meet IEEPAs requirement that they deal with the problem they were supposed to address. The court challenge does not cover other Trump tariffs, including levies on foreign steel, aluminum and autos that the president imposed after Commerce Department investigations concluded that those imports were threats to U.S. national security. Nor does it include tariffs that Trump imposed on China in his first term and President Joe Biden kept after a government investigation concluded that the Chinese used unfair practices to give their own technology firms an edge over rivals from the United States and other Western countries.Trump could potentially cite alternative authorities to impose import taxes, though they are more limited. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, for instance, allows the president to tax imports from countries with which the U.S. runs big trade deficits at 15% for 150 days.Likewise, Section 301 of the same 1974 law allows the president to tax imports from countries found to have engaged in unfair trade practices after an investigation by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Trump used Section 301 authority to launch his first-term trade war with China.___Associated Press writers Mark Sherman and Josh Boak contributed to this story.

Displaced Palestinians fleeing northern Gaza Strip move with their belongings on a street in Gaza City, Friday, Aug. 29, 2025. (AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi)2025-08-30T10:53:22Z JERUSALEM (AP) Israel will soon slow or halt humanitarian aid into parts of northern Gaza as it expands its offensive attempting to cripple Hamas, an official said on Saturday.The official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, told The Associated Press that Israel will stop airdrops over Gaza City in the coming days and reduce the arrival of aid trucks into the northern part of the strip as it prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands of residents south.Israel on Friday declared Gaza City a combat zone, calling it a Hamas stronghold and alleging that a network of tunnels remains in use despite several previous large-scale raids on the area throughout the nearly 23-month-long war. The shift comes weeks after Israel first announced plans to widen its offensive in the city, where hundreds of thousands are sheltering while enduring famine. In recent days, the military has ramped up strikes on the citys outskirts. AP video footage overnight Friday showed several large explosions across Gaza. The militarys announcement to resume fighting came as the death toll in Gaza rose to more than 63,000 people. On Saturday, four people were killed by Israeli gunfire while trying to get aid in central Gaza, according to health officials at Awda hospital, were the bodies were brought. It was unclear when the pause in aid would begin and when the airdrops would fully stop. By Saturday there had been no airdrops for several days across Gaza, a break from the almost daily drops for the past few weeks. Israels army didnt respond to a request for comment about the airdrops or how it would provide aid to Palestinians as Israel ramped up its offensive. On Friday, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee urged Palestinians to flee south, calling evacuation inevitable. Aid groups warn that a largescale evacuation of Gaza City would exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis. Earlier this month the leading authority on food crises said that Gaza City was in famine and that half a million people across the strip were facing catastrophic levels of hunger. On Saturday the health ministry in Gaza said 10 people died as a result of starvation and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, among them three children. Such an evacuation would trigger a massive population movement that no area in the Gaza Strip can absorb, given the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and the extreme shortages of food, water, shelter and medical care, said Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, in a statement Saturday. Its impossible that a mass evacuation of Gaza City could be done in a safe and dignified way, she said. Hundreds of residents have begun leaving Gaza City, piling their few remaining possessions onto pickup trucks or donkey carts. Many have been forced to leave their homes more than once.The U.N. said Thursday that 23,000 people had evacuated this past week, but many in Gaza City say there is nowhere safe to go. Others who have been displaced south worry that the area cant support an influx of people. There is no food and even water is not available. When it is available, it is not safe to drink, said Amer Zayed as he waited for food from a charity kitchen in the southern city of Deir Al-Balah.What exacerbates the situation is the displacement of residents ... The suffering gets worse when there are more displaced people, he said. Shurafa reported from Deir-al-Balah, Gaza Strip.

Protesters walk by as the local parliament building is engulfed in flames during a protest following the death of a delivery rider in clashes between riot police and students protesting against lawmakers' allowances in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, Friday, Aug. 29, 2025. (AP Photo/ Masyudi Firmansyah)2025-08-30T08:46:05Z JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) An angry mob set fire to a local parliament building in an Indonesian provincial capital, leaving at least three people dead and five others hospitalized, officials said.The blaze in Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province, began late Friday. Television reports showed the provincial council building ablaze overnight, causing the area to turn an eerie orange color.Rescuers retrieved three bodies by Saturday morning, while five people were hospitalized with burns or with broken bones after jumping from the building, said Fadli Tahar, a local disaster official.Protesters in West Javas Bandung city also set a regional parliament ablaze on Friday, but no casualties were reported. In Surabaya, Indonesias second-largest city, protesters stormed the regional police headquarters after destroying fences and torching vehicles. Security forces fired tear gas and used water cannons, but demonstrators fought back with fireworks and wooden clubs. Foreign embassies in Jakarta, including the U.S., Australia and Southeast Asian countries, have advised their citizens in Indonesia to avoid demonstration areas or large public gatherings. Calm largely returned to Indonesia s capital on Saturday as authorities cleaned up burned-out cars, police offices and bus shelters that were set ablaze by angry protesters. Stay up to date with similar stories by signing up to our WhatsApp channel. Five days of protests began in Jakarta on Monday, sparked by reports that all 580 lawmakers receive a monthly housing allowance of 50 million rupiah ($3,075) in addition to their salaries. The allowance, introduced last year, is almost 10 times the Jakarta minimum wage. Critics argue the new allowance is not only excessive but also insensitive at a time when most people are grappling with soaring living costs and taxes and rising unemployment.The protests grew wider and more violent following the death of 21-year-old ride-hailing driver Affan Kurniawan. A video on social media apparently showing his death during a rally in the capital Jakarta on Thursday shocked the nation and spurred an outcry against the security forces. Kurniawan was reportedly completing a food delivery order when he was caught in the clash. Witnesses told local television that the armored car from the National Polices Mobile Brigade unit suddenly sped through the crowd of demonstrators and hit Kurniawan, causing him to fall. Instead of stopping, the car ran over him.On Saturday, hundreds of ride-hailing drivers and students in Bali staged a solidarity demonstration over Kurniawans death in a rare protest on the tourist island. They called for police reform and the release of those arrested during the protests.Protesters marched to Balis regional police headquarters and riot police fired rounds of tear gas at them to push back those who tried to reach the heavily guarded compound. Protesters responded by throwing rocks, bottles and flares.Clashes between riot police and protesters erupted in multiple cities across Indonesia on Friday, including in Medan, Solo, Yogyakarta, Magelang, Malang, Bengkulu, Pekanbaru and Manokwari in easternmost Papua region. Some 950 people were arrested in rallies in Jakarta alone by Thursday, according to the National Commission on Human Rights, or Komnas HAM. Authorities said about 25 officers were hospitalized with serious injuries after being attacked by protesters in Jakarta. The Komnas HAM believed that the number of injured people on the community side is much bigger.Amnesty International criticized Indonesias government Saturday, saying it suppresses free speech with crackdowns on public protests.No one should lose their lives for exercising their right to protest, said Usman Hamid, the Executive Director of Amnesty International Indonesia. The authorities must immediately and unconditionally release anyone detained solely for exercising their rights, he said.___Associated Press journalists Dita Alangkara and Achmad Ibrahim in Jakarta, contributed to this report.

The Conn Student Union at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., is shown Friday, May 20, 2022. (Matt Hamilton//Chattanooga Times Free Press via AP, File)2025-08-30T04:03:33Z One international student after another told the University of Central Missouri this summer that they couldnt get a visa, and many struggled to even land an interview for one.Even though demand was just as high as ever, half as many new international graduate students showed up for fall classes compared to last year.The decline represents a hit to the bottom line for Central Missouri, a small public university that operates close to its margins with an endowment of only $65 million. International students typically account for nearly a quarter of its tuition revenue.We arent able to subsidize domestic students as much when we have fewer international students who are bringing revenue to us, said Roger Best, the universitys president.Signs of a decline in international students have unsettled colleges around the U.S. Colleges with large numbers of foreign students and small endowments have little financial cushion to protect them from steep losses in tuition money. International students represent at least 20% of enrollment at more than 100 colleges with endowments of less than $250,000 per student, according to an Associated Press analysis. Many are small Christian colleges, but the group also includes large universities such as Northeastern and Carnegie Mellon.The extent of the change in enrollment will not be clear until the fall, Some groups have forecast a decline of as much as 40%, with a huge impact on college budgets and the wider U.S. economy. International students face new scrutiny on several frontsAs part of a broader effort to reshape higher education, President Donald Trump has pressed colleges to limit their numbers of international students and heightened scrutiny of student visas. His administration has moved to deport foreign students involved in pro-Palestinian activism, and new student visa appointments were put on hold for weeks as it ramped up vetting of applicants social media.On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security said it will propose a rule that would put new limits on the time foreign students can stay in the U.S.The policies have introduced severe financial instability for colleges, said Justin Gest, a professor at George Mason University who studies the politics of immigration.Foreign students are not eligible for federal financial aid and often pay full price for tuition double or even triple the in-state rate paid by domestic students at public universities.To put it more dollars and cents-wise, if an international student comes in and pays $80,000 a year in tuition, that gives universities the flexibility to offer lower fees and more scholarship money to American students, Gest said.A Sudanese student barely made it to the US for the start of classes Ahmed Ahmed, a Sudanese student, nearly didnt make it to the U.S. for his freshman year at the University of Rochester. The Trump administration in June announced a travel ban on 12 countries, including Sudan. Diplomatic officials assured Ahmed he could still enter the U.S. because his visa was issued before the ban. But when he tried to board a flight to leave for the U.S. from Uganda, where he stayed with family during the summer, he was turned away and advised to contact an embassy about his visa. With the help of the University of Rochesters international office, Ahmed was able to book another flight. At Rochester, where he received a scholarship to study electrical engineering, Ahmed, 19, said he feels supported by the staff. But he also finds himself on edge and understands why other students might not want to subject themselves to the scrutiny in the U.S., particularly those who are entirely paying their own way. I feel like I made it through, but Im one of the last people to make it through, he said. Colleges are taking steps to blunt the impactIn recent years, international students have made up about 30% of enrollment at Central Missouri, which has a total of around 12,800 students. In anticipation of the hit to international enrollment, Central Missouri cut a cost-of-living raise for employees. It has pushed off infrastructure improvements planned for its campus and has been looking for other ways to cut costs.Small schools typically classified as those with no more than 5,000 students tend to have less financial flexibility and will be especially vulnerable, said Dick Startz, an economics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Lee University, a Christian institution with 3,500 students in Tennessee, is expecting 50 to 60 international students enrolled this fall, down from 82 the previous school year, representing a significant drop in revenue for the school, said Roy Y. Chan, the universitys director of graduate studies. The school already has increased tuition by 20% over the past five years to account for a decrease in overall enrollment, he said. Since were a smaller liberal arts campus, tuition cost is our main, primary revenue, Chan said, as opposed to government funding or donations. The strains on international enrollment only add to distress for schools already on the financial brink.Colleges around the country have been closing as they cope with declines in domestic enrollment, a consequence of changing demographics and the effects of the pandemic. Nationwide, private colleges have been closing at a rate of about two per month, according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association.The number of high school graduates in the U.S. is expected to decline through 2041, when there will be 13% fewer compared to 2024, according to projections from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. That means that if you lost participation from international students, its even worse, Startz said.___The Associated Press education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

In this photo provided by the U.S. Navy, Rear Adm. John Korka, Commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), and Chief of Civil Engineers, leads Navy and civilian water quality recovery experts through the tunnels of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Dec. 23, 2021. (Mass Communication Spc. 1st Class Luke McCall/U.S. Navy via AP, File)2025-08-30T04:42:34Z HONOLULU (AP) A grand jury has indicted two civilian workers on charges they caused the Navy to provide the Hawaii Department of Health with false information about jet fuel that spilled from a Pearl Harbor storage facility before it later seeped into drinking water and sickened 6,000 people over Thanksgiving in 2021.The indictments are the first to result from the fuel spill that angered Hawaii residents, lawmakers and military service members and their families. The military decided to close the aging World War II-era fuel tanks after the spill. A Navy investigation in 2022 found shoddy management and human error caused the leak at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. The Defense Departments inspector general last year found Navy officials lacked sufficient understanding of the risks of maintaining massive fuel storage tanks on top of a Pearl Harbor drinking water well. The Navy issued written reprimands to three retired military officers for their roles in the fuel spill. The indictment returned Thursday alleges John Floyd and Nelson Wu provided the Navy with inaccurate information about a May 2021 spill that occurred six months before the fuel got in the drinking water. The indictment says they caused the Navy to mislead the Hawaii Department of Health about how much fuel leaked from one of the tanks and reassured officers that their information was accurate. This caused the Navy to tell the department in the months after May that 1,618 gallons (6,125 liters) leaked instead of 20,000 gallons (75,700 liters) and failed to report that it was unable to find 18,000 gallons (68,000 liters), prosecutors say. The indictment alleges Floyd and Wu redacted data from records provided. Floyd and Wu were each indicted on one count of conspiracy and one count of making false statements. Stay up to date with the latest U.S. news by signing up to our WhatsApp channel. Floyd was the Fuels Department deputy director at Red Hill while Wu was the Fuels Department supervisory engineer. The federal public defenders office, which is representing Floyd, didnt immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Wus attorney, Alen Kaneshiro, said he didnt have a comment at this time. The Navys investigation found fuel gushed from a ruptured pipe on May 6, 2021. Most of it flowed into a fire suppression drain system, where it sat unnoticed for six months until a cart rammed a sagging line holding the liquid and caused fuel to pour out. Crews believed they mopped up most of this fuel, but they failed to get it all and some flowed into a drain and drinking water well that supplied water to 90,000 people at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.Wayne Tanaka, the director of the Sierra Club of Hawaii, said culpability extended beyond the alleged actions of the two civilians. He said in a statement the Navys own investigation showed officials knew some 20,000 gallons were unaccounted for after the May incident and yet it didnt inform the community or regulators. He said Navy leaders sidelined a whistleblower who sounded alarms about the mismanagement of Red Hill. Fuel leaks at Red Hill had occurred before, including in 2014, prompting the Sierra Club of Hawaii and the Honolulu Board of Water Supply to ask the military to move the tanks to a place where they wouldnt threaten Oahus water. But the Navy refused, saying the islands water was safe. AUDREY McAVOY McAvoy is a Honolulu-based reporter focused on covering state government and general news in Hawaii. mailto

In this undated photo provided by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on Friday, Aug. 29, 2025, Pauline Mullins Pusser's body is exhumed from her grave in Adamsville Cemetery, in Adamsville, Tenn., in 2024. (TBI via AP)2025-08-30T00:20:28Z A late Tennessee sheriff who inspired a Hollywood movie about a law enforcement officer who took on organized crime killed his wife in 1967 and led people to believe she was murdered by his enemies, authorities said Friday. Authorities acknowledged that the finding will likely shock many who grew up as Buford Pusser fans and watched 1973s Walking Tall, which immortalized him as a tough but fair sheriff with zero tolerance for crime. The movie was remade in 2004, and many officers joined law enforcement because of his story, according to Mark Davidson, the district attorney for Tennessees 25th judicial district.There is enough evidence that if Pusser, the McNairy County sheriff who died in a car crash seven years after his wifes death, were alive today, prosecutors would present an indictment to a grand jury for the killing of Pauline Mullins Pusser, Davidson said. Investigators also uncovered signs that she suffered from domestic violence. Prosecutors worked with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which began reexamining decades-old files on Paulines death in 2022 as part of its regular review of cold cases, agency director David Rausch said. Agents found inconsistencies between Buford Pussers version of events and the physical evidence, received a tip about a potential murder weapon and exhumed Paulines body for an autopsy. This case is not about tearing down a legend. It is about giving dignity and closure to Pauline and her family and ensuring that the truth is not buried with time, Davidson said in a news conference streamed online. The truth matters. Justice matters. Even 58 years later. Pauline deserves both. Evidence does not back up sheriffs storyThe case dates to Aug. 12, 1967. Buford Pusser got a call in the early morning hours about a disturbance. He reported that his wife volunteered to ride along with him as he responded. Buford Pusser said that shortly after they passed New Hope Methodist Church, a car pulled up and fired several times into the vehicle, killing Pauline and injuring the sheriff. Buford Pusser spent 18 days in the hospital and required several surgeries to recover. The case was built largely on his own statement and closed quickly, Rausch said.During the reexamination of the case, Dr. Michael Revelle, an emergency medicine physical and medical examiner, studied postmortem photographs, crime scene photographs, notes made by the medical examiner at the time and Buford Pussers statements. He concluded that Pauline was more likely than not shot outside the car and then placed inside it. He found that cranial trauma suffered by Pauline didnt match crime scene photographs of the cars interior. Blood spatter on the hood outside the car contradicted Buford Pussers statements. The gunshot wound on his cheek was in fact a close-contact wound and not one fired from long range, as Buford Pusser described, and was likely self-inflicted, Revelle concluded. Paulines autopsy revealed she had a broken nose that had healed prior to her death. Davidson said statements from people who were around at the time she died support the conclusion that she was a victim of domestic violence. Brother says investigation gave him closurePaulines younger brother, Griffon Mullins, said the investigation gave him closure. He said in a recorded video played at the news conference that their other sister died without knowing what happened to Pauline and he is grateful he will die knowing. You would fall in love with her because she was a people person. And of course, my family would always go to Pauline if they had an issue or they needed some advice and she was always there for them, he said. She was just a sweet person. I loved her with all my heart.Mullins said he knew there was some trouble in Paulines marriage, but she wasnt one to talk about her problems. For that reason, Mullins said he was not totally shocked.Asked about the murder weapon and whether it matched autopsy findings, Rausch recommended reading the case file for specifics. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation plans to make the entire file, which exceeds 1,000 pages, available to the public by handing it over to the University of Tennessee at Martin once it finishes with redactions.
